    About

    J.B. Hunt Transport Services operates a mode-neutral shipping network from its base in Lowell, Arkansas. The company began on August 10, 1961, when Johnnie Bryan Hunt and his wife Johnelle started with a single truck hauling milk. Over the following decades, the business expanded into one of North America's largest carriers, now serving customers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

    The organization offers a diverse portfolio including Dedicated Contract Services, Intermodal, Over-the-Road Truckload, Final Mile Delivery, and Supply Chain Solutions. This strategy allows J.B. Hunt to optimize freight movement by selecting the most efficient mix of rail, truck, and other modes based on specific customer needs. A significant portion of revenue flows through the intermodal division, which utilizes a vast network of rail partners to move containers efficiently.

    Financial stability remains a priority for the publicly traded entity listed on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol JBHT. Recent filings show BlackRock Inc. acquired a new position in August 2026, while Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management invested $53.13 million during the same period. In July 2026, the company reported U.S. GAAP revenues and net earnings for the second quarter, though stock performance varied against competitors in August.
