Classifying something as the “best” often attracts debate. This is NOT the case with Old Dominion Freight Line. Whether you speak with investors, customers, or even their competitors (!) – ODFL is the best less-than-truckload (LTL) operator.
Our good friend David Kim (aka scuttleblurb) joined us to analyze how ODFL has achieved this reputation. We go through the strong family roots, the network philosophy and adjoining investment program, and just how good those metrics look next to peers.
GLOSSARY
Truckload (TL) – a truckload carrier moves full trailers or containers from the same shipper.
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) – an LTL carrier moves freight for customers who don’t require use of an entire container.
