What distorts the picture in this report and what to watch beyond the headlines.
ODFL — a less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carrier that moves smaller shipments for business customers through its own network of service centers across the continental United States, with partners covering the rest of North America.
It reports a single segment; LTL has historically brought in more than 98% of revenue, the rest coming from drayage, truckload brokerage and supply chain consulting. · Source: annual report (Form 10-K, SEC)
