Elevation Delivers Success

We received a great note this week about the success stories we are seeing from our investment in the Elevation process.  Check out this note from John Roberts, our CEO and President.  Enjoy:

Team,

Through ELEVATION, we engaged all business units to proactively think of locations with

leases expiring in the next 24 months and examined parking, unused space and needed improvements to be discussed in negotiations with landlords. As a result, we reduced

unnecessary space in many locations after reviewing 22 properties, including:

• 12 Warehouses/Offices
• 9 Drop Yards
• 1 Terminal

For example, in Bethlehem, PA, the result of this ELEVATION project:

• Consolidated JBI and maintenance employees into the same building
• Increased office space and created extra parking for employees after consolidation
• Increased equipment parking from six to 10 acres
• Improved employee synergy and communication
• Successfully negotiated building improvements to develop working areas
• Reduced consolidated rental expense

This is one of many expected improvements coming out of ELEVATION to help make

J.B. Hunt a Bigger, Stronger and Better company.
