U.S. Xpress Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: USX), the nation’s fifth
largest asset-based truckload carrier by revenue, today announced
the Company has been named a finalist in the 2019 Stevie® Awards
for Great Employers, for its new Professional Driver Development
program. U.S. Xpress is the only finalist from the trucking
industry to be nominated in the “Workforce Development and
Learning” category.
The Stevie Awards for Great Employers recognizes the world’s
best employers and the human resources professionals, teams,
achievements, HR-related products and suppliers who help create and
sustain great work environments across a number of categories.
Over the last year, the Professional Driver Development program
at U.S. Xpress has undergone a complete transformation,
transitioning from a traditional classroom-style short-term program
to an advanced multi-platform ongoing career development
curriculum. The program utilizes best-in-class learning and
development principles to provide U.S. Xpress drivers with the
knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for a lifetime (and
millions of miles) of successful driving.
“It is an honor to be recognized for our ongoing commitment to
our employees’ career-long learning,” commented Amanda Thompson,
Chief People Officer, U.S. Xpress. “Our Professional Driver
Development program offers our drivers long-term training which,
ultimately, empowers them to provide a higher, more efficient level
of service to our customers.”
More than 600 nominations from organizations in 24 nations were
submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of HR-related
categories, including Achievement in Workplace Safety &
Compliance, Employer of the Year, Chief Human Resources Officer of
the Year, Human Resources Team of the Year, and Employee Relations
Solution Provider of the Year. Other finalists include IBM
Corporation, DHL Express Mexico, Hormel Foods, Cisco and Dell
Technologies Education Services.
All finalists will ultimately be named Gold, Silver, or Bronze
Stevie Award winners at the gala ceremony in New York on September
20, 2019. Additional details about the Stevie Awards for Great
Employers and the list of 2019 Stevie finalists are available at
