First Look: J.B. Hunt Q2 earnings
J.B. Hunt Transport Services' second-quarter result was largely in line with analysts' expectations. The Lowell, Arkansas-based multimodal transportation provider reported earnings per share of $1.31 for the period after the market closed on Tuesday, which was 1 cent below the year-ago result. Consolidated revenue of $2.93 billion was in line with consensus and flat year over year. Operating income dipped 4% y/y to $197 million. The company's flagship intermodal unit reported a 2% y/y increase in revenue to $1.44 billion as a 6% increase in loads was partially offset by a 3% decline in revenue per load. A mix shift to the Eastern network weighed on the yield metric given the shorter length of haul. The unit's operating ratio (inverse of operating margin) deteriorated 40 basis points y/y to 93.3%. Dedicated revenue dipped less than 1% y/y to $847 million as a 3% decline in average trucks in service was largely offset by a 3% increase in revenue per truck per week (up 5% excluding fuel surcharges). The unit's OR was 30 bps worse y/y at 88.9%. A $3.6 million operating loss in the company's brokerage segment widened slightly from the first quarter, but was nearly $10 million lower y/y. Brokered loads declined 9% y/y but revenue per load was up 6%. J.B. Hunt (NASDAQ: JBHT) will host a call at 5 p.m. EDT on Tuesday to discuss second-quarter results.

Yellow Corp. to sell 4 terminals for $6.9M
Defunct Yellow Corp. has entered a request with a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware to sell four terminals for $6.85 million, according to a Monday filing. The purchase agreements for the owned properties include a 38-door terminal near Long Island, New York valued at $4 million, a 39-door service center near Omaha, Nebraska ($2 million), a 20-door facility near Atlantic City, New Jersey ($600,000), and a 15-door location in Alexandria, Louisiana ($250,000). The buyers appear to include various real estate and other investor groups. Proceeds from the sales will settle claims against the estate, including employee claims for PTO, sick time and amounts sought under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The bankrupt less-than-truckload carrier has liquidated more than 210 terminals for nearly $2.4 billion since filing for bankruptcy in 2023.

Truck maker plans to layoff 2,000 workers in the US, Mexico
Daimler Truck North America plans to temporarily lay off 2,000 employees from five facilities in the U.S. and Mexico amid weak market demand, the company said. The layoffs, which will be effective Friday, include two facilities near Charlotte, as well as factories in Detroit, Portland, and Saltillo, Mexico. Each site will experience different impacts based on local business needs, Daimler officials said. 'As we navigate a challenging economic environment, we've seen a notable slowdown in new truck orders, particularly in our medium-duty, on-highway, and electric vehicle segments,' Daimler Truck North America spokesman Andrew Johnson told FreightWaves in an email. 'To align with current market conditions, we've made the tough decision to implement workforce reductions across several facilities.' The layoffs in North Carolina include 546 employees from a manufacturing plant in Mount Holly, and 27 workers from a components and logistics site in Gastonia, according to a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act notice. The job cuts include truck assemblers, painters, supervisors, material handlers, office supervisors, technicians, and logistics staff. The lay offs are expected to be temporary, but do not have a return date yet. Portland, Oregon-based Daimler Truck North America employs 29,200 people, according to its website. Daimler Truck North America operates manufacturing plants in Cleveland, Gastonia, High Point, and Mount Holly, North Carolina; Gaffney, South Carolina; Redford, Michigan; and Saltillo and Santiago, Mexico. Daimler Truck North America is a subsidiary of Germany-based Daimler Truck AG. The company's brands include Freightliner, Western Star, Mercedes-Benz, Fuso, BharatBenz and Rizon.
