Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
                  Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 23, 2022, 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
$1,250,000
$1,000,000
$250,000
Eric Peterson
$363,045
$290,436
$72,609
Max Fuller
$300,000
$240,000
$60,000
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 $4.50 per share.
The restricted stock vests in four approximately equal installments on each of March 15, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, 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, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The PRSUs are subject to certain other vesting, forfeiture, and termination provisions.
On February 23, 2022, the Committee adopted a short-term cash incentive plan (the "2022 STIP") under the Omnibus Plan. Under
                the 2022 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:
                preventable accidents per million miles (10%); Variant revenue per seated truck (20%); Variant seated truck count (20%); Brokerage operating ratio (20%); Dedicated adjusted operating ratio (20%); and Company consolidated adjusted operating
                ratio (10%).
The annual target as a percentage of base salary under the 2022 STIP for each of Messrs. Eric Fuller, Peterson, and Max
                Fuller was set at 100%, 75%, and 20%, 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.
