This is a small piece about jb hunt trucking sounds like things are turning around

Volume of deliveries rose in both the company’s trucking division, and its “intermodal” transportation services unit.

Pricing in freight trucking improved “significantly” in the quarter, JB Hunt said, rising 8.3% from April to June, the company said.

Stripping out fuel surcharges, revenue rose 16%, year over year.

“Demand for transportation services has increased fairly dramatically as we have emerged from a multi-year freight recession,” said JB Hunt CEO Kirk Thompson.

JB Hunt’s results follow a better-than-expected Q2 report yesterday by Landstar Systems (LSTR).
