                to the securitization facility, including (i) Amendment No. 11 to
                Loan
                Agreement, dated October 20, 2006, among Three Pillars Funding LLC,
                as
                lender, SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., as administrator, CVTI
                Receivables, as borrower, and the Company, as master servicer, and
                (ii)
                Amendment and Joinder Agreement to Receivables Purchase Agreement,
                dated
                October 20, 2006, among Covenant Transport, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
                ("Covenant"), Southern Refrigerated Transport, Inc., an Arkansas
                corporation ("Southern Refrigerated"), CVTI Receivables, Covenant
                Transport Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Solutions"), and
                Star
                Transportation, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Star") (together,
                the
                amendments described in clauses (i) and (ii), the "Securitization
                Facility
                Amendments").</font></div>
              <div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify">&#160;</div>
              <div style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN-LEFT: 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0pt" align="justify"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">Under
                the securitization facility, the Company, through certain of its
                subsidiaries, sells accounts receivable as part of a two-step process
                that
                provides funding similar to a revolving credit facility. Prior to
                entering
                into the Securitization Facility Amendments, CVTI Receivables purchased
                accounts receivable solely from Covenant and Southern Refrigerated,
                as
                originators, and funded these purchases with money borrowed under
                a credit
                facility with Three Pillars Funding, LLC. Pursuant to the Securitization
                Facility Amendments, Solutions and Star joined the securitization
                facility
                as additional originators, permitting CVTI Receivables to purchase
                accounts receivable from these subsidiaries of the Company as well
                as from
                Covenant and Southern Refrigerated. The Securitization Facility Amendments
                also effected an increase in the amount that the Company, through
                CVTI
                Receivables, can borrow under the securitization facility, from $62
                million to $70 million, subject to eligible receivables. CVTI Receivables
                pays interest on such borrowings based on commercial paper interest
                rates,
                plus an applicable margin, and 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 the originators. The securitization facility is
                reflected
                as a current liability because the term, subject to annual renewals,
                runs
                until December 5, 2006.</font></div>

                securitization facility requires that certain performance ratios
                be
                maintained with respect to accounts receivable and that CVTI Receivables
                preserve its bankruptcy remote nature. The 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 securitization facility
                may
                be accelerated and the lender's commitments may be
                terminated.</font></div>

Item
                1.01
Entry
                into a Material Definitive Agreement
Amendment
                to Securitization Facility
Covenant
                Transport, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), is a party
                to an
                accounts receivable securitization facility. On October 20, 2006,
                the
                Company and certain of its subsidiaries, including CVTI Receivables
                Corp.
                ("CVTI Receivables"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and
                a
                bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity, entered into certain amendments
                to the securitization facility, including (i) Amendment No. 11 to
                Loan
                Agreement, dated October 20, 2006, among Three Pillars Funding LLC,
                as
                lender, SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc., as administrator, CVTI
                Receivables, as borrower, and the Company, as master servicer, and
                (ii)
                Amendment and Joinder Agreement to Receivables Purchase Agreement,
                dated
                October 20, 2006, among Covenant Transport, Inc., a Tennessee corporation
                ("Covenant"), Southern Refrigerated Transport, Inc., an Arkansas
                corporation ("Southern Refrigerated"), CVTI Receivables, Covenant
                Transport Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("Solutions"), and
                Star
                Transportation, Inc., a Tennessee corporation ("Star") (together,
                the
                amendments described in clauses (i) and (ii), the "Securitization
                Facility
                Amendments").
Under
                the securitization facility, the Company, through certain of its
                subsidiaries, sells accounts receivable as part of a two-step process
                that
                provides funding similar to a revolving credit facility. Prior to
                entering
                into the Securitization Facility Amendments, CVTI Receivables purchased
                accounts receivable solely from Covenant and Southern Refrigerated,
                as
                originators, and funded these purchases with money borrowed under
                a credit
                facility with Three Pillars Funding, LLC. Pursuant to the Securitization
                Facility Amendments, Solutions and Star joined the securitization
                facility
                as additional originators, permitting CVTI Receivables to purchase
                accounts receivable from these subsidiaries of the Company as well
                as from
                Covenant and Southern Refrigerated. The Securitization Facility Amendments
                also effected an increase in the amount that the Company, through
                CVTI
                Receivables, can borrow under the securitization facility, from $62
                million to $70 million, subject to eligible receivables. CVTI Receivables
                pays interest on such borrowings based on commercial paper interest
                rates,
                plus an applicable margin, and 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 the originators. The securitization facility is
                reflected
                as a current liability because the term, subject to annual renewals,
                runs
                until December 5, 2006.
The
                securitization facility requires that certain performance ratios
                be
                maintained with respect to accounts receivable and that CVTI Receivables
                preserve its bankruptcy remote nature. The 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 securitization facility
                may
                be accelerated and the lender's commitments may be
                terminated.
Amendment
                to Company's Credit Facility
On
                October 20, 2006, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4, Consent
                and
                Limited Waiver to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October
                20,
                2006 (the "Company Credit Facility Amendment"), with Bank of America,
                N.A.
                and the other banks signatory thereto (collectively, the "Lenders"),
                amending the Company's revolving credit facility. Pursuant to the
                Company
                Credit Facility Amendment, the Lenders (i) consented to the Securitization
                Facility Amendments, (ii) waived the default that otherwise would
                have
                occurred under the Company's revolving credit facility as a result
                of the
                Company's incursion of approximately $3 million of purchase money
                liens in
                excess of what otherwise would have been permitted under the Company's
                revolving credit facility, and (iii) waived the default that otherwise
                would have occurred because of the Company's failure to cause Solutions
                to
                timely join the Company's other subsidiaries as a guarantor of the
                Company's revolving credit facility and to pledge Solution's stock
                as
                additional collateral in support of the Company's obligations under
                the
                Company's revolving credit facility.
Amendment
                to Star's Credit Facility
In
                connection with the Securitization Facility Amendments, Star entered
                into
                a Fourteenth Amendment, Consent and Limited Waiver to Loan Agreement
                and
                Amendment to Security Agreement (the "Fourteenth Amendment"), which
                amended that certain Loan Agreement dated March 1, 2000, between
                Star and
                Bank of America, N.A. (the "Star Loan Agreement"). Pursuant to the
                Fourteenth Amendment, Bank of America, N.A. released its lien on
                the
                accounts receivable and related collateral to be sold by Star to
                CVTI
                Receivables under the securitization facility. Bank of America, N.A.
                also
                waived the default that otherwise would have occurred under the Star
                Loan
                Agreement because of an advance made by Bank of America, N.A. to
                Star in
                the amount of approximately $807 thousand, which amount was repaid
                in
                connection with the Fourteenth Amendment.
