On October 27, 2016, William H. Hanna retired from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of USA Truck, Inc. (the "Company") and all committees thereof, effective immediately. Mr. Hanna's decision to retire from the Board does not relate to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. The Company has greatly appreciated Mr. Hanna's eleven years of dedicated and valuable service to the Board and wishes him well following his retirement from the Board. Upon the effectiveness of Mr. Hanna's retirement, there will be seven non-management directors on the Company’s eight member Board.

 

Item 8.01     Other Events

 

In addition, the Company announced that its Board has decided to eliminate the role of Vice Chairman of the Board. Thomas M. Glaser will continue to serve in his role as a director of the Company and will receive the Company's standard director compensation package in connection therewith, but will no longer hold the title of Vice Chairman or receive additional cash or equity compensation for services associated with that role.
