Description: JBHT JB Hunt Transport January 03, 2026

J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) is a diversified U.S. logistics firm operating five core segments: Intermodal (JBI), Dedicated Contract Services (DCS), Integrated Capacity Solutions (ICS), Final Mile Services (FMS), and Truckload (JBT). The company owns extensive equipment fleets-including over 122 k trailing units, more than 103 k chassis, and roughly 6 k tractors-while also leveraging independent contractors and customer-owned assets to scale capacity.

In FY 2023 JBHT generated roughly $12.5 billion in revenue and posted an operating ratio near 90%, a key efficiency benchmark for the truckload and intermodal markets. The firm benefits from macro-drivers such as sustained e-commerce growth (which fuels demand for final-mile deliveries) and a tight U.S. driver labor market that supports higher freight rates but also pressures capacity utilization.

Recent operational highlights include a 7% year-over-year increase in intermodal volume, driven by higher rail-to-truck connectivity, and a 4% rise in dedicated contract services revenue as shippers outsource more of their supply-chain management. Fuel price volatility remains a material risk, with JBHT employing hedging and fuel-efficiency initiatives to mitigate cost swings.
