Esteeville Ltd — Film and TV Transport

About

A family firm, still on the road.

Esteeville Ltd is Jason Clarke & Sons — a family-run film and television transport company built around a fleet that is kept properly and driven by people who understand a set.

Esteeville is a family firm — Jason Clarke & Sons — supplying standby and tech vehicles to film and television productions across Ireland. The name on the side of the truck is the name of the people running it, which is not a slogan so much as an explanation of how the job gets done. The fleet runs from 3.5 tonne Luton box vans up to 26 tonne standby trucks, with box trailers, a low loader and 4x4 support vehicles filling in around it.

Every vehicle goes out with a driver who has worked on productions. That is the part that is hard to buy in — knowing how a unit base is laid out, what a lock-up means for a load-in, and why being early is the whole job.

The fleet is kept clean and consistent, because on a location where the public can see the trucks, presentation is part of what a production is paying for.

Most work is run-of-show: vehicles stay with the production from prep through to wrap, so there is one operator across the whole schedule rather than a new supplier every block.

Being family-run is the part productions notice most. There is no account manager between you and the fleet — you deal with the same people from the first call to the last load-out, and they are the ones who will be driving.

A family firm, not a call centre
Jason, Jason Jr and Daniel — the people who answer the phone are the people who run the trucks. Nothing gets passed down a chain.
Crews who know a set
Drivers who understand call sheets, lock-ups, unit bases and why a truck has to be in the right place before the crew arrives — not after.
A fleet that presents
Vehicles are kept clean and consistent. On a location where the public can see the unit, that matters more than most people expect.
One fleet, whole schedule
Prep through wrap with the same operator, so nobody is re-explaining the job to a new supplier halfway through the block.
Straight answers on availability
Call and you get a real answer on what is free and when — not a form and a wait.
Our name is on the truck
A family name on the side of every vehicle is a strong reason to keep them immaculate and to turn up early.
