Exhibit 99.1

Hub Group, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Earnings

DOWNERS GROVE, IL, April 19, 2011, -- Hub Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HUBG) today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $10.5 million.  Hub Group’s diluted earnings per share was $0.28 for the first quarter of 2011.  This represents an increase of 22% compared to last year's first quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.23.  The results for the quarter include approximately $1.7 million of costs related to the Mode Transportation acquisition.

Hub Group’s revenue increased 16% to $485 million compared to $417 million in the first quarter of 2010.  First quarter intermodal revenue increased 17% to $336 million.  The increase was attributable to a 13% volume increase, a 7% increase for fuel and a 3% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 6% decrease for mix.  Truck brokerage revenue increased 1% to $85 million this quarter.  First quarter logistics revenue increased 36% to $64 million.
 
"At the start of our 40th year we believe that our outstanding operational results, combined with our recent acquisition of Mode Transportation, position Hub Group to have a very strong 2011 with revenue that will exceed $2.5 billion," said David P. Yeager, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hub Group.
