The MasterBrand Account is proud to announce that it has
successfully completed its first run into Canada. Going forward each week one
to two of our drivers will be going into Montreal, Canada. We will be bringing
back inbound freight for the manufacturing facilities in Southern Indiana,
which has been estimated to save MasterBrand Cabinets north of $120,000 a year.
This will provide one of the strongest CVD opportunities that JB Hunt has been
able to provide.
In addition to
being a robust CVD, it also represents a strategic & operational
success. Our direct competitor, Cardinal
Logistics, is unable and unwilling to entertain these kinds of opportunities
making us a stronger partner in the eyes of our customer.

The requirements for our professional drivers to enter into
Canada are staggering. As a result, only about one third of the MasterBrand
fleet is cleared to perform this move. As we look to 2018 and are pursuing
additional growth it will be critical for our partnership with MasterBrand to
provide these services. Cheap & efficient solutions, where many cannot
compete, will be our advantage going into contract renewals. It’s drivers such
as Howard Wile who truly are bringing the JB Hunt value to the table and will
help establish the vision of this account.
