NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends; therefore, the results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for subsequent quarterly periods or the year ending December 31, 2014.

The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

There have been no significant changes in the accounting principles and policies, long-term contracts or estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed financial statements of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to “Old Dominion,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, customer and other receivables, trade payables and current maturities of long-term debt, approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.  The carrying value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was $180.7 million and $191.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt was $186.0 million and $196.5 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our long-term debt primarily consists of our senior notes for which fair value is estimated using market interest rates for similar issuances of private debt.  Since this methodology is based upon indicative market interest rates, the measurement is categorized as Level 2 under the three-level fair value hierarchy as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Note 2. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Senior notes	$	180,714		$	191,429

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

We have three outstanding unsecured senior note agreements with an aggregate amount outstanding of $180.7 million and $191.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These notes call for periodic principal payments with maturities that range from 2015 to 2021, of which $35.7 million is due in the next twelve months. Interest rates on these notes are fixed and range from 4.00% to 5.85%. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding senior note agreements was 5.00% and 4.99% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

We have a five-year, $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility pursuant to the terms of a second amended and restated credit agreement dated August 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) serving as administrative agent for the lenders. Of the $200.0 million line of credit commitments, $150.0 million may be used for letters of credit and $20.0 million may be used for borrowings under the Wells Fargo Sweep Plus Loan Program. We utilize the sweep program to manage our daily cash needs, as the sweep program automatically initiates borrowings to cover overnight cash requirements up to an aggregate of $20.0 million. In addition, we have the right to request an increase in the line of credit commitments up to a total of $300.0 million in minimum increments of $25.0 million. At our option, revolving loans under the facility bear interest at either: (a) the Applicable Margin Percentage for Base Rate Loans plus the higher of Wells Fargo’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum, or the one month LIBOR Rate plus 1.0% per annum; (b) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin Percentage for LIBOR Loans; or (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate (“LIBOR Index Rate”) plus the Applicable Margin Percentage for LIBOR Market Index Loans. The Applicable Margin Percentage is determined by a pricing grid in the Credit Agreement and ranges from 1.0% to 1.875% based upon the ratio of debt to total capitalization. The Applicable Margin Percentage was 1.0% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Revolving loans under the sweep program bear interest at the LIBOR Index Rate.

There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 under the revolving credit facility. There were $59.7 million and $57.7 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note 3. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate generally exceeds the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of state taxes, and, to a lesser extent, certain other non-deductible items.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our effective tax rate was 40.6% as compared to 36.1% for the same period in 2013. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the expiration of favorable tax credits for the use of alternative fuels provided by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 enacted in the first quarter of 2013 and other discrete tax adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business that have not been fully adjudicated, and some of these are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Our management does not believe that these actions, when finally concluded and determined, will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are a leading, less-than-truckload (“LTL”), union-free motor carrier providing regional, inter-regional and national LTL services and other logistics services from a single integrated organization. In addition to our core LTL services, we offer a broad range of value-added services including international freight forwarding, ground and air expedited transportation, container delivery, truckload brokerage, supply chain consulting, warehousing and consumer household pickup and delivery. More than 95% of our revenue has historically been derived from transporting LTL shipments for our customers, whose demand for our services is generally tied to industrial production and the overall health of the U.S. domestic economy.

In analyzing the components of our revenue, we monitor changes and trends in our LTL services using the following key metrics, which exclude certain transportation and logistics services where pricing is generally not determined by weight:

• LTL Revenue Per Hundredweight - This measurement reflects the application of our pricing policies to the services we provide, which are influenced by competitive market conditions and our growth objectives. Generally, freight is rated by a class system, which is established by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. Light, bulky freight typically has a higher class and is priced at higher revenue per hundredweight than dense, heavy freight. Fuel surcharges, accessorial charges, revenue adjustments and revenue for undelivered freight are included in this measurement. Revenue for undelivered freight is deferred for financial statement purposes in accordance with our revenue recognition policy; however, we believe including it in our revenue per hundredweight metrics results in a better indicator of changes in our yields by matching total billed revenue with the corresponding weight of those shipments.

Revenue per hundredweight is a commonly-used indicator of pricing trends, but this metric can be influenced by many other factors, such as changes in fuel surcharges, weight per shipment, length of haul and the class, or mix, of our freight. As a result, changes in revenue per hundredweight do not necessarily indicate actual changes in underlying base rates.

• LTL Weight Per Shipment - Fluctuations in weight per shipment can indicate changes in the mix of freight we receive from our customers, as well as changes in the number of units included in a shipment. Generally, increases in weight per shipment indicate higher demand for our customers' products and overall increased economic activity. Changes in weight per shipment generally have an inverse effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as an increase in weight per shipment will typically cause a decrease in revenue per hundredweight.

