Strategic Business Units (SBU’s)

U.S. Xpress is organized into Strategic Business Units (SBU’s).
Each SBU has its own mission and objectives that support the overall
objectives of U.S. Xpress. The following lists the driving opportunities
offered by each SBU.
Solo Truckload
The Solo SBU’s main focus is on loads from city to city covering
400-450 miles per driver per day. The primary areas of operation will be
east of interstates 29 and 35 and the 11 western states. When possible, we
strive to assign drivers to freight between specified cities. Solo drivers
are selected based on the area in which they are domiciled, service
performance, safety history, as well as home time and mileage needs.
There is a strong need for experienced drivers in this SBU; however,
there are also a large number of trainee opportunities available in the Solo
Fleet.

Teams
U.S. Xpress is one of the largest team expedited providers in the
industry. If you want the flexibility to travel all 48 states and Canada,
you may want to consider the opportunities that U.S. Xpress provides
for team drivers. We have customers from coast to coast and all points
in between. The team SBU’s main goal is to provide premium service
anytime, anywhere in the country for deliveries of typically 1,000 miles
or more.
Team drivers are selected based on driving experience, service
performance and safety history. Team opportunities also include
scheduled runs, which provide the consistency of operating in the same
lanes and dealing with the same customers on a week-to-week basis.
Scheduled runs are available for drivers with a proven performance
record at U.S. Xpress.
Dedicated

The Dedicated SBU’s main focus is on running freight from a
customer’s distribution center to their retail stores or running round-trip
freight from a supplier to manufacturer. Dedicated drivers are selected
based on service performance, safety history and seniority. Opportunities
within this SBU include steady home time, wages and freight
consistency. Some customers may require drivers to unload freight on a
regular basis.
