THOMASVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (OD), a leading less-than-truckload (LTL) freight shipping company, has been selected as the #1 National LTL Carrier for Quality by Mastio & Company for the 16th consecutive year. Through this comprehensive annual survey, shipping experts selected OD as the top carrier for quality based on performance. This year’s results again put OD at the top for quality where it has remained since 2010.
