I missed this one but I do think it is interesting the intermodal arm of J.B. Hunt is now a licensed NVOCC. The article from the Journal of Commerce cites this as a decision more about how to get their Chinese 53' containers to the US at a lower cost (perhaps because they now are hit with tariffs).
Not sure but it will be interesting as J.B. Hunt is a company to dabble, learn then exploit a good business opportunity.

I broke this story and I agree with you that J.B. Hunt will play around with this a little bit, get some of their enterprise clients pipe lined into their own ocean environment at some point in time.
