At-Will Employment Status

This Handbook is not intended to create a contract of employment.
Rather, it is simply intended to describe U.S. Xpress and its present
policies and procedures. U.S. Xpress abides by employment at will,
which permits U.S. Xpress or the employee to terminate the employment
relationship at any time, for any reason. Nothing in this handbook, or in
any document or statement, shall limit the Company’s right to terminate
employment at-will. No manager, supervisor, or employee, other than an
Executive Officer of the Company (and only in writing), has authority to
enter into any agreement for employment for any specific period of time
or to make any agreement for employment other than at-will.

Equal Employment Opportunity
The Company is committed to a work environment in which all
individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has
the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal
employment opportunities and prohibits discriminatory practices,
including harassment. Therefore, U.S. Xpress expects that all
relationships among persons in the workplace will be business-like and
free of bias, prejudice and harassment.
U.S. Xpress does not discriminate in hiring or in any of the terms
or conditions of employment because of an individual’s race, age,
religion, gender or gender identity, national origin, marital status, sexual
orientation, veteran status, or disability. No job applicant or present
employee is to be discriminated against because of these factors. It
is the intent of this policy that equal opportunities will be provided,
but not limited to the following: employment, promotion, demotion,
transfer, wages, benefits, and all other privileges, terms and conditions of
employment.

Your Appearance Matters
U.S. Xpress drivers are requested to dress professionally when
working. In the interest of safety, drivers are required to wear appropriate
footwear, preferably steel-toed, non-slip work boots. In the absence of
such footwear, drivers should wear shoes with a rubber or non-slip sole
and shoes that fully cover and protect the feet. U.S. Xpress prohibits
wearing cowboy boots, dress shoes, flip-flops and sandals while entering,
exiting, or operating your tractor.

Communication Policy
U.S. Xpress promotes a team atmosphere and recognizes that
courtesy and respect are the keys to good relationships. U.S. Xpress
