OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINE, INC. ANNOUNCES GENERAL RATE INCREASE
April 15 2019 - 5:00PM
Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (Nasdaq: ODFL) today announced a
general rate increase (GRI) of 4.9 percent applicable to rates
established under the existing ODFL 559, 670, and 550 tariffs
effective May 1, 2019.
Todd A. Polen, Old Dominion’s Vice President – Pricing Services,
commented, "At Old Dominion, we are committed to delivering our
premium value proposition of on-time, claims-free service at a fair
price. To satisfy our customers’ expectations and deliver on the
promises we have made, we must continue to enhance our high-quality
service network and systems. This GRI will affect our class tariffs
and is intended to partially offset the rising costs of new
equipment, real estate, technology investments, and competitive
employee wage and benefit packages. Although the GRI will impact
each customer differently based on specific shipment lanes and
distance traveled, it is consistent with our long-term yield
management philosophy and the overall impact of the increase is
anticipated to be approximately 4.9 percent. The GRI also provides
for a nominal increase in minimum charges with respect to
intrastate, interstate and cross border lanes.”
