Armstrong & Associates' Evaluation: Hub is a major North American intermodal company. It controls 23-24,000 containers on any given day - 3,400 are owned and 6,600 are rented from BNSF and Norfolk Southern. It has a particularly close relationship with Union Pacific. Hub has acquired drayage operations (Contrak and Quality Services) that help it keep pace with J.B. Hunt and Schneider. About 8% of revenues are from Unyson Logistics, a 3PL and cross-dock specialist. Twenty percent are from its expanding truck brokerage.