• Average Length of Haul - We consider lengths of haul less than 500 miles to be regional traffic, lengths of haul between 500 miles and 1,000 miles to be inter-regional traffic, and lengths of haul in excess of 1,000 miles to be national traffic. This metric is used to analyze our tonnage and pricing trends for shipments with similar characteristics, and also allows comparison with other transportation providers serving specific markets. By analyzing this metric, we can determine the success and growth potential of our service products in these markets. Changes in length of haul generally have a direct effect on our revenue per hundredweight, as an increase in length of haul will typically cause an increase in revenue per hundredweight.

Our primary revenue focus is to increase “density,” which is shipment and tonnage growth within our existing infrastructure that is measured by our revenue per service center. Increases in density allow us to maximize our asset utilization and labor productivity, which we measure over many different functional areas of our operations including linehaul load factor, pickup and delivery (“P&D”) stops per hour, P&D shipments per hour, platform pounds handled per hour and platform shipments per hour. In addition to our focus on density and operating efficiencies, it is critical for us to obtain an appropriate yield on the shipments we handle. We manage our yields by focusing on individual account profitability. We believe yield management and improvements in efficiency are key components in our ability to produce profitable growth.

7

Our primary cost elements are direct wages and benefits associated with the movement of freight; fuel and equipment repair expenses; and depreciation of our equipment fleet and service center facilities. We gauge our overall success in managing costs by monitoring our operating ratio, a measure of profitability calculated by dividing total operating expenses by revenue, which also allows industry-wide comparisons with our competition.

We continually upgrade our technological capabilities to improve our customer service and lower our operating costs. Our technology provides our customers with visibility of their shipments throughout our network, increases the productivity of our workforce and provides key metrics that we use to monitor and enhance our processes.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, expenses and other items as a percentage of revenue from operations:

LTL revenue per shipment	$	292.95		$	283.22		3.4	%
Average length of haul (miles)	929			935			(0.6	)%

Our revenue grew 15.2% over the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to increased market share, despite the negative impact of the harsh winter weather conditions and more restrictive hours of service regulations during the quarter. We believe our value proposition of on-time, claims-free service at a fair and equitable price continues to drive our success. In addition to increasing our market share, we also maintained our focus on yield management and freight density, which contributed to the 70 basis-point improvement in our operating ratio. As a result, net income increased 13.2% to $45.9 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Revenue

Revenue increased $81.9 million, or 15.2%, over the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to increases in both tonnage and price. LTL tonnage increased 13.9% over the first quarter 2013 primarily due to an 11.9% increase in shipments and a 1.8% increase in weight per shipment. We believe our tonnage growth for the first quarter of 2014 was primarily due to increased market share as our growth exceeded reported industry averages.

LTL revenue per hundredweight for the first quarter of 2014 was $18.00, a 1.6% increase over the prior-year quarter, which reflects the commitment to our disciplined yield management process and a relatively stable pricing environment for the LTL industry. While we believe that revenue per hundredweight is a good indicator of pricing trends, we manage our yield on an individual customer basis as changes in factors such as fuel surcharges, weight per shipment, length of haul and mix of freight can influence this metric. We believe our focus on obtaining an appropriate yield is necessary to offset rising operating costs and also allows us to invest in opportunities that can improve the quality of our service and provide capacity for future growth.

Our fuel surcharges are designed to offset fluctuations in the cost of petroleum-based products and are one of the many components included in the overall negotiated price we charge for our services. Fuel surcharge revenue decreased to 16.2% of our revenue in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 16.6% for the comparable period of 2013 due to the decrease in the average price per gallon of diesel fuel. Most of our tariffs and contracts provide for a fuel surcharge that is generally indexed to the U. S. Department of Energy's published diesel fuel prices that reset each week. Therefore, fluctuations in fuel surcharges between the periods are primarily the result of changes in the underlying price of diesel fuel.

Operating Costs and Other Expenses

Salaries, wages and benefits for the first quarter of 2014 increased $40.4 million, or 14.9%, over the prior-year comparable quarter due to a $30.2 million increase in the costs attributable to salaries and wages and a $10.2 million increase in benefit costs. The overall increase in salary and wages is primarily due to a 9.7% increase in the average number of full-time employees over the prior-year quarter to support the 13.9% increase in our LTL tonnage over the same comparable period. Our direct labor costs related to drivers, platform employees and fleet technicians increased $22.3 million, or 15.5% over the first quarter of 2013. Our productivity metrics were affected by both the severe winter weather and the cost to train our new employees. P&D shipments per hour and P&D stops per hour were down 0.5% and 1.3%, respectively.  Platform pounds per hour and platform shipments per hour were down 4.0% and 5.0%, respectively. However, our our overall salary and wages remained consistent as a percent of revenue at 37.4% between the periods compared.

