Covenant Logistics amends executive severance to add retirement benefits

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

On August 7, 2026, Covenant Logistics' Compensation Committee amended severance agreements with four executives, including CFO James Grant. Executives who give at least 18 months' notice of retirement or voluntary separation, and sign release and other customary terms, will receive 6 months of salary continuation and 6 months of COBRA reimbursement. The filing says the agreements previously provided no benefits on retirement or voluntary separation.

Key points

  • Qualifying executives must give at least 18 months' prior written notice of planned retirement or voluntary separation
  • Benefits: 6 months of salary continuation and 6 months of COBRA reimbursement, subject to a non-compete through 12 months post-separation
  • Change-in-control and qualifying severance provisions are unchanged
