   A big part of the decision for adding GPS navigation to its cabs was to retain and attract drivers, says Jeff Seibenhener, vice president of information technology for U.S Xpress. Overall operational efficiency was another factor, he says, as the fleet anticipates that drivers no longer will waste time and fuel searching for addresses.

   Seibenhener said that U.S. Xpress staff personnel tested CoPilot extensively on business and personal trips before installing the application on company trucks. "We tried to get lost," he said, "but so far no one has been able to."
   
   Seibenhener further explained that U.S. Xpress chose to implement CoPilot for overall operational efficiency, and specifically to better utilize driver time and fuel use.
