J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT) announced
today that its founder, Johnnie Bryan (J.B.) Hunt, will be inducted
into the inaugural class of the Council of Supply Chain Management
Professionals’ (CSCMP) Hall of Fame. Hunt will be inducted
alongside Henry Ford, founder of Ford Motor Company, and Malcom
McLean, inventor of the shipping container.
The Supply Chain Hall of Fame will pay tribute to those who have
made revolutionary contributions to the supply chain discipline.
Hunt was selected as an inductee because of his role in pioneering
intermodal transportation. As one of the first trucking companies
to move loads by rail, J.B. Hunt Transport’s partnership with the
former Santa Fe Railway charted a new course for intermodal. Since
1989, the company has grown from a small intermodal operation with
a few hundred containers to owning the largest fleet of 53-foot
containers in the world.
“Mr. Hunt’s induction into the Supply Chain Hall of Fame is an
incredible honor and one our company is extremely proud of,” said
John Roberts, president and CEO of J.B. Hunt. “His innovation and
foresight forever changed the industry, setting the stage for a new
era of intermodal.”
Johnelle Hunt, wife of the late J.B., will accept the award on
her husband’s behalf during CSCMP’s global conference in Orlando in
September.
