In plain English
J.B. Hunt moves America's freight. Its core trick is intermodal: it owns the largest fleet of 53-foot containers in North America (~150k boxes) and rides them long-haul on the railroads — above all an exclusive revenue-sharing pact with Buffett's BNSF in the West — then trucks the last leg. Around that sit dedicated fleets it runs for big retailers like Walmart, a freight-brokerage marketplace, and home delivery of big-and-bulky goods.
