About Hub

Hub helps businesses move freight across North America, combining trucking and intermodal transport with broader logistics support. It is known for handling the physical movement of goods through a mix of rail-based intermodal shipping and road trucking, covering everything from standard truckload freight to temperature-controlled and flatbed loads.

The company runs through two main parts of its business. One focuses on moving freight itself, using trucks, drivers and containers alongside intermodal rail connections. The other side works more like a coordinator, arranging transportation for customers, managing carriers, planning shipments, and handling warehousing and final delivery steps. Customers span industries such as retail, consumer products, automotive and durable goods, reflecting the range of goods that need to be shipped and stored.

Hub was founded in 1971 and is based in Oak Brook, Illinois. Its shares are listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker HUBG.
