Last updated:
Sources last checked:
People who applied online for a Covenant Transport team driver position in Washington from January 1, 2023 through June 17, 2024 may qualify for a share of a class action settlement. A valid claim must be submitted online or by email, or mailed with a postmark, by November 9, 2026.
Eligible applicants who submit valid timely claims share the net settlement fund equally, subject to a $5,000 cap per claimant. The actual payment depends on valid claims and court-approved deductions; the maximum is not a promised payment.
The lawsuit alleges that the job postings omitted pay ranges or descriptions of benefits and other compensation required by Washington law. Covenant Transport denies wrongdoing. The settlement has preliminary approval, and payments depend on final approval and the settlement becoming final.

Frequently asked questions
How much will I receive?
Valid claimants receive equal shares of the net settlement fund, capped at $5,000 each. The gross fund ranges from $288,125 to $412,500 depending on claims and includes court-approved fees, expenses, service awards and administration. Your payment depends on the final number of valid claims and approved deductions; no fixed individual payment is promised.
Do I need proof or a Social Security number?
The form requires your Social Security number for tax reporting, contact details, and a signed and dated declaration of eligibility under penalty of perjury. It does not list a receipt upload for an ordinary identified class member, but the administrator may request supplemental information. A dispute over omission from the class list may require documentary evidence.
Is a Form W-9 required?
The agreement allows claimants to submit an IRS Form W-9 to avoid initial tax withholding. It states that payments to claimants who do not submit a W-9 are subject to initial withholding. The settlement describes payments as non-wage amounts reported on Form 1099-MISC.
When is the claim deadline?
November 9, 2026. Claims must be submitted online or by email, or mailed with a postmark, on or before that date. No exact cutoff time or timezone is stated in the reviewed official materials.
When will payments be sent?
Payments depend on final approval and the settlement becoming final, including resolution of any appeals. The final approval hearing is scheduled for February 19, 2027 at 8:30 a.m. Check the official website for changes; there is no guaranteed calendar payment date.
Can I opt out or object?
The notice gives November 9, 2026 as the opt-out and objection deadline. These are different procedures with specific requirements described in the official notice. A valid opt-out means you cannot receive a settlement payment.
