Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On March 14, 2014, USA Truck, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and its wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a First Amendment to Loan Documents (the "First Amendment") with Wells Fargo, National Association, as administrative agent and a lender (the "Agent") and PNC Bank, National Association, as a lender (together with the Agent, the "Lenders"), which, among other things, amends that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2012, by and among the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, and the Lenders (the "Credit Agreement").
Among other things, the First Amendment, which is effective as of December 31, 2013, amends the Credit Agreement such that, if the Company does not maintain the minimum suppressed availability threshold of $30.0 million during calendar year 2014, the Company's borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement will reduce by the amount of the shortfall below $30.0 million. After calendar year 2014, if the Company does not maintain the minimum suppressed availability threshold of $30.0 million, the advance rate on eligible revenue equipment will reduce, and if at least $20.0 million of suppressed availability is not maintained, a permanent amortization of the revenue equipment portion of the Company's borrowing base at the rate of 1/72nd, or approximately $1.5 million per month, would result, based on the December 31, 2013, revenue equipment collateral. At December 31, 2013, the Company's suppressed availability was $24.0 million, which reduced borrowing availability by $6.0 million, to $33.4 million.
The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the First Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1, and the Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2012.
