                                OCTOBER 30, 2003

                        INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

To the Optionee (the "Optionee") executing the reference and signature page(s)
(the "Signature Page") to this Incentive Stock Option Agreement (this
"Agreement").

Dear Optionee:

This Agreement sets forth the terms under which Forward Air Corporation, a
Tennessee corporation (the "Company"), has awarded you an option to purchase
shares of the $0.01 par value common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock").
This Agreement, along with the Company's 1999 Stock Option and Incentive Plan
(the "Plan"), Plan Prospectus, Insider Trading Policy and such additional
documents as are approved by the Company, constitute the terms and conditions
governing the grant of options hereunder. Terms not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.

This will confirm the agreement between the Company and the Optionee as follows:

         1. Grant of Option. Pursuant to the Plan, the Company grants to the
Optionee the right and option (the "Option") to purchase all or any part of the
number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the Signature Page (the "Shares").
The Option granted herein is an incentive stock option and is subject to the
provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

         2. Option Price. The option price per Share shall be the "Option Price
per Share" as set forth on the Signature Page (the "Option Price"), representing
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
as determined pursuant to the Plan as of the Grant Date set forth on the
Signature Page.

         3. Term of Option. The term of the Option shall commence on the Grant
Date and all rights to purchase Shares hereunder shall cease at 11:59 p.m. on
the Expiration Date set forth on the Signature Page, subject to earlier
termination as provided in the Plan and this Agreement. Except as may otherwise
be provided in the Plan or this Agreement, Options granted hereunder may be
cumulative and exercised as follows:

                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement, the Option shall vest on the dates set forth on the Signature Page,
provided that the Optionee remains continually employed by the Company
throughout such period; provided further, that the Option

                                       1
<PAGE>

shall expire on the Expiration Date and must be exercised, if at all, on or
before the Expiration Date. The Vesting Schedule for the Option is set forth on
the Signature Page.

                  (b) For the purpose of this Agreement, the Optionee shall be
deemed to be an eligible employee of the Company for so long as the Optionee is
employed by the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company. A leave of
absence (regardless of the reason therefor) shall be deemed to constitute the
cessation of eligible employee status as of the commencement date of the leave.

                  (c) The Option shall become exercisable, to the extent that
Shares have vested, upon the termination of Optionee's employment with the
Company (the "Termination Date").

                  (d) The Option Price of the Shares as to which the Option
shall be exercised shall be paid in full at the time of exercise (i) in cash or
by certified check or by bank draft; (ii) by the delivery of previously owned
unrestricted shares of Common Stock which shall have an aggregate Fair Market
Value determined in accordance with the Plan equal to the Option Price and have
been held by you for at least six (6) months; or (iii) any combination of the
preceding. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, the Option may not be
exercised at any time unless the Optionee shall have been continuously, from the
Grant Date to the date of the exercise of the Option, an employee of the Company
or a parent or subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, the Option may be exercised at any given time
only as to those Shares covered by the Option which have "vested" at such time,
as set forth on the Vesting Schedule. The holder of the Option shall not have
any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by the Option
until such time, if ever, as such Shares of Common Stock are actually issued and
delivered to the Optionee.

         4. Nontransferability. The Option shall not be transferable otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option may be
exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. More
particularly (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing), the Option
may not be assigned, transferred (except as provided in Section 6 hereof),
pledged or hypothecated in any way, shall not be assignable by operation of law
and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of
the Option contrary to the provisions hereof, and the levy of any execution,
attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null and void and
without effect.

         5. Termination of Option. In the event that the Optionee is terminated
for just cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement between the Company and
Optionee, dated October 27, 2003), the Option shall terminate on the Termination
Date. If the Optionee dies while employed by the Company (or within the period
of extended exercisability otherwise provided herein), or if the Optionee's
employment terminates by reason of Disability or Retirement, the Option may be
exercised by the Optionee, by the legal representative of the Optionee's estate,
or by the legatee under the Optionee's will at any time until the expiration of
the stated term of the Option. In the event that the employment of Optionee
terminates (other than by reason of death, Disability, Retirement, or for just
cause), the portion of the Option that is vested on the Termination Date may be
exercised for a period of 90 days from such date or until the expiration of the
stated term

                                       2
<PAGE>

of the Option, whichever period is shorter. The Optionee shall be considered to
be an employee of the Company for all purposes under this Section 5 if the
Compensation Committee determines that the Optionee is rendering substantial
services as a part-time employee to the Company or any parent or subsidiary of
the Company.

         6. Other Terminations or Expirations. Notwithstanding any other
provision contained herein, in the event of a "Change of Control," as such term
is defined in Section 9(a) of the Employment Agreement between the Company and
Optionee of even date herewith, the Option shall immediately become fully vested
and exercisable.

