“Our OD People are the heart of our operations and we’re looking
to add to our workforce in response to a growing demand for our
premium service,” said Marty Freeman, executive vice president and
chief operations officer at Old Dominion Freight Line. “There’s
never been a better time to consider a career in transportation.
These career opportunities offer a great work-life balance, a
competitive compensation package, on-the-job training, and career
advancement opportunity. We encourage qualified candidates to
apply.”
By growing its workforce, Old Dominion can support increased
demand to better serve customers while the country recovers from
the COVID-19 pandemic. Truck drivers in the U.S. became unsung
heroes during the pandemic, keeping supply chains moving, shelves
stocked and medical facilities supplied.
Old Dominion’s current hiring plans include adding 275 line haul
drivers, 260 pickup and delivery drivers, 100 team drivers, and
more than 430 dock workers. With current trends, Old Dominion
anticipates that it will hire a total of 800 drivers in the next
three months with a combination of new employees and by training
current employees in the Company’s Truck Driver Training
Program.
All new truck driver hires will be non-union, full-time
employees with average annual pay ranging from $73,000 for pick-up
and delivery drivers and $99,000 for line haul drivers, additional
benefits such as health insurance including an option at no cost to
the employee, company sponsored 401(k) and paid time off. In some
locations, Old Dominion is offering a $5,000 sign-on bonus for
qualified Class A CDL truck driver candidates.
