Old Dominion (ODFL) Posts Solid August LTL Unit Performance
Read MoreHide Full Article
Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (ODFL - Free Report) provided an update on the performance of its less-than-truckload (LTL) segment, which is its primary revenue generator, in August.
With an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight, which was partially offset by a 0.9% decline in LTL tons per day, ODFL’s revenue per day climbed 14.5% year over year in August 2022. LTL tons per day benefited from a 1.8% increase in LTL weight per shipment. The metric was partly hurt by a 2.7% decrease in LTL shipments per day.
Quarter to date, Old Dominion’s LTL revenue per hundredweight and LTL revenue per hundredweight excluding fuel surcharges jumped 18.1% and 7.3% year over year, respectively.
Greg C. Gantt, president and chief executive officer of Old Dominion, stated, "Old Dominion produced solid revenue growth for the first two months of the third quarter. While our volumes decreased on a year-over-year basis, we continued to improve our yield through the consistent execution of our yield management initiatives. Providing shippers with superior service is required to support these initiatives, and our service levels remain best-in-class. We remain focused on delivering superior service at a fair price and believe customer demand for our value proposition remains strong, which positions us to win further market share."
Some better-ranked stocks in the broader Zacks Transportation sector that investors can consider are GATX Corporation (GATX - Free Report) ,Triton International Limited and Teekay Tankers Ltd. (TNK - Free Report) , each carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