The 14.7% increase in our benefit costs over the first quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a $4.5 million, or 18.5%, increase in our group health and group dental costs. We experienced increases in both the average cost of each claim and the number of claims filed between the comparable periods. A portion of the increase in these costs was attributable to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and, therefore, we may experience similar cost increases in future periods. In addition, we enhanced our vacation policy for employees in the third quarter of 2013, which, combined with the increase in headcount, led to a comparable-quarter increase of $2.4 million in our employee paid time off benefits.

Operating supplies and expenses increased $10.6 million, or 11.1% over the first quarter of 2013. Diesel fuel, excluding fuel taxes, represents the largest component of operating supplies and expenses, and its cost can vary based on both consumption and average price per gallon. Our LTL intercity miles increased 11.8% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to 2013, while our diesel fuel consumption increased only 8.4% during that same period. Our consumption trends continued to improve primarily due to certain operational initiatives to increase our average miles per gallon and the increased use of new fuel-efficient equipment. We also experienced a 1.2% decrease in our average price per gallon from the first quarter of 2013. As a result, fuel costs increased $4.4 million, or 6.6%, over the prior-year comparable quarter, which compares favorably with the increases in our revenue, tonnage and mileage for these periods. Additionally, the severe winter weather we experienced in 2014 contributed to an increase in vehicle repairs and weather-related expenses such as snow removal and vehicle recovery.

Depreciation and amortization expense remained at 5.5% of revenue in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013; however, expense increased $4.3 million over the first quarter of 2013. The increase in expense was primarily due to additional depreciation recorded on the tractors and trailers purchased as part of our 2013 and 2014 capital expenditure plans. Our capital expenditure plan for 2014 is projected to be higher than 2013, and we expect depreciation costs to increase in future periods as a result. While our investments can increase costs in the short term, we believe these investments are necessary to support our current demand and long-term growth initiatives.

Purchased transportation expense increased $5.8 million, or 24.8% in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. Our purchased transportation expense is primarily related to our use of third-party transportation providers to support our container drayage, truckload brokerage and international freight forwarding operations. Growth in these services has resulted in an increase in our purchased transportation costs for 2014. To a lesser extent, we utilize purchased transportation in our LTL operations, consisting primarily of rail and truckload providers, to maximize the efficient movement of freight between our service centers.

Miscellaneous expenses, net, increased $2.5 million over the first quarter of 2013. A portion of this increase was due to additional bad debt expense that resulted from the overall growth in our revenue and accounts receivable balances.

Our effective tax rate generally exceeds the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of state taxes, and, to a lesser extent, certain other non-deductible items.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our effective tax rate was 40.6% as compared to 36.1% for the same period in 2013. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the expiration of favorable tax credits for the use of alternative fuels provided by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 enacted in the first quarter of 2013 and other discrete tax adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

A summary of our cash flows is presented below:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
(In thousands)	2014			2013
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period	$	30,174		$	12,857
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	99,568			63,534
Investing activities	(77,783		)	(26,134		)
Financing activities	(10,715		)	(21,074		)
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	11,070			16,326
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	41,244		$	29,183

The change in our cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to various fluctuations in certain working capital accounts and the increase of $5.3 million in net income from the first quarter of 2013. In addition, depreciation and amortization expenses increased $4.3 million as compared to the first quarter of 2013 due to the ongoing execution of our 2013 and 2014 capital expenditure plans.

The changes in our cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to fluctuations in our capital expenditure plans as well as the timing of these expenditures during the year. The changes in our capital expenditure plans are more fully described below in “Capital Expenditures.”

The change in our cash flows used in financing activities consists primarily of scheduled principal payments under our long-term debt agreements and fluctuations in our senior unsecured revolving line of credit.

We have three primary sources of available liquidity: cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations and available borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit agreement, which is described below. We believe we also have sufficient access to debt and equity markets to provide other sources of liquidity, if needed.

