Old Dominioncargo liability: what's actually covered
Like every LTL carrier, Old Dominionincludes only limited cargo liability with a standard shipment — usually far less than the freight is worth. Here's what their public rules tariff provides before any additional coverage:
$5.00/lb
capped at $50,000
$0.10/lb
capped at $10,000
If your freight is worth more than these limits, declare its value when you quote with us and add full-value coverage in one step — or estimate your gap with our freight insurance calculator. Compare all 21 carriers' limits in our LTL liability guide, or learn how coverage works on our insurance & cargo protection page.
Source: ODFL 100-Q Rules Tariff, Items 594, 594-1, 574 (effective 2025-04-14 (Item 594 rev. 11/03/25)). Limits are the carrier's published tariff provisions and can change; actual liability is determined by the tariff and bill of lading terms in effect at shipment.
