About the company
Old Dominion Freight Line was founded in 1934 by Earl and Lillian Congdon with a single truck and is headquartered in Thomasville, North Carolina. It is one of the largest less-than-truckload carriers in the United States, operating more than 250 service centers, employing roughly 22,000 people, running thousands of tractors and trailers, and serving all 50 states plus Canada and Puerto Rico.
What are the most in-demand roles?
Local pickup-and-delivery drivers, line-haul and team drivers, dockworkers and forklift operators, diesel and forklift maintenance technicians, dispatchers, customer service and sales roles, and service-center management — many entry-level dock positions require no prior freight experience, and the company offers driver training for employees.
What the hiring process looks like
You apply online through the official careers site, then typically go through a phone screening, an interview at the local service center, a background check and drug screen (plus a driving record review and DOT physical for driver roles), and a paid orientation and training period once you start.
