HUBG

Hub Group, Inc.

A logistics company that moves freight by combining rail and truck, arranging intermodal shipping for businesses across North America through a network of "hubs." It was founded in 1971 by Phillip Yeager, a former Pennsylvania Railroad employee, and his wife Joyce in Hinsdale, Illinois, originally as Hub City Terminals before being renamed Hub Group in 1985. The name comes from the network of offices, or hubs, that coordinate shipments, and the business famously began in a small, windowless office above a flower shop.
