Investopedia: J.B. Hunt - A La Intermodal

Despite concerns about economic activity, railroad volume, shipping container volume and the health of the trucking industry, goods are still getting shipped around the country and more and more of that shipping is being handled by intermodal carriers. That puts J.B. Hunt (Nasdaq:JBHT) in the driver's seat, and the company is certainly delivering strong results. 

Good Second Quarter Results, With a Catch  
In many respects J.B. Hunt had a great quarter. Operating revenue was up nearly 22% and, even excluding fuel surcharges, leaves 14% revenue growth. The company's intermodal business was the leader; growing 29% this quarter and making up nearly 60% of operating revenue. The company's dedicated contract services business also did well, with growth of 15%. Trucking was the laggard, coming in with just 4% revenue growth this period.
