                                 HUB GROUP, INC.

                             LOMBARD, ILLINOIS 60148

                                 PROXY STATEMENT

         This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
by the Board of Directors of Hub Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hub
Group" or the "Company"), of proxies for use at the 2001 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Company to be held on Tuesday, May 15, 2001, and any
adjournment thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). This Proxy Statement and
accompanying form of proxy are first being sent to stockholders on or about
April 12, 2001.

         The Company's Class A common stock, $.01 par value (the "Class A Common
Stock"), and the Class B common stock, $.01 par value (the "Class B Common
Stock," together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), are the
only issued and outstanding classes of stock. Only stockholders of record at the
close of business on March 30, 2001 (the "Record Date"), are entitled to notice
of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, the Company had
7,046,050 shares of Class A Common Stock (each a "Class A Share") and 662,296
shares of Class B Common Stock (each a "Class B Share," and collectively with
the Class A Shares, the "Shares") outstanding and entitled to vote.

                          VOTING RIGHTS AND PROCEDURES

         Shares represented by an effective proxy given by a stockholder will be
voted as directed by the stockholder. If a properly signed proxy form is
returned to the Company and one or more proposals are not marked, it will be
voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors on all
such proposals. A stockholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to
the voting of the proxy by giving written notice to the Secretary of the
Company, by executing a later dated proxy or by attending the Annual Meeting and
voting in person.

         Each Class A Share is entitled to one (1) vote and each Class B Share
is entitled to twenty (20) votes. The holders of Shares having a majority of the
votes which could be cast by the holders of all Shares, present in person or
represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions will be treated as Shares that are present and entitled to vote for
purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. If a broker indicates on the
proxy that it does not have discretionary authority as to certain Shares to vote
on a particular matter, those Shares will be considered as present and entitled
to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. The Yeager family
members own all 662,296 shares of Class B Common Stock and 741,800 shares of
Class A Common Stock. Consequently, the Yeager family controls approximately 69%
of the voting power of the Company on all matters presented for stockholder
action. The Yeager family members are parties to a stockholders' agreement,
pursuant to which they have agreed to vote all of their shares of Class B Common
Stock in accordance with the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares.

         Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be
tabulated by the election inspectors appointed for the meeting and such election
inspectors will determine whether or not a quorum is present.


         The Board of Directors knows of no matters to be presented at the
Annual Meeting other than those set forth in the Notice of 2001 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders enclosed herewith. However, if any other matters do come before
the meeting, it is intended that the holders of the proxies will vote thereon in
their discretion. Any such other matter will require for its approval the
affirmative vote of the holders of Shares having a majority of the votes present
in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is
present, or such greater vote as may be required under the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation, the Company's By-laws or applicable law. A list of
stockholders as of the record date will be available for inspection at the
Annual Meeting and for a period of ten days prior to the Annual Meeting at the
Company's offices in Lombard.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The number of directors of the Company, as determined by the Board of
Directors under Article III of the Company's By-laws, is currently six. Each
director holds office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or
until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or
removal.

         The nominees for whom the enclosed proxy is intended to be voted are
set forth below. Each nominee for election as director currently serves as a
director of the Company. It is not contemplated that any of these nominees will
be unavailable for election, but if such a situation should arise, the proxy
will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the proxyholder for such
person or persons as may be designated by the Board of Directors unless the
stockholder has directed otherwise.

         Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual
Meeting, provided a quorum is present. The outcome of the election is not
affected by abstentions or the withholding of authority to vote in the election,
or by broker non-votes. Stockholders are not allowed to cumulate their votes in
the election of directors.

         If a stockholder desires to nominate persons for election as directors
at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders written notice of such stockholder's
intent to make such a nomination must be given and received by the Secretary of
the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company either by personal
delivery or by United States mail no earlier than February 14, 2002 nor later
than March 16, 2002. Each notice must describe the nomination in sufficient
detail for the nomination to be summarized on the agenda for the meeting and
must set forth: (i) the name and address, as it appears on the books of the
Company, of the stockholder making the nomination, (ii) a representation that
the stockholder is a holder of record of stock in the Company entitled to vote
at the annual meeting of stockholders and intends to appear in person or by
proxy at the meeting to present the nomination, (iii) a statement of the class
and number of shares beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) the name and
address of any person to be nominated, (v) a description of all arrangements or
understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person or
persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or
nominations are to be made by the stockholder, (vi) such other information
regarding such nominee proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be
included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and (vii) the consent of
such nominee to serve as a director of the Company if elected. The presiding
officer of the annual meeting of stockholders will, if the facts warrant, refuse
to acknowledge a nomination not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure,
and any such nomination not properly brought before the meeting will not be
considered.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

