Exhibit 99.1


Hub Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2009 Earnings

DOWNERS GROVE, IL, July 22, 2009, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today reported income for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 of $8.3 million.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.22 for the second quarter of 2009.

Hub Group’s revenue decreased 26% to $363 million compared to $491 million in the second quarter of 2008.  Second quarter intermodal revenue decreased 28% to $254 million.  The decrease was attributable to a 10% volume decrease and an 18% decrease related primarily to fuel.  Truck brokerage revenue decreased 28% to $72 million this quarter.  Second quarter logistics revenue decreased 9% to $37 million.

Hub Group ended the quarter with $113 million in cash.

“Each of our business lines continues to generate respectable returns even in this difficult freight environment,” said David P. Yeager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  “Although revenue is down, we continue to focus aggressively on productivity enhancements to reduce our costs while maintaining a high level of customer service.”
