                       Report of Independent Accountants



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Monfort Transportation Company and
Lynn Transportation Co., Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Monfort
Transportation Company and Lynn Transportation Co., Inc. as of May 26, 1996 and
May 28, 1995, and the related combined statements of operations, assets in
excess of liabilities, and cash flows for the years ended May 26, 1996,
May 28, 1995 and May 29, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined financial position of Monfort Transportation
Company and Lynn Transportation Co., Inc. as of May 26, 1996 and May 28, 1995,
and the combined results of their operations and their cash flows for 
the years ended May 26, 1996, May 28, 1995 and May 29, 1994 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
    Monfort Transportation Company ("Monfort") and Lynn Transportation Co., Inc.
    ("Lynn") generally operate in specialized areas of the transportation
    services industry, including time-sensitive delivery, special handling,
    dedicated fleets and temperature control. Monfort (a Colorado corporation)
    is headquartered in Greeley, CO. Lynn (an Iowa corporation) is headquartered
    in El Dorado, AR, with operating divisions located in Osklaloosa, IA and
    Sacramento, CA.
 
    Basis of Presentation
 
    Monfort Transportation Company and Lynn Transportation Co., Inc. (the
    "Companies") are divisions of Monfort, Inc. and ConAgra Poultry Company (the
    "Parents"), respectively, both of which in turn are wholly-owned
    subsidiaries of ConAgra, Inc. ("ConAgra"). All significant accounts and
    transactions between divisions have been eliminated in combination. The
    financial statements have been prepared from the historical books and
    records of the Companies and Parents.
 
    The combined financial statements reflect the "carve-out" financial position
    of the Companies as of May 26, 1996 and May 28, 1995 and the results of
    operations and cash flows of the Companies for the years ended May 26, 1996,
    May 28, 1995 and May 29, 1994. The combined financial statements have been
    prepared as if the Companies had operated as a stand-alone entity for all
    periods presented, and include those assets, liabilities, revenues and
    expenses directly attributable to the Companies' operations. Certain
    corporate general and administrative expenses of the Parents have been
    allocated to the Companies (see Note 6) on various bases which, in the
    opinion of management, are reasonable and reflect all of the costs of doing
    business. Cash generated by the Companies is held by the Parents for cash
    management purposes.
 
    Repair Parts and Supplies
 
    Repair parts and supplies consists of fuel, tires until placed in service,
    tubes, replacement parts and supplies and are valued at the lower of average

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
 
    Property and Equipment
 
    Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
    the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and
    equipment as follows:
<TABLE> 
           <S>                                   <C> 
           Tractors                              3 -  4 years
           Trailers                              5 -  7 years                  
           Building and improvements             7 - 30 years                  
           Office furniture and equipment        3 -  7 years                  
           Automobiles                           3 -  5 years                  
           Machinery and equipment               3 -  5 years                  
</TABLE> 
                                                                       

    Major additions and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and
    repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the asset are charged to
    expense as incurred.  Gains and losses on dispositions are included in
    operating income.

    Claims and Insurance Accruals

    Claims and insurance accruals reflect the estimated costs of liabilities and
    claims not covered by insurance.  The liability for self-insurance is
    accrued on claims incurred and on estimates of both unasserted and unsettled
    claims which are assessed based on management's evaluation of the nature and
    severity of individual claims and on the Companies' past claims experience.

    Income Taxes

    Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
    Income Taxes, income taxes are provided based on earnings reported for tax
    return purposes in addition to a provision for deferred income taxes.  The
    provision for income taxes includes deferred taxes determined by the change
    in the deferred tax liability (or asset) which is computed based on the
    differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets
    and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards, all of which are
    measured by applying enacted tax laws and rates.  Deferred tax expense is
    the result of changes in the deferred tax liability or asset.

    The Companies file a consolidated tax return with their Parents.  However,
    for the purposes of these combined financial statements, the provision for
    income taxes has been prepared as if the Companies had filed a separate tax
    return on a stand-alone basis.

