In plain English
Old Dominion is the best-run carrier in less-than-truckload (LTL) freight — the business of pooling many companies' small shipments onto the same trucks. It runs its own dense network of 260+ service centers, 5,800+ tractors and 22,500+ trailers, hauling pallets for manufacturers, retailers and e-commerce shippers. It grew this fortress organically (almost no acquisitions), and its industry-leading operating ratio (~75%) makes it the margin benchmark of the freight world — but volumes rise and fall with the industrial economy.
