6 th largest LTL (Less than truckload) -Founded Service Centers – 11,000 FT Employees –OD Domestic - Multi-regional, inter-regional, 48 state coverage –OD Global – 48 states to/from the world 5,800 power units – 388 million miles – 64 million gallons of fuel 21, ’pup trailers over the road Sustainability/Green trucking are obviously key focal points

Smartway certified Aerodynamics since 1971 Most efficient engines & equipment available LRR Tires and automatic tire pressure systems Driver training – Fuel Efficient driving techniques Peoplenet Onboard system – Driver metrics, route optimization, E-Logs Maximize cube utilization - Load bars, bags, straps Load & route optimization software – 15 yrs. Triple 28’ trailers where allowed (more later)

We are utilizing every proven means available to us as a fleet operator Professionally managed LTL and large T/L fleets are too Increasing vehicle productivity by allowing for increased size and weight is the only meaningful lever left to pull !!

Growing U.S. population – 2.6 million per year driving more consumer demand Inevitable we will have more cars, trucks, congestion if nothing changes Nothing?? – Unacceptable – last 20 years Add highway capacity with focus on bottlenecks – expensive & time consuming but has to be done Improve productivity of ALL existing modes !

“Shift more freight to rail” – Common theme Shippers, consignees, consumers –Want everything now! We’re in a hurry! –Shippers consider total supply chain cost – 1 st and last mile $$, rail intermodal$$, inventory carrying $$, etc. vs. door to door LTL or TL –In many cases intermodal works – not THE answer. Great idea and we endorse ! – But will this realistically solve the problem ? MORE PRODUCTIVE TRUCKS will get trucks off the highway !!

LTL Customers demand tight door to door transit times –Next day up to 600 miles –Second day up to 1,400 miles –Third day up to 2100 miles –4 th & 5 th – beyond 2,100 miles For OD, we have found rail intermodal works only in long haul, head haul lanes, over weekends, end of the month/quarter surges Trucks are the only answer for “first and last mile”

28’trailers are most efficient in LTL network from cost and transit time standpoint OD utilizes100% 28’trailers in line haul –Doubles everywhere (97% of line haul miles) –Triples where allowed in western states –Very typical of LTL industry In LTL environment we cube out trailers before weigh out. ODFL total GCW averages 64,000 lbs Triples avg 90,340 GCW spread over 32 more ft WE’VE GONE AS FAR AS WE CAN GO AND NEED THE EXPANDED USE OF TRIPLES !!

The Problem I.S.T.E.A froze states from allowing more productive vehicles – 20 years ago!!! Times have changed!! – Nation’s needs have changes It’s time to free up that legislative bottleneck ! The Solution Lifting the freeze, allowing more use of triples provides proven and significant benefits ! Benefits are IMMEDIATE, SAFE, and require negligible cost or capital investment.

Reduced trucks & congestion OD’s experience - D.O.T. accident ratio is 13% better on mileage and 20% on tonnage Fuel consumption - Ton mpg improves 20 – 25% Reduce Carbon & GHG emissions No impact on highway infrastructure Negligible capital or operating costs increase Shippers / Consumers will benefit Productivity improvement and benefits are IMMEDIATE !!

Now I want to prove it ! ODFL only, just 1 month

One month – July 2010 at ODFL Just these 10 selected routes would save 2.84 million miles ONE MONTH - 10% of total miles Annualized 5,672,700 gallons of diesel !! 62,967 tons of carbon per year !! 9.6 % fewer trucks on the road – 4,825 per month JUST 1 FLEET, 10 routes, one slow month WHAT IF all interstates and all LTL carriers???

Recognize that allowing more productive trucks is a big part of the answer to our nation’s current and future freight transportation problems Recognize that this solution is IMMEDIATE, SAFE, and will provide economic benefits to shippers and consumers Help us dispel unfounded perceptions and change legislation to allow MORE PRODUCTIVE TRUCKS !!
