Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to Covenant Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Covenant”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in its Offer to Purchase dated August 9, 2021, and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the number of shares of Class A common stock of Covenant, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), listed below, pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

Number of Shares to be tendered: Shares.

NOTE: SIGNATURES MUST BE PROVIDED WHERE INDICATED BELOW

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED

(See Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal)

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) BELOW):

(1) SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Stockholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the purchase price as shall be determined by Covenant in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

☐

The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that Covenant will accept for payment all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined by Covenant in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $21.00 per Share for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). This may effectively lower the Final Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a per Share price as low as $21.00.

(2) SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY STOCKHOLDER

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked. The undersigned understands that this action could result in Covenant purchasing none of the Shares tendered hereby if the purchase price determined by Covenant for the Shares is less than the price checked below.

☐ $21.00		☐ $21.50		☐ $22.00		☐ $22.50		☐ $23.00
☐ $21.25		☐ $21.75		☐ $22.25		☐ $22.75

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES.

A STOCKHOLDER DESIRING TO TENDER SHARES AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED. THE SAME SHARES CANNOT BE TENDERED, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY PROPERLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE.

ODD LOTS

(See Instruction 15 of the Letter of Transmittal)

As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, under certain conditions, stockholders holding fewer than 100 Shares may have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered Shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders, or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more Shares, even if such holders have separate accounts or certificates representing fewer than 100 Shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed ONLY if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. The undersigned either (check one box):

☐	owns, whether beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares; or

☐

is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (i) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), Shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (ii) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares.

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Instruction 14 to the Letter of Transmittal)

A stockholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the stockholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 thereof. Unless at least that minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by Covenant pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered by you will be purchased. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and Covenant urges stockholders to consult their own financial or tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

☐	The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is: ________ Shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, Covenant may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:

☐	The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.
