Intermodal

The Intermodal division allows U.S. Xpress to expand its
market, offer customers consistent and reliable service, capture peak
opportunities with capacity, and reduce operational costs. Rail “drayage”
and shuttle drivers will be selected based on their domicile location and
service performance. Drivers from all SBU’s are utilized to supplement
the drayage group.

Demand Critical
The Demand Critical SBU’s main focus is to provide a specialized
time-critical service to customers. Demand Critical provides more than
just a one-time solution for our customers. Demand Critical’s goal is
to set new standards for service, reliability, and overall value by being
strategically positioned to provide a premium service throughout North
America. On occasion, drivers will be asked to do special assignments for
Demand Critical.

Driver Status
A driver’s status is the position held in the Company by that driver.
The driver status determines a driver’s pay, hometime opportunities, and
transfer eligibility.

First Seat Driver
A first seat driver is a driver that has no Company-placed restrictions.
This driver can drive for any SBU (except Teams) and can apply to be a
driver trainer (after spending the appropriate amount of time with U.S.
Xpress).
Team Drivers

Team Drivers perform a crucial service for U.S. Xpress, primarily
in the time-definite and expedited service niches. A team consists of two
drivers that can operate the truck in intervals. Each team driver will be
paid separately by individual experience.

Finishing Trainee
A Finishing Trainee is a driver that is hired as a student driver in the
Finishing Program. Depending on experience, a Trainee may be required
to complete a specified amount of hours behind-the-wheel training once
they have completed the orientation process.
Upon satisfactory completion of the training, the trainee will be
given a written and road test in order to be upgraded to a probationary
first seat driver. Finishing trainees do not have time off available that can
be taken during the training program.