        Directors who are not employees of the Company received $24,000 for
serving as a director during 2000. Directors who are employees of the Company do
not receive additional compensation for such services. Both employee and
non-employee directors are reimbursed for their travel and other expenses
incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors or
committees thereof. In addition, simultaneously with the closing of the initial
public offering (the "Offering") of the Company, Messrs. Eppen, Reaves and Slark
each received options to purchase 12,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
exercisable at $14.00 per share. All of these options have now vested for each
director. On December 10, 1999, Messrs. Eppen, Reaves and Slark each received
additional options to purchase 12,000 shares of Class A Common Stock exercisable
at $18.75 per share. These options vest ratably over a three-year period.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        The Compensation Committee approves the policies under which
compensation is paid or awarded to the Company's executive officers. The
Compensation Committee consists of the three independent members of the Board.

        In October 1999, the Board of Directors commissioned a third party to
conduct a study of the Company's compensation program. This study included a
survey of compensation practices in the transportation industry using a broad
sample of companies within the industry. This independent study was used as the
benchmark to determine competitive compensation ranges for senior executives.
The Compensation Committee implemented certain recommendations from the
independent study and, using this study, determined the compensation structure
for 2000. An independent study of compensation practices in the transportation
industry will be conducted periodically by a third party to update the Company's
benchmark of competitive compensation ranges for senior executives.

        The 2000 Compensation structure approved by the Compensation Committee
was based on the following philosophy:

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

        The Company's compensation philosophy is designed to link executive
performance to long-term stockholder value, connect pay with individual
performance, maintain a compensation system that is competitive with the
industry standards and attract and retain outstanding executives.

DESCRIPTION OF COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

        The Company's executive compensation program has three components--base
salary, annual incentives, and long-term incentives. Base salary and annual
incentives are primarily designed to reward current and past performance.
Long-term incentives are primarily designed to provide strong incentives for
long-term future Company growth.

        BASE SALARY To attract and retain qualified executives, base salary is
determined using competitive criteria within the transportation industry. Salary
increases are based on individual performance and, to a lesser extent, trends
within the industry.

        ANNUAL INCENTIVE The Company's bonus plan recognizes and rewards
executives for taking actions that build the value of the Company, generate
competitive total returns for stockholders, and provide value-added solutions
for the Company's customers. For most executive officers, bonus compensation is
based on individual performance and Company performance. The component of the
bonus based on individual performance is conditioned on the individual meeting
certain pre-determined objectives and the component of the bonus based on
Company performance is based on the Company meeting certain performance goals.

                                       10


        LONG-TERM INCENTIVES The Company's Long-Term Incentive Program serves to
reward executive performance that successfully executes the Company's long-term
business strategy and builds stockholder value. The program allows for the
awarding of options and stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and
performance units. During fiscal year 2000, non-qualified stock options were
granted to one of the Company's executive officers. The grant was designed to
motivate the executive officer to continue the Company's growth.

SECTION 162(M) COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT DISCLOSURE

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") limits the Company's deduction for compensation paid to the executive
officers named in the Summary Compensation Table to $1 million unless certain
requirements are met. The policy of the Committee with respect to section 162(m)
is to establish and maintain a compensation program which will optimize the
deductibility of compensation. In that regard, no executive officer received
compensation in excess of $1 million during fiscal year 2000. The Committee,
however, reserves the right to use its judgment, where merited by the
Committee's need to respond to changing business conditions or by an executive
officer's individual performance, to authorize compensation which may not, in a
specific case, be fully deductible to the Company.

COMPENSATION ADMINISTRATION

        The Compensation Committee will follow an annual cycle to administer
each of the three components of executive compensation. The independent study of
competitive compensation practices within the transportation industry will
continue to be used as the benchmark to determine competitive compensation
ranges for senior executives. Individual performance and contribution to the
achievement of strategic objectives will be considered in the determination of
annual compensation for each executive. The integrity of the Company's
compensation program relies on an annual performance evaluation process.

