Capacity to Deliver

At a glance: J.B. Hunt’s reliable freight capacity supports supply chains through multimodal transportation options, backed by a team with the expertise and technology to create innovative end-to-end solutions.

Your business depends on a supply chain that moves as efficiently as possible. In a market where reliable freight capacity isn’t always easy to find, you can depend on us to deliver exceptional service, mile after mile. That’s what it means to be Driven for You^TM.

How Do We Deliver Supply Chain Efficiency?

Our mode-neutral model gives us plenty of options to create efficient solutions for your business. Whether you’re looking for the cost savings of intermodal, the convenience of less-than-truckload (LTL), private fleet management or something in between, we have the flexibility to move your freight as efficiently as possible.

Here are just some of the shipping solutions we offer:

• Intermodal: Shipping by train is up to 65% more efficient than over-the-road transport. Our company-owned intermodal fleet is North America’s largest, with options for temperature-controlled and service-sensitive freight.
• Truckload: Get flexibility and capacity for your over-the-road shipments with access to qualified third-party carriers, independent contractors and thousands of company-owned trailers available through our J.B. Hunt 360box^® drop-and-hook solution.
• Less-Than-Truckload (LTL): We give you nationwide reach and hassle-free service with the ability to book shipments in three minutes or less using our J.B. Hunt 360^°® technology.
• Dedicated Contract Services®: Let us manage or convert your private fleet so you can focus your time, energy and resources on growing your core business.
• Final Mile Services®: We cover your supply chain from dock to door, with options for product assembly, installation and white-glove service.
• International: We offer comprehensive freight solutions in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, including multiple points of entry, direct drayage, transloading and warehousing.
• Managed Logistics: Simplify and streamline your transportation network with our end-to-end supply chain management service. 
• Brokerage: Get extra capacity through qualified third-party carriers with support for specialized services including hazmat, temperature-controlled, flatbed and more.

Combining Capacity and Creativity

There’s more to our capacity than how we move your shipments. Our people are an incredible resource, using technology, industry expertise and our multimodal shipping services to help you solve your supply chain challenges.

• Need to move fast? We can do that. When an unexpected shutdown at a customer’s processing plant created an urgent need for live haul support, we assembled a pop-up fleet within 72 hours. Our fleet ran for eight weeks with a 100% on-time rate.
• Need to go big? We can do that, too. When a fast-growing door manufacturer needed a transportation provider who could grow with them, we created an end-to-end supply chain solution that included a dedicated fleet, flexible freight capacity for seasonal support and LTL services to deliver to their end customers.
• Need something you’re not sure we provide? Just ask! Our teams have worked with customers to find creative solutions to potential obstacles. For example, the team at our Laredo facility has helped make cross-border shipping easier by repairing or rebranding products before they ship out to end customers.
• Have a complex project that requires special handling? We’ll provide the care and attention your shipment needs, just like we did for a customer’s pre-assembled promotional displays. We sourced reliable LTL capacity for their quick-turn projects, coordinating pickup and delivery with constant communication to give our customer peace of mind.

Investing in Innovation and Technology

Innovation and long-term thinking have been part of our business since the beginning. Our founder, Johnnie Bryan Hunt, envisioned a multimodal freight network running smoothly from coast to coast, and as a result, the first J.B. Hunt Intermodal load left Chicago in 1990. Since that day, your feedback has helped us grow a network known for its reliable capacity and proven intermodal performance.

Our mode-neutral mindset extends to the J.B. Hunt 360^°® platform. When you book a shipment, you can select cost-effective intermodal service as well as traditional over-the-road options. Our technology puts extra capacity within your reach, with access to company-owned assets and qualified third-party carriers.

Our Capacity Can Help You Grow

We’ve invested in our people and technology, growing and innovating so we can deliver the reliable capacity you need to keep your business moving. Whether we’re scaling up to support a seasonal surge or creating an end-to-end supply chain solution, we are always driven for you.
