Company Report

Old Dominion's Volume Trends Reveal Hints of LTL Industry Demand Improvement

Following impressive growth over the past decade, Old Dominion Freight Line is the second-largest US less-than-truckload carrier by revenue (after FedEx Freight) and the clear industry leader in terms of execution, freight selection, and service quality, which is no small factor for shippers. Even during the Great Recession, the company kept its head above water thanks in part to impressive pricing discipline. While other carriers slashed rates dramatically, Old Dominion held firm, keeping core revenue per hundredweight flat.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Given its capacity investment, Old Dominion is well positioned to take incremental market share as former Yellow freight gets shuffled around in the year ahead.

Bears

Yellow aside, underlying demand across the broader trucking industry is facing near-term headwinds from muted retailer inventory restocking and a soft industrial sector.
