As
part of the ongoing realignment of the business conducted by the
subsidiaries of Covenant Transport, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(the
"Company"), into four major service offerings, the Company's Board
of
Directors (the "Board") decided to eliminate the position of Chief
Operating Officer effective August 22, 2006. Each manager of a
service
offering will now report directly to David R. Parker, Chairman
of the
Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. As a result of this
change,
Michael W. Miller will serve as Executive Vice President - Procurement
and
Corporate Operations Manager, but will no longer serve as the Company's
Chief Operating Officer. Biographical information regarding Mr.
Parker, a
description of certain transactions between the Company and certain
affiliates of Mr. Parker, and other information required by Item
5.02(c)(2) of Form 8-K are set forth under "Proposal 1—Election of
Directors—Nominees for Directorships" and "Certain Relationships and
Related Transactions" in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement
on
Schedule 14A (File No. 000-24960) filed with the Securities and
Exchange
Commission on April 17, 2006. Such information is incorporated
herein by
