FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


J.B. HUNT TRANSPORT, INC. NAMED 2016 MILITARY FRIENDLY EMPLOYER BY G.I. JOBS®


LOWELL, Ark., November 5, 2015 - J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. (NASDAQ: JBHT) announces today that it has again been recognized for the ninth consecutive year as a Top 100 Military Friendly® Employer by G.I. Jobs®, ranking 13th overall and fourth most military friendly employer in the transportation industry.


'The women and men who serve in our armed forces are some of the most dedicated and skilled workers who join our company,' said John Roberts, president and CEO of J.B. Hunt. 'We made a commitment to hire current and former servicemen and women, and that is a commitment that has enhanced our operations and our company. It is our honor to welcome members of the military into the J.B. Hunt family.'


'The Military Friendly® Employers designation positions companies such as J.B. Hunt at the top of the list for service members who are looking for civilian careers,' said Sean Collins, Vice President at Victory Media, creator of Military Friendly ratings and publisher of G.I. Jobs®. 'Transitioning into civilian life can be difficult, therefore when companies have programs in place to support veterans, it makes the transition much easier. We are happy to see J.B. Hunt earn this distinction nine years in a row, which shows their commitment to hiring veterans and supporting the U.S. military.'


Last year, J.B. Hunt made a commitment to hire 10,000 veterans by 2020, and as of today, the company has hired almost 2,000 veterans toward its goal.
