Also my dads baby brother Joe Denton drove a long time for Averitt Express making the long drive 5 nights a week from Kingsport,tn down to their Chattanooga hub terminal.
    I have worked in corporate offices of both overnite transportation before they became ups freight ( from 1988 to 1993) and in Estes Express Lines richmond,va office since September of 1993. I work in ttaffic/ pricing audits side of the business. Get's old working at a desk over the past 32 years,but it is hard to walk away when Estes pays me very good wages.
