                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Jevic
Transportation, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's S-1 registration statement (file
no. 333-33469) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the
Company's initial public offering on October 7, 1997.

2. Initial Public Offering of Common Stock

The Company completed an initial public offering (the "Offering") of its Common
Stock on October 7, 1997. The Company sold 3,800,000 shares of Common Stock at
$15 per share. Additionally, 570,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased from
certain selling shareholders at $15 per share by the underwriters upon the
exercise of an over-allotment option. The net proceeds to the Company, after
deducting estimated underwriting discounts and expenses, were approximately
$52.2 million. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares
by the selling shareholders. A pro forma balance sheet has been presented to
reflect the Offering and related transactions.

The Company was subject to taxation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code until the termination of the S Corporation status on October 3, 1997. The
pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 reflects the estimated increase
in the net deferred tax liability of $8.6 million, recorded by the Company as a
result of the termination of its S Corporation status. The net deferred income
tax liability represents the tax effects of the cumulative differences between
the financial reporting and income tax bases of certain assets and liabilities
as of the termination of the S Corporation status and will be recorded as a
one-time, income tax provision in the statement of income for the three months
ended December 31, 1997. Deferred taxes will be adjusted to reflect any change
in the net deferred tax asset upon filing the final S Corporation tax return.
Additionally, in October 1997, the Company made $10 million of distributions to
the S Corporation shareholders.

Pro Forma Information

Pro Forma Balance Sheet Information

The pro forma balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 1997 reflects (i)
the net proceeds to the Company of approximately $52.2 million from the Offering
(see Note 2), (ii) the repayment of $28.3 million of outstanding indebtedness,
(iii) a $10 million distribution to certain shareholders of the Company, 
(iv) the Company's purchase of its Charlotte facility from certain of its
shareholders for $2 million, resulting in a $700,000 deemed distribution and 
(v) an increase in the Company's net deferred tax liability as a result of the
Company's termination of its S Corporation status (estimated at $8.6 million as
of September 30, 1997).

Pro Forma Income Statement Data

On October 3, 1997, the Company terminated its status as an S Corporation and,
as a result, the Company is now subject to federal and additional state income
taxes. Accordingly, for informational purposes, the accompanying statements of
income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 include
an unaudited pro forma adjustment for the income taxes that would have been
recorded had the Company been a C Corporation, based on the tax laws in effect
during the respective periods.

Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

Pro forma net income per share was calculated by dividing pro forma net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the
respective periods adjusted for the effect of dilutive common stock options, and
after giving effect to the estimated number of shares that would be required to
be sold (using the initial public offering price of $15 per share, less
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) to fund
a $10 million distribution to the S Corporation shareholders.

3. New Accounting Pronouncement

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No.
128 is designed to improve the earnings per share information provided in
financial statements by simplifying the existing computational guidelines,
revising the disclosure requirements and increasing comparability of earnings
per share data on an international basis. This pronouncement is effective for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997; earlier adoption is not permitted.
The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Overview

Jevic was founded in 1981 after the deregulation of the trucking industry, and
has developed an operating system which combines the high revenue yield
characteristics of a typical LTL carrier with the operating flexibility and low
fixed costs of a truckload carrier. Most other motor carriers have continued to
specialize as either truckload, moving one shipment at a time, or
less-than-truckload, moving multiple small shipments through networks of up to
500 terminals.

The Company's system uses a small number of regional facilities which serve as
origination points for consolidation of both small and large shipments. The
shipments are then loaded onto line-haul trailers in a sequence which permits
direct unloading at each shipment's destination, eliminating the need to
rehandle individual shipments at one or more breakbulk terminals. Management
focuses on adjusting freight mix to maximize asset utilization. The Company
maintains a high percentage of variable costs in order to minimize the impact of
short-term swings in demand.

