                    Monday, October 24, 2005, Covenant Transport, Inc., a Nevada
                    corporation
                    (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing its financial
                    and
                    operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended
                    September
                    30, 2005, after the close of the market. On Tuesday, October
                    25, 2005, the
                    Company filed the press release on Form 8-K, posted the script
                    for the
                    conference call (the "Conference Call") to its website, and thereafter
                    held the Conference Call to discuss the press release, as well
                    as certain
                    other historical and forward-looking financial and statistical
                    information. In answer to a question, management clarified that
                    for the
                    fourth quarter of 2005 the Company expects its costs to increase
                    $0.02 to
                    $0.03 per mile more than revenue does on a sequential basis versus
                    the
                    third quarter of 2005. This Form 8-K is filed to update and correct
                    the
                    script for the Conference Call, and the updated script is attached
                    to this
                    report as Exhibit 99.1. The Company also has updated the script
                    that is
                    posted on its website. </font></div>

                    of the
                    Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements

                    made based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's
                    management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

                    results or events may differ from those anticipated by forward-looking
                    statements. With respect to our expectations for the remainder
                    of 2005
                    (including but not limited to our expectations regarding rates,

                    well as
                    expectations regarding our ongoing business in general, the following
                    factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially
                    from those in forward-looking statements: a continuation of lower
                    than
                    expected freight volumes and rates from our customers; excess
                    tractor or
                    trailer capacity in the trucking industry; decreased demand for
                    our
                    services or loss of one or more of our major customers; surplus
                    inventories; recessionary economic cycles and downturns in customers'
                    business cycles; strikes, work slow downs, or work stoppages
                    at the
                    Company, customers, ports, or other shipping related facilities;
                    increases
                    or rapid fluctuations in fuel prices, as well as fluctuations
                    in hedging
                    activities and surcharge collection; the volume and terms of
                    diesel

                    license and
                    registration fees; increases in the prices paid for new revenue
                    equipment
                    and changes in the resale value of our used equipment; increases
                    in
                    compensation for and difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified
                    drivers and independent contractors; elevated experience in the
                    frequency
                    and severity of claims relating to accident, cargo, workers'
                    compensation,
                    health, and other claims; increased insurance premiums; fluctuations
                    in
                    claims expenses that result from high self-insured retention
                    amounts and
                    differences between estimates used in establishing and adjusting
                    claims
                    reserves and actual results over time; adverse changes in claims
                    experience and loss development factors; additional changes in
                    management's estimates of liability based upon such experience
                    and
                    development factors; seasonal factors such as harsh weather conditions
                    that increase operating costs; competition from trucking, rail,
                    and
                    intermodal competitors; regulatory requirements that increase
                    costs or
                    decrease efficiency, including revised hours-of-service requirements
                    for
                    drivers; the ability to successfully execute the Company's initiative
                    of
                    improving the profitability of single-driver freight movements;
                    the
                    ability to control increases in operating costs; and the ability
                    to

Regulation
                    FD Disclosure.
On
                    Monday, October 24, 2005, Covenant Transport, Inc., a Nevada
                    corporation
                    (the "Company"), issued a press release announcing its financial
                    and
                    operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended
                    September
                    30, 2005, after the close of the market. On Tuesday, October
                    25, 2005, the
                    Company filed the press release on Form 8-K, posted the script
                    for the
                    conference call (the "Conference Call") to its website, and thereafter
                    held the Conference Call to discuss the press release, as well
                    as certain
                    other historical and forward-looking financial and statistical
                    information. In answer to a question, management clarified that
                    for the
                    fourth quarter of 2005 the Company expects its costs to increase
                    $0.02 to
                    $0.03 per mile more than revenue does on a sequential basis versus
                    the
                    third quarter of 2005. This Form 8-K is filed to update and correct
                    the
                    script for the Conference Call, and the updated script is attached
                    to this
                    report as Exhibit 99.1. The Company also has updated the script
                    that is
                    posted on its website.
The
                    information contained in this report and the exhibit hereto shall
                    not be
                    deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
                    Act
                    of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by
                    reference in
                    any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
                    "Securities
                    Act"), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set
                    forth by
                    specific reference in such a filing.
The
                    information in this report and the exhibit hereto may contain
                    "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
                    of the
                    Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such statements
                    are
                    made based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's
                    management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
                    Actual
                    results or events may differ from those anticipated by forward-looking
                    statements. With respect to our expectations for the remainder
                    of 2005
                    (including but not limited to our expectations regarding rates,
                    average
                    revenue per truck per week, fuel costs, and non-fuel costs) as
                    well as
                    expectations regarding our ongoing business in general, the following
                    factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially
                    from those in forward-looking statements: a continuation of lower
                    than
                    expected freight volumes and rates from our customers; excess
                    tractor or
                    trailer capacity in the trucking industry; decreased demand for
                    our
                    services or loss of one or more of our major customers; surplus
                    inventories; recessionary economic cycles and downturns in customers'
                    business cycles; strikes, work slow downs, or work stoppages
                    at the
                    Company, customers, ports, or other shipping related facilities;
                    increases
                    or rapid fluctuations in fuel prices, as well as fluctuations
                    in hedging
                    activities and surcharge collection; the volume and terms of
                    diesel
                    purchase commitments; interest rates, fuel taxes, tolls, and
                    license and
                    registration fees; increases in the prices paid for new revenue
                    equipment
                    and changes in the resale value of our used equipment; increases
                    in
                    compensation for and difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified
                    drivers and independent contractors; elevated experience in the
                    frequency
                    and severity of claims relating to accident, cargo, workers'
                    compensation,
                    health, and other claims; increased insurance premiums; fluctuations
                    in
                    claims expenses that result from high self-insured retention
                    amounts and
                    differences between estimates used in establishing and adjusting
                    claims
                    reserves and actual results over time; adverse changes in claims
                    experience and loss development factors; additional changes in
                    management's estimates of liability based upon such experience
                    and
                    development factors; seasonal factors such as harsh weather conditions
                    that increase operating costs; competition from trucking, rail,
                    and
                    intermodal competitors; regulatory requirements that increase
                    costs or
                    decrease efficiency, including revised hours-of-service requirements
                    for
                    drivers; the ability to successfully execute the Company's initiative
                    of
                    improving the profitability of single-driver freight movements;
                    the
                    ability to control increases in operating costs; and the ability
                    to
                    identify acceptable acquisition candidates, consummate acquisitions,
                    and
                    integrate acquired operations. Readers should review and consider
                    these
                    factors along with the various disclosures by the Company in
                    its press
                    releases, stockholder reports, and filings with the Securities
                    Exchange
                    Commission.
We
                    disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
                    statements
                    to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting
                    the
                    forward-looking information.
