J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. was in March named among the “Training Top 100,” as determined each year by Training magazine.

“Our employees are the heart and soul of our organization,” said Kirk Thompson, president and CEO of the truckload carrier. “We have the most formidable team in the transportation logistics industry, and we are honored to be recognized for providing them with the training and development they need.”

Training magazine conducts research for the Top 100 through a multitiered nomination, application and interview process. The magazine’s editorial staff then completes in-depth analysis and assessment of each nominated company based on a set of qualitative and quantitative criteria.

J.B. Hunt was ranked 74 on the list. The company was also the only transportation logistics provider to make the list. With annual revenue of more than $2 billion, the Lowell company operates more than 11,000 trucks and about 40,000 trailers and containers.
