April 17 2019 - 11:00AM
Forbes announced today that Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. was
named to its 2019 list of America’s Best Employers. This list
identifies Old Dominion as a company that stands out in attracting
and retaining top talent.To curate the America’s Best Employers
list, Forbes worked with analytics firm Statista to conduct an
independent survey of more than 50,000 U.S. employees working for
companies employing at least 1,000 people in their U.S. operations.
The companies surveyed are grouped by industry, covering 25
industry sectors, varying from technology and logistics to
consumer, biotechnology and financial services.In 2018, Old
Dominion was the only trucking company named to Forbes Global 2000
‘World’s Best Employers’ list.“We were founded as a family-run
company, and with every new employee, we strive to keep the OD
Family Spirit alive,” said Greg Gantt, president and CEO at Old
Dominion Freight Line. “The OD Family culture values safety,
reliability, courtesy, responsiveness and professionalism, and each
of our 23,000 employees continue to drive that mentality. They are
the reason we earned this title.”To ensure authentic answers,
employees were not consulted by their employers, but answered
questions anonymously through several online panels. The evaluation
is based on two criteria: direct recommendations, where employees
were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own
employer to friends and family, and indirect recommendations, where
participants were prompted to evaluate other employers in their
industry that stood out to them, either positively or
negatively.For more information about Old Dominion, visit
