Old Dominion Freight Line

Company History: In 1934, Earl Sr. and Lillian Congdon founded Old Dominion Freight Line in Richmond, Virginia, with one truck and a steadfast commitment to keep their promises to customers. Since then, a great deal of work has gone into turning OD into a leader in the freight business. The philosophy of “helping the world keep promises” still guides us to this day as the entire OD family carries on the tradition of helping our customers succeed.
