OD Global : Global Assembly and Distribution

Global Assembly via Ocean Vessel

Old Dominion can provide assembly of your product to meet your global needs. Just request that your vendors ship your LTL shipments to an ODFL facility serving the designated port city of exit. OD will cross dock the LTL shipments onto an ocean container unit for the steamship line of your choice. Once the container is full and the load is complete, it is manifested to the designation of choice. ODFL then provides the container drayage service to the port. Should distribution be needed at the destination, ODFL will work with the WCL partner. OD can provide you with OS&D information as well as timely track and trace capabilities.