Because of the distinct nature of Jevic's operating system, the Company believes
that profitability measures and expense ratios traditionally used to evaluate
truckload or less-than-truckload carriers are not meaningful. Jevic's results of
operations have been impacted by two key trends. First, Jevic has been
increasing the percentage of its shipments transported by owner-operators, who
supply their own tractor and bear all associated expenses in return for a
contracted rate. As a result, purchased transportation has increased as a
percentage of operating revenues, offset by a reduction, as a percentage of
operating revenues, of drivers' salaries, wages and benefits, depreciation,
fuel, operating taxes and licenses and other supplies and operating expenses.
Additionally, Jevic has shifted from a policy of leasing revenue equipment to
purchasing revenue equipment. As a result, depreciation and interest expense has
increased as a percentage of operating revenues while lease expense, which is
included in supplies and other expenses, has decreased.

The Company completed the initial public offering of its common stock on October
7, 1997. The Company sold 3,800,000 shares of common stock at $15 per share. The
net proceeds to the Company, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts
and expenses, were approximately $52.2 million.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1996

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased 23.5% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
to $48.9 million from $39.6 million for the comparable period of 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from an 18.4% increase in total shipments. The
Company's average tractor fleet grew 22.0% in the third quarter of 1997 over the
third quarter of 1996, and average revenues per tractor per week increased
slightly to $3,875 during the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $3,830
during the three months ended September 30, 1996.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased 23.7% to $43.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $35.5 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of operating revenues, operating expenses increased to 89.9% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from 89.5% for the comparable period of
1996. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increased revenues,
as the majority of the Company's operating expenses are variable in nature. The
percentage increase was primarily attributable to the increased use of purchased
transportation, including higher cost, outside line-haul transportation to meet
short-term capacity requirements.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased 19.8% to $24.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from $20.2 million for the comparable period of
1996. As a percentage of


                                      -7-

<PAGE>


operating revenues, salaries, wages and benefits decreased to 49.6% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from 50.9% for the comparable period of
1996. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the Company's increased use
of owner-operators in 1997.

Supplies and other expenses, which primarily consist of operating leases, fuel,
tolls, tires, parts and bad debt expense, increased 11.3% to $8.9 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.0 million for the comparable
period of 1996. As a percentage of operating revenues, supplies and other
expenses decreased to 18.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from
20.1% for the comparable period of 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily
due to the Company's continuing shift toward the purchase of revenue equipment
financed with debt rather than leasing such equipment under operating leases,
and, to a lesser extent, the Company's increased use of owner-operators in 1997.

Purchased transportation increased 119.0% to $4.6 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $2.1 million for the comparable period of 1996. As
a percentage of operating revenues, purchased transportation increased to 9.4%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 5.3% for the comparable
period of 1996. The increase was primarily due to the increased use of
owner-operators to supplement the Company's fleet and to substitute for higher
cost, outside line-haul transportation. As a percentage of total purchased
transportation expense, owner-operator expense increased to 66.7% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 from 29.2% for the comparable period of 1996.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 26.1% to $2.9 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $2.3 million for the comparable
period of 1996. As a percentage of operating revenues, depreciation and
amortization increased to 5.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
from 5.7% for the comparable period of 1996. The increase was primarily
attributable to the Company's continuing shift toward the purchase of additional
and replacement revenue equipment financed with debt rather than leasing such
equipment under operating leases.

Operating taxes and licenses increased 9.1% to $2.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from $2.2 million for the comparable period of 1996. As
a percentage of operating revenues, operating taxes and licenses decreased to
5.0% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from 5.5% for the comparable
period of 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to a
decrease in fuel taxes due to the Company's increased use of owner-operators,
who pay for their own taxes and licenses.

