I just sent my resume to Old Dominion for a P&D position , I have no experience at all just a recent cdl graduate but the person I emailed told me to send a resume and they'll deff take me in consideration, does anyone here work at ODFL? Can you tell me what it's like to work for OD? If I get hired will they put me in a training program since I have no exp?

No matter where you go you'll be put through training haha
OD is a highly regarded job in the LTL industry but they've been known to be strict about their rules. Cameras in trucks, governed at 62 unless you have a route longer than XXX miles. (I don't know the magic number)
Word has it they just laid a boat load of drivers off in Indianapolis.
Wish I could give you more information but that's all Ive got.
Personally, I'd say jump on it if you get the chance. As far as a first year drivers go you won't find anything better, if money and hometime is your priority at least.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -

No cameras in the trucks, inward OR outward facing. Trucks are governed at 65. Some linehaul trucks are set at 68 and even 70, but those are assigned to specific schedules. I work at the Indy terminal and haven't seen any massive layoff. A couple of drivers were let go for disciplinary reasons and some city guys were moved to the dock temporarily, but there it is.
OP, Old Dominion is a great place to work. I definitely recommend you pursue the opportunity. They do take new drivers as needed, so you've got a good shot. Ltl in general is a good niche of the industry, and OD is a well respected carrier. Check out the OD sub-forum for some good accurate info.
