Item 11.  Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant's Employee
          Benefit Plans.

     Under the  Covenant  Transport,  Inc.  Profit  Sharing  & 401(k)  Plan (the
"Plan"),  SunTrust  will be removed as the Plan's  retirement  plan provider and
replaced by Diversified Investment Advisors, Inc., to be effective July 1, 2004.
Covenant  Transport,  Inc., a Nevada  corporation (the  "Registrant"),  formally
notified its directors and executive officers, as well as the Plan participants,
of this change and of the resulting  blackout  period by mailing written notices
dated May 28, 2004. The Registrant  also furnished a supplemental  notice to its
directors and executive officers on June 8, 2004 (together with the May 28, 2004
notice, the "Notices").

     The Notices  stated that the blackout  period  temporarily  restricts  Plan
participants  from directing and  diversifying  investments in their  individual
accounts or  otherwise  acting  under the Plan (i.e.  no  allocations,  changes,
exchanges,  or  distributions)  and  restricts  the  Registrant's  directors and
executive officers from directly or indirectly purchasing, selling, or otherwise
acquiring or transferring any shares of the  Registrant's  Class A common stock,
$.01 par value,  listed on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol,  "CVTI."
The blackout period is scheduled to commence after the close of business on June
30, 2004, and end during the week of July 25, 2004.

     If there are any  questions  concerning  the contents of the Notices or the
blackout  period,  one should  contact  the  Registrant's  new  retirement  plan
provider,  Diversified Investment Advisors,  Inc., via telephone,  toll-free, at
1-888-676-5512,  or Jon  Huston,  Director  of Human  Resources,  by  mail,  c/o
Covenant Transport, Inc., 400 Birmingham Highway,  Chattanooga, TN 37419, or via
telephone at  1-423-822-4232.  Any  stockholder or other  interested  person may
obtain,  without charge,  the actual  beginning and ending dates of the blackout
period by contacting Diversified  Investment Advisors,  Inc. during the blackout
period  and for a period of two  years  after the  ending  date of the  blackout
period.

     Registrant and the Plan  administrator  confirmed receipt of written notice
on June 1,  2004,  in  satisfaction  of the  notice  requirement  under  Section
101(i)(2)(E)  of the  Employment  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974,  as
amended.

Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

          Not applicable.
