Old Dominion Freight Line Productive Labor Costs by Quarter

Old Dominion Freight Line Productive Labor Costs: 21.7% in Q2 2026, down 2.7 pts from a year earlier.

“Our productive labor costs, which include wages for drivers, platform employees, and fleet technicians, improved as a percent of revenue to 21.7% and 22.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, respectively, from 24.4% and 24.5% for the same periods of 2025. Despite the decrease in network density that generally results from the decline in volumes, our productive labor costs improved as a percentage of revenue, reflecting the leveraging effect of the increase in our yield as well as our continued focus on operating efficiently and delivering superior service to our customers. Our platform productivity metrics and linehaul laden load average improved in the second quarter and first six months of 2026 compared to the same periods of 2025, which helped offset the reduction in our P&D productivity metrics.”