     Income Taxes, continued

     In connection with the sale of the Companies as discussed in Note 8, tax
     liabilities incurred prior to the date of sale of the Companies will remain
     with the Parents.

     Revenue Recognition

     Freight revenue is recognized upon the delivery of freight.

     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
     expenses reflected in the financial statements approximate fair value due
     to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

     The Companies are not active participants in financial derivative
     transactions.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses in
     the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     entered into for the use of revenue equipment and certain leased assets are
     purchased and subsequently sold by the Companies. During the year ended May
     26, 1996, these sales resulted in a gain in the amount of $1,030, due to
     the sale of certain revenue equipment for approximately $1,085.

3.   Capital Lease Obligations:

5.   Employee Benefit Plans:

     The Companies participate in a ConAgra sponsored 401(k) defined
     contribution plan. The plan covers substantially all salaried and hourly
     employees. Participants may voluntarily contribute to the plan up to the
     maximum limits imposed by Internal Revenue Service regulations. The
     Companies annually match between 50% and 66% of the participants'
     contributions up to 5% or 6% of the participants' compensation.
     Participants are immediately vested in the amount of their direct
     contributions and vest over a five year period, as defined by the plan,
     with respect to the Companies' contribution. The Companies' 401(k) matching
     contributions were $53, $40 and $17 for the years ended May 26, 1996, May
     28, 1995 and May 29, 1994, respectively. See Note 8.

     Lynn also participates in a ConAgra sponsored defined benefit pension plan.
     The plan covers all hourly employees and ConAgra pays the entire cost of
     the plan. Participants are vested after five years of continuous service or
     at age 65. Participants receive twenty dollars per month for every year of
     credited service and may receive reduced benefits beginning at age 55. Plan
     expenses allocated to Lynn by ConAgra were $34, $35 and $25 for the years
     ended May 26, 1996, May 28, 1995 and May 29, 1994, respectively.

6.   Transactions With Affiliates:

     The financial statements include allocations to the Companies of certain
     administrative costs incurred by the Parents related to management
     information systems, accounting, utilities, human resources and certain
     other corporate expenses. For the years ended May 26, 1996, May 28, 1995
     and May 29, 1994, these allocated costs were $912, $877 and $747,
     respectively.

     Expenses charged to the Companies for these services are allocated based on
     management's estimates of the Companies' proportionate share of the total
     group's expenses. In the opinion of management, these allocations of
     expenses were made on a reasonable basis. However, they are not necessarily
     indicative of the levels of expenses which may have been experienced on a
     stand-alone basis. The amounts that would have or will be incurred on a
     separate company basis could differ significantly from the allocated
     amounts due to economies of scale, differences in management and
     operational practices or other factors.

     The Companies are parties to various claims, legal actions, and complaints
     arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management,
     all such matters are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such
     amounts, that an unfavorable disposition would not have a material effect
     on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the
     Companies.  See Note 8.

     Leases

     The Companies lease various equipment and buildings under capital and
     noncancelable operating leases with an initial term in excess of one year.
     As of May 26, 1996, future minimum rental payments required under these

8.   Subsequent Event:

     The Parents signed a definitive stock purchase agreement with AmeriTruck
     Distribution Corp. (AmeriTruck) dated April 28, 1997, to sell all of the
     outstanding shares of the capital stock of Monfort and Lynn for
     approximately $15,000, subject to adjustments. The sale of the Companies
     was completed May 23, 1997. Under the terms of the agreement, the Parents
     entered into a Transportation Services Agreement with the Companies and
     AmeriTruck to guarantee certain designated lanes, minimum annual volumes
     and pricing. The Transportation Services Agreement has a four-year term,
     with pricing fixed for the first two years and to be adjusted for the third
     and fourth years.

