EXHIBIT 99.1


Hub Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2009 Earnings

DOWNERS GROVE, IL, April 22, 2009, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today reported income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 of $6.2 million.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.17 for the first quarter of 2009.

Hub Group’s revenue decreased 17% to $352 million compared to $425 million in the first quarter of 2008.  First quarter intermodal revenue decreased 19% to $246 million.  The decrease was attributable to a 5% volume decrease and a 14% decrease related mostly to fuel.  Truck brokerage revenue decreased 24% to $68 million this quarter.  First quarter logistics revenue increased 18% to $38 million.

Hub Group generated $29 million of cash flow from operations and ended the quarter with $113 million in cash.

“We are pleased that we have been able to maintain our market share and generate strong cash flow, despite the challenging freight market,” said David P. Yeager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “We remain focused on providing excellent service to our customers as we drive multiple initiatives to improve efficiency and increase productivity.  We are confident that we have the right strategy and team to weather this current economic downturn and thrive when conditions improve.”
