Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
              Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") of U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
              approved grants of restricted Class A common stock and performance restricted stock units ("PRSUs") to the Company's named executive officers under the Company's Amended and Restated 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan"), with the
              following target values:
Named Executive Officer
Total Equity Grant
Restricted Stock
PRSUs
Eric Fuller
$1,050,000
$525,000

$181,522.50
$181,522.50
Max Fuller
$300,000
$150,000
$150,000
The grant to Mr. Eric Fuller was approved by the Committee on February 24, 2023. The grants to Messrs. Peterson and Max Fuller were approved
                    by the Committee on February 22, 2023. The values in the table above are target award amounts and actual grant values at target may differ based on the stock price and/or Monte-Carlo valuation used to determine the number of shares
                    granted.
The number of shares of restricted stock granted to each recipient was determined using a floor price of $2.94 per share.
The restricted stock vests in four approximately equal installments on each of March 15, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027, and is subject to certain
                  vesting, forfeiture, and termination provisions.
Between 0% and 200% of the PRSUs are eligible to vest based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to certain peers over a
                    performance period of January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025. The PRSUs are subject to certain other vesting, forfeiture, and termination provisions.
On February 22, 2023, the Committee adopted a short-term cash incentive plan (the "2023 STIP") under the Omnibus Plan. Under the 2023 STIP,
                    participants, including the Company's named executive officers, are eligible to earn an annual payout based on achievement relative to performance goals weighted as follows for Messrs. Eric Fuller, Peterson, and Max Fuller: Company
                    consolidated adjusted operating ratio (35%); comparison of the spread between Company consolidated adjusted operating ratio and that of certain peers (35%); Department of Transportation preventable accidents per million miles (15%); and
                    Company preventable accidents per million miles (15%).
The annual target as a percentage of base salary under the 2023 STIP for each of Messrs. Eric Fuller, Peterson, and Max Fuller was set at
                    78.95%, 75.00%, and 20.00%, respectively. The participants may earn a payout of between 0% and 200% of their respective target based on the level of achievement of the performance goals, provided that the potential payout for Mr. Max
                    Fuller is capped at 20% of his base salary.
On February 24, 2023, the Committee changed Mr. Eric Fuller's base salary from $750,000 to $950,000 and his equity grant target from $1,250,000 to
                  $1,050,000.
