	(2)	Includes shares of Class B common stock subject to a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) by and among Max L. Fuller, Janice Fuller, Fuller Family Enterprises, William Eric Fuller (“Eric Fuller”), Max L. Fuller 2008 Irrevocable Trust FBO William E. Fuller, Max Fuller Family Limited Partnership, Lisa M. Pate, Anna Marie Quinn 2012 Irrevocable Trust FBO Lisa M. Pate (the “Pate Trust”), and Quinn Family Partners, L.P. (“Quinn Family Partners” and together with the Pate Trust, the “Pate Entities”). FSBSPE 1, FSBSPE 2, and FSBSPE 3 joined the Voting Agreement on September 17, 2019. Under the Voting Agreement, each of Messrs. Eric Fuller and Max Fuller and Mses. Pate and Janice Fuller have granted a successor the right to exercise all of the voting and consent rights of all Class B common stock beneficially owned by him or her upon his or her death or incapacity. Mr. Eric Fuller and Ms. Janice Fuller have each initially designated Mr. Max Fuller as his or her proxy and Mr. Max Fuller and Ms. Pate have each initially designated Mr. Eric Fuller as his or her proxy, in each case, if and for so long as such person remains qualified. To be qualified to serve as a successor, the potential successor must both (i) be active in the management of U.S Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (the “Issuer”) or serving on the Issuer's Board of Directors at the time of and during the period of service as successor and (ii) own (or hold) shares of Class B common stock or be the beneficiary of a trust or other entity that holds Class B common stock on behalf of the potential successor at the time of and during the period of service as a successor. For each of Messrs. Eric Fuller and Max Fuller and Mses. Pate and Janice Fuller, if no successor is qualified at the time of death or incapacity, then there will be no successor under the Voting Agreement. Additionally, during the term of the Voting Agreement, any voting control Ms. Janice Fuller would otherwise have with respect to shares of Class B common stock covered by the Voting Agreement will be exercised by Mr. Max Fuller until his death or incapacity, and then will pass in the order of succession under the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement will continue in effect until the earliest of the following: (i) 15 years from the date of the Voting Agreement, (ii) none of Messrs. Eric Fuller and Max Fuller and Mses. Pate and Janice Fuller holds Class B common stock, (iii) at such time as no individual named as a successor is qualified to be a successor and (iv) the Voting Agreement is terminated by all parties to the Voting Agreement. On March 23, 2023, Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities voluntarily converted all shares of Class B common stock held by them to an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. As only shares of Class B common stock are subject to the Voting Agreement, Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities no longer have any obligations under the Voting Agreement. Accordingly, Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group in connection with the Voting Agreement and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 9.

	(3)	Includes (i) 121,692 shares of restricted Class A common stock held directly by Mr. Max Fuller, (ii) 99,396 shares of Class A common stock held directly by Mr. Max Fuller, (iii) 58,645 options to purchase Class A common stock held directly by Mr. Max Fuller, and (iv) 399,978 shares of Class B common stock held directly by Mr. Max Fuller.

	(4)	Includes (i) 1,658,482 shares of Class A common stock held by Fuller Family Enterprises, (ii) 2,753,926 shares of Class B common stock held by FSBSPE 1, (iii) 2,753,925 shares of Class B common stock held by FSBSPE 2, and (iv) 2,753,925 shares of Class B common stock held by FSBSPE 3.

	(5)	Includes shares of Class A and Class B common stock the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own as part of a group in connection with the Voting Agreement. On March 23, 2023, Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities voluntarily converted all shares of Class B common stock held by them to an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. As only shares of Class B common stock are subject to the Voting Agreement, Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities no longer have any obligations under the Voting Agreement. Accordingly, Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group in connection with the Voting Agreement and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 9.

	(6)	The Issuer has both Class A and Class B common stock. The Class A common stock has one vote per share. The Class B common stock has five votes per share while beneficially owned by Messrs. Max Fuller and Eric Fuller and Ms. Pate (collectively, the "Qualifying Stockholders") and certain trusts for the benefit of any of them or their family members or certain entities owned by any of them or their family members. A holder of Class B common stock may convert its Class B common stock into Class A common stock at any time at the ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each share of Class B common stock. Class B common stock immediately and automatically converts into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock if any person other than the Qualifying Stockholders (or certain trusts for the benefit of any of them or their family members or certain entities owned by any of them or their family members), obtains beneficial ownership of such shares. As reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023, there were 36,106,925 shares of Class A common stock and 15,777,083 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of February 17, 2023. Furthermore, collectively the parties to the Voting Agreement have (i) 581,702 shares of restricted Class A common stock, (ii) 252,171 options to purchase Class A common stock, and (iii) 119,994 shares of Class B common stock that were acquired from the vesting of Class B restricted stock units after February 17, 2023. Additionally, (i) 300,000 shares of Class B common stock sold by the Pate Trust on March 22, 2023 automatically converted to Class A common stock upon sale and (ii) Ms. Pate and the Pate Entities voluntarily converted 2,483,913 shares of Class B common stock to an equal number of shares of Class A common stock on March 23, 2023. As a result of the two-class structure, the aggregate amount of common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person represents approximately 65.0% of the voting power of all outstanding Issuer stock.
