Covenant Transport LLC (Covenant Logistics)

What the federal record says

Covenant Transport LLC trades as Covenant Logistics and holds USDOT number 273818 and operating authority MC-188102. FMCSA records the company as an active interstate carrier for hire with a registered address in Chattanooga, Marion County, Tennessee. Its household goods authority is on file as common carrier of household goods and contract carrier of household goods and motor carrier of household goods, which is the grant that allows a company to move a household across a state line for money. The USDOT record was created on 30 May 1986, 40 years before this snapshot, and the last MCS-150 form on file was filed on 30 July 2025.

The filing reports 816 power units and 1,741 drivers, 2.1 per truck. A fleet this size operates as a network, and the truck that turns up at your door is often run by a local agent under the parent name rather than by the parent itself. The equipment itemized on the form is 816 tractors, 1,970 trailers. The company reported 185,444,732 miles for 2024, which works out at roughly 227,261 miles per power unit. That places it 1st by fleet size among the 151 registered household goods carriers based in Tennessee.

Besides household goods the census lists 14 other cargo classifications: general freight, metal sheets, coils, rolls, building materials, fresh produce, liquids/gases, grain, feed, hay, meat, us mail, chemicals, commodities dry bulk, refrigerated food, beverages, paper products, construction. A carrier with a broad cargo list is running household moves alongside other freight, which can mean better rates on a backhaul and less predictable scheduling. The registered address falls in the Chattanooga, TN-GA metropolitan area, where 18 other registered household goods carriers are based. FMCSA has assigned this carrier a satisfactory safety rating, dated 25 June 2002.

The nearest other registered household goods carriers are New Journey Moving LLC in Chattanooga (same ZIP code area), River City Moving LLC in Chattanooga (5.8 miles), Elizabeth's Moving Services LLC in Chattanooga (7 miles). Distances are between ZIP code centers, so they are approximate. Getting three written estimates from companies in the same area is the single cheapest thing you can do to avoid being overcharged.
