About The Position

Old Dominion Freight Line is seeking a Line Haul Driver to operate tractor-trailer combinations over long distances between customer service centers and customer facilities or work sites outside a service center’s geographic area. Drivers handle, sort, load, and unload freight at company and customer locations, and help deliver freight accurately and reliably.

Drivers use tablets or phones for delivery records and navigation, and may unload freight at delivery locations with a hand truck. Work involves prolonged driving as well as substantial physical activity handling freight, operating vehicle equipment, and entering and exiting the cab. Conditions may include enclosed vehicles and trailers, varied weather, changing noise levels, and bright or low-light environments. Shift and hours are determined by scheduling and business needs and may change.
