J.B. Hunt Q1 & intermodal lag

- J.B. Hunt reported Q1 2026 revenue of $3.06 billion with $141.6 million in net earnings, signalling pockets of stronger pricing and volume in its network. - Management noted intermodal pricing typically lags truckload pricing, creating short windows where truck‑to‑intermodal shifts still make economic sense for shippers. - Sellers can use that timing to propose modal orchestration and TMS‑driven lane analysis to protect margins before bid markets fully reprice.
