Trace

Carrier tracking

Estes tracking API

Estes is a freight carrier serving US routes. Trace accepts the Estes carrier code (estes) and returns a normalized tracking timeline when a source provides usable data.

Use the Trace package tracking API to track Estes shipments without integrating directly with Estes's own systems. Send a tracking number, and Trace detects the carrier automatically where possible or accepts the code explicitly.
