Looking Ahead to 2026

Marty Freeman, CEO

|
As we near the close of another year, I want to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks for your continued business and partnership. We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in our people and our services, and we never take your decision to work with us for granted.
This past year brought a challenging macroeconomic environment that tested industries worldwide. In the face of these headwinds, your collaboration was essential. Together, we navigated the complexities and continued to make meaningful progress. We focused on what we can control: delivering reliable, on-time service and investing in the technology and infrastructure needed to support your supply chain. Our commitment to operational excellence allowed us to enhance our service capabilities, ensuring we were there for you when it mattered most. Your resilience and our shared focus on performance were crucial to our collective success.
Looking ahead to the new year, we are optimistic about the economic landscape. We are encouraged by the potential for progress in tariff negotiations, the prospect of lower interest rates, and the steadying of inflation. These shifts are key to rebuilding consumer confidence and fostering a more dynamic environment for growth. As we move forward, our dedication to providing you with superior service and innovative solutions remains our guiding principle.
We are confident that these positive trends will create a strong foundation for a fantastic 2026. Thank you again for your invaluable partnership. We look forward to building on our shared success and achieving new goals with you in the year to come.

December Photo of the Month: Capturing the Rockies

Our December photo of the month was submitted by Nick Shore, a line haul supervisor from our Salt Lake City service center. Nick captured this stunning shot of the Rocky Mountains that overlook our facility. With 13 years at OD, including 11 in his current role, Nick’s dedication to the OD Family shines. A devoted dad and adventurous spirit, he loves fishing, family time, and has a knack for making friends wherever he goes.
