    If US Xpress is so big why don't they have a flatbed division ?

    Maybe they're not that big, you just keep seeing the 3 trucks they have over and over. Or just maybe they have a flatbed division, but it's stealth. Or perhaps methinks you should ask USX........

    Because strapping, chaining, and tarping is tougher than shutting the doors on a box of tampons. Get my drift?

    I'll bet money they have a small fleet that does, or at least they have done it in the past. Or I wonder if their Ltl division Xpress globabl systems does ?

    I've seen all sorts of weird stuff on the road , like Swift,Werner,Covenant,Link America and Arnold pulling flatbed trailers.. I've seen Covenant pulling tankers out of Hutchins Texas,, Saw Knight pulling it's own company doubles, Saw swift and navajo/digby pulling rocky mountain doubles in Utah, When I was at Covenant we pulled Estes doubles for a month..I've seen Swift in Oregon with those 3 axle tractors and 4 axle heavy trailers .. Swift cab over car haulers.. schneider pulling family dollar doubles

    It's weird when you see these things on the road , you have to look 3 times to make sure you're not seeing things
