PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. ("Old Dominion", the "Company" or the
"Registrant", as appropriate for this report) is an interregional and
multi-regional motor carrier transporting primarily less-than-truckload ("LTL")
shipments of general commodities, including consumer goods, textiles and capital
goods to a diversified customer base. In 2001, 97.8% of the Company's shipments
were LTL shipments, which are defined as shipments weighing less than 10,000
lbs. LTL revenue comprised 90.8%, 89.4% and 88.9% of the Company's operating
revenue in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company serves regional
markets in the Southeast, South Central, Northeast, Midwest and West regions of
the country. Old Dominion connects these geographic regions with high quality
interregional service. The Company has also developed strategic partnerships
with foreign-based motor carriers, particularly in Canada and Mexico, to provide
its customers with service to destinations outside the United States.
Old Dominion transports shipping containers between several port cities and
inland points, primarily in its core southeastern service area. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, container services accounted for 2.1% of the Company's
operating revenue. Old Dominion also provides assembly and distribution services
primarily to its retail customers.
Old Dominion's operating strategy is to provide high quality and timely service,
including time definite, guaranteed and expedited delivery services, at
competitive prices, while maintaining low operating costs. Along key
interregional lanes, Old Dominion maintains published service standards that
generally provide for delivery time schedules that are faster than those of its
principal national competitors, in part, because of its more efficient service
center network and use of team drivers. The Company's service standards
generally provide for delivery times of between two and three days along key
interregional lanes between 500 and 1,500 miles. The Company also provides for
one or two-day delivery along regional lanes of less than 500 miles, which Old
Dominion believes is highly competitive.
The Company seeks to reduce unit operating costs and improve service by building
freight volume, or density, in its markets. Increasing density reduces unloading
and reloading at breakbulk facilities, resulting in faster transit times,
reduced cargo claims and more efficient equipment utilization. Old Dominion also
lowers its cost structure and reduces cargo claims by using twin 28-foot
trailers exclusively in its linehaul operations. Use of twin 28-foot trailers
permits the Company to transport freight directly from its point of origin to
destination with minimal unloading and reloading, and permits more freight to be
hauled behind a tractor than could be hauled if the Company used one larger
trailer. Approximately 53% of the Company's LTL tonnage moves directly from the
origination service center to its destination without being reloaded to another
trailer at a breakbulk facility, with a substantial majority of the remaining
tonnage experiencing no more than one breakbulk handling per shipment. Further,
management believes that it gains an operating advantage by maintaining a
flexible work force, which permits service center employees to perform several
functions that result in reliable deliveries and a higher level of customer
satisfaction.
The LTL Industry
LTL companies are generally categorized as regional, interregional or national
motor carriers based upon length of haul. Carriers with average lengths of haul
less than 500 miles are referred to as regional carriers. Carriers with average
lengths of haul between 500 and 1,000 miles are referred to as interregional
carriers. National carriers generally have average lengths of haul that exceed
1,000 miles. For the year ended December 31, 2001, Old Dominion's average length
of haul was 877 miles.
In the motor carrier industry, revenue is primarily a function of weight, length
of haul and commodity class, and is frequently described in terms of revenue per
hundredweight. The Company tracks revenue per hundredweight as a measure of
pricing, commodity mix and rate trends.
2
LTL carriers can improve profitability by increasing lane and service center
density. Increased lane density lowers unit operating costs and improves
service. Increased service center density, by increasing the amount of freight
handled at a given service center location, improves utilization of assets and
other fixed costs.
In recent years, many shippers have attempted to simplify their transportation
requirements by reducing the number of carriers they use by establishing
service-based, long-term relationships with a small group of preferred or "core
carriers" or by the use of third party logistics providers. This trend toward
the use of "core carriers" and third party logistics offers significant growth
opportunities for carriers that possess financial stability and can provide both
regional and interregional, high quality service with low costs. The Company
believes that this trend has created an opportunity for it to increase lane and
service center density along key interregional lanes in which a relatively small
number of carriers offer high quality service. Old Dominion's strategy is to
continue to capitalize on its ability to build its market share in key
interregional and regional lanes. From time to time, certain national carriers
have sought to compete in selected interregional markets and along selected
interregional lanes and may seek to do so in the future as national markets
mature, but the Company believes that it holds a key competitive advantage over
its principal national competitors due to its more efficient service center
network.
Revenue Equipment and Maintenance
At December 31, 2001, the Company operated 2,544 tractors. The Company generally
uses new tractors in linehaul operations for approximately three to five years
and then transfers those tractors to pickup and delivery operations for the
remainder of their useful lives. In a number of Company service centers,
tractors perform pickup and delivery functions during the day and linehaul
functions at night to maximize tractor utilization.