     In connection with the stock purchase agreement, the parties thereto
     entered into a Disaffiliation Tax Sharing Agreement ("Tax Agreement").
     Under the Tax Agreement, the Parents shall be jointly and severally
     responsible for all federal and state income taxes of the Companies,
     including any taxes attributable to the Section 338(h)(10) election
     discussed below. Additionally, the Tax Agreement states that at the request
     of AmeriTruck, the Parents and AmeriTruck will join in making an election
     under Section 338(h)(10) of the Internal Revenue Code to allow the stock
     purchase to be treated as a purchase of assets for tax purposes. As such,
     all deferred tax assets and liabilities would become current and remain
     with the Parents.

     Additionally, under the stock purchase agreement, the Parents have agreed
     to indemnify AmeriTruck for any actual or alleged liabilities arising prior
     to the close of the sale related to environmental, insurance, employee
     benefit plans or litigation. As such, employees of the Companies after the
     closing of the sale will no longer be eligible to actively participate in
     any former benefit plans of the Companies and instead, will be eligible to
     participate in AmeriTruck's plans after meeting participation requirements.
     Also, certain assets and (liabilities) included in the financial statements
     will not be part of the acquired business. These balances as of May 26,
     1996 were as follows:

1.  Accounting Policies and Interim Results

The Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 11, 1997 for AmeriTruck Distribution
Corp. includes the audited financial statements of Tran-Star, Inc. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statement of operations and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Such
audited financial statements include a summary of significant accounting
policies and should be read in conjunction with these interim financial
statements. The statements for the periods presented are condensed and do not
contain all information required by generally accepted accounting principles to
be included in a full set of financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1997 and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996 have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the
entire year.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The following unaudited pro forma financial statements ("the Pro Forma Financial
Statements") give effect to the acquisition of the capital stock of Monfort
Transportation Company and Lynn Transportation Co., Inc. (collectively "Monfort
and Lynn"), subsidiaries of ConAgra, Inc. ("ConAgra")  and the acquisition of
the capital stock of Tran-Star, Inc. ("Tran-Star"), a subsidiary of Allways
Services, Inc. by AmeriTruck Distribution Corp. ("AmeriTruck").   The Pro Forma
Financial Statements are based on the audited consolidated financial statements
of AmeriTruck, the audited combined financial statements of Monfort and Lynn,
and the audited financial statements of Tran-Star.   Such audited financial
statements of the AmeriTruck and Tran-Star are incorporated by reference and the
financial statements of Monfort and Lynn are included elsewhere in this Form 8-
K/A-1.   Monfort and Lynn's fiscal year end for 1996 was May 26.  The pro forma
amounts for the year ended December 31, 1996 include (i) the operations of
AmeriTruck and Tran-Star for the year ended December 31, 1996 and (ii) the
operations of Monfort and Lynn for the twelve months ended March 23, 1997.  The
pro forma amounts for the three months ended March 31, 1997 include (i) the
operations of AmeriTruck and Tran-Star for the three months ended March 31, 1997
and (ii) the operations of Monfort and Lynn for the three months ended March 23,
1997, which are duplicative with a portion of the full year results.

The unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31,
1996 and the three months ended March 31, 1997 have been prepared to illustrate
the effects of the acquisitions of Monfort and Lynn and Tran-Star (the
"Acquisitions") as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1996. The
unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 1997, has been prepared to
illustrate the effects of the Acquisitions as if such transactions had occurred
on that date. The Pro Forma Financial Statements and accompanying notes should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial
information incorporated by reference or included elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A-
1.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and
certain assumptions that Management of AmeriTruck believes are reasonable.  The
Pro Forma Financial Statements are prepared for illustrative purposes only and
are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of
operations that might have occurred had the applicable transactions actually
taken place on the dates indicated, or of future results of operations or
financial position of AmeriTruck.  The unaudited pro forma adjustments do not
reflect any potential increases in operating income, or one-time costs to
achieve such increases, which may arise from the Acquisitions.

The Acquisitions will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Under this method of accounting, the purchase price has been allocated to the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of their
fair values and could change as additional information becomes available.