Insurance and claims increased 12.5% to $900,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $800,000 for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of operating revenues, insurance and claims decreased to 1.8% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from 1.9% for the comparable period of
1996.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased 12.5% to $900,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from $800,000 for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of operating revenues, interest expense decreased to 1.8% for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from 2.0% for the comparable period of
1996. Increased debt levels in 1997, resulting from the increase in owned rather
than leased equipment, were partially offset by lower average interest rates.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1996

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased 23.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
to $139.3 million from $113.2 million for the comparable period of 1996. The
increase resulted primarily from a 16.7% increase in total shipments. The
Company's average tractor fleet grew 21.2% in the first nine months of 1997 over
1996, and average revenues per tractor per week increased slightly to $3,808
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $3,748 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased 19.9% to $128.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $106.9 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of operating revenues, operating expenses decreased to 91.9% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 94.4% for the comparable period of
1996. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increased revenues,
as the majority of the Company's operating expenses are variable in nature. The
percentage decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in 1997 of driver
wages, equipment rent and outside line-haul and local transportation expense as
a percentage of revenues due to the increased use of owner-operators.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased 18.4% to $70.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 from $59.8 million for the comparable period of
1996. As a percentage of operating revenues, salaries, wages and benefits
decreased to 50.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 52.9% for
the comparable period of 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily due to the
Company's increased use of owner-operators in 1997.

Supplies and other expenses increased 8.3% to $26.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $24.2 million for the comparable period of 1996.
As a percentage of operating revenues, supplies and other expenses decreased to
18.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 21.4% for the comparable
period of 1996. This percentage decrease was due to the Company's continuing
shift toward the purchase of revenue equipment financed with debt rather than
leasing such equipment under operating leases and the Company's increased use of
owner-operators in 1997.

Purchased transportation increased 73.7% to $13.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $7.6 million for the comparable period of 1996. As
a percentage of operating revenues, purchased transportation increased to 9.5%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 6.7% for the comparable period
of 1996. The increase was primarily due to the increased use of owner-operators
to supplement the Company's fleet and to


                                      -9-

substitute for higher cost, outside line-haul transportation. As a percentage of
total purchased transportation expense, owner-operator expense increased to
61.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 11.5% for the comparable
period of 1996.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased 31.7% to $8.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $6.3 million for the comparable period
of 1996. As a percentage of operating revenues, depreciation and amortization
increased to 5.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 5.6% for the
comparable period of 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to the
Company's continuing shift toward the purchase of additional and replacement
revenue equipment financed with debt rather than leasing such equipment under
operating leases.

Operating taxes and licenses increased 4.6% to $6.8 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 from $6.5 million for the comparable period of 1996. As
a percentage of operating revenues, operating taxes and licenses decreased to
4.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 5.7% for the comparable
period of 1996. This percentage decrease was primarily attributable to a
decrease in fuel taxes due to the Company's increased use of owner-operators,
who pay for their own taxes and licenses.

Insurance and claims increased 16.0% to $2.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $2.5 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of operating revenues, insurance and claims decreased to 2.0% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 2.2% for the comparable period of
1996.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased 13.6% to $2.5 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 from $2.2 million for the comparable period of 1996. As a
percentage of operating revenues, interest expense decreased to 1.8% for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from 1.9% for the comparable period of
1996. The Company had higher debt levels in 1997 due to the purchases of revenue
equipment being financed with debt, but was offset by the Company's increased
use of owner-operators.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been funds provided by
operations, equipment leases and bank borrowings. Net cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $14.9 million for the first nine months of 1997
compared to $9.3 million for the corresponding period in 1996. The increase in
cash provided by operations is primarily attributable to the Company's increased
income before depreciation and amortization expense in 1997.

Capital expenditures, net of trade-in allowances, totaled approximately $17.1
million during the first nine months of 1997 compared to $15.3 million in the
comparable period of 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the
$17.1 million of capital expenditures were comprised of $15.8 million of revenue
equipment, $900,000 of facilities and $200,000 of other equipment.

The Company generally purchases new line-haul tractors and replaces them after
three years. Regional and local tractors are generally replaced after five 
years, depending on levels of use. The


                                      -10-

<PAGE>


Company generated cash proceeds from sales of used tractors of $382,000 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 versus $92,000 in the comparable period of
the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $7.4 million for the comparable
period of 1996. At September 30, 1997, total borrowings under long-term debt
totaled $46.5 million, maturing through 2007, and obligations relating to
operating leases totaled $10.0 million through 2001, of which $1.1 million
related to facility leases with the current shareholders.