At December 31, 2001, the Company operated a fleet of 10,180 trailers. As the
Company has expanded and its needs for equipment have increased, the Company has
purchased new trailers as well as trailers meeting its specifications from other
trucking companies that have ceased operations. These purchases of pre-owned
equipment, though providing an excellent value, have the effect of increasing
the trailer fleet's average age; however, the Company believes the age of its
trailer fleet compares favorably with its competitors.
The Company develops certain specifications for revenue equipment, the
production and purchase of which are negotiated with several manufacturers.
These purchases are planned well in advance of anticipated delivery dates in
order to accommodate manufacturers' production schedules. The Company believes
that there is sufficient capacity among suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted
flow of equipment.
The table below reflects, as of December 31, 2001, the average age of Old
Dominion's revenue equipment:
Type of Equipment Number
(Categorized by Primary Use) of Units Average Age
---------------------------- -------- -----------
Linehaul tractors 1,742 3.7 years
Pickup and delivery tractors 802 8.5 years
Pickup and delivery trucks 31 6.1 years
Linehaul trailers 8,241 8.4 years
Pickup and delivery trailers 1,939 12.9 years
The Company currently has major maintenance operations at its service centers in
Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Chicago and Des Plaines, Illinois; Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania; Jersey City, New Jersey; Morristown and Memphis, Tennessee; Los
Angeles and Rialto, California; Columbus, Ohio; Greensboro, North Carolina; and
Greenville, South Carolina. In addition, five other service center
locations are equipped to perform routine and preventive maintenance checks and
repairs on the Company's equipment.
3
The Company has an established scheduled maintenance policy and procedure that
is administered by the Vice President - Equipment and Maintenance. Linehaul
tractors are routed to appropriate maintenance facilities at designated mileage
intervals ranging from 12,500 to 25,000 miles, depending upon how the equipment
was utilized. Pickup and delivery tractors and trailers are scheduled for
maintenance every 90 days.
The table below sets forth the Company's capital expenditures for certain
revenue equipment during 2001, 2000 and 1999:
Year Land & Structures Tractors Trailers Total
---- ----------------- -------- -------- -----
2001 $ 33,178,000 $ 5,478,000 $ 2,972,000 $ 41,628,000
2000 $ 21,189,000 $ 21,546,000 $ 9,291,000 $ 52,026,000
1999 $ 17,015,000 $ 7,886,000 $ 4,360,000 $ 29,261,000
Service Center Operations
At December 31, 2001, Old Dominion conducted operations through 115 service
center locations, of which it owns 45 and leases 70. The Company operates major
breakbulk facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Greensboro, North Carolina;
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Indianapolis, Indiana; Morristown, Tennessee; and
Rialto, California, while using some smaller service centers for limited
breakbulk activity. Old Dominion's service centers are strategically located to
permit the Company to provide the highest quality service and minimize freight
rehandling costs.
Each service center is responsible for the pickup and delivery of freight for
its own service area. All inbound freight received by the service center in the
evening or during the night is scheduled for local delivery the next business
day, unless a customer requests a different delivery schedule. Each service
center loads the freight by destination the day it is picked up. Management
reviews the productivity and service performance of each service center on a
daily basis in order to ensure quality service.
The Company also has established primary responsibility for customer service at
the local level. Service center employees trace freight movements using the
Company's automated tracing system, which provides for immediate response to
customer requests for delivery information. Customers may also trace shipments,
obtain copies of documents and initiate other inquires on the Company's website.
While the Company maintains primary accountability for customer service at the
local service center, the Company has established a customer service function at
the corporate offices to offer additional customer support.
The Company plans to expand capacity at existing service centers as well as
expand the number of service centers geographically as opportunities arise that
provide for profitable growth and fit the needs of its customers.
Linehaul Transportation
The Company's Linehaul Transportation Department is responsible for directing
the movement of freight among the Company's service centers. Linehaul
dispatchers control the movement of freight among service centers through
real-time, integrated freight movement systems. The Company also utilizes
load-planning software to optimize efficiencies in its linehaul operations.
Senior management continuously monitors freight movements, transit times, load
factors and other productivity measurements to ensure the Company maintains its
highest levels of service and efficiency.
4
The Company uses scheduled dispatches, and schedules additional dispatches as
necessary, to meet its published service standards. The Company uses twin
trailers exclusively in its linehaul operations to reduce breakbulk handling and
to increase linehaul productivity.
Marketing and Customers
At December 31, 2001, the Company had a sales staff of 268 employees. The
Company compensates its sales force, in part, based upon revenue generated,
Company and service center profitability and on-time service performance, which
the Company believes helps to motivate those employees.
