How To Enter and Exit At All U.S. Xpress Facilities
1. When entering and departing from any Company facility, always
stop at the gate. The guard will be required to obtain needed
information from you and may apply or remove a padlock from
the loaded trailer. Please be certain to comply with the security
officer’s instructions and requests.
2. Every driver must check in with Outbound Dispatch when
at a Service Center. This is a function that benefits both the
driver and Operations in ensuring the driver has all of his/her
information and that the driver has the best load options and
transit available.
3. If dropping a load at a Service Center or Drop Yard, bring the
bill of lading to Outbound Dispatch.
4. If in need of equipment repairs, drivers must go to the
Maintenance Department, submit an equipment write-up form
and leave it with the service writer.

5. It is imperative that drivers notify their Driver Manager of
needed repairs and projected time of availability (PTA). If you
have a load, the Driver Service Department will need to make
arrangements to service the load properly.
6. Prior to departure, you must obtain a Gate Pass. This must be
done whether you are bob-tailing or loading off the yard. The
Gate Pass will have two (2) stamps, an Operations and a Bobtail
approval, indicating the information on the truck and driver
is accurate. Please leave contact information with Outbound
Dispatch so that you can be reached if you are not available via
Satcom.
7. We want your visit to the Service Centers to go as smoothly
as possible. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you
communicate your availability with your Driver Manager while
at the Service Center.
8. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times and are not allowed
inside any facility.
