    Wait, I thought there was no more BS?
    Sounds to me like the same old BS of safely picking up and delivering on time is the new rule.....or old rule.
    Here's another hint:
    If you have 150% driver turnover, you have an operations problem; a serious one.

    Their own slide show stated "...the turnover rate in the second quarter was 150% after coming in at 148% in Q1 and 74% in Q2 of 2021. It then trended up to 81% and 95%, respectively, in the final two quarters of 2021 before blowing out this year."

    Putting those in order, from Q2 21 to Q2 22, it would read 74%, 81%, 95%, 148% and 150%. Its a sinking ship.

    They still claim in their advertising they have 1/5 the industry average turnover rate, though, so that's them claiming the average is 750%... or they are just lying through their teeth.

    Here's the link: U.S. Xpress shows no marked improvement at Variant