The Company utilizes a computerized freight costing model to determine the price
level at which a particular shipment of freight will be profitable. Elements of
this freight costing model may be modified, as necessary, to simulate the actual
conditions under which the freight will be moved. From time to time, the Company
also competes for business by participating in bid solicitations. Customers
generally solicit bids for relatively large numbers of shipments for a period of
from one to two years and typically choose to enter into a contractual
arrangement with a limited number of motor carriers based upon price and
service.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, Old Dominion's largest 20, 10, and 5
customers accounted for approximately 18.5%, 12.7% and 7.7%, respectively, of
the Company's operating revenue. The Company's largest customer for 2001
accounted for approximately 2.3% of operating revenue. While the Company is not
dependent upon one customer, a reduction or termination of services provided by
the Company to a large group of customers could have an adverse effect on the
Company's business and operating results.
Competition
The transportation industry is highly competitive on the basis of both price and
service. Old Dominion competes with regional, interregional and national LTL and
truckload carriers and, to a lesser extent, with air freight carriers and
railroads, a number of which have greater financial resources, operate more
equipment and have larger freight capacity than the Company. The Company
believes that it is able to compete effectively in its markets by providing high
quality and timely service at competitive prices.
Seasonality
The Company's tonnage levels and revenue mix are subject to seasonal trends
common in the motor carrier industry. Financial results in the first and fourth
quarters are normally lower due to reduced shipments during the winter months.
Harsh winter weather can also adversely impact the Company's performance by
reducing demand and increasing operating expenses. The second and third quarters
reflect increased demand for services during the spring and summer months, which
generally result in improved operating margins.
Safety and Insurance
The Company's Vice President - Safety and Personnel and Vice President - Field
Services implement and monitor its safety and loss prevention programs with the
assistance of 15 field supervisors. The Company's accident frequency, as defined
by the National Safety Council (including minor and unavoidable accidents), was
7.8, 7.4 and 7.3 accidents per million miles for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The Company is self-insured for bodily injury and property damage claims up to
$250,000 per occurrence. Cargo claims are self-insured up to $100,000; however,
after the first two losses exceed $100,000 in a policy year, the retention under
the Company's excess insurance policy is reduced to $50,000 per occurrence. The
Company also is self-insured for workers' compensation in certain states and has
first dollar or high deductible plans in the other states. The Company believes
that its policy of self-insuring up to set limits, together with its safety and
loss prevention programs, is an effective means of managing insurance costs.
5
Old Dominion believes that its current insurance coverage is adequate to cover
its liability risks.
Fuel Availability and Cost
The motor carrier industry is dependent upon the availability of diesel fuel.
Increases in fuel prices and fuel taxes, to the extent not offset by rate
increases or fuel surcharges to customers, shortages of fuel or rationing of
petroleum products could have a material adverse effect on the operations and
profitability of the Company. The Company has not experienced difficulties in
maintaining a consistent and ample supply of fuel. In periods of extreme price
increases, the Company has implemented a fuel surcharge to offset the additional
cost of fuel, which is consistent with other competitors. Management believes
that the Company's operations and financial condition are susceptible to the
same fuel price increases or fuel shortages as those of its competitors. Fuel
costs, excluding fuel taxes, averaged 5.1% of revenue in 2001. In response to
fuel price fluctuations, the Company implemented a fuel surcharge in August
1999, which has remained in effect since that time.
Employees
At December 31, 2001, the Company employed 6,106 individuals in the following
categories:
Number of
Category Employees
-------- ---------
Drivers 3,082
Platform 1,077
Mechanics 194
Sales 268
Salaried, clerical and other 1,485
At December 31, 2001, the Company employed 1,344 linehaul drivers and 1,738 city
drivers. All drivers hired by the Company are selected based upon driving
records and experience. Drivers are required to pass drug tests at employment
and are later required to take such tests periodically, by random selection.
Competition for drivers is intense within the trucking industry, and the Company
periodically experiences difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified
drivers. There can be no assurance that the Company's operations will not be
affected by a shortage of qualified drivers in the future which could result in
temporary under-utilization of revenue equipment, difficulty in meeting shipper
demands and increased compensation levels for drivers. Difficulty in attracting
or retaining qualified drivers could require the Company to limit growth and
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.
To help fulfill driver needs, the Company offers employees and their families
the opportunity to become drivers through the "Old Dominion Driver Training
Program". Since its inception in 1988, 1,112 individuals have graduated from
that program, from which the Company has experienced an annual turnover rate of
approximately 9%. In management's opinion, driver qualification programs, which
are required to be taken by all Company drivers, have been important factors in
improving the Company's safety record. Drivers with safe driving records are
rewarded with bonuses of up to $1,000 annually. Driver safety bonuses paid for
2001 were approximately $622,000.
