1. Old Dominion Freight Line Inc.

Starting almost 90 years ago, since 1934, Old Dominion Freight Line has been one of the top trucking companies in Wyoming.

Ok, perhaps they didn’t start on the top but they have developed a great company in the years since their founding.

At Old Dominion Freight Line, they always keep you, the customer, as their top priority.

It was in the midst of the Great Depression and with only one truck making a 94 mile trek that they got their start in the trucking business. Later during World War II Old Dominion really began to expand.

Starting out from this humble beginning they are now a global transportation company with almost 20,000 employees! That is surely an accomplishment to be proud of.

This sense of pride reflects in all the services that Old Dominion provides. Through the years they have expanded and bought into several other operations allowing their presence to grow.
