Description: ODFL Old Dominion Freight Line

Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ: ODFL) is a U.S.-based less-than-truckload (LTL) motor carrier that offers regional, inter-regional, national, and expedited LTL services, supplemented by value-added offerings such as container drayage, truckload brokerage, and supply-chain consulting. The firm also runs its own service and fleet-maintenance centers. As of 31 December 2024, ODFL’s asset base comprised 11,284 tractors, 31,451 linehaul trailers, and 15,263 pickup-and-delivery trailers. Founded in 1934, the company is headquartered in Thomasville, North Carolina.

Key operational metrics from recent filings show an operating ratio of roughly 89 % for FY 2023, indicating strong cost control relative to peers, and a capacity utilization rate consistently above 95 %-a sign that demand for LTL capacity remains robust. The sector’s growth is being driven by e-commerce volume expansion (estimated +6 % YoY in 2023) and a shift toward “last-mile” distribution, while macro-economic pressures such as driver shortages and volatile fuel prices represent material cost risks. ODFL’s balance sheet remains solid, with a debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5 and cash on hand exceeding $500 million, providing flexibility for fleet upgrades and potential acquisitions.
