U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc.

High quality data on thousands of trucks enabled U.S. Xpress to dramatically cut gas costs and truck idle time to become greener.

U.S. Xpress is a leading time-definite truckload service provider. The Tennessee-based business operates a fleet of 6,000 tractors and more than 14,000 trailers, and employs 8,000 staff.

Challenges

  • Reduce gas costs and increase operating margins
  • Provide reliable data for accurate decision making
Our chief operating officer recently said to me, 'In my 20 years at U.S. Xpress, it's the first time I've seen data being used the way it should be. IT has done a great job'. And that's coming from someone who's not the greatest fan of IT.
