Introductory Note
On September 15, 2022, USA Truck, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), completed the transactions
        contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated June 23, 2022, by and among the Company, Schenker, Inc., a New York corporation ("Parent"), and Tango Merger, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
        subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.
Item 2.01
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of Company common
        stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Company common stock") that was issued and outstanding
, other than shares that were cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the
          Merger Agreement and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), were converted into the right to receive $31.72 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), subject to any applicable withholding taxes.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Company common stock (whether vested or unvested and whether
        exercisable or unexercisable) (each a "Company Stock Option") became fully vested and was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding, of an amount equal to the product
        of (i) the total number of shares of Company common stock underlying each such Company stock option and (ii) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of each such Company stock option.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of restricted stock of the Company (whether vested or unvested) ("restricted stock") became fully vested
        and was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding, of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company common stock underlying each such
        award of restricted stock and (ii) the Merger Consideration.
At the Effective Time, each
outstanding performance stock unit with respect
          to shares of Company common stock (whether vested or unvested) (each a "PSU"), became fully vested and was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment, without interest and subject to applicable tax withholding, of an amount
          equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company common stock underlying each such award of PSU and (ii) the Merger Consideration.
The aggregate consideration paid by Parent in the Merger was approximately $290 million, excluding related transaction fees and expenses. Such
        consideration was funded by Parent with cash on hand.
The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
        Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.01

The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified the NASDAQ Global Select Market ("NASDAQ") on September 15, 2022 of the
        consummation of the Merger and requested that the trading of the Company common stock on NASDAQ be suspended and that the listing of its shares on NASDAQ be withdrawn. The trading in the Company common stock was suspended prior to the opening of
        trading on September 15, 2022. The Company also requested that NASDAQ file with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an application on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Company common stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities
        Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, the Company intends to file with the SEC a Form 15 requesting the deregistration of the Company common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act
        and the suspension of the Company's reporting obligations under Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