Capital Expenditures

The table below sets forth our capital expenditures for property and equipment, including capital assets obtained through capital leases, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2014 and the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

	March 31,			December 31,
(In thousands)	2014			2013			2012			2011
Land and structures	$	21,862		$	126,424		$	143,701		$	73,463
Tractors	12,332			59,317			113,257			69,837
Trailers	22,415			70,042			83,405			62,326
Technology	17,736			15,032			13,950			24,767
Other	5,473			31,391			19,974			28,945
Proceeds from sales	(2,035		)	(11,235		)	(12,018		)	(5,436		)
Total	$	77,783		$	290,971		$	362,269		$	253,902

Our capital expenditure requirements are generally based upon the projected increase in the number and size of our service center facilities to support our plans for long-term growth, our planned tractor and trailer replacement cycle and forecasted tonnage growth. These requirements can vary from year to year depending upon our needs for and the availability of property and equipment.

We currently estimate capital expenditures will be approximately $367.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2014. Approximately $132.0 million is allocated for the purchase of service center facilities, construction of new

11

service center facilities or expansion of existing service center facilities, subject to the availability of suitable real estate and the timing of construction projects; approximately $188.0 million is allocated for the purchase of tractors, trailers and other equipment; and approximately $47.0 million is allocated for investments in technology and other assets. We expect to fund these capital expenditures primarily through cash flows from operations, our existing cash and cash equivalents and the use of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, if needed. We believe our current sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our expected capital expenditures.

Financing Agreements

We have three outstanding unsecured senior note agreements with an aggregate amount outstanding of $180.7 million and $191.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These notes call for periodic principal payments with maturities that range from 2015 to 2021, of which $35.7 million is due in the next twelve months. Interest rates on these notes are fixed and range from 4.00% to 5.85%. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding senior note agreements was 5.00% and 4.99% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

We have a five-year, $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility pursuant to the terms of a second amended and restated credit agreement dated August 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) serving as administrative agent for the lenders. Of the $200.0 million line of credit commitments, $150.0 million may be used for letters of credit and $20.0 million may be used for borrowings under the Wells Fargo Sweep Plus Loan Program. We utilize the sweep program to manage our daily cash needs, as the sweep program automatically initiates borrowings to cover overnight cash requirements up to an aggregate of $20.0 million. In addition, we have the right to request an increase in the line of credit commitments up to a total of $300.0 million in minimum increments of $25.0 million.

The amounts outstanding and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement are presented below:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Facility limit	$	200,000		$	200,000
Line of credit borrowings	—			—
Outstanding letters of credit	(59,686		)	(57,686		)
Available borrowing capacity	$	140,314		$	142,314

With the exception of borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement, interest rates are fixed on all of our debt instruments. Therefore, short-term exposure to fluctuations in interest rates is limited to our line of credit facility. We do not currently use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes.

Our Credit Agreement limits the amount of dividends that could be paid to shareholders during a fiscal year to the greater of (i) $20.0 million; (ii) the amount of dividends paid in the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (iii) an amount equal to 25% of net income from the immediately preceding fiscal year. We did not declare or pay a dividend on our common stock in the first three months of 2014, and we have no current plans to declare or pay a dividend during the remainder of 2014.

A significant decrease in demand for our services could limit our ability to generate cash flow and could affect profitability. Most of our debt agreements have covenants that require stated levels of financial performance, which if not achieved could cause acceleration of the payment schedules. As of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants. We do not anticipate a significant decline in business levels or financial performance that would cause us to violate any such covenants in the future, and we believe the combination of our existing Credit Agreement along with our additional borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet foreseeable seasonal and long-term capital needs.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our condensed financial statements, we applied the same critical accounting policies as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 that affect judgments and estimates of amounts recorded for certain assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses.

12

Seasonality

Our tonnage levels and revenue mix are subject to seasonal trends common in the motor carrier industry, although other factors, such as changes in the economy, could cause variation in these trends. Operating margins in the first quarter are normally lower due to reduced shipments during the winter months. Harsh winter weather or natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornados and floods, can also adversely impact our performance by reducing demand and increasing operating expenses. Freight volumes typically build to a peak in the third or early fourth quarter, which generally results in improved operating margins for those periods. We believe seasonal trends will continue to impact our business.

Environmental Regulation

We are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations that govern, among other things: the emission and discharge of hazardous materials into the environment; the presence of hazardous materials at our properties or in our vehicles; fuel storage tanks; the transportation of certain materials; and the discharge or retention of storm water. Under certain environmental laws, we could also be held responsible for any costs relating to contamination at our past or present facilities and at third-party waste disposal sites, as well as costs associated with clean-up for accidents involving our vehicles. We do not believe that the cost of future compliance with current environmental laws or regulations will have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial condition, competitive position or capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year 2014 or fiscal year 2015. However, future changes to laws or regulations may adversely affect our operations and could result in unforeseen costs to our business.

