Covenant Logistics Group traces its roots to 1986 in Chattanooga, where it began as a truckload carrier and steadily expanded into a broader logistics platform. Company materials recount a start with a small fleet and a focus on time-sensitive freight, followed by years of network build-out and service diversification across North American supply chains.
Today the business is organized around four primary capabilities: expedited truckload, dedicated contract transportation, managed freight (brokerage/transportation management), and warehousing. This mix combines asset-based capacity with asset-light solutions so shippers can secure guaranteed equipment while flexing into third-party carrier networks as demand shifts.
Beyond line-haul, Covenant offers 3PL services that include port drayage and transloading, tapping strategic locations and operational tech to move freight from terminals to inland destinations efficiently. The company positions its network for nationwide coverage with service into Canada, supported by terminals and facilities that anchor regional operations and time-critical lanes.
Across its portfolio, Covenant emphasizes data-driven operations and a values-based culture aimed at reliability for time- and temperature-sensitive shipments. Public descriptions consistently present the group as a single provider that can integrate expedited, dedicated, warehousing, and managed services to engineer value-driven supply chains for customers in multiple industries.
