Old Dominion Unveils Weak LTL Unit Performance for November

Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (ODFL) has provided an update on the performance of its less-than-truckload (LTL) segment, which is its primary revenue generator, for November.

Old Dominion's revenue per day fell 4.4% year over year in November2025, owing to a 10% decrease in LTL tons per day, which was partially offset by an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight. The reduction in LTL tons per day was owing to a 9.4% decrease in LTL shipments per day and a 0.6% decrease in LTL weight per shipment.

Quarter to date, Old Dominion’s LTL revenue per hundredweight and LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 5.9% and 5.2%, respectively, year over year.

Marty Freeman, president and chief executive officer of Old Dominion, stated, “Old Dominion’s revenue results for November reflect ongoing softness in the domestic economy, which contributed to a decrease in our volumes. We continued to deliver best-in-class service, which supports our yield management initiatives and ability to increase our LTL revenue per hundredweight. Our team will continue to focus on these core elements of our long-term strategic plan, which we believe has produced a strong track record of financial performance. This plan has also helped us create an unmatched value proposition that we believe will support our ability to win market share and increase shareholder value over the long-term.”
