OD is ready to help your business keep its promises. Past developments in the less-than-truckload shipping market may have left you feeling uneasy. In 2023, when the third largest LTL carrier by revenue ceased operations, many shippers were uncertain about how they will ship their freight.
Today’s LTL shipping market has plenty of capacity. But when future freight capacity challenges arise, we want to reassure you that OD is here to help. If you have increased freight volume or need to shift shipments from a different carrier to OD, we can provide you with a solution.
Within OD’s LTL network, we aim for 25-30% excess capacity. We intentionally keep extra capacity in our network so that we can flex with seasonal demand, respond to emergent needs, and grow with our customers as their business grows and still maintain the industry-leading service levels* that they expect from OD.
