      the
      quarter, total revenue increased 9.9%, to $151.5 million from $137.9 million
      in
      the same quarter of 2005. Freight revenue, which excludes fuel surcharges,
      increased 4.7%, to $129.4 million in the 2006 quarter from $123.6 million in
      the
      2005 quarter. The Company measures freight revenue because management believes
      that fuel surcharges tend to be a volatile source of revenue, and the removal
      of
      such surcharges affords a more consistent basis for comparing results of
      operations from period to period. The Company experienced a net loss of
      $884,000, or ($.06) per share, in the 2006 quarter compared with a net loss
      of
      $649,000, or ($.04) per share, for the first quarter of 2005.</font></div>

      President, and Chief Executive Officer David R. Parker made the following
      comments on the quarter: &#8220;The first quarter was pretty typical of first quarters
      in trucking&#160;-&#160;a spotty freight market, a couple of big storms, but
      nothing unusual. Although the freight market in general was not as strong as
      last year's, I am pleased to report that Covenant did not experience a large
      drop-off, as we did in the first quarter of 2005. There was first quarter
      seasonality but nothing more.</font></div>

      consolidated freight profile changed modestly year-over-year as the results
      of
      dividing our company into service offerings began to show in our operating
      statistics. Our first two service offerings&#160;-&#160;Expedited Team and
      Refrigerated&#160;-&#160;had the greatest impact. Longer lengths of haul and
      improved utilization in those operations, along with significant growth in
      the
      Refrigerated fleet, contributed higher average miles per tractor and an
      improvement in non-revenue miles.</font></div>

      average freight revenue per tractor per week increased by 6.1% to $2,938 per
      week. A key factor in the improvement was a 3.3% increase in average miles
      per
      tractor despite a slightly higher unmanned truck count and slightly lower count
      of trucks utilizing team drivers versus a year ago. These two items negatively
      affected utilization by 2.1% percentage points. Additionally, we were able
      to
      increase our average freight revenue per loaded mile by 2.3%, or $.034 per
      mile,
      to $1.489 in the first quarter of 2006, compared with $1.455 in the first
      quarter of 2005. The percentage increase in our rate <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">per
      loaded mile slowed versus prior quarters mainly as a result of freight mix,
      as
      more miles were generated in longer haul lanes. A 35&#160;basis point reduction
      in non-revenue miles, to 9.8%, also contributed to the increase in average
      freight revenue per tractor per week.</font></font>

        after tax cost per mile has been pretty stable over the last three quarters
        at
        about $1.35 per mile. Compared with the first quarter of 2005, our after
        tax
        costs were up $.039 per mile, mainly because of a $.021 per mile increase
        in
        driver pay as a result of the 2005 pay increases and a $.014 per mile increase
        in health insurance claim costs. While the driver pay increase was anticipated,
        the additional health insurance claims (about $.06 per share impact versus
        the
        first quarter of 2005) were a surprise during the quarter. </font></div>

        ratio of 29.8% and a book value of $13.51 per share. Subsequent to quarter-end,
        we reduced our outstanding borrowing by applying approximately $30&#160;million
        in net proceeds from a sale-leaseback transaction involving our corporate
        headquarters and surrounding property to our revolving credit facility. As
