J.B. Hunt’s third-quarter revenue surged 20% year over year on solid intermodal activity, the onset of robust pricing gains across the brokerage and trucking divisions during the first half, and spiking fuel surcharges.
Intermodal shipping enjoys favorable long-term trends, including secular constraints on truckload capacity expansion and Class I railroads' focus on providing faster and more reliable service corridors.
Hunt's early 2026 bidding season came slightly before the recent pricing surge in the competing truckload industry. As such, contract rates could remain depressed for a few more quarters.
