Primary capabilities in expedited, dedicated, warehousing, and managed freight transportation are executed through a unique blend of management systems and through employees empowered by a unique values-based corporate culture. At the heart of the Covenant narrative are its people. This tale stretches back over 37 years, originating in 1986 when our founders, David and Jacqueline Parker, launched Covenant Transport with just 25 trucks and 50 trailers.

Our narrative is one of unwavering commitment, encompassing expedited, temperature-controlled, dedicated, and managed transportation services. It's also a tale of goods in motion, mirroring the ever-evolving landscape of the American economy and the shifting needs and preferences of the American populace since the mid-1980s.
