J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc.JBHT
Industrials

Moves freight across North America through intermodal rail, dedicated fleets, brokerage and managed logistics, final-mile delivery, and dry-van truckload service. Intermodal is the largest business, combining mostly company-operated pickup and delivery with line-haul capacity supplied by major railroads.

Moves freight across North America through five connected businesses: Intermodal, Dedicated Contract Services, Integrated Capacity Solutions, Final Mile Services, and Truckload. Intermodal combines primarily company-operated pickup and delivery with line-haul service from major railroads, while dedicated contracts provide equipment, drivers, network design, and operations tailored to individual shippers.

Freight brokerage and managed logistics draw on third-party carriers and the J.B. Hunt 360 platform; Final Mile handles big-and-bulky delivery, installation, and fulfillment; Truckload provides dry-van service through the 360box drop-trailer program. The network spans the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Operations depend on freight demand, competitive rates, fuel costs, driver and carrier availability, and railroad service, and are regulated by federal motor-carrier safety rules.