Management believes that relations with employees are excellent and there are no
employees represented under a collective bargaining agreement. However, there
can be no assurance that a substantial number of the Company's employees will
not unionize in the future, which could increase the Company's operating costs
and force it to alter its operating methods. Any significant unionization of the
Company's workforce could have a materially adverse effect on the Company's
operating results.
6
Regulation
The Surface Transportation Board, an independent entity within the United States
Department of Transportation ("DOT"), regulates and monitors certain activities
within the motor carrier industry. The Company is also regulated by various
state agencies. These regulatory authorities have broad powers, generally
governing matters such as authority to engage in motor carrier operations,
rates, certain mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, and periodic financial
reporting. The motor carrier industry is subject to regulatory and legislative
changes that can affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in
operating practices or influencing the demand and costs of providing services to
shippers.
Interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements
prescribed by the DOT. Such matters as weight and dimensions of equipment are
also subject to federal and state regulation. The Company is subject to federal,
state and local environmental laws and regulations, particularly relating to
underground fuel storage tanks ("USTs"). The Company believes it is in
compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those
relating to USTs, and does not believe that the cost of future compliance will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial
condition.

Results of Operations
2001 Compared to 2000
While lower demand for transportation products was experienced industry-wide,
the Company continued to implement its long-term strategy to increase market
share through improved service products and selective geographic expansion. On
February 10, 2001, the Company purchased selected assets of Carter & Sons
Freightways, Inc. of Carrollton, Texas. Carter & Sons operated a regional
less-than-truckload network of 23 service centers, primarily in Texas and
surrounding states. As a result, the Company opened 13 new service centers and
merged the remaining 10 service centers into its existing operations. This
acquisition allowed the Company to expand its full-state coverage to 23 states
and enhanced its regional and interregional markets in the continental United
States. The Company estimates that the acquisition generated approximately
$23,000,000 of additional revenue in 2001.
A weak national economy, compounded by the terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001, impacted the Company's ability to reach its financial performance goals
for 2001. While revenue grew to $502,239,000, or 5.6% over 2000, increases in
operating costs outpaced revenue growth and resulted in a 13.1% decline in net
income to $11,905,000 compared to $13,696,000 in 2000. Diluted earnings per
share for the year was $1.43 compared to $1.65, a decrease of 13.3%. The
Company's operating ratio for 2001, a measure of profitability calculated by
dividing operating costs by revenue, increased to 95.1% from 94.4% in 2000.
11
In 2001, the Company continued its process of improving its service products and
transit times. Between January 1 and May 30, the Company reduced standard
transit times in approximately 25% of its more than 13,000 service lanes. In
early 2002, the Company announced reductions in transcontinental transit times
by one day in approximately 200 service lanes. The Company believes that it can
continue to increase its market share by providing superior transit times,
offering flexible and guaranteed service options through its Speed Service
products and through competitive pricing.
Although total tonnage decreased .4% in 2001 when compared with 2000, LTL
tonnage, or shipments weighing less than 10,000 lbs., increased 5.4%. Because
LTL shipments generally are priced at a higher revenue per hundredweight, the
Company's revenue increased while tonnage decreased. Net revenue per
hundredweight was $10.11 compared to $9.54 for the prior year, an increase of
6.0%.
The Company operated 115 service centers at year-end 2001 compared to 104
service centers in 2000. These additional service centers required the Company
to increase its tractor and trailer fleet by 6.6% and 6.1%, respectively.
Increases in the number of service centers and the equipment fleet, combined
with relatively flat tonnage between 2001 and 2000, generated excess capacity
and a resulting increase in depreciation and amortization expense to 6.0% of
revenue from 5.7% for 2000.
Linehaul driver pay increased to 12.3% of revenue from 11.8% in 2000, a result
of an increase in intercity miles driven without a comparable increase in
revenue per mile. Intercity miles increased 7.4% while revenue per intercity
mile decreased 1.7%, an indication that linehaul density declined between the
two periods.
The Company self-insures a significant portion of the group health benefits it
provides for its employees and their families. These costs increased 24.5% or
$4,269,000 over the prior year and significantly contributed to the increase in
the Company's operating ratio. Although the Company anticipates the trend of
escalating health care costs to continue for the immediate future, consistent
with national trends, it has identified opportunities to offset a portion of
these higher costs and has implemented those changes in January 2002.
Fuel expense decreased to 5.1% of revenue from 5.6% in 2000. The Company's
general tariffs and contracts generally include provisions for a fuel surcharge,
recorded in net revenue, which has effectively offset significant diesel fuel
price fluctuations. The Company seeks to apply these surcharges until prices
fall below certain floor levels.
