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.

**Knight-Swift Announcement to USX Employees**

**Headline: Hear from members of the Knight-Swift family**

During a town hall with employees, Knight-Swift leadership shared a video message from other companies across their enterprise.

The news of our acquisition by Knight-Swift brought together leaders from both companies and employees across our business for a town hall last week. At that event, leadership shared a video message from people at Knight, Swift, and other companies in their portfolio, including AAA Cooper, Bar-Nunn, Abilene Motor Express, and Eleos Technologies.

Knight-Swift has a long history of retaining the separate brands and operations of the companies in its group, which all continue to serve our industry and maintain their historical locations. After the closing of the transaction with Knight-Swift later this year, U.S. Xpress will continue as a separate brand and operation to minimize disruptions for our professional drivers, shop and office employees, and customers.

**Transcript of Video Message to Employees**

Michelle Lewis

CFO, AAA Cooper speaking:

I feel like since we've become part of the Knight family of companies, there's just a renewed and a greater energy around what we are trying to accomplish.

[MUSIC]

TEXT "THE KNIGHT-SWIFT FAMILY

ACHIEVING MORE TOGETHER"

Rene Beacom

President, Barr-Nunn Transportation speaking:

I think the largest concern immediately following the announcement of the acquisition, was the reaction that we might see from our drivers, from our customers, from our non-drivers, from people that had been associated with the company or had a stake in the organization.

Jim Fitzsimmons

Executive VP of Fleet Operations, Swift Transportation speaking:

And over the years, you know I have been at Swift at that time for about 24 years. We buy a lot of companies, where when we would buy them, we would roll them right into Swift, completely destroy their identify, change their culture. Probably my biggest concern was that Swift was going to basically just become Knight.

Ricky Preito

Million Mile Driver, Swift Transportation speaking:

If our culture was going to be respectable or are they going to respect our values – are they going to change that? I also thought you know, are they going to minimize, are they going to shorten our terminals? Are we going to become smaller as a company?

Victor Ochoa

Million Mile Driver, Swift Transportation speaking:

I was expecting a lot of drastic changes that did not happen.

Alan Jones

President, Abilene Motor Express speaking:

What I heard from Knight is what I think the family wanted to occur you know the fact that Abilene would remain its own brand and would have its own identify. Where you know you kind of have the skepticism is that what you're being told because that's what you want to hear and is it actually going to happen. We had the autonomy to go to Knight and say, "Hey we need help with this? Could you give us advice on this?" The knowledge that we were exposed to both from … you know the financial knowledge I was able to learn from both Dave and Adam you know being involved in that – you know it took us to a whole other level.

Michelle Lewis

CFO, AAA Cooper speaking:

What was communicated to us from the Knight leadership team and the reality after the acquisition – those two things were in sync.

Jim Fitzsimmons

Executive VP of Fleet Operations, Swift Transportation speaking:

The goal was to make Swift a better Swift, and not make it Knight.

Michelle Lewis

CFO, AAA Cooper speaking:

How do we achieve greater things within our own brand and in our own way and Knight is really helping us do that.

Rene Beacom

President, Barr-Nunn Transportation speaking:

I have been with the company for 25 years, 9 of those have been post-Knight since the acquisition. And from that point that that acquire that happened, I believe it increased the potential for our future in virtually every respect.

Reid Dove

President, AAA Cooper speaking:

You know we were a primer and LTL dedicated company, well now we have truckload, we have brokerage, we have intermodal, we have warehousing, we have software, you know technology through Eleos. So we've got all of these different levers that we did not have within AAA Cooper and so when we go see customers, fortunately, we're able to talk about a lot of different services that we can provide for them.

Unidentified Drivers speaking:

I noticed that we have more new trucks and more new trailers.

You know, it's opened up other terminals for us and other shops. You know, it gives the driver more flexibility when getting his truck repaired.

Reid Dove

President, AAA Cooper speaking:

We now have more locations, so if we have a driver you know that AAA Cooper doesn't serve - the West, for instance, so if we have drivers that need to move for whatever reason, for family reason or what have you, we, the operating companies you know we can move people within the operating companies as well, so I think that's been a great benefit.

Rene Beacom

President, Barr-Nunn Transportation speaking:

We get the benefit of being our size company. We get the benefit of having our relationships with our customers. In many ways, we get the best of both worlds. As an independent brand, which is how we function, having our relationships with our drivers backed-up and supported by a larger, stable, very secure and capable organization.

Kevin Survance

CEO, Eleos Technologies speaking:

We love being part of the K&S family. This is a strong and powerful company with a wonderful reputation. It's a wonderful reputation because the executives who lead the company are of good character and they're known for that I believe in the industry. There is a high level of trust and credibility there and we are very, very happy to have our brand, our company and our team to be a part of that.

Jim Fitzsimmons

Executive VP of Fleet Operations, Swift Transportation speaking:

Prior to the merger, we obviously always cared about the driver, but after the merger, that was clearly the #1 goal like was to take care of the driver, and then the rest would fall into place.

Unidentified Driver speaking:

The, our facilities you know and everything has continued to improve and it looks very successful.

Michelle Lewis

CFO, AAA Cooper speaking:

From my perspective, the experience of joining the Knight family of companies has been nothing but extraordinary. I found that we really became part of, at least from my view, really became part of a collaborative team. There were significant bench strengths in all areas of our company that we could rely upon, call upon, when needed. That's proven to be very helpful to our entire team.

Kevin Survance

CEO, Eleos Technologies speaking:

The leadership at Knight-Swift has done everything they said that would do before the deal and I know that's not common.

Rene Beacom

President, Barr-Nunn Transportation speaking:

Everyone we met portrayed a certain culture. I think a certain integrity and a certain respect for people – that's what we saw. Nine years later, that's still there. Even though some of the people are different, some of the relationships are different, that's still there.

Alan Jones

President, Abilene Motor Express speaking:

The willingness to always be available – from the top of the organization down to – you know, how many levels you want to go down …

Jim Fitzsimmons

Executive VP of Fleet Operations, Swift Transportation speaking:

The style of leadership – it's a very common sense, down-to-earth, common sense approach on just about everything.

Alan Jones

President, Abilene Motor Express speaking:

Sometimes I feel like I'm more of a family with the Knight family than I am with the previous ownership of my own family.

Unidentified Driver speaking:

It really is a family here. I lost my son two years ago, and everybody from Cory Webster – I even got a text message from Dave Jackson giving us his condolences. That goes a long way with me.

Reid Dove

President, AAA Cooper speaking:

Being a part of the Knight organization has allowed us to continue that long-standing tradition in our company.

Ricky Preito

Million Mile Driver, Swift Transportation speaking:

At the beginning, I was very skeptical, right now I'm very at ease to tell you that I am proud to continue to work with this Knight-Swift company.
