Technology That Empowers

| 5 MIN READ

At a glance: From freight matching to real-time visibility and safety tools, J.B. Hunt 360°® technology empowers customers, drivers and carriers to work more efficiently through every stage of the freight journey.

For more than 65 years, we’ve helped keep our customers’ supply chains moving and built a reputation for dependable service. Our success has been driven by the strength of our people, technology and capacity – foundations that have helped us adapt to an evolving transportation industry and the changing needs of our customers.

Our technology has been a big part of that journey because our founder knew the future of freight would depend on it.

In the early 1980s, Mr. Hunt invested in a mainframe processor and predicted that one day all freight would go through a J.B. Hunt computer. His intuition sparked a culture of innovation at J.B. Hunt, helping us grow from a trucking company to a leader in digital freight-matching technology.

Keep reading to see how our J.B. Hunt 360°® platform helps us better serve our customers, streamlines load management for carriers and drivers and improves day-to-day efficiency.

See what our technology can do for your supply chain.

The J.B. Hunt 360° Platform

After decades of doing business, we were all too familiar with how fragmented the freight market could be. When data is created and stored on countless carrier TMS and ERP systems around the world – with little to no communication between systems – tracking down the information you need can be a challenge.

We knew there was a better, more efficient way to do things. We set out to pioneer an industry-leading digital freight matching solution to:

  • Connect shippers with nationwide capacity at the right price and at the right time
  • Make it easier for carriers to find and book their next load
  • Streamline load management from quote through delivery
  • Improve freight visibility and efficiency through real-time data and automated workflows

And so, the J.B. Hunt 360° platform was born. Through our digital freight marketplace and connected technology ecosystem, we help bring supply, demand and real-time information together in one place.

The J.B. Hunt platform is made up of two components, available for free on desktop and mobile: J.B. Hunt 360° technology and Carrier 360® technology.

Shipper Technology

J.B. Hunt 360° technology is designed to simplify the entire shipping process for our customers. From the first quote to shipment tracking, everything you need is in a single platform, including:

  • End-to-end visibility from quote to delivery
  • Customizable dashboards, KPI reporting and data visualization for a clearer view of supply chain performance
  • Market-relevant pricing and cost control options
  • Access to scalable capacity through company-owned assets and vetted, qualified third-party carriers
  • Multimodal transportation options, including truckload, less-than-truckload and intermodal
  • Real-time tracking and monitoring
  • API and EDI integrations that automate workflows and reduce manual work

And with the power of the J.B. Hunt 360° platform, our engineering and technology teams work closely with customers to understand their unique supply chain challenges and develop tailored solutions that fit their business goals.

For some, that means optimizing transportation networks to improve efficiency and support future growth. For others, it means creating interactive KPI dashboards that provide greater visibility into performance or implementing technologies like scan-off-the-truck tools to enhance delivery accuracy and shipment tracking.

By combining our industry expertise, innovative technology and customizable solutions, we help customers solve supply chain challenges and drive efficiency across their operations. 

“Connectivity and integration with our customers are a foundational aspect of doing business together. Our technology teams are ready to collaborate and find systematic solutions that meet the challenging needs of your business.”

Director II, Engineering and Technology

Carrier Technology

Our Carrier 360 technology helps carriers streamline operations, stay connected and access the tools they need to keep freight moving. Carriers who work with us get access to:

  • Our free load board with new loads available each day
  • Custom search tools to quickly filter and find loads and reloads
  • Reviews of pickup and delivery facilities, including the ability to add feedback based on your experience
  • In-app check calls and load updates for easier load management
  • J.B. Hunt Carrier Support when help is needed
  • Exclusive discounts on roadside assistance, maintenance, tires and more

“Using the Carrier 360 app makes all of our jobs easier because we don't have to call in dispatch, get load information, call J.B. Hunt to find out trailer information. Whatever information you need is right there.”

John
Owner, JCD Trucking

Safety is A Priority

We take safety seriously at J.B. Hunt because we’re a people-first company. We want our drivers and the motoring public to make it to every destination safely, so we equip our fleets with the latest safety equipment and driver technology, like:

  • ELD compliance tools for accurate hours-of-service tracking
  • Drivewyze+ for safety alerts, in-cabin coaching and bypass notifications
  • Real-time weather alerts for proactive route planning and hazard avoidance
  • Bendix Blindspotter Radar System for enhanced side-vehicle detection
  • Lytx DriveCam and Forward Collision Warning System for improved visibility and incident prevention

Our values of safety and innovation extend to our drivers and customers off of the road, too. From the J.B. Hunt DRIVE App, which helps drivers access important safety resources and work information, to holographic badge technology that helps customers identify authorized Final Mile delivery personnel, we're continuously innovating to create a better, more secure experience across the supply chain.

Technology That Empowers

Mr. Hunt was forty years ahead of his time when he declared technology key to the future of the industry. His intuition helped put us ahead of the curve, and we plan to stay here as we continue working toward our vision of creating the most efficient transportation network in North America.

Our people, technology and capacity are our guiding foundations for bringing this vision to life. We are committed to innovating and refining technology that keeps freight moving, but more than that – we strive to create technology that empowers.

Whether it’s for our people, customers, drivers or carriers who work with us, J.B. Hunt technology will always be Driven for You™.
