Intermodal freight transport utilizes the most efficient aspects of truck and rail transportation. J.B. Hunt is the largest domestic intermodal service provider and continues to lead the conversion of highway shipments to this more energy-efficient intermodal transportation service. The keys to making Hunt’s conversion strategy successful are:

1. Significant investment in private intermodal 53′ containers, chassis, and dray tractors
2. Decision support systems that effectively manage intermodal operations
3. Intermodal network expansion by opening new services lanes
4. Vigorous education on the carbon benefits of intermodal transportation for the shipping community
