Old Dominion Freight

This company as a whole ,is one of the best company's I've ever worked for. I have a great amount of respect for Mr David,Mr Earl ,and Mr McBride down in greensboro,great people,and the shop is amazing,Mr Shannon,and Mr Edd, Mr Willie,anything you need fixed there all there and hesitate not one bit,I would recommend Old Dominion to anyone for employment or shipping needs.

The pay and benefits are good, but central dispatch needs a LOT of work. They are always rude, incredibly unprofessional, and incompetent on their best days. Dealing with them is a nightmare.

I worked my tail off through a temp agency to get hired here. Then 2 months after I got hired I was told there had been an economic downturn and they could no longer support the staff they had and my job would be terminated. I was told I did a great job and performance was not the issue. On more than one occasion the boss said I was older than most people they hire and that people my age usually don’t make it. As I left the night I was terminated there were 5 temps still sitting there working. My numbers were good and goals were met They are also running at least 6 ads for job openings (new ads). So either they are liars or can’t manage a company. They informed me of my loss 30 min after starting my shift and were kind enough to pay me the entire days salary. Something seems very amiss with this company.

I called and left a message & no one had bothered to call me back.

This is a cool place to work for me

At OD you’ll get compensated very well and for the most part left alone to do your job. Work life could definitely be better but in Linehaul that’s usual atleast Pay is great, bennies could be better , winter in Midwest suck but remember your not safe don’t drive, best advice my senior drivers gave haha

Only complaint is with line haul driving, there is no delay pay until after 2 hrs no matter the delay and delay pay is 10 a hour after 2 hours other than that it a good job.

Overall my experience with this company is hands down the absolute best company I’ve ever worked for great pay and good insurance to me it’s the best p&d company out there

OD was a great company to work for. The pay is excellent. They continue to grow. The hours are long and of course linehaul is mostly night, which was the reason for my departure. It's not for everyone. Hours are really long depending on route, but rewarding on the pay check! They let you be a driver with very minimal micromanagement! Good company!

The company was good they had a lot of good things to offer the problem was office politics huge favoritism was overwhelming they didn't care about the customers freight all they care about is the numbers I'm not sure if it was the Newburgh terminal or that's just how they operated but they really didn't care about the customer it was all about the driver numbers the dispatcher didn't like taking responsibility when they screwed up they would just throw you under the bus if you weren't your favorites

Typical day work the dock, and go out in to the city for deliveries and pickups, management is lacking and trying to find mistakes and get rid of drivers for any little mistake a lot of micromanaging and favoritism, it’s like the harder you work the more they pound on you as far as drop of and pickups but the lazy drivers get catered to, not a fair and healthy environment at all, hardest part of the job would be deliver heavy freight to tight areas using a lift gate and deliver tires all day long !! I enjoyed working there until new management and higher ups came in and I’m sure will struggle to keep drivers but they don’t seem to care of keeping you instead will find something to fire you !!

Come to work, do your job and go home. Everybody is amazing in the Conroe plant. My only complaint is no assigned trucks and no set route. They put waaaaaayyyy too many pick ups on you after you have done all your deliveries. The manager and supervisors are by far the best I have ever worked with. Really down to earth folks who understand real life. Only reason I left is because I was offered a different (in my opinion better) opportunity not driving a truck anymore. If I had to drive a truck Old Dominion Freight Line is definitely the best and only place I would go.

Management in general is poor. If you're not a part of the "boys club", then you're nothing at all. Favoritism abounds, seniority means nothing, and the word of 100% of supervisors mean nothing at all. Then you have the drivers....all crybaby. Every single one.

This job as a linehaul driver is very rewarding in all aspects.The People are nice there including management do the job you were hired to to and you will be left alone.

Friendly and approachable management, great guys to work with and a laid back atmosphere. The routes are not too over the top busy. I only left because we moved across the country.

A good place to work as far as compensation goes. And if you can get in good with management it will be a rewarding job. The favoritism was always obvious. Brown nosers to the front, this is the job for you. If you wear camo for no reason and chew tobacco they will take care of you. Very strict workplace for the non favorites. Get used to the eggshells you gotta walk on.

I worked there for almost 8 years. Great pay and benefits. The yearly cost of living raises were good. Everything is by seniority. No favoritism or politics among the drivers. Do your job, go home. No problems.

What is the best part of working at the company? Very easy to work with and the company know the industry and will be around for a long time What is the most stressful part about working at the company? I dont have any stress at my work What is the work environment and culture like at the company? awesome and laid back. do your job and everything will be ok What is a typical day like for you at the company? i drive a truck so it is different everyday

Old Dominion is a good company to work for. Is it perfect....no. But what company is? This a LTL trucking job so expect to work hard. If you have a hurt back or bad knees, you might want to avoid this field of trucking. There are times when you will need to push a 2000 pound pallet with a normal pallet jack. There are times when you will have to drive the bobtail (box truck) into residential tight areas and deliver a pallet of flooring. Most pallets are around 100-500 pounds so it's not that hard physically. The Benicia hub is great hub to work at right now and has good management. This hub is kind of covering two areas in the Bay Area but they are opening another one in Santa Rosa in the next year, so that will take some of the distant pickup/drop offs out of this hubs area. One thing you will have to accept is no overtime pay until 50 hours.