Results for 2001 also include the sale and disposition of land and structures,
which included both operating and non-operating properties. Operating properties
were sold for gains before taxes totaling $2,114,000 and were recorded in
"Miscellaneous expenses, net". "Other (income) expense, net" included the sale
and disposal of non-operating properties for a net gain before taxes of
$772,000.
As a result of a higher average level of debt outstanding during 2001, interest
expense increased to 1.2% of revenue from .9%. Outstanding debt was $98,422,000
at December 31, 2001 compared to $83,542,000 at December 31, 2000, an increase
of 17.8%. This increase in debt is primarily due to increased working capital
requirements and to additional financing required to fund $46,963,000 of net
capital expenditures in 2001. The Company capitalized $232,000 in interest
charges in 2001 compared to $1,031,000 in 2000.
The tax rate for both 2001 and 2000 was 39%.
2000 Compared to 1999
Revenue for 2000 was $475,803,000, an increase of 11.6 % over 1999 revenue of
$426,385,000. The Company met its targeted revenue growth of between 10% to 15%
by expanding its market share in its existing markets, through selected
geographic expansion, by increasing its service product offerings and by
implementing a fuel surcharge on its base tariffs and contract pricing.
12
In January 2000, the Company intensified its strategy to increase market share
within existing areas of operations by implementing full state coverage in 16
states east of the Mississippi River. By the end of the second quarter, the
Company implemented full state coverage in 5 additional states, bringing the
total to 21 states. In addition, the Company opened 6 new service centers in
2000, including openings in West Virginia and Oklahoma. These openings increased
the number of states in which the Company has service center facilities to 35.
The Company also introduced its new guaranteed and expedited service product,
Speed Service in early 2000. Speed Service is anticipated to grow significantly
as more customers demand service sensitive and customized delivery services.
In response to the rising costs of petroleum products, particularly diesel fuel,
the Company implemented a fuel surcharge on its tariffs in August 1999.
Generally, this surcharge was designed to offset the cost of fuel above a base
price and increases as fuel prices escalate over the base. The fuel surcharge
accounted for approximately 3.4% of revenue for 2000 while accounting for
approximately .4% of revenue for 1999.
LTL revenue per shipment in 2000 increased 7.3% to $136.36 from $127.13 for 1999
while LTL shipments increased 4.5%. The increase in revenue per shipment was a
result of an 8.5% increase in LTL revenue per LTL hundredweight to $12.83 from
$11.82 and a 1.2% decrease in LTL weight per shipment to 1,063 lbs. from 1,076
lbs. In addition, the Company's average length of haul increased 3.0% to 869
miles from 844 miles, which generally increases both LTL revenue per
hundredweight and LTL revenue per shipment.
The operating ratio increased to 94.4% in 2000 from 93.4% in 1999. Increases in
operating supplies, purchased transportation, insurance and claims liabilities,
and general supplies and expenses contributed to the increased operating ratio,
the 4.6% decline in operating income and the 4.9% decline in net income in 2000
compared to 1999. Diesel fuel, which is expensed in operating supplies,
increased in 2000 to 5.6% of revenue from 3.7% in 1999. While this cost element
reflected the most significant and dramatic increase over the prior year, the
Company was able to offset its impact with the implementation of fuel
surcharges.
Purchased transportation increased to 4.1% of revenue from 3.4%, due to an
increase in cartage expense. Cartage expense, or outsourced pickup and delivery
services, increased to 1.8% of revenue from 1.3% as a result of two factors.
First, the implementation of full-state coverage in 21 states required the
Company to service certain remote locations that were more economically served
by third party agent partners who had more operating density in those areas. As
market share builds, Company personnel and equipment will replace these agents.
Second, growth in certain markets exceeded the Company's operating capacity
resulting in the use of more expensive outside pickup and delivery services to
maintain quality service standards during peak shipping periods. The Company is
addressing these situations by either constructing or leasing larger facilities
to accommodate this growth.
The Company self-insures a portion of its bodily injury, property damage and
cargo claims liabilities. In 2000, the cost of self-insurance increased to 2.4%
of revenue compared to 2.1% for 1999 due to a slight increase in the number and
severity of claims.
General supplies and expenses increased to 3.9% of revenue from 3.7% in 2000,
due in part to the Company's change in its capitalization policy to require a
minimum expenditure of $1,000 before recognizing a depreciable asset, compared
to a minimum expenditure of $500 in 1999. In 2000, the Company continued to
upgrade its desktop equipment and software, much of which fell below the new
capitalization level of $1,000 and was therefore expensed.
The Company's strategy to grow existing markets has resulted in improvements in
asset utilization. These improvements were reflected as decreases in certain
fixed costs as a percent of revenue when compared to the prior year.
