U.S. Xpress (NYSE: USX) first-quarter earnings release and subsequent conference call with analysts gave CEO Eric Fuller an opportunity to start putting some numbers on the impact of its Variant initiative, a truckload carrier inside a truckload carrier.
One number that was not released for Variant: an operating ratio. But for what is believed to be the first time since the tech-driven alternative to U.S. Xpress legacy business was announced last year, a figure on mileage was provided.
Variant s first-quarter utilization was 1,815 average revenue miles per tractor per week, the company said. But utilization if weather-impacted February was stripped out was 1,864 miles. Other unspecified operating metrics held stable, Fuller said on the call Thursday, according to a transcript provided by SeekingAlpha.

We’re seeing the emergence of four, and only four, A players in the market for hyperscale cloud computing services.
For the combined infrastructure as a service and platform as a service market, only Amazon Web Services Inc., Microsoft Corp. with Azure, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google Cloud Platform have the resources, momentum and stamina to outperform all the others indefinitely.
Combined, we believe these companies will generate more than $115 billion in 2021 IaaS and PaaS revenue. That’s a substantial chunk of market opportunity that is growing in the mid-30% range this year.

WHITLEY COUNTY - The Whitley County Board of Education has entered into a contract with a familiar architectural firm for the building of districtâs future Career and Technical Education (CTE) building.
On Thursday evening, the school board first approved a motion accepting a letter of interest from RossTarrant Architects in building the new CTE building. The letter comes after an advertisement for bid was published by the school district.
Superintendent John Siler said the school district and architectural firm have had a working relationship for more than two decades.
âTheyâre very knowledgable of our district and all of our buildings. Theyâve been the architect on most of our buildings, all the recent buildings over the last 20-25 years,â Siler said. âThey just provide a great service. Theyâre a phone call or an email away,â he added noting how quickly the firm typically responds.