On October 7, 1997, the Company completed its initial public offering, which
provided the Company with $52.2 million of net proceeds. The Company used a
portion of such proceeds to pay down indebtedness ($28.3 million), make
distributions to S Corporation shareholders ($10 million) and purchase its
Charlotte, North Carolina facility ($2 million).

Jevic is a party to a $25 million credit facility with CoreStates Bank, N.A. The
credit facility includes a $7 million working capital revolving line of credit,
with borrowings limited to 80% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable,
and an $18 million term loan facility used to purchase or refinance revenue
equipment. At September 30, 1997, there was $12.6 million outstanding under the
credit facility, of which $200,000 represented outstanding standby letters of
credit and the remainder of which was outstanding under the term loan facility.
After repaying certain indebtedness in October with offering proceeds, there was
$3.7 million outstanding under the credit facility.

The Company believes that the net proceeds from the Offering, funds generated
from operations and available borrowings under its current or future credit
facilities will be sufficient to fund the Company's activities at least through
1998.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its
results of operations for the past three years.

Seasonality

In the trucking industry, revenues generally follow a seasonal pattern as
customers reduce shipments during and after the winter holiday season. In
addition, highway transportation can be adversely affected depending upon the
severity of the weather in various sections of the country during the winter
months. The Company's operating expenses have historically been higher in winter
months, due primarily to decreased fuel efficiency and increased maintenance
costs for revenue equipment in colder weather. Accordingly, the Company's
results of operations may fluctuate to reflect such seasonality.

                  Underwriting discounts and commissions amounted to $1.05 per
share offered. The Company incurred an aggregate $3,990,000 in underwriting
discount and commissions and approximately $800,000 in other expenses in
connection with the offering. None of such expenses were direct or indirect
payments to directors or officers of the Company, to persons owning 10 percent
or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or to any affiliate of
the Company. The net offering proceeds to the Company after deducting the total
expenses were approximately $52.2 million.

                  The Company has used approximately $28.3 million of the net
offering proceeds to repay certain borrowing incurred to purchase revenue
equipment. This represents a material deviation from the $18.2 million of
borrowings the Company had indicated an intent to repay in the Prospectus.
Because its projects to purchase and expand regional facilities could not be
transacted immediately, the Company determined to repay additional borrowings in
the current period and to use internally-generated cash, together with
borrowings, as necessary, to finance the proposed regional facilities projects
when and as those projects come to fruition. The Company has used an additional
$6.0 million of the aggregate net proceeds, along with available cash, to repay
$10 million of short-term notes issued to fund a special dividend declared by
the Board of Directors of the Company in August 1997. A majority of these funds
($5.8 million) were paid to certain officers and directors of the Company and
certain trusts of which those officers and directors act as trustees. In
addition, $2.0 million of the net offering proceeds have been used to purchase
the Company's Charlotte regional facility from existing shareholders and $3.0
million of the net offering proceeds have been used to purchase revenue
equipment. $7.0 million of the net offering proceeds have been invested in a
money market account pending application to the Company's planned regional
facility expansion projects, and the remaining $5.9 million of net proceeds are
being used by the Company for working capital. The above amounts are reasonable
estimates of the Company's uses of the net proceeds of the offering to

date. Except as specified, none of such uses were direct or indirect payments to
directors or officers of the Company, persons owning 10 percent or more of any
class of equity securities of the Company or to affiliates of the Company.

                  By unanimous written consent of the Company's shareholders

integrate and further amend the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to (i)

1,500 to 60,000,000, including the addition of a second class designated

Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation may be amended only by a
supermajority vote. In the same consent, the Company's shareholders further
resolved to amend and restate the Company's By-laws.

                  By unanimous written consent of the Company's shareholders
effective October 6, 1997, the Company's shareholders elected Gordon R. Bowker
and Samuel H. Jones, Jr. as Class I directors, with terms expiring at the
Company's annual meeting in 1998, Paul J. Karvois and Karen B. Muhlschlegel as
Class II directors, with terms expiring at the Company's annual meeting in 1999,
and Harry J. Muhlschlegel as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the
Company's annual meeting in 2000.
