Covenant Transport


David Parker
President

Covenant Transport, Inc. is one of the 10 largest truckload carriers in the United States and operates the industry's largest fleet of team driven tractors. Covenant features just-in-time and other premium transportation services. We focus on select long-haul, dedicated and short-haul regional traffic lanes to enhance equipment utilization, improve operating efficiency and provide the equipment availability demanded by major shippers.

The Company's primary customers include manufacturers, retailers, and other transportation companies. Other transportation companies primarily consist of less than truckload and air freight carriers, third-party freight consolidators, and freight forwarders who seek Covenant's expedited and just-in-time service.

Covenant was founded by David and Jacqueline Parker in 1985 with 25 tractors and 50 trailers. In 19 years of operating, the Company's fleet has grown to 3,752 tractors and 9,255 trailers, with 2004 revenue around $600 million. The Company has completed nine acquisitions since 1996, the last of which was completed in 2000.
