What does it mean when the tracking application reads "at break terminal?"
It means your shipment is currently at an intermediate terminal where it is prepared, put on a truck and sent to the delivering terminal.

When logged into My Estes, you can only track shipments that you are a party to. We determine if you are a party to a shipment in the following ways:

• The account number you signed up for My Estes with is the shipper, consignee or third party to the shipment in question.
• The account number you signed up for My Estes with is the National Account of the shipper, consignee or third party to the shipment in question.
• The account number you signed up for My Estes with is the Group Account of the shipper, consignee or third party to the shipment in question.

You can track any shipments with the unprotected tracking application (on the home page and also from the Quick Tools sidebar), but you receive much less information.

How do I calculate the Modulus 10 check digit for a PRO number?

The check digit is NOT part of the pro #.
MODULUS 10 CHECK DIGIT IS CALCULATED IN THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1. Starting from units position, form a new number with all the odd position digits in the original sequence.
2. Multiply the new number by 2.
3. Add all digits of the product obtained in Step 2.
4. Add the digits in the original number not used in Step 1 to the result of Step 3.
5. The result of Step 4 is subtracted from the next highest multiple of 10. The remainder is the Modulus 10 check digit.

EXAMPLE:

Original Number: 987654
New number formed with odd position digits (Step 1) 864 x 2
Product of new number (Step 2) 1728
Sum of product (Step 3) 1 + 7 + 2 + 8 = 18
Sum of all (Step 4) 9 + 7 + 5 + 18 = 39
Subtract from next multiple of 10 40 – 39 = 1
Modulus 10 check digit 1
This will work with a 7-digit number also.
