“Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:ODFL) was another top contributor. The company creates efficiencies by combining goods from multiple shippers that alone would fill “less than a full truckload.” News that a competing trucking company was shutting down operations and filing for bankruptcy was a catalyst for the stock as investors foresaw possible increased demand for Old Dominion’s services. Over the long term, we think Old Dominion’s logistics capabilities will continue to be in high demand.”
