    David Floyd's questions to COVENANT LOGISTICS GROUP (CVLG) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    David Floyd of the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Inc asked for elaboration on the drivers of record Q2 revenue, the impact of English proficiency rules on driver recruitment, and the company's outlook for the freight market under the current administration's economic policies.

    Answer

    CFO Tripp Grant attributed the record revenue primarily to significant growth in the Dedicated segment's fleet and a nearly $18 million year-over-year increase in Managed Freight revenue. CEO David Parker stated that English proficiency rules do not impact Covenant's recruitment, as it has always been a requirement, and sees it as a positive for the industry via capacity reduction. Parker linked a stronger economy with higher GDP and lower interest rates to increased freight demand, particularly from the housing sector.
