Successful bidders are slated to pay a whopping $1.88 billion for 128 of bankrupt Yellow Corp.’s trucking terminals at auction — revealing which markets they view as strong investment opportunities.

Trucking carriers and other companies will scoop up properties across much of the country. Yellow will sell three or more terminals in Arizona, California, Georgia, New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

Some locations saw soaring valuations and back-up bids indicating immense interest. Estes Express Lines, which initially valued the full network at $1.525 billion, bid $33 million on a single Indiana terminal: 2530 S. Tibbs Ave. in Indianapolis. The property drew a back-up bid of $31.1 million from ArcBest Corp.’s real estate arm.

The auction is ongoing, with another 46 terminals still for sale, according to a court filing Monday.

Here’s a map showing which bidder submitted the top offer for each terminal, and a look at some of the top bidders’ investments.
