Estes Express confirms cyberattack

Estes Express on Tuesday confirmed that it has been the target of a cyberattack.

The Richmond, Virginia-based LTL carrier did not share details about the attack or what areas of the company have been impacted. In a statement posted Tuesday morning on X, formerly known as Twitter, the company said, “… our terminals and drivers are effectively picking up and delivering freight while we work through this event. We’re working as quickly as possible to resolve this issue and return to business as usual.”

On Monday, Estes posted a notice on X announcing that it suffered an outage that impacted its IT infrastructure but did not specify the cause.

Phone calls made by FreightWaves to the main Richmond headquarters were answered with a recorded message that the call “could not be completed as dialed.” Phone calls made to two Estes depots returned the same message.

Multiple attempts from different individuals at FreightWaves to access the company’s website resulted in a message that the site could not be reached.