Our forward-looking statements are based upon our beliefs and assumptions using information available at the time the statements are made. We caution the reader not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements (i) as these statements are neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances and (ii) the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and projections about future events may differ materially from actual results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect developments occurring after the statement is made, except as otherwise required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations and cash flows due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates.

We are exposed to interest rate risk directly related to loans, if any, under our Credit Agreement, which have variable interest rates. A 100 basis point increase in the average interest rate on this agreement would have no material effect on our operating results. We have established policies and procedures to manage exposure to market risks and use major institutions that we believe are creditworthy to minimize credit risk.

We are exposed to market risk for equity investments relating to Company-owned life insurance contracts on certain employees. Variable life insurance contracts expose us to fluctuations in equity markets; however, we utilize a third-party to manage these assets and minimize that exposure.

We are exposed to market risk for awards granted under our employee and director phantom stock plans. The liability for the unsettled outstanding awards is remeasured at the end of each reporting period based on the closing price of our common stock at that date.

We are also exposed to commodity price risk related to petroleum-based products, including diesel fuel, and manage our exposure to this risk primarily through the application of fuel surcharges.

For further discussion related to market risk, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 2 of this report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure

14

controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business that have not been fully adjudicated, and some of these are covered in whole or in part by insurance. Our management does not believe that these actions, when finally concluded and determined, will have a material adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report and in our other reports and statements that we file with the SEC, including our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, careful consideration should be given to the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Note 3. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate generally exceeds the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of state taxes, and, to a lesser extent, certain other non-deductible items.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our effective tax rate was 40.6% as compared to 36.1% for the same period in 2013. The increase in our effective tax rate was due to the expiration of favorable tax credits for the use of alternative fuels provided by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 enacted in the first quarter of 2013 and other discrete tax adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited, interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and, in management’s opinion, contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) necessary for a fair presentation, in all material respects, of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

The preparation of condensed financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our operating results are subject to seasonal trends; therefore, the results of operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for subsequent quarterly periods or the year ending December 31, 2014.

The condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, which appear in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

There have been no significant changes in the accounting principles and policies, long-term contracts or estimates inherent in the preparation of the condensed financial statements of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. as previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in these Notes to “Old Dominion,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments included in current assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, customer and other receivables, trade payables and current maturities of long-term debt, approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.  The carrying value of our total long-term debt, including current maturities, was $180.7 million and $191.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of our total long-term debt was $186.0 million and $196.5 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our long-term debt primarily consists of our senior notes for which fair value is estimated using market interest rates for similar issuances of private debt.  Since this methodology is based upon indicative market interest rates, the measurement is categorized as Level 2 under the three-level fair value hierarchy as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”).

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Long-Term Debt

Note 2. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

(In thousands)	March 31, 2014			December 31, 2013
Senior notes	$	180,714		$	191,429
Less: Current maturities	(35,714		)	(35,715		)
Total maturities due after one year	$	145,000		$	155,714

We have three outstanding unsecured senior note agreements with an aggregate amount outstanding of $180.7 million and $191.4 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These notes call for periodic principal payments with maturities that range from 2015 to 2021, of which $35.7 million is due in the next twelve months. Interest rates on these notes are fixed and range from 4.00% to 5.85%. The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding senior note agreements was 5.00% and 4.99% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

We have a five-year, $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility pursuant to the terms of a second amended and restated credit agreement dated August 10, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) serving as administrative agent for the lenders. Of the $200.0 million line of credit commitments, $150.0 million may be used for letters of credit and $20.0 million may be used for borrowings under the Wells Fargo Sweep Plus Loan Program. We utilize the sweep program to manage our daily cash needs, as the sweep program automatically initiates borrowings to cover overnight cash requirements up to an aggregate of $20.0 million. In addition, we have the right to request an increase in the line of credit commitments up to a total of $300.0 million in minimum increments of $25.0 million. At our option, revolving loans under the facility bear interest at either: (a) the Applicable Margin Percentage for Base Rate Loans plus the higher of Wells Fargo’s prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5% per annum, or the one month LIBOR Rate plus 1.0% per annum; (b) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin Percentage for LIBOR Loans; or (c) the LIBOR Market Index Rate (“LIBOR Index Rate”) plus the Applicable Margin Percentage for LIBOR Market Index Loans. The Applicable Margin Percentage is determined by a pricing grid in the Credit Agreement and ranges from 1.0% to 1.875% based upon the ratio of debt to total capitalization. The Applicable Margin Percentage was 1.0% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Revolving loans under the sweep program bear interest at the LIBOR Index Rate.

There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 under the revolving credit facility. There were $59.7 million and $57.7 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
