Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (NASDAQ: ODFL) today reported certain less-than-truckload (“LTL”) operating metrics for May 2017. LTL tons per day increased 5.8% as compared to May 2016 due to a 5.7% increase in LTL shipments per day and a 0.1% increase in LTL weight per shipment. For the quarter-to-date period, LTL revenue per hundredweight increased 5.3% and LTL revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges, increased 3.5% as compared to the same period last year.

David S. Congdon, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Old Dominion, commented, “We are pleased with the growth in our LTL tons for April and May, and believe that our growth reflects an improving domestic economy. This growth in LTL tons is also attributable to the consistent execution of our long-term strategic plan, which includes delivering superior service at a fair price to our customers. By continuing to deliver this value proposition in an improving economy, we believe we can win market share and increase shareholder value.”