Depreciation and amortization decreased to 5.7% of revenue from 5.9%, building
and office equipment rents decreased to 1.5% from 1.7%, and operating taxes and
licenses decreased to 4.0% from 4.2%.
13
Net interest expense decreased slightly to .9% of revenue from 1.0%. While
outstanding debt at year-end 2000 increased $18,672,000 from year-end 1999 and
interest rates generally increased on the Company's variable rate debt
instrument, $1,031,000 in interest charges were capitalized as part of the
construction of service centers in 2000 as compared to $230,000 in 1999.
Net income for 2000 was $13,696,000, a 4.9% decrease from $14,401,000 in 1999.
The effective tax rate was 39.0% for 2000 compared to 38.6% for 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Expansion in both the size and number of service center facilities, the planned
tractor and trailer replacement cycle and revenue growth have required continued
investment in property and equipment. In order to support these requirements,
the Company incurred net capital expenditures of $46,963,000 during 2001. Cash
flows generated internally funded 68.7% of the required capital expenditures for
the year while the remainder was funded through additional borrowings. At
December 31, 2001, long-term debt including current maturities increased to
$98,422,000 from $83,542,000 at December 31, 2000.
The Company estimates net capital expenditures to be approximately $55,000,000
to $60,000,000 for the year ending December 31, 2002. Of that, approximately
$18,000,000 is planned to be used for the purchase or construction of larger
replacement service centers or expansion of existing service centers,
$29,000,000 is planned to be used to purchase revenue equipment and the balance
is planned to be used for investments in technology and other assets. The
Company plans to fund these expenditures primarily through cash flows from
operations supplemented by additional borrowings.
On May 31, 2000 the Company entered into a $62,500,000 uncollateralized
committed credit facility consisting of a $50,000,000 line of credit and a
$12,500,000 line to support standby letters of credit. This facility has a term
of three years that expires on May 31, 2003. Interest on the line of credit is
charged at rates that vary based upon a certain financial performance ratio. The
applicable interest rate for 2001 under this agreement was based upon LIBOR plus
..70% to .85%. A fee ranging from .20% to .25% was charged on the unused portion
of the line of credit, and fees ranging between .60% to .71% were charged on
outstanding standby letters of credit. Standby letters of credit are primarily
issued as collateral for self-insured retention reserves for bodily injury,
property damage and workers' compensation claims. Effective May 7, 2001, the
agreement was amended to decrease the line of credit from $50,000,000 to
$20,000,000 for the remainder of the term. At December 31, 2001, there were
$12,260,000 outstanding on the line of credit and $6,781,000 outstanding on the
standby letter of credit facility.
On May 4, 2001, the Company entered into a $65,000,000 Note Purchase and Shelf
Agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"). Under
this agreement, the Company assumed senior notes totaling $50,000,000 issued by
Prudential and its associates, all of which bear an interest rate of 6.93% and a
maturity date of August 10, 2008. The notes call for quarterly interest payments
beginning on August 10, 2001 and 10 semi-annual principal payments of $5,000,000
beginning on February 10, 2004. The proceeds from this agreement were used to
reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's revolving line of credit. The
terms of the agreement allow the Company to authorize the issuance and sale of
amounts not to exceed $15,000,000 in additional senior notes. The applicable
interest rate and payment schedules for any new notes will be determined and
mutually agreed upon at the time of issuance.
With the exception of the Company's line of credit, interest rates are fixed on
all of its debt instruments. Therefore, short-term exposure to fluctuations in
interest rates is limited to the outstanding balance of its line of credit
facility, which was $12,260,000 at December 31, 2001. The Company does not
currently use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to
interest rate changes. Also, the Company is not using fuel hedging instruments
as its tariff provisions generally allow for fuel surcharges to be implemented
in the event that fuel prices exceed stipulated levels.
14
A significant decrease in demand for the Company's services could limit its
ability to generate cash flow and effect profitability. Most of the Company's
debt agreements have covenants that require stated levels of financial
performance, which if not achieved, could cause acceleration of the payment
schedules. The Company does not anticipate a dramatic decline in business levels
or financial performance and believes the combination of its existing credit
facilities along with its additional borrowing capacity are sufficient to meet
seasonal and long-term needs.
Critical Accounting Policies
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company applies the
following critical accounting policies that affect judgements and estimates of
amounts recorded in certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses:
Revenue and Expense Recognition - Operating revenue is recognized on a
percentage of completion method based on average transit time. Expenses
associated with operating revenue are recognized when incurred.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts - The Company maintains an allowance for
uncollectible accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its
customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company's
customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to
make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Claims and Insurance Accruals - The Company is self-insured for bodily injury
and property damage claims up to $250,000 per occurrence. Cargo claims are
self-insured up to $100,000; however, after the first two losses exceed $100,000
in a policy year, the retention under the Company's excess insurance policy is
reduced to $50,000 per occurrence. The Company also is self-insured for workers'
compensation in certain states and has first dollar or high deductible plans in
the other states.
