Driver Finishing Program

The purpose of the Driver Finishing Program is to train an employee
with limited driving experience to become a skilled, professional over
the road truck driver. The student will gain practical experience with a
skilled professional who is available at all times to answer questions and
provide advice from his/her experience as a driver. Our goal is to have an
organized and manageable plan that will fulfill our mission of providing
quality, safe drivers that will contribute to the growth and success of U.S.
Xpress.
If you have one year of over the road experience, have been driving
for U.S. Xpress for at least 30 days, and have a desire to teach others
what you know, give the Finishing Team a call at 800-833-4465 to find
out how you too can become a Driver Trainer.
Sponsorship Program

The Sponsorship Program is designed to allow a Driver Trainer to
train a Driver Trainee with the intent of teaming with the Trainee upon
upgrade. To sponsor a Trainee, the Trainer must be on the U.S. Xpress
e-logs program for a minimum of 30 days prior to beginning training.
Trainees in this program will also have to successfully complete a
specified amount of behind-the-wheel hours and successfully pass both a
written and a road test.
If you are a current U.S. Xpress driver and have a desire to train a
future team partner, please contact the Training Department at (888-833-
4465) for more details on our Sponsorship Program.