DISCUSSION OF CEO COMPENSATION

        Consistent with the Company's compensation philosophy, the Compensation
Committee approved Mr. David P. Yeager's total compensation during fiscal year
2000. Mr. Yeager's base salary was based on overall performance of the Company,
on relative levels of compensation for CEOs within the benchmark companies in
the transportation industry and on individual performance related to strategic
objectives. Mr. Yeager's incentive compensation was based on achievement of
goals relating to the Company's earnings per share target.

        For 2000, the Compensation Committee decided to increase Mr. Yeager's
salary and reduce his bonus potential to reflect market practices. In 1999, Mr.
Yeager was paid $864,000, with $364,000 in the form of salary and $500,000 in
the form of bonus. For 2000, the Compensation Committee approved a package
allowing Mr.Yeager to earn $907,000, or five percent more than 2000, with
$463,068 in the form of salary and $444,132 in the form of bonus if the Company
met its goals for the year.

        Mr. Yeager was paid his salary of $463,068 during 2000 but received no
bonus because the Company did not meet its earnings per share goal.


                                    COMPENSATION COMMITTEE,


                                    Gary D. Eppen
                                    Charles R. Reaves

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

        Each member of the Audit Committee is independent of the Company and its
management, as required of audit committee members by the National Association
of Securities Dealers listing standards. In June 2000 the Audit Committee
adopted and the Board approved a written charter, a copy of which is included
with this proxy statement. The charter specifies the scope of the Audit
Committee's responsibilities and how it carriers out those responsibilities.

        The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company's quarterly
and annual audited financial statements with management and with Arthur Andersen
LLP, the Company's independent public accountants. The Company has also
discussed with Arthur Andersen LLP the matters required to be discussed by
Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as
amended, by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. The Audit Committee has also received from Arthur Andersen
LLP the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard
No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, by the Independence
Standards Board, regarding their independence. The Audit Committee has discussed
with Arthur Andersen LLP their independence and considered whether the provision
of non-audit services referred to under "Independent Public Accountants" on page
14 is compatible with maintaining their independence. Based on the review and
discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of
Directors that the December 31, 2000 audited financial statements be included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2000.

                                    AUDIT COMMITTEE

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

        The following line graph compares the Company's cumulative total
stockholder return on its Class A Common Stock since March 13, 1996, the date

         Board of Directors who are approved by a majority vote of the Company's
         Directors. The Audit Committee members shall not be employees or
         officers of the Company or its subsidiaries and shall be Directors who
         are independent of the management of the Company and free of any
         relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would
         interfere with their exercise of independent judgement in carrying out
         their responsibilities as a director.

         All three Directors must be financially literate. Financial literacy
         shall include the ability to read and understand the Company's
         financial statements, including the Company's balance sheet, income
         statement and cash flow statement. At least one of the three Directors
         must have past employment experience in finance or accounting,
         requisite professional certification in accounting or comparable
         experience, or background that results in the individual's financial
         sophistication, including being or having been a Chief Executive
         Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or other senior officer with
         financial oversight responsibilities.

         The Audit Committee shall consist of the three Directors selected at
         the Board Meeting at which this charter is adopted. Such Directors
         shall serve until the next annual Board meeting. Thereafter, members of
         the Audit Committee shall be selected at the annual Board meeting and
         shall serve one-year terms; provided, however, that the Board shall, if
         possible, select at least one member of each year's audit committee to
         continue on such committee for the following year. The Board of
         Directors by majority vote shall appoint one of the three members of
         the Audit Committee to serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The
         Chairman of the Audit Committee shall serve in that capacity until the
         Board of Directors appoints a new Chairman of the Audit Committee.

         Except as expressly provided in this charter or the Company's Bylaws,
         the Audit Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure.

2.       DUTIES OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

         The Audit Committee shall be responsible for the following matters:

         (a)      Oversight of the Company's internal control structure;

         (b)      Review of the operations of the Company's controller;

         (c)      Selection, evaluation or replacement of the independent
                  auditors for the Company and its subsidiaries;

         (d)      Review of the company's annual audit plan; and

         (e)      Ensure the independence of the outside auditor.