Claims and insurance accruals reflect the estimated ultimate total cost of
claims, including amounts for claims incurred but not reported, for cargo loss
and damage, bodily injury and property damage, workers' compensation, long-term
disability and group health not covered by insurance. These costs are charged to
insurance and claims expense except for workers' compensation, long-term
disability and group health, which are charged to employee benefits expense.
Inflation
Most of the Company's expenses are affected by inflation, which will generally
result in increased costs. In response to the rising cost of petroleum products,
particularly diesel fuel, the Company has implemented a fuel surcharge in its
tariffs and contractual agreements. The fuel surcharge is designed to offset the
cost of fuel above a base price and increases as fuel prices escalate over the
base. For the year ending December 31, 2001, the net effect of inflation on the
Company's results of operations was minimal.
Environmental
The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations, particularly relative to underground storage tanks. The Company
believes it is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations,
including those relating to underground storage tanks, and does not believe that
the cost of future compliance will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations or financial condition.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies
Business
The Company is an interregional and multi-regional motor carrier transporting
primarily less-than-truckload shipments of general commodities, such as consumer
goods, textiles and capital goods, to a diversified customer base. The Company
serves regional markets in the Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, South Central, and
West regions of the country. Old Dominion also serves interregional routes
connecting these geographic regions and major metropolitan markets throughout
most of the continental United States.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are
eliminated in consolidation.
Segments
The Company operates one business segment, within the continental United States,
and has no customer that exceeds 10% of its operating revenue.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue and Expense Recognition
Operating revenue is recognized on a percentage of completion method based on
average transit time. Expenses associated with operating revenue are recognized
when incurred.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts for estimated
losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.
If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate,
resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional
allowances may be required.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of customer receivables. Credit risk is
generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the
Company's customer base and their dispersion across many different industries
and geographic regions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand and deposits in banks along with certificates
of deposit and short-term marketable securities with original maturities of
three months or less as cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the
statements of cash flows.
Tires on Equipment
The cost of tires on equipment is amortized over the estimated tire life of 18
to 24 months.
21
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Major additions and improvements are
capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the
lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Structures 5 to 25 years
Revenue equipment 2 to 12 years
Other equipment 2 to 10 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of 10 years or life of lease
Depreciation expense was $29,163,000, $26,615,000 and $24,842,000 for 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively.
Intangible Assets
The excess cost over net assets acquired in connection with acquisitions is
recorded in "Other Assets". These intangible assets are amortized using a
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 25 years.
Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $1,667,000 and
$1,054,000, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically assesses the realizable value of its long-lived assets
and evaluates such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Claims and Insurance Accruals
The Company is self-insured for bodily injury and property damage claims up to
$250,000 per occurrence. Cargo claims are self-insured up to $100,000; however,
after the first two losses exceed $100,000 in a policy year, the retention under
the Company's excess insurance policy is reduced to $50,000 per occurrence. The
Company also is self-insured for workers' compensation in certain states and has
first dollar or high deductible plans in the other states.
Claims and insurance accruals reflect the estimated ultimate total cost of
claims, including amounts for claims incurred but not reported, for cargo loss
and damage, bodily injury and property damage, workers' compensation, long-term
disability and group health not covered by insurance. These costs are charged to
insurance and claims expense except for workers' compensation, long-term
disability and group health, which are charged to employee benefits expense.
Advertising
The costs of advertising the Company's products are generally expensed as
incurred. Advertising costs charged to expense amounted to $ 1,555,000,
$1,364,000 and $1,153,000 for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. The effect of dilutive employee
stock options in Note 7 is immaterial to the calculation of diluted earnings per
share for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the carrying value of financial instruments such
as cash and cash equivalents, customer and other receivables, trade payables and
long-term debt approximated their fair values. Fair value is determined based on
expected future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates, and other
appropriate valuation methodologies.
22
Stock Based Compensation
Stock based compensation expense for the Company's employee stock option plan is
recognized under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB 25"), and related
interpretations. Consistent with APB 25, the exercise price of the Company's
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant; therefore, no compensation expense is recognized. Pro forma
information regarding net income and earnings per share required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, is not significant.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations ("SFAS No. 141"),
and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS No. 142"). SFAS No. 141
requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations subsequent to June 30, 2001, and specifies criteria for recognizing
intangible assets acquired in a business combination. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible
assets with definite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective
January 1, 2002. During 2002, the Company will perform the first of the required
impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived assets as of January 1, 2002
and has not yet determined what effect, if any, these tests will have on the
earnings and financial condition of the Company.
