U.S. Xpress offer customers a broad portfolio of services using its own truckload fleet and third-party carriers through a non-asset-based truck brokerage network. As of March 31, 2018, its fleet consisted of roughly 6,800 tractors and approximately 16,000 trailers, including about 1,300 tractors provided by independent contractors. All of its tractors have been equipped with electronic logs since 2012, and its systems and network are engineered for compliance with the recent federal electronic log mandate. The terminal network and information technology infrastructure are established and capable of handling significantly larger volumes without meaningful additional investment.
The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay its debt as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