         7. Adjustments. The number and class of Shares subject to the Option,
and the Option Price per Share (but not the total purchase price), and the
minimum number of Shares as to which the Option may be exercised at any one
time, shall all be proportionately adjusted in the event of any change or
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock, without
receipt of consideration by the Company, which result from a split-up or
consolidation of shares, payment of a share dividend (in excess of two percent
(2%)), a recapitalization, combination of shares or other like capital
adjustment, so that, upon exercise of the Option, the Optionee shall receive the
number and class of shares the Optionee would have received had the Optionee
been the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock, for which the Option is
being exercised, on the date of such change or increase or decrease in the
number of issued shares of Common Stock. Subject to reorganization, merger or
consolidation, the Option shall be proportionately adjusted so as to apply to
the securities to which the holder of the number of Shares of Common Stock
subject to the Option would have been entitled. Adjustments under this Section 7
shall be made by the Compensation Committee whose determination with respect
thereto shall be final and conclusive. No fractional share shall be issued under
the Option or upon any such adjustment.

         8. Notice. All notices, requests, consents and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered or mailed, by United States certified or registered mail, prepaid, to
the parties or their assignees, if to the Company, addressed to Forward Air
Corporation, Attention: Legal Department, P.O. Box 1058, Greeneville, Tennessee
37744, and if to the Optionee, at the address set forth on the Signature Page
(or such other address as shall be given in writing by either party to the
other).

         9. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company, at
its principal office in the State of Tennessee, which is set forth in Section 8
hereof. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the
number of Shares in respect of which it is being exercised and by payment in
full of the Option Price pursuant to Section 3 above, and the Company shall
deliver a certificate or certificates representing the Shares subject to such
exercise as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received. The
certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which the Option shall have
been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person so exercising
the Option and shall be delivered as provided above to or upon the written order
of the person exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised
by any person other than the Optionee in accordance with the terms hereof, such
notice shall be accompanied by

                                       3
<PAGE>

appropriate proof of right of such person to exercise the Option. All Shares
that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall
be fully paid and nonassessable. The holder of the Option shall not be entitled
to the privileges or share ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not
actually issued and delivered to the Optionee.

         10. No Agreement to Employ. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding,
express or implied, on the part of the Company to employ or retain the Optionee
for any specific period of time.

         11. Market Standoff Agreement. The Optionee agrees in connection with
any registration of the Company's securities that, upon the request of the
Company or the underwriters managing any public offering of the Company's
securities, the Optionee will not sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares
without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the
case may be, for a period of time (not to exceed 120 days) from the effective
date of such registration as the Company or the underwriters may specify.

         12. Stop-Transfer Notices. The Optionee understands and agrees that, in
order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to herein, the Company
may issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if
any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make
appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

         13. General. The Company shall at all times during the term of the
Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will
be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, shall pay all
original issue and transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of
shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by
the Company in connection therewith, and will from time to time use its best
efforts to comply with all laws and regulations, which, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto. To the extent that this
Agreement differs from the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall
control.

         If the foregoing correctly sets forth your understanding of the terms
and conditions governing the subject matter of this Agreement, please sign the
enclosed Signature Page to this Agreement in the place indicated and return it
to the corporate office.

                                             Very truly yours,

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.12

                            NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT

         This NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT (this "Noncompetition Agreement") is
entered into as of October 27, 2003, between Forward Air Corporation (the
"Company") and Bruce A. Campbell (the "Executive") contemporaneously with and as
part of the Employment Agreement between the parties to which this
Noncompetition Agreement is attached.

         REASONS FOR THIS NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT: During Executive's
relationship with the Company, Executive has learned, will learn, or has or will
have access to, important proprietary information related to the operations and
business of Forward Air Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates
(collectively, the "Company's Business"). Executive acknowledges that the
proprietary customer, operations, financial, and business information that has
been or will be learned or accessible has been and will be developed through the
Company's expenditure of substantial effort, time and money; and together with
relationships developed with customers and employees, could be used to compete
unfairly with the Company. The Company's ability to sell its products on a
competitive basis depends, in part, on its proprietary information and customer
relationships, and the Company would not share this information, provide
training or promote Executive's relationship with customers if the Company
believed that it would be used in competition with the Company, which
non-disclosure would cause Executive's performance and opportunities to suffer.

         In consideration of employment or continued employment and other
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged,
the Company and Executive agree:

         1. DEFINITIONS: For this Noncompetition Agreement, the following terms
shall have the meaning specified below:

            (a) PERSON: any individual, corporation, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, association, unincorporated organization or other
entity.

            (b) TERMINATION DATE: the date of Executive's termination of
employment from the Company, whether such termination is voluntary or
involuntary, whether with or without cause, and whether before or after the
expiration of the Term of the Executive's Employment Agreement.

            (c) CUSTOMERS: All customers of the Company who did business with
the Company during the one year period immediately prior to the Executive's
Termination Date.