In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial
Accounting Standard No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS No. 144"). This Statement establishes a single
accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. As
required by SFAS No. 144, the Company will adopt this new accounting standard on
July 1, 2002. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will not have a
material impact on its financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform with the
current period presentation.
Note 2. Long-Term Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following:

==============================
Senior notes consist of five individual debt agreements with interest rates
ranging from 6.35% to 7.59%. The notes call for periodic principal payments with
maturities ranging from 2002 to 2008.
23
On May 31, 2000 the Company entered into a $62,500,000 uncollateralized
committed credit facility consisting of a $50,000,000 line of credit and a
$12,500,000 line to support standby letters of credit. This facility has a term
of three years that expires on May 31, 2003. Interest on the line of credit is
charged at rates that vary based upon a certain financial performance ratio. The
applicable interest rate for 2001 under this agreement was based upon LIBOR plus
..70% to .85%. A fee ranging from .20% to .25% was charged on the unused portion
of the line of credit and fees ranging between .60% to .71% were charged on
outstanding standby letters of credit. Effective May 7, 2001, the agreement was
amended to decrease the line of credit from $50,000,000 to $20,000,000 for the
remainder of the term. At December 31, 2001, there were $12,260,000 outstanding
on the line of credit and $6,781,000 outstanding on the standby letter of credit
facility.
On May 4, 2001, the Company entered into a $65,000,000 Note Purchase and Shelf
Agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential"). Under
this agreement, the Company assumed senior notes totaling $50,000,000 issued by
Prudential and its associates, all of which bear an interest rate of 6.93% and a
maturity date of August 10, 2008. The notes call for quarterly interest payments
beginning on August 10, 2001 and 10 semi-annual principal payments of $5,000,000
beginning on February 10, 2004. The proceeds from this agreement were used to
reduce the outstanding balance on the Company's revolving line of credit. The
terms of the agreement allow the Company to authorize the issuance and sale of
amounts not to exceed $15,000,000 in additional senior notes. The applicable
interest rate and payment schedules for any new notes will be determined and
mutually agreed upon at the time of issuance.
Both the Company's senior notes and credit agreement limit the amount of
dividends that may be paid to stockholders pursuant to certain financial ratios.
At December 31, 2001, the Company's debt instruments limited the amount of
dividends that could be paid to stockholders to $21,627,000. The Company did not
declare or pay a dividend on its common stock in 2001 and has no plans to
declare or pay a dividend in 2002.
Equipment and capitalized lease obligations are collateralized by property and
equipment with a net book value Book value of $1,941,000 at December 31, 2001.

Note 7. Stock Options
In 1991, the Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the 1991 Employee Stock
Option Plan ("Plan") under which 250,000 shares of common stock are reserved for
stock option grants to certain officers and employees. Options granted under the
Plan may be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. The Plan
provides that options may be granted at prices not less than the fair market
value on the date the option is granted, which means the closing price of a
share of common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on such day or
the preceding day if the shares are not traded in the Nasdaq system on the grant
day. On the date the option is granted, the Stock Option Plan Committee of the
Board of Directors determines the period during which the option may be
exercised; however, under the terms of the Plan, the option period cannot extend
more than ten years from the date on which the option is granted. Options may
not be granted under the Plan after August 31, 2001. A summary of the changes in
the number of common shares under option during the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999 follows:

==========
At December 31, 2001 there were 111,500 options exercisable. The weighted
average remaining contractual life of outstanding options is 2.0 years.
Note 8. Acquisitions of Business Assets
On February 10, 2001, the Company purchased selected assets, consisting
primarily of revenue equipment and real estate, from Carter & Sons Freightway,
Inc. of Carrollton, Texas. This acquisition consisted of cash outlays and the
present value of assumed equipment leases totaling $10,055,000.
On January 12, 1999, Old Dominion acquired selected assets of Skyline
Transportation, Inc.'s LTL operations for $1,100,000. This transaction was
funded through cash outlays of $1,050,000 and through assumption of $50,000 in
liabilities.
These acquisitions have been accounted for as purchase transactions and the
results of operations have been included in the Company's financial statements
beginning on the date the acquisitions were consummated. The aggregate pro forma
impact on the Company's revenue from operations, operating income and earnings
per share is not material to the consolidated results of operations.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen
in the ordinary course of its business that have not been fully adjudicated.
Many of these are covered in whole or in part by insurance. These actions, when
finally concluded and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have
an adverse effect upon the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Old Dominion
Freight Line, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the

and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,

Freight Line, Inc. and subsidiary listed in Item 14(a). These financial
statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Old Dominion
Freight Line, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the
