USX Transaction Non-Driving Employee Letter

Team,

This morning, we announced an agreement under which U.S. Xpress will be acquired by Knight-Swift Transportation, one of North America’s largest and most diversified freight transportation companies. You can read more about the announcement here: Knight-Swift Transportation Agrees to Acquire U.S. Xpress Enterprises for $6.15 Per Share | Business Wire.

Knight-Swift has a long history of retaining the separate brands and operations of the companies in its group – Knight Transportation, Swift Transportation, Barr-Nunn, Abilene, AAA Cooper, and others all continue to serve our industry and maintain their historical locations. This is just one reason I am convinced that joining the Knight-Swift team is an exciting opportunity for our people, our customers, and the communities we call home.

The increased scale, operating expertise and resources of the combined company will allow U.S. Xpress to drive growth and continue serving customers across the United States. We look forward to working with Knight-Swift to pursue new levels of service and efficiency, and we are confident this is the best path forward for our company.

I have spent a great deal of time with the Knight-Swift team in the weeks leading up to this announcement, and it is clear that we share not just common business views, but a deep appreciation for our team. Their interest in U.S. Xpress is a testament to all of your hard work and the reputation you have helped build. They would not have been interested in our company unless they saw the potential for a bright future.

I want to highlight a few key points:

The U.S. Xpress Brand: After the closing of the transaction, U.S. Xpress will continue as a separate brand and operation to minimize disruptions for our driving associates, shop and office employees, and customers.

Leadership: The current leadership team will remain in place through closing. At that time, the U.S. Xpress team will be supplemented by Tim Harrington and Josh Smith, both executives at Swift who gained tremendous experience and insight in the Knight-Swift merger. They will join U.S. Xpress as President and CFO, respectively. Tim and Josh are both exceptional leaders, and I know they are looking forward to meeting the U.S. Xpress team later today. At closing, Max Fuller, Eric Peterson, and I will transition out of our executive roles while remaining available to ensure a smooth transition. We all have confidence that our team is ready to step up and perform.

HQ: Knight-Swift plans to retain U.S. Xpress’ headquarters in Chattanooga, and we are pleased that U.S. Xpress will continue to have an important presence in our community.

As for next steps, this announcement is just the beginning of the process. We expect to complete the transaction late in the second quarter or early third quarter of 2023.

I want to emphasize that we expect U.S. Xpress will continue operating as usual. We will continue to serve the same customers, drivers, and other constituencies that are important to our company – and they all expect and need us to continue to be our best! Please remain focused on your day-to-day responsibilities and executing against our current business objectives.

I look forward to talking more about the announcement at a Town Hall at 11:00 AM ET today. A meeting invite will follow shortly. In the meantime, I have attached an FAQ to help address some of your immediate questions.

Thank you again for your continued hard work. I hope you share my excitement about what’s ahead for U.S. Xpress.

Sincerely,

Eric Fuller