(a) Operating revenue and operating supplies and expenses have been adjusted to
    record revenue and related expenses as a result of the Transportation
    Services Agreement, dated as of April 28, 1997, entered into with
    subsidiaries of ConAgra in connection with the acquisition of Monfort and
    Lynn. Under the terms of this agreement, certain ConAgra subsidiaries have
    agreed to tender freight to AmeriTruck and its subsidiaries in designated
    lanes and minimum annual volumes with pricing fixed for the first two years.
    The agreement has a four-year term. The agreement also increases rates on
    other traffic lanes operated by Monfort and Lynn.

(b)  Operating supplies and expenses have been adjusted to conform the
     accounting policies for the capitalization of tires by removing tires from
     property and equipment and establishing a prepaid tire balance to be
     amortized over a period of 10 - 18 months. (See (i) below).

(c)  Depreciation and amortization of capital leases has been adjusted to
     reflect  the change in depreciation expense resulting from the adjustment
     of the property and equipment to their fair values and the conformity of
     accounting policies for the depreciable lives of the assets.

(d)  General supplies and expenses have been adjusted to reflect the reversal of
     certain allocated costs from the former parent company not expected to
     recur, as well as the reversal of certain other costs associated with the
     separation of the operations of one of the acquired companies from its
     sister company to facilitate the acquisition.

(e)  Amortization of intangibles has been adjusted to reflect the increase in
     amortization expense on the goodwill of $13,491 recorded  as a result of
     the Acquisitions.  Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis
     over an estimated life of 40 years.  The increase in amortization expense
     associated with goodwill was $84 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
     and $337 for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Additionally, amortization
     of intangibles has been increased to record the amortization of the value
     of the Transportation Services Agreement described in (a) above on a
     straight-line basis over the contract life of 4 years.  The increase in
     amortization expense associated with the Transportation Services Agreement
     was $ 141 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $562 for the year
     ended December 31, 1996.

(f)  Interest expense was adjusted to reflect the additional interest expense
     associated with the borrowings to partially fund the Acquisitions at an
     assumed rate of 8.5%.

(g)  Interest expense was adjusted as a result of the recording of debt at fair
     value.

(h)  Income tax expense  was adjusted to reflect the increase in federal and
     state income taxes resulting from the pro forma adjustments at a
     statutory rate of 40%.

(i)  Prepaid expenses has been adjusted to conform the accounting policies for
     the capitalization of tires by establishing a prepaid tire balance to be
     amortized over  10 - 18 months.  (See (b) above).

(j)  To eliminate historical deferred taxes, due to/from affiliates and claims
     and insurance accruals not assumed by AmeriTruck in connection with the
     Acquisitions.

(k)  Property and equipment has been adjusted to its appraised market values.

(l)  Goodwill has been adjusted to reflect the goodwill resulting from the
     excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired
     by AmeriTruck.  This amount will be amortized on a straight-line basis over
     an estimated life of 40 years.

(m)  Other assets were adjusted to reflect the capitalization of the value of
     the Transportation Services Agreement described in (a) above and will be
     amortized on a straight-line basis over the 4-year life of the agreement.

(n)  Debt and capital leases have been adjusted to fair value.

(o)  Long-term debt has been adjusted to reflect the borrowings necessary to
     partially fund the Acquisitions.

(p)  Adjustments have been made to eliminate the equity/(deficit) of the
     acquired companies.

(q)  Redeemable preferred stock and stockholders' equity has also been adjusted
     to reflect the issuance of common stock and preferred stock to partially
     fund the Acquisitions.

(r) Accounts payable and accrued expenses has been adjusted to include certain
    nonrecurring costs and expenses associated with integrating the businesses
    acquired through the Acquisitions. Such adjustment includes nonrecurring
    costs related to employee severances and relocation costs for employees of
    the acquired companies and other integration costs. In the near future
    additional nonrecurring costs may be incurred, related to the elimination of
    duplicative facilities, computer systems and other assets. The effect of any
    additional adjustment would be to adjust the goodwill recognized as a result
    of the Acquisitions.
