Hub Group
The Firm
Hub Group was founded in 1971, employs nearly six thousand people and drivers, and turns over more than four billion dollars a year from Oak Brook, Illinois. It sells transportation and logistics management rather than any single mode, which is why its purchases cross from final mile delivery into fulfillment and temperature-controlled intermodal.
The December 2023 purchase of Forward Air Final Mile is the one that matters to a courier owner. It bought a residential final mile delivery and installation business focused on big and bulky goods, appliances above all, out of a listed carrier: proof that the delivery businesses changing hands at this level are operating companies with crews and trucks, not contracts reassigned.
A practical note for anyone researching this firm: its own news index renders nothing to a plain fetcher, and the release pages are only reachable through its sitemap or by direct link. An absent newsroom is not an absent record, and it is worth checking the sitemap before concluding a company has published nothing.
Read again in September 2026: it closed on a West Coast final mile provider, SITH, in September 2025, inside the release that closed an intermodal purchase. Nothing has been bought since, and the newsroom from May 2026 on is delayed filings, a restatement, two exchange deficiency notices and, on September 17, an expected delisting determination, which a seller should read before spending a month on a conversation. The whole newsroom opened that evening moved the final mile row to the September 8 effective day its release prints and added the intermodal purchase closed in the same release. A Mexican joint venture is not a purchase, and the firm is restating its financials under Nasdaq notices as of September 2026.
What It Buys
Oak Brook, Illinois. A four-billion-dollar Oak Brook logistics company that buys whole delivery businesses rather than route books, including the residential final mile arm of a listed competitor.

Confirmed Deals
3 deals traced to announcements by Hub Group, 2023 to 2025, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
Nothing newer has cleared the bar in 12 months, against a registry whose newest confirmed deal is September 18, 2026. A gap past 12 months can mean the firm has slowed, or that it has stopped announcing; treat it as a prompt to check its own newsroom before assuming either.
