Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. On March 31, 2024, Lynn Doster notified the board of directors (the "Board") of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") of her decision to retire from her position as Executive Vice President – Dedicated and Warehousing Operations, which won't be effective until December 31, 2024. It is expected that Ms. Doster will provide services to the Company following her retirement to ensure a smooth transition. "I want to extend our thanks to Lynn for her exceptional service and leadership. Lynn joined the Covenant team following the Landair acquisition and has been instrumental in our dedicated and warehouse operations, as well as more recently with our Lew Thompson & Son acquisition," David Parker, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, remarked. "Part of the reason the Landair acquisition was transformational is leaders like Lynn that had the knowledge, relationships, and service focus that allowed us to distinguish ourselves in the market and also build our presence in less commoditized niches. We will miss her and we wish her the best in a well-deserved retirement."
