Huge Cyber Attack On Major Trucking Company Putting Stress On Shipping System

For the last three days Estes Express is being hit hard with the attack. No phones, No Website, No Internal Systems, No nothing. They claim they are still making pick ups and delivery, but that’s not what I’m personally experiencing. Three days in to this, and they don’t know what the cause is and they really aren’t sharing much info.

Essentially, all of their freight across the whole country is at a standstill. It’s now causing a waterfall effect throughout the country’s LTL shipping system…just in time for Q4.

I’ve got a shipment from Estes I’ve been waiting on since the 2nd, which is the only reason I know about the situation. I’m surprised there’s really nothing out there in the MSM about this. Crickets….
