conjunction with the Company's latest annual consolidated financial statements

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1998

1.   ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

     U. S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") provides transportation
services through two subsidiaries. U.S. Xpress, Inc. ("U.S. Xpress") is a
truckload carrier serving the Continental United States, Canada and Mexico.
CSI/Crown, Inc. ("CSI/Crown") provides transportation and logistics services to
the floorcovering industry.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated.

Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment is carried at cost.  Depreciation and amortization
of property and equipment are computed using the straight-line method for
financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets (net of salvage value) as follows:

          Buildings                            10-30 years
          ------------------------------------------------
          Revenue and service equipment          3-7 years
          ------------------------------------------------
          Furniture and equipment                3-7 years
          ------------------------------------------------
          Leasehold improvements                 5-6 years
          ------------------------------------------------

     Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are expensed.  Renewals or
betterments that affect the nature of an asset or increase its useful life are
capitalized.

Contract Wages

     Effective January 1, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with
Employee Solutions, Inc. ("ESI"), a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) in
which the PEO is a co-employer with the Company for substantially all of the
Company's personnel.  The PEO is responsible for processing and administration
of the Company's payroll, including tax reporting, and provides group health
benefits and worker's compensation coverage.  On July 22, 1998, the Company
filed suit against ESI in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Tennessee, at Chattanooga, in an action alleging breach of contract
and seeking contractual and punitive damages.  The complaint alleges that ESI
agreed to perform certain employer organization services for Enterprises,
including administration of programs related to wages, payroll taxes, worker's
compensation, employee benefit programs and other insurance and related
administration services.  Enterprises has alleged that ESI breached its contract
to provide such services and has wrongfully attempted to terminate the contract.
Enterprises seeks declaratory relief against ESI to enforce the contract's
arbitration provisions, and also seeks reimbursement of approximately $545,000
wrongfully withheld 

                                       8

by ESI, and other contractual and punitive damages. Effective August 20, 1998
the contract with ESI will terminate and U.S. Xpress will assume total control
of all payroll. The Company presently believes that the contract termination and
litigation will not have a material adverse impact on the Company.

Fuel Purchase Commitments

     The Company uses both derivative financial instruments and forward purchase
commitments to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in the price of fuel.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company did not have in place any
derivative financial instruments for fuel price protection.  The Company did
utilize fuel purchase commitments ranging from 1,500,000 gallons in January to
1,000,000 gallons in June 1998.  The Company has additional commitments ranging
from 1,000,000 gallons per month in July 1998 to 750,000 gallons per month in
December of 1999 at varying price levels.

Earnings Per Share

     Effective for the period ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS
No. 128"), which changes the criteria for reporting earnings per share ("EPS")
by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS.
All prior EPS data have been restated.  The difference in basic and diluted EPS
is due to the assumed conversion of outstanding options resulting in
approximately 103,000 and 108,000 equivalent shares in the three month period
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 112,000 and 104,000 equivalent
shares in the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Reclassifications

     Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal 1997 financial
statements to conform with the 1998 presentation.

3.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is party to certain legal proceedings incidental to its
business.  The ultimate disposition of these matters, in the opinion of
management, based in part on the advice of legal counsel, will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

     The Company has letters of credit of $4,290,000 outstanding at June 30,
1998.  The letters of credit are maintained primarily to support the Company's
insurance program.

4.   DEBT

     In January, 1998, the Company obtained a new revolving credit facility
providing capacity of up to $200,000,000.  A portion of the availability under
this new line was immediately used to retire the existing line of credit and pay
off other long term indebtedness bearing higher interest rates.  The credit
facility operates as a revolving credit facility until its maturity in January,
2001.  Interest on outstanding borrowings is based the London Interbank Offered
Rate plus applicable margins, as defined in the credit agreement.  The facility
has optional one year extensions, with the agreement of all parties.

     In August 1998 the Company entered into an agreement to increase the
capacity under the line of credit from $200,000,000 to $225,000,000. The other
provisions of the credit facility remain unchanged.

     In February, 1998, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap agreements
providing for the Company to pay a fixed interest rate on $35,000,000 of its
borrowings under the Line of Credit.  The agreements provide for the Company to
pay interest at a rate of approximately 5.72%, plus the applicable credit
margin, for five years.

     Borrowings (including letters of credit) under the Credit Agreement are
limited to the lesser of (a) 90% of the book value of eligible revenue equipment
plus 85% of eligible receivables; or (b) $200,000,000.  At June 30, 1998, $69.7
million of available borrowings were unused under the facility.

     The Credit Agreement contains a number of covenants that limit, among other
things, the payment of dividends, the incurrence of additional debt, and liens
on assets as security for other indebtedness.  The Credit Agreement also
requires the Company to meet certain financial tests, including a minimum amount
of net worth, a minimum amount of fixed charge coverage and a maximum amount of
leverage.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 1998.

Lease on Headquarters

     In March, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement with a financial
institution to provide funding for the construction of a new headquarters
facility.  When completed, the building will contain approximately 100,000
square feet of space for administrative and operating functions of the Company.
It will be located in a commercial park in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The new
building will be leased under an operating lease with an initial term of five
years and providing for mutually agreeable extension terms of up to three years
each.  As of June 30, 1998, approximately $4.5 million had been expended for the
construction of the facility.

     Upon completion of this facility, the Company will consolidate its
administrative and operating functions and terminate its leases at its Market
Street and Shallowford Road facilities also in Chattanooga.  The expected
completion date is December, 1998.

non-union truckload carrier based in Medway, Ohio, for $51 million in cash and

     Some computer systems that use two digits to indicate a year will not be
able to process data properly for the year 2000.  The Company has assessed the
