The following communications relate to the proposed acquisition of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") by Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Knight-Swift"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 20, 2023, by and among the Company, Knight-Swift and Liberty Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Knight-Swift.

**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: <u>Knight-Swift Transportation Agrees to Acquire U.S. Xpress Enterprises for $6.15 Per Share \| Business Wire</u>.

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

President & Chief Executive Officer Fuller

**USX Transaction 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: <u>Knight-Swift Transportation Agrees to Acquire U.S. Xpress Enterprises for $6.15 Per Share \| Business Wire</u>.

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.

I want to highlight a few key points:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· It will be business as usual for you and our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· U.S. Xpress will continue to operate as a separate brand from its locations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You will keep your driver manager, shop locations, and pay package.

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.

We understand you may have questions about this announcement and what it means for you, and we are committed to keeping you informed. I have attached an FAQ that we hope will help address some of your immediate questions.

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

Sincerely,

Eric Fuller

President & Chief Executive Officer

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.

I want to highlight a few key points:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· It will be business as usual for you and our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· TOTAL will continue to operate as a separate brand from its locations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· You will keep your driver manager, shop locations, and pay package.

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 have attached an FAQ that we hope will help address any immediate questions you may have.

Thank you for your continued hard work. I hope you share my excitement about what's ahead for TOTAL.

Sincerely,

Craig Savell

President & Chief Executive Officer, TOTAL Transportation of Mississippi
