Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. reported certain less-than-truckload (“LTL”) operating metrics for August 2026. Revenue per day increased 12.4% as compared to August 2025 due to an increase in our LTL revenue per hundredweight that was partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in LTL tons per day. The change in LTL tons per day was attributable to a 2.4% decrease in LTL shipments per day that was partially offset by a 1.7% increase in LTL weight per shipment. For the quarter-to-date period, LTL revenue per hundredweight and LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 11.3% and 4.8%, respectively, as compared to the same period last year.
Marty Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, “Old Dominion produced solid revenue growth for July and August, with underlying demand trends remaining relatively consistent as the quarter has progressed. In addition, the strength and consistency of our industry-leading service continue to support the ongoing improvement in our LTL revenue per hundredweight. Our value proposition remains best-in-class, and we have all the necessary elements of capacity in place to support volume growth as the business environment evolves. As a result, we remain confident that through the continued execution of our long-term strategic plan, we are well positioned to win profitable market share and increase shareholder value over the long term.”
