The Company completed nine acquisitions during the year ended July 31,

consolidated its financial accounting functions to its Irving, Texas executive
office as the audit process was commencing. As a result, the Company was unable
to timely assemble, and was unable to timely furnish to its independent
auditors, adequate financial information that would have enabled the auditors to
render an opinion without unreasonable effort or expense.

Mr. Robert P. Capps
Executive Vice President -
Chief Financial Officer
Dynamex Inc.
1431 Greenway Drive
Suite 345
Irving, Texas 75038
Dear Mr. Capps:
We were unable to furnish our opinion with respect to the consolidated
financial statements of Dynamex Inc. and Subsidiaries as of July 31, 1998 and
for the three years in the period then ended, to be included in the report on
Form 10-K, prior to the prescribed due date, because the requisite financial
information was not provided to us by the Company in sufficient time to
complete our audit. We have been advised by management that the Company
experienced delays due to personnel changes associated with the consolidation
of accounting functions to its Irving, Texas office and to integrating numerous
acquisitions into its financial reporting systems.
Yours truly,
/s/ Deloitte & Touche
