According to executive vice president Spencer Frazier, the J.B. Hunt intermodal partnership creates value by enhancing efficiency and lowering transport costs. He emphasized its foundation on a 35-year collaborative legacy.

J.B. Hunt also opened a regional office in Querétaro to support this expanded initiative. The location strengthens operations in Mexico and brings the team closer to key industrial corridors.
