through payroll deductions at the rate of $50 per week until the
total maintenance fee of $500 is collected.
3. Drivers will be required to pay a $10 weekly fee to have a pet on
the truck in addition to the non-refundable maintenance fee.
4. Copies of your pet’s shot record must be kept in the truck at
all times. A copy of the shot record must also be sent in to the
Safety Department.
5. Your pet must be kept on a leash when outside of the truck. Pets
are not allowed out of the truck at a customer facility or inside
any of the Company Service Centers or other facilities.
6. Pets must be taken out of truck when inside a Service Center.
(Pets are not allowed anywhere in the shop).

7. Cats must be de-clawed on their front paws.
8. Aggressive dog breeds (such as pit bulls or bull terriers) are
prohibited. However, if your pet displays aggressive behavior at
any time, U.S. Xpress will require that the animal be removed
from the truck, and the pet maintenance fee will be forfeited.
9. If you switch trucks, you must have your truck inspected so
that the $500 Pet Maintenance Fee can be rolled over to your
new truck, provided that no damage is found. If there was
damage to the truck (to include air conditioning repair caused
by clogged filters and evaporators due to pet hair) or if the truck
requires additional cleaning due to your pet, that amount will
be deducted from your Pet Maintenance Fee. The remainder
of the balance will then be applied to your new truck. Since
the pet maintenance fee must be maintained at $500, you
will be required to replace any funds deducted from your Pet
Maintenance Fee for damage or cleaning. Excessive damage
could lead to your pet authorization being denied or revoked.
Also, the mattress should be taken with you each time you
change trucks. You will be required to replace any funds missing
from your Pet Maintenance Fee in order to maintain a $500
balance.
