Our Company Values Define Who We Are

At a glance: Our company values of integrity, respect, innovation, safety and excellence shape the way we serve customers, support our people and deliver innovative transportation solutions.

Every day, your values define the way you grow your business and who you trust to support it. As an organization, we share the values passed down from Mr. and Mrs. Hunt. With their example guiding us, we’re on a mission to think big and come up with innovative solutions that deliver excellence, mile after mile. That’s what it means to be Driven for You™. 

How Do J.B. Hunt’s Values Drive Company Culture?

The five values below are the standards we hold ourselves to, inspiring us to perform at our best for you and each other every day.

Integrity

As a company, we’re always working to do the right thing. Our culture of integrity means we do what we say we are going to do. That means honoring our commitments to our customers and each other.

We’re proud that our integrity is something worth sharing. At age six, Logan joined his grandfather, a J.B. Hunt customer, on a tour of our headquarters. He never forgot the way his grandfather praised the company and our founder. Now a business analyst, Logan is part of the J.B. Hunt team, helping to deliver the same exceptional service that impressed his grandfather.

Respect

We believe everyone has something valuable to contribute. That’s why we strive to create a company culture where all employees feel welcomed, valued, respected, safe and heard.

When people can bring their full selves to work, they often build stronger connections to their roles. For example, as a driver compensation analyst, Dat builds tools that help drivers understand how they’re paid. His dedication shines through because of his lived experience. 

Innovation

As an organization, we strive to do things that have never been done before. But every innovation in logistics and supply chain management started with a single goal: to create long-term value for our customers and our people.

Kate, a logistics engineer, did just that when she recognized that even automated processes can be improved. She helped our Customer Engineering Team speed up a process that required 1-2 weeks to create custom deliverables. Now, they complete it over the phone with the customer in just 30 minutes. By improving our process, Kate empowered the team to devote more time and resources to our customers.

Safety

As a people-first company, we have a responsibility to look out for our drivers and the motoring public at large. We take that responsibility seriously and put our safety culture at the heart of everything we do.

After breaking safety performance records for three consecutive years, we’re proud of everyone who helped achieve this milestone. It wouldn’t be possible without the commitment of our company drivers and the support of technicians like Jacob. First as a trainee and now as a supervisor, he reminds us why we put safety first: each other.

Excellence

Every year, we celebrate excellence at our Million Mile event. Company drivers with two, three, four and five million safe miles make their way down our Walk of Fame, accompanied by their loved ones as our people cheer them on to celebrate.

Safe driving is a hallmark of every Million Mile driver, but their commitment shows what it takes to achieve operational excellence outside the cab, too. They’re the face and voice of our brand as they arrive safely at their destination with a smile and a friendly word for the customer. We’re proud of the way they consistently represent our company values and deliver exceptional service.
