Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On July 8, 2020, Covenant Transport Solutions LLC (“CTS”), doing business as Transport Financial Services (“TFS”) and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Advance Business Capital LLC (“ABC”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (“Triumph”).  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CTS sold, and ABC purchased, substantially all of TFS’ operations and assets (the “Transaction”).  CTS sold approximately $103.3 million of net accounts receivable and related transportation factoring assets. In exchange, the Company received gross cash proceeds totaling approximately $108.4 million, plus Triumph common stock valued at approximately $13.9 million, and the opportunity to earn deferred net contingent cash consideration up to approximately $9.0 million (net of allocations to former TFS management) after the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2021. The Company is estimating transaction costs directly related to the transaction of $0.9 million. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnification provisions and includes certain ancillary agreements relating to registration rights, transition services, and ongoing referrals.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information is based on the assumptions set forth in the notes to such information. These adjustments are provisional and subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available, additional analyses are performed, and as warranted by changes in current conditions and future expectations. The unaudited pro forma adjustments made in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company considers to be reasonable, and have been made solely for purposes of developing such unaudited pro forma financial information for illustrative purposes in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The pro forma adjustments have been made solely for informational purposes. The actual results reported by the Company in periods following the disposition may differ significantly from that reflected in these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. As a result, the unaudited pro forma consolidated information is not intended to represent and does not purport to be indicative of what the Company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the disposition been completed on the applicable dates of this unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to project the future financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on various assumptions, including assumptions relating to the consideration received for TFS based on preliminary estimates. The pro forma assumptions and adjustments are described in the accompanying notes presented on the following pages. Pro forma adjustments are those that are directly attributable to the Transaction, are factually supportable and, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of income, are expected to have a continuing impact on the Company’s results.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information and the accompanying notes should be read together with (1) the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 9, 2020 and (2) the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on May 27, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2020 gives effect to the disposition of TFS by the Company as if it had occurred effective March 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2020 gives effect to the disposition of TFS by the Company as if it had occurred effective January 1, 2020, the beginning of the Company’s 2020 fiscal year.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 gives effect to the disposition of TFS by the Company as if it had occurred effective as of the beginning of the Company’s respective fiscal year.
