“Wreaths Across America is a special time to recognize and honor military service members who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms,” said David Keefauver, executive vice president of people at J.B. Hunt. “This year marks a special milestone for J.B. Hunt – more than 500 company drivers have now participated in the effort throughout our 11 years of involvement, which demonstrates the commitment of our people to making sure no fallen veteran is forgotten during the holidays.”

This year, 74 J.B. Hunt drivers, all either veterans or have a direct association with a veteran, will help ensure that more than 356,000 wreaths make it to their final destination at national cemeteries across the country. On December 14, J.B. Hunt volunteers will join thousands across the nation for wreath-laying events on Wreaths Across America Day. The company will hold a ceremony on December 13 at its corporate headquarters for employees to celebrate its annual support and reflect on the non-profit organization’s mission to remember, honor and teach.

J.B. Hunt will haul 56 loads of wreaths this year, surpassing its record-setting total in 2023. This includes nearly 50 intermodal loads, which will be transported through ongoing collaborations with rail providers BNSF Railway and Norfolk Southern. To commemorate this year’s participation, the company has designed a custom wrap for 11 J.B. Hunt tractors and two J.B. Hunt trailers featuring the theme, “Your Courage Inspires Us”.

Altogether, J.B.
