Company Overview
Old Dominion Freight Line is a less-than-truckload carrier headquartered in Thomasville, North Carolina, with service centers in every part of the country. Its FMCSA filing shows 10,974 power units and 11,620 drivers under active authority. Old Dominion is consistently rated the best-run LTL carrier in the industry, it is non-union, and it promotes from the dock, which is a route some returning drivers have used: start on the dock or in the yard, then move into a city or linehaul seat once the follow-up testing plan is under way. The roadside record is exceptional for the size of the fleet: 4,376 inspections, 28 driver out-of-service orders, about 0.6 percent, and 292 vehicle orders, about 6.7 percent, both a fraction of the national averages. There are 557 recordable crashes in two years across a very large local pickup-and-delivery operation. Old Dominion is on this list from driver reports. Be realistic: a carrier with this safety record and this many applicants can be selective, and its hiring standards are set centrally. Ask the service center manager or the recruiter whether they consider drivers who have completed the SAP program, how long since the violation, and whether a dock position is available while you finish follow-up testing. If you get a clear answer either way, record it on this page so the next driver knows.
