Hub Group’s revenue increased 16 percent to $485 million compared to $417 million.

Truck brokerage revenue increased 1 percent to $85 million. Logistics revenue increased 36 percent to $64 million.
“At the start of our 40th year, we believe that our outstanding operational results, combined with our recent acquisition of Mode Transportation, position Hub Group to have a very strong 2011 with revenue that will exceed $2.5 billion,” said David Yeager, chairman and chief executive officer of Hub Group, based in Downers Grove, Ill.
