Old Dominion Conference Call Transcript

All I can say is that I love working for ODFL. I intend on staying my entire career.

 

Times are good !

 

Good for OD. Sweet, Now they can pay Overtime after 40.
I like OD don't take this the wrong way, But heck, Pay some dang overtime after 40 or after 8. Sheesh.

 

OD Leasing is hit or miss. Around here, they pay their mechanics skwat and are always looking for employees.

 

At our barn, the mechanics are prohibited from signing on as drivers - always found this wierd. Yet they'll get 20 something year old kids off the dock and throw them through training school and out on the road. From what I've seen, I don't have a lot of faith in their training, so far as real world skills are concerned.

Their emplyment criteria are strict, and guarded. A team was very nearly not hired for failing to disclose an animal strike. Another, (user on here) had the door slammed in their faces and refused any explanation of why, after repeated attempts. I suspect bigotry played a part, and even my attempts at closure were shut down.

After more than 7 years, we've never met, or heard from - anybody higher than terminal level. Friday willl be our last day, and I'll look back on it as no more than just another job.

Don't get me wrong - they're a good company to work for, their compensation is more than fair, and we've rode the company stock in the 401k from $17/share to over $70. But they're just another company - among many others.

 

Pat yourself on the back, Stand up fella blair, Always talked highly of OD. OD Has it's quirks, Have fun on your next adventure my friend. OD ambassador lol
