Company Overview
Old Dominion Freight Line is widely considered the premier LTL (less-than-truckload) carrier in the United States. The publicly traded company consistently reports industry-leading operating ratios and has won numerous Mastio quality awards. OD operates over 250 service centers across the country. LTL driving offers a different lifestyle than truckload, with local P&D (pickup and delivery) drivers getting daily home time and linehaul drivers running terminal-to-terminal overnight routes.
