Item
                1.01
Entry
                into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Covenant
                Transportation Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"),
                is a
                party to an accounts receivable securitization facility.  On
                December 4, 2007, the Company and CVTI Receivables Corp. ("CVTI
                Receivables"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a
                bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity organized under the laws
                of
                Nevada, entered into certain amendments to the securitization facility,
                including (i) Amendment No. 14 to Loan Agreement, dated December
                4, 2007,
                among Three Pillars Funding LLC, as lender, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey,
                Inc., as administrator, CVTI Receivables, as borrower, and the Company,
                as
                master servicer, and (ii) Second Amended and Restated Lender Note
                dated
                December 4, 2007 in the principal amount of $60,000,000 (together,
                the
                amendments described in clauses (i) and (ii), the "Securitization
                Facility
                Amendments").
Under
                the receivables securitization facility, the Company, through certain
                of
                its subsidiaries, sells accounts receivable to CVTI receivables as
                part of
                a two-step process that provides funding similar to a revolving credit
                facility.  Prior to the Securitization Facility Amendments, the
                receivables securitization facility was scheduled to terminate on
                December
                4, 2007.  The Securitization Facility Amendments (i) extended
                the scheduled commitment termination date to December 2, 2008, (ii)
                reduced the facility limit from $70,000,000 to $60,000,000, (iii)
                tightened certain performance ratios required to be maintained with
                respect to accounts receivable including, the default ratio, the
                delinquency ratio, the dilution ratio, and the accounts receivable
                turnover ratio, and (iv) amended the master servicer event of default
                relating to cross-defaults on material indebtedness with the effect
                that
                such master servicer event of default may now be more readily
                triggered.
CVTI
                Receivables pays interest on all borrowings under the receivables
                securitization facility at commercial paper rates, plus an applicable
                margin.  CVTI Receivables also pays a commitment fee on the
                daily, unused portion of the facility.  The borrowings are
                secured by, and paid down through collections on, the accounts receivable
                purchased by CVTI Receivables from certain of the Company's
                subsidiaries.  The receivables securitization facility is
                reflected as a current liability because the term, subject to annual
                renewals, runs until December 2, 2008.
The
                receivables securitization facility requires that certain performance
                ratios be maintained with respect to accounts receivable and that
                CVTI
                Receivables preserve its bankruptcy remote nature.  The
                receivables securitization facility includes usual and customary
                events of
                default for facilities of this nature and provides that, upon the
                occurrence and continuation of an event of default, payment of all
                amounts
                under the receivables securitization facility may be accelerated
                and the
                lender's commitments may be terminated.
This
                description of the Securitization Facility Amendments does not purport
                to
                be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
                full text

                not involving the issuance of certificates and provides that shares
                of the
                corporation shall be represented by certificates, provided that the
                Board
                of Directors may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or
                all of
                any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated
                shares.  The Board of Directors adopted Amendment No. 1 to
                comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(l), which includes the
                requirement that securities listed on Nasdaq be eligible for direct
                registration by January 1, 2008.