            (d) CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: information, without regard to form,
relating to the Company's customers, operation, finances, and business that
derives value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to other
Persons, including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data,
formulas, patterns, compilations (including compilations of customer
information), programs (including fulfillment and marketing programs), devices,

<PAGE>

methods (including fulfillment methods), techniques, processes, financial data
(including sales forecasts), or lists of actual or potential customers or
suppliers (including identifying information about those customers), whether or
not reduced to writing. Confidential Information includes information disclosed
to the Company by third parties that the Company is obligated to maintain as
confidential. Confidential Information subject to this Noncompetition Agreement
may include information that is not a trade secret under applicable law, but
information not constituting a trade secret only shall be treated as
Confidential Information under this Noncompetition Agreement for a two year
period after the Termination Date.

            (e) TERRITORY: the term "Territory" as used in this Noncompetition
Agreement means the continental United States and Canada. Executive acknowledges
that Executive will provide services to Company and will have a substantial
impact on the Company's Business throughout the Territory.

            (f) COMPETING BUSINESS: any Person (other than the Company)
providing or offering goods or services identical to or reasonably substitutable
for the Company's Business.

         2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: Executive shall use his best efforts to
protect Confidential Information. During or after association with the Company,
Executive will not use or disclose any of the Company's Confidential Information
except in connection with his duties performed in accordance with his Employment
Agreement or except with the prior written consent of the Chairman of the Board
of the Company; provided, however, Executive may make disclosures required by a
valid order or subpoena issued by a court or administrative agency of competent
jurisdiction, in which event Executive will promptly notify the Company of such
order or subpoena to provide the Company an opportunity to protect its
interests.

         3. RETURN OF MATERIALS: On the Termination Date or for any reason or at
any time at the Company's request, Executive will deliver promptly to the
Company all materials, documents, plans, records, notes, or other papers and any
copies in Executive's possession or control relating in any way to the Company's
Business, which at all times shall be the property of the Company.

         4. SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES: During employment and for a period equal
to the longer of (i) 12 months following his Termination Date or (ii) the period
during which Executive is paid pursuant to the terms of his Employment
Agreement, Executive will not solicit or induce or in any manner attempt to
solicit or induce, any person employed by the Company to leave such employment,
whether or not such employment is pursuant to a written contract with the
Company or at will.

         5. SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS: During employment and for a period equal
to the longer of (i) 12 months following his Termination Date or (ii) the period
during which Executive is paid pursuant to the terms of his Employment
Agreement, Executive will not solicit Customers for the purpose of providing or
offering products or services identical to or reasonably substitutable for the
Company's Business.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         6. LIMITATIONS ON POST-TERMINATION COMPETITION: During employment and
for a period equal to the longer of (i) 12 months following his Termination Date
or (ii) the period during which Executive is paid pursuant to the terms of his
Employment Agreement, Executive will not, within the Territory, be employed or
engaged by a Competing Business as a employee, director, executive, officer,
manager, consultant or equivalent position.

         7. FURTHER LIMITATIONS: Notwithstanding any provision of this
Noncompetition Agreement to the contrary, if Executive's employment is
terminated (whether by the Company or by Executive) under circumstances that
would entitle him to receive benefits under his agreement with the Company
providing compensation and benefits for terminations following a "change in
control" of the Company (as defined in such agreement), then the time periods in
Paragraphs 5 and 6 above shall be reduced to 12 months.

         8. DISPARAGEMENT: Executive shall not at any time make false,
misleading or disparaging statements about the Company, including its products,
management, employees, and customers.

         9. OWNERSHIP OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: The Executive hereby agrees
that any and all improvements, inventions, discoveries, formulas, processes,
methods, know-how, confidential data, trade secrets and other proprietary
information (collectively "Work Product") within the scope of any business of
the Company or any affiliate which the Executive may conceive or make or has
conceived or made during his employment with the Company shall be and are the
sole and exclusive property of the Company, and that the Executive shall,
wherever requested to do so by the Company, at its expense, execute and sign any
and all applications, assignments or other instruments and do all other things
which the Company may deem necessary or appropriate (i) in order to apply for,
obtain, maintain, enforce or defend letters patent of the United States or any
foreign country for any Work Product, or (ii) in order to assign, transfer,
convey or otherwise make available to the Company the sole and exclusive right,
title and interest in and to any Work Product.

         10. INTERPRETATION; SEVERABILITY: Rights and restrictions in this
Noncompetition Agreement may be exercised and are applicable only to the extent
they do not violate any applicable laws, and are intended to be limited to the
extent necessary so they will not render this Noncompetition Agreement illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable. If any term shall be held illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining terms shall
remain in full force and effect. This Noncompetition Agreement does not in any
way limit the Company's rights under the laws of unfair competition, trade
secret, copyright, patent, trademark or any other applicable laws(s), which are
in addition to rights under this Noncompetition Agreement. The existence of a
claim by Executive, whether predicated on this Noncompetition Agreement or
otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the Company's enforcement of this
Noncompetition Agreement.
