ODFL Annual Pay Increase
Topic 32208 | Page 1
We will be at .7688 if my math is correct.
Are you guys staying busy? Our P&D guys are struggling to get 40 hours a week at times. They are granting a lot of unpaid days off right now as well if you want one.
P&D:
Pickup & Delivery
Local drivers that stay around their area, usually within 100 mile radius of a terminal, picking up and delivering loads.
LTL (Less Than Truckload) carriers for instance will have Linehaul drivers and P&D drivers. The P&D drivers will deliver loads locally from the terminal and pick up loads returning to the terminal. Linehaul drivers will then run truckloads from terminal to terminal.

Yeah we are busy. At least I am. I'm #11 Seniority but my start time is at 0900 (for family reasons) so I'm starting with the rookie, low Seniority guys. Needless to say they always have 2-6 stops and I get the 12-18 stoppers + pickups. So I'm busy I don't know about them. Our Lead Driver Trainer stepped down so I'm running the ODTDT program now so I'm constantly having to check up on students and trainers and manage all of that.
As far as freight we are busy but not slammed. Its nothing like it was in the past few summers but its busy enough to easily get all the hours you want.

Every August Old Dominion hosts a Wages & Benefits meeting for every terminal. In these meetings they reveal new pay raises they call "cost of living raise" as well as any (if any) changes to the benefits package.
These meetings are hosted by people very high in the company which is amazing considering how large OD has become. This year our Regional Manager hosted it. In the past we have had fine folk like David Bates (Senior VP - Operations) host it. I have personally met him a few times as well as others. In my opinion its unheard to actually meet the top guys for a company with 25,000 employees. One of the many reasons every OD driver will tell you with absolute confidence that this is the best carrier.
