THOMASVILLE, N.C. (May 22, 2018) — Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. will celebrate the opening of five service centers across the United States in the second quarter, punctuating its steady growth strategy to keep pace with ongoing customer demand. New and relocated facilities in Bowling Green, Ky., Casper, Wyo., Lakeland, Fla., Ogden, Utah and Parkersburg, W.Va. expand the less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier's U.S. network to 230 locations.
"We're always looking forward in order to maintain our commitment to deliver premium service for our customers," said Terry Hutchins, vice president of field services and real estate. "By continually investing in our service center network, we're able to exceed customer expectations every day and drive efficiency, especially as capacity tightens throughout the supply chain."
Terminals feature best-in-class logistics technology and are strategically located to reduce shipping times, increase delivery flexibility and maximize daily volume.
"Old Dominion builds with an eye on future growth," said Hutchins. "Many locations have contingencies in place for additional expansion and hiring based on customer need and positive economic trends."
Latest service centers to launch include:
• Bowling Green, Ky. - OD's new terminal boosts the company's presence in Western Kentucky, bringing its total statewide network to four service centers. The 9.9-acre facility features 43 doors, and is located near I-65 to quickly access a service area that includes Campbellsville, Fort Campbell, Glasgow, Hopkinsville, Russellville and Scottsville in Kentucky and Portland in Tennessee.
• Casper, Wyo. - Near the intersection of I-25 and Bypass 26, OD's new facility provides greater access to central and northern Wyoming and increases shipping efficiency for its customers.

• Lakeland, Fla. - Central Florida remains a strong area for job growth according to OD's research.
