(NASDAQ: JBHT), one of the largest supply chain solutions providers in North America, continued its participation in Wreaths Across America for the tenth consecutive year this week, helping ensure the delivery of more than 355,000 wreaths for the annual event remembering fallen veterans during the holiday season.
This year, 72 J.B. Hunt drivers will help transport 52 loads of wreaths to their final destination at veteran cemeteries throughout the country. On December 16, J.B. Hunt volunteers will join thousands across the country to help lay wreaths on the headstones of fallen veterans for Wreaths Across America Day. The company will hold a rally December 15 at corporate headquarters for employees to celebrate its tenth year of support and reflect on the organization’s mission to remember, honor and teach.
“At J.B. Hunt, supporting our veterans has a far deeper meaning, tying in with our culture and legacy,” said Brad Hicks, president of highway services and executive vice president of people at J.B. Hunt. “When we're able to do something for any individual that has made that ultimate sacrifice to put themselves on the line to fight for our freedoms, it deserves our utmost respect, and we are honored to participate in this event for the tenth-consecutive year memorializing our fallen veterans.”
This year’s total is the largest amount of wreaths J.B. Hunt has delivered for Wreaths Across America since it began working with the organization in 2014. It includes a record number of intermodal loads thanks to continued collaboration with rail providers BNSF Railway and Norfolk Southern. J.B. Hunt custom-wrapped 12 new company tractors and four trailers to commemorate this year’s participation.