                                       A-1


         In overseeing the Company's internal control structure, Audit Committee
         shall review all internal control evaluations performed by management,
         the Controller and the independent auditors, with a view to determining
         that the Company's assets are safeguarded and that transactions are
         authorized and properly recorded. In addition, the Audit Committee
         shall review evaluations of the company's electronic data processing
         system to determine the adequacy of its related controls.

         The Audit Committee shall annually review the Chief Financial Officer's
         authority, the qualifications, experience and training of the Chief
         Financial Officer's staff, and the reporting relationships between the
         Chief Financial Officer and top management. The Chief Financial Officer
         shall be entitled to directly contact the Audit committee without prior
         approval of Company management.

         The Audit Committee shall select and evaluate a nationally recognized
         firm of certified public accountants to serve as auditors for the
         Company and its subsidiaries, based upon such factors as the Audit
         Committee deems relevant to assess the expertise, integrity and
         effectiveness of such auditors. The Audit Committee has the authority
         and responsibility to replace the independent auditor, as deemed
         necessary. Different accounting firms may be chosen to audit the
         Company or any subsidiary thereof. The independent auditors selected
         shall be accountable to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee.

         The Audit Committee shall obtain from the auditors a formal written
         statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries, consistent with Independence
         Standards Board Standard 1. The Audit Committee shall actively discuss
         with the auditor any disclosed relationships or services that may
         impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor. The Audit
         Committee shall take, or recommend that the full Board of Directors
         take, appropriate action to oversee the independence of the auditor. No
         accounting firm shall be selected or continue as an auditor of the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries if members of such firm have
         investments in, or relationships with, the audited entity which would
         compromise the independence of the auditors. Performing management
         advisory services for the audited entity shall not disqualify an
         accounting firm unless the extent of such services and the amount of
         compensation earned thereby is sufficient, in the judgement of the
         Audit Committee, to compromise the independence of such accounting
         firm.

         The Audit Committee shall meet with the independent auditors prior to
         the commencement of the annual audit to review the audit plan for such
         year, written copies of which shall be provided to the committee
         members a week prior to such meeting. The purpose of such meeting shall
         be to evaluate the adequacy of the audit plan and to explore any
         significant accounting and auditing problems that the auditors may
         foresee. The Audit committee shall again meet with the independent
         auditors, after the completion of the audit and before distribution of
         the annual financial statement, to evaluate the accuracy of the
         Company's financial reporting, the internal controls of the Company,
         the nature of any disagreements or major issues discussed between the
         independent auditors and management, the nature and resolution of any
         significant or unusual accounting and auditing problems encountered in
         the audit and such other matters as the committee deems appropriate.

         Although the Audit Committee may request officers of the Company to
         attend any of the foregoing meetings, the Audit Committee shall meet at
         least once a year with the independent auditors in a private executive
         session, without the attendance of any officers of the Company.

         The Audit Committee shall also meet with the Controller and the
         independent auditors to discuss the auditor's letter of recommendations
         to management and any comments the auditors may have with respect to
         improving controls.

         The Audit Committee may meet at such other times as it deems
         appropriate to effectively perform its duties.

                                       A-2


3.       REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

         The Audit Committee shall have minutes taken of each meeting. Promptly
         after the annual financial statements are released, the Audit Committee
         shall provide the Board of Directors with a written report evaluating
         the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and financial reporting
         processes and evaluating the effectiveness of the independent auditor.
         Such reports shall also contain any recommendations that the Audit
         Committee wishes to make with respect to such matters.

4.       ACCESS TO COMPANY RESOURCES

         With reasonable advance notice, the Audit Committee may request any
         accounting or legal officer of the Company to attend any meeting of the
         Audit Committee or to otherwise provide assistance to the committee in
         fulfilling its responsibilities. The Audit Committee shall endeavor to
         avoid disruptions of the Company's normal operations in utilizing such
         personnel. In the event that the Committee believes that any employee,
         officer or director of the Company is engaging in fraudulent activities
         involving the Company, the Committee shall be entitled to engage
         outside legal counsel or other experts to assist the Committee in
         investigating such matter.

5.       ANNUAL REVIEW OF AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

         In recognition of the nature of the Company's growth, the Board of
         Directors shall annually review the charter of the Audit Committee to
         determine its adequacy in light of the Company's needs at the time of
         the review.
