Hub's Margins Are Grappling With Persistent Intermodal Headwinds This Year

Hub Group is the second-largest intermodal marketing company, or IMC, and also ranks among the 25 largest asset-light truck brokers in terms of gross revenue. In its flagship intermodal division, Hub contracts with the Class I railroads for the line-haul movement of its owned containers. It operates the second-largest fleet in the industry, with exclusive access to more than 30,000 containers, and enjoys an approximate 10% market share. By gross revenue, J.B. Hunt is the largest IMC, followed by Hub and the intermodal divisions of STG Logistics, Schneider National and Knight Swift.
