Covenant (CCJ Top 250, No. 38) saw strong profits overcoming market head winds, with asset-based Expedited and Dedicated segments contributing 85% of operating income while Managed Freight and Warehousing brought in just 15% on 32% of all revenue. 

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David R. Parker said the "results were achieved despite unprecedented inflation cost headwinds and a softening freight market. We expect both cost inflation and lower demand to continue for the remainder of this year and in to 2023."
