J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. (NASDAQ:JBHT) is one of the stocks on Jim Cramer’s game plan for this week. Cramer mentioned the stock during the episode and remarked:

“After the close, we hear from truck giant, J.B. Hunt, probably seen their trucks on the road. I think this group has finally broken out of its doldrums, the freight recession. I don’t typically recommend truckers, very hard business, but a good number from J.B. Hunt emboldens me to keep pushing Federal Express, FedEx. What a winner that’s been. Raj Subramaniam’s just done a fantastic job there.”

“Hey, you know what? You can buy the transports. They thrive when rates go down. I think J.B. Hunt can be bought for the truckers. I never recommend them, but I think the long trucking recession’s over.”
