~More Than 100 U.S. Xpress Drivers Enrolled~

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE:USX), the nation’s fifth largest
asset-based truckload carrier, today announced that the Company has 107
drivers enrolled in classes for bachelor’s or master’s degrees from
Ashford University, an accredited online school, as part of its Full
Ride program, launched in September 2018. Additionally, dependents of
U.S. Xpress truck drivers can also enroll in classes from Ashford
University at no cost to the driver or their dependent as part of the
Full Ride initiative. To date, 22 dependents have registered in classes.

Unlike traditional tuition reimbursement programs, students
participating in the U.S. Xpress Full Ride program do not have to pay
the money upfront for college and then later seek reimbursement. The
Full Ride program pays all costs directly to the university, including
tuition, books and course materials, removing any financial barrier for
U.S. Xpress drivers and their families.

“We’re thrilled to offer our drivers an opportunity many didn’t think
was possible,” stated Eric Fuller, CEO and President of U.S. Xpress. “We
are very encouraged by the initial success of the program.”

“I’m currently enrolled and pursuing my Bachelor of Science in
Information Technology,” commented Jaime Mount, Professional Truck
Driver, U.S. Xpress. “I’ve been wanting to go back to school for a while
now to get my bachelor’s degree, and who knows, maybe even my master’s
degree. Thanks to the U.S. Xpress Full Ride program, I can chase that
dream and one day accomplish my goal.”

Experienced professional truck drivers are eligible to participate as
soon as they begin work with U.S. Xpress, and student drivers are
eligible to start taking classes as soon as they have completed their
behind-the-wheel training and are promoted to “first seat” driver. Each
driver may have a total of two family members enrolled in school at one
time (either two dependents or the driver and one dependent). Dependents
must be aged 17 to 26.
