That caused me to speculate that my grandfather, Franklin Estes, might be the brother of the father of the founder of the Estes trucking company. Perhaps a connection dating back to the mid-late 1800's.

After passing an Estes truck on the interstate, I earlier ruled out the possibility of Estes Trucking being started by an enthusiastic Estes Rocketeer. There were no thrusters on the rear, and the hood was not shaped like a Big Bertha nose cone. -- Vern


Happy Birthday Vern! Now you'll have to see if you're related to the Estes HVAC people here in Atlanta. Who pronounce their name "ess-teeeeeees"
