                            Mrs. Parker have been transferring certain of their shares of Class A common stock as part of estate planning transactions to trusts with independent trustees. These transfers caused Mr. and Mrs. Parker to drop below 1/3 of the

                            Parker, as well as any repurchases or transactions that may reduce the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock of the Company, could <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">cause Mr. and Mrs.
                              Parker to cross back over 1/3 of the combined voting power of the Company and therefore invoke the Control Statutes. The Board of Directors (the &#8220;Board&#8221;) of the Company believes that the nullification of voting rights of Mr.
                              and Mrs. Parker under these circumstances would be unfair and unequitable. Given Mr. Parker&#8217;s service as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Board further believes that stockholder value is best aligned when Mr. Parker
                              has voting rights in all Company shares held. Therefore, on August 4, 2021, the Board adopted the Sixth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the &#8220;Bylaws&#8221;) to add Article VI, Section 7, which provides that the Control
                              Statutes</span> shall not apply to an acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by Mr. and Mrs. Parker or their affiliates.</div>

Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
David Parker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Covenant Logistics Group, Inc., a
                              Nevada corporation (the "Company")
, together with his spouse, Jacqueline Parker, historically have held more than 1/3 of the combined voting power of the Company's Class A and B common stock. Beginning in 2019, Mr. and
                            Mrs. Parker have been transferring certain of their shares of Class A common stock as part of estate planning transactions to trusts with independent trustees. These transfers caused Mr. and Mrs. Parker to drop below 1/3 of the
                            combined voting power of the Company.
Pursuant to
the
"Acquisition of Controlling Interest" statutes set forth in Sections
                            78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "Control Statutes"), if a person acquires a controlling interest in the Company
(defined in Nevada
                              Statutes Section 78.3785 as ownership of voting securities to exercise voting power in the election of directors in excess of 1/5, 1/3, or a majority thereof), the voting rights of such person in excess of the applicable
                              threshold would be nullified.
Future estate planning and other transactions by Mr. and Mrs. Parker, including the receipt of customary annuity payments in shares from grantor retained annuity trusts established by Mr.
                            Parker, as well as any repurchases or transactions that may reduce the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock of the Company, could
cause Mr. and Mrs.
                              Parker to cross back over 1/3 of the combined voting power of the Company and therefore invoke the Control Statutes. The Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company believes that the nullification of voting rights of Mr.
                              and Mrs. Parker under these circumstances would be unfair and unequitable. Given Mr. Parker's service as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Board further believes that stockholder value is best aligned when Mr. Parker
                              has voting rights in all Company shares held. Therefore, on August 4, 2021, the Board adopted the Sixth Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws") to add Article VI, Section 7, which provides that the Control
                              Statutes
shall not apply to an acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by Mr. and Mrs. Parker or their affiliates.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the Bylaws, a copy of which is attached
                            hereto as Exhibit 3.2.
