Everyone in the LTL space talks about Old Dominion like it is the one untouchable name. And look, the service record is real. But I think the bull case glosses over something important. ODFL runs 260 service centers and spent $415M on capex in 2025. That is a massive fixed-cost structure. And right now, they are running with over 35% spare capacity. When freight volumes are strong, that capacity absorbs well. When they are not — which they have not been lately — those fixed costs hammer returns. The operating ratio looks good in the headlines, but it is propped up by pricing discipline that starts to crack the moment volume competition picks back up from XPO or Saia. Here is my actual ...

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I start as a TTO April 6th of this year out of Gary Indiana I got to go through orientation and a road test. And I wanted to ask will I do orientation and a road test that Monday? Or will the road test be on another day? After the road test and the orientation how long do I have to wait until I come back to work? My friend works as a TTO for the Chicago facility on Harrison and he told me he did orientation one day the next day he did the road test and he was off until that Saturday, Will that be the same for me out of Gary or different? Also I wanted to know what is the job like, My homie gave me a rundown but that's for the Harrison facility in Chicago I...

Hey everyone, I’m trying to gauge my market value for a specialized role I’ve been in for about a year. The Stack & Industry: High-risk E-commerce (Fireworks/Hazmat).

Optimizing specifically for AI Search (Gemini/ChatGPT) results. Logistics Integration: Built the backend logic for LTL Freight (R+L Carriers) within Shopify. Handling real-time rate APIs and Hazmat shipping restrictions. Engineering: Manual theme code merging for every Shopify update (preserving custom Liquid/CSS edits) and data engineering for catalogs with hundreds of SKUs...

Sharing a recent observation from our side. We originally started tightening up our supplier sourcing process because specs, MOQs, and contacts had become increasingly hard to manage. One unexpected outcome was on the freight side. Once supplier data was cleaner and shipment patterns became more consistent, inbound LTL for chemicals to our factory became much easier to plan. Forecasts were clearer, lanes were more predictable, and conversations with our freight broker improved. On the sourcing side we use Tenkara to help standardize suppliers and volumes, while still relying on our ERP and a broker for execution. We didn't set out to improve freight, but the sourcing cleanup had a no...

My manager has told me I must have all this freight done by Tuesday and I'm not allowed to put it out after 6pm on any of the days I'm working on them which means a total of 8 hours considering I'm off Monday and only have tomorrow and Tuesday to have it finished. She won't get us the pre priced stickers so I have to write the price by hand every time. I'm the ONLY person doing DTP. I can't even see the back of the stack there's so many boxes. The paper will be quick once I find space for it but there's a lot of the plus toys buried in this stack among the million other things too. She isn't allowing me to have anyone help me with this. She sa...

Most people look at Old Dominion's recent volume softness and conclude the thesis is broken. I think that's exactly backwards. ODFL runs the best LTL network in the country — 99% on-time delivery, the lowest claims ratio in the industry, and a pricing premium over competitors that has held for over a decade. That premium didn't happen by accident. They built a 260-door terminal network over 30+ years, and nobody is going to replicate it. Here's what's actually happening right now: utilization is running below normal because freight volumes came down from COVID highs. The terminals are there. The drivers are there. The overhead is fixed. When volumes recover — a...

Working in logistics, we spend all day optimizing freight routes, consolidating LTL to FTL to save money, and cutting out inefficient middle-men. But I realized this weekend that I wasn't applying those same principles to my own bank account. I audited my personal "media supply chain". I was paying several different vendors (Netflix, Hulu, Prime, sports packages) every month. The delivery network was fragmented, the UI tracking was a mess, and I was paying a massive premium for a terrible end-user experience. I decided to treat it like a vendor consolidation project. I cut the cord on all the mainstream apps and moved my entire entertainment pipeline to a single, centralized...

I’m work at a mid-sized furniture manufacturing company (we ship a mix of LTL + FTL across the US), and honestly our freight coordination process is starting to break as we scale. Right now, everything is still heavily manual: Orders come in via ERP → team creates loads in spreadsheets We email 8–10 carriers per shipment to get quotes Rates come back at different times (sometimes hours apart) Then tracking is basically… email + calling carriers Updates are copied into spreadsheets and shared internally How are you guys handling carrier communication at scale?
