Injury Management

We believe that our success is tied to the safety and health of each
of our employees. For this reason, we ask that you take every available
precaution to ensure that you are not injured while on the job. This means
thinking about each act that you do each and every day.
A work related injury can be costly to a driver in terms of the miles
missed and money lost. Worker’s compensation benefits are capped in
all states, and in most states the maximum weekly benefit is significantly
below what you can earn in a week of driving. Further, because drivers
are regulated by the Department of Transportation, many injuries (even
minor ones) can permanently deprive a driver of his CDL by preventing
him from passing a DOT physical. It is in your best interest to remain
injury-free.
In the unfortunate event that you have a work related injury,
you MUST report the injury immediately to the Risk Management
Department by calling 1-800-601-5500. This number is answered
24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year. Unless you
are prevented from reporting your injury to the Risk Management
Department due to the nature of your injury, U.S. Xpress policy requires
you report such an injury immediately upon its occurrence. This means
you must report it at the time it occurs or the next stop. DO NOT
DELAY!
The Risk Management Department will take down the information
on your injury and instruct you on where to seek medical treatment.
In the event of a life-threatening condition, please seek emergency
treatment immediately and provide the emergency personnel the number
