Asset-based truckload carrier with dedicated and logistics divisions across North America
U.S. Xpress operates a 5,000+ person carrier business spanning over-the-road, dedicated fleet, and logistics segments. The tech stack—Kubernetes, AWS, GitHub Actions, Terraform—reflects infrastructure-as-code maturity, but the hiring profile tells a different story: 37 ops roles, 15 logistics, 7 sales, and only 4 engineering spots. Projects cluster around containerization, automation, and compliance (GitHub Actions pipelines, cluster remediation, maintenance audits), while pain points center on operational execution—on-time delivery, driver satisfaction, equipment utilization. This is an ops-first org automating transport logistics, not building software.
U.S. Xpress is a publicly traded carrier founded in 1986 and based in Chattanooga, TN. The company operates three primary business units: an over-the-road division offering solo and expedited truckload solutions across the United States, a Dedicated division providing managed fleet capacity for shippers, and a Logistics division offering freight brokerage and support services for carriers. In 2023, U.S. Xpress became part of Knight-Swift, the industry's largest full-truckload carrier. The company employs 5,001–10,000 people and operates across North America. Active hiring is concentrated in operations and logistics roles, with accelerating velocity over the past 30 days.
