Monday, April 15, 12:53 PM A tough day for the trucking sector with Swift Transportation (SWFT -8.1%) leading the downward fall. The gloom is tied to a reading of the Internet Truckstop's Market Demand Index which showed a 21% sequential fall in demand for trucks. Decliners: J.B Hunt Transportation (JBHT) -1.8%, Celadon Group(CGI) -4.2%, Marten Transport (MRTN) -3.8%, Heartland Express (HTLD) -1.1%, Knight Transportation (KNX) -1.4%. 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]

Net earnings rose 8.4% as the trucking company reported stronger revenue and volume in most of its business segments. The intermodal division, by far the largest contributor to the top line, reported revenue improved 15% to $796.3M amid volume growth of 13%, as well as improved revenue per load. Its trucking segment saw the only revenue decline, down by 21%, mostly owing to proportionate reduction in the size of its fleet. Shares -3.7% Comment! [Consumer, Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, April 11, 4:02 PM J. B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT): Q1 EPS of $0.61. Revenue of $1.29B. Shares -3% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, On the Move]
Thursday, January 24, 10:52 AM Swift Transportation (SWFT +22.4%) jets higher after the company saw its Q4 profits soar past the estimate of analysts.

[Consumer, On the Move]
Thursday, January 24, 8:46 AM J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT): Q4 EPS of $0.70 beats by $0.01. Revenue of $1.34B (+11% Y/Y) in-line. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 6:29 AM Booming trade between Mexico and the U.S. is proving a boon to railroad, trucking and logistics firms.

Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 3:49 PM Hub Group (HUBG +2.8%) reported better than expected Q3 results, and Morgan Stanley is encouraged by the shipping firm's exposure to the "intermodal secular growth story." But the firm notes pricing difficulties HUBG faces, so it favors fellow intermodal play J.B. Hunt (JBHT +0.6%) for its "competitive advantage provided by its unique rail contracts." Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
Thursday, October 11, 2012, 6:26 PM More on J.B. Hunt (JBHT): Q3 comes in mixed, missing slightly on a per share basis but beating on total revenue. Net earnings rose 14% Y/Y however, on strong performance from its intermodal division and better margins. Revenue per load edged lower by 0.1%, but was largely offset a 15% increase in load volume. Shares +4% AH. Comment! [Earnings, On the Move]
