                     Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1998


(1)  Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


     (a)  Interim Financial Statements

        The interim financial information included in these financial statements
        is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal
        recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
        for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented.
        Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not
        necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending
        December 31, 1998.

     (b)  Description of Business

        United Road Services, Inc. (formerly Towing America, Inc.), a Delaware
        corporation, was formed in July 1997 to become a leading national
        provider of motor vehicle and equipment towing and transport services. 
        United Road Services, Inc. intends to acquire eight businesses, (the
        "Acquisitions"), seven of which are to close simultaneously with the
        consummation of an initial public offering ("Offering") of its common
        stock and one which is expected to close after the Offering.  Subsequent
        to the Offering, United Road Services, Inc. intends to continue to
        acquire similar companies to expand its national operations.

        All of United Road Services, Inc.'s activities to date relate to the
        Offering and the Acquisitions.  As of March 31, 1998, United Road
        Services, Inc. had not yet conducted any operations relative to its
        ultimate intended purpose. United Road Services, Inc. is dependent upon
        the Offering to execute the pending Acquisitions.  United Road Services,
        Inc. has an absence of a combined operating history and future success
        is dependent upon a number of factors which include, among others, the
        ability to integrate operations, reliance on the identification and
        integration of satisfactory acquisition candidates, reliance on
        acquisition financing, the ability to manage growth and attract and
        retain quality management.

     (c)  Income Taxes

        From July 25, 1997 (inception) to December 31, 1997, United Road
        Services, Inc. elected to file federal and State income tax returns
        under S-corporation provisions.  As such, earnings or losses flow
        through to the stockholder level.  Accordingly, no income tax expense or
        benefit has been recorded by United Road Services, Inc. as of December
        31, 1997.

        Effective January 1, 1998, United Road Services, Inc. elected to file
        federal and State income tax returns under C-corporation provisions.  As
        a result of United Road Services, Inc. losses for the three month period
        ended March 31, 1998 and in consideration of anticipated profits
        resulting from operations subsequent to the Acquisitions, a tax benefit
        has been recorded at March 31, 1998 at the effective tax rate expected
        by United Road Services, Inc. for the year ending December 31, 1998.

                           UNITED ROAD SERVICES, INC.

               Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements, Continued


                                 (1) - CONTINUED

                               (D)USE OF ESTIMATES

Management of United Road Services, Inc. has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these unaudited
interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     (e)  Per Share Amounts

        Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available
        to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
        outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the
        potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
        issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or
        resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the earnings of
        the entity (such as stock options).

        The following table provides calculations of both basic and diluted
        earnings per share:

        Three months ended March 31, 1998
                                              Weighted      Per
                                      Net     average      share
                                     loss      shares      amounts

     Basic                       $ (231,691)  2,822,736   $  (.08)

     Diluted                     $ (231,691)  2,822,736   $  (.08)

        The impact of the United Road Services, Inc. options described in note 2
        at March 31, 1998 has not been included in the disclosure of earnings
        per share as the effect would be antidilutive.

     (f)  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
        Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
        Comprehensive Income".  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting
        and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
        general purpose financial statements.  SFAS No. 130 requires all items
        that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
        components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement
        that is displayed in equal prominence with the other financial
        statements.  United Road Services, Inc. adopted SFAS No. 130 during the
        period ended March 31, 1998, however the adoption of SFAS No. 130 did
        not have any effect on the reporting and display of financial position,
        results of operations or cash flows of United Road Services, Inc.  There
        is no difference in the three months ended March 31, 1998 between net
        income (loss) and comprehensive income.

                           UNITED ROAD SERVICES, INC.

               Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements, Continued


(1) - CONTINUED

        In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
        of an Enterprise and Related Information".  SFAS No. 131 established
        standards for the way public companies are to report information about
        operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those
        enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in
        interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  SFAS No. 131 focuses
        on a "management approach" concept as the basis for identifying
        reportable segments.  The management approach is based on the way that
        management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making
        operating decisions and assessing performance.  United Road Services,
        Inc. continues to evaluate the provisions of SFAS No. 131.

        In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
        (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the
        Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use."  SOP
        98-1 requires that certain costs related to the development or purchase
        of internal-use software be capitalized and amortized over the estimated
        useful life of the software.  SOP 98-1 also requires that costs related
        to the preliminary project stage and post-implementation/operations
        stage of an internal-use computer software development project be
        expensed as incurred.  United Road Services, Inc. adopted SOP 98-1 as of
        January 1, 1998.  However due to the initial stages of United Road
        Services, Inc.'s operations, there was no effect on the financial
        position or results of operations during the three months ended March
        31, 1998.

        In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
        (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5, "Reporting on the Costs
        of Start-up Activities."  SOP 98-5 requires the expensing of certain
        costs such as pre-operating expenses and organizational costs associated
        with the company's start-up activities. The effect of adoption is
        required to be accounted for as a cumulative change in accounting
        principle.  United Road Services, Inc. adopted SOP 98-5 as of January 1,
        1998.  However due to the initial stages of United Road Services, Inc.'s
        operations all start-up costs have been expensed during the three months
        ended March 31, 1998.

 ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
     OF OPERATIONS

The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report.

Cautionary Statements

From time to time, in written reports and oral statements, management may
discuss their expectations regarding United Road Services, Inc.'s future
performance.  These "forward-looking statements" are based on currently
available competitive, financial and economic data and management's operating
plans.  They are also inherently uncertain, and investors must recognize that
events could turn out to be significantly different from what management
expects.

Overview

United Road Services, Inc. ("United Road") was formed in July 1997 to become a
leading national provider of motor vehicle and equipment towing and transport
services.  Simultaneously with its initial public offering of Common Stock (the
"Offering") in May 1998, United Road acquired (the "Acquisitions") seven motor
vehicle and equipment towing and transport services companies (the "Founding
Companies") and is now one of the largest providers of these services in the
United States.  The Founding Companies have been in business for periods ranging
from ten to 48 years and operate an aggregate of 15 facilities located in six
states.  United Road has a definitive agreement to acquire an eighth company,
Keystone Towing, Inc. ("Keystone") and expects to complete the Keystone
acquisition upon municipal approval of a contract assignment.  In addition, on
June 10, 1998, United Road entered into definitive agreements to acquire 5-L
Corporation and ADP Transport, Inc.  See "- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

United Road offers a broad range of towing and transport services, including
towing, impounding and storing motor vehicles, conducting lien sales and
auctions of abandoned vehicles and transporting new and used vehicles and heavy
construction equipment.  United Road derives revenue from towing and transport
services based on distance, time or fixed charges and from related impounding
and storage fees.  In the event that impounded vehicles are not claimed by their
owners within prescribed time periods, United Road is paid from the proceeds of
lien sales or auctions.  United Road's customers include commercial entities,
such as automobile leasing companies, insurance companies, automobile auction
companies, automobile dealers, repair shops and fleet operators; law enforcement
agencies such as police, sheriff and highway patrol departments; and individual
motorists.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

Selling, general and administrative expenses incurred during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 are the result of establishing the corporate operations and
support to effect the Offering.  Such selling, general and administrative
expenses consist primarily of corporate officer salaries, operating lease costs
associated with the corporate office and other general operating expenses such
as clerical, communications and operating supplies.

An income tax benefit was recorded by United Road because management believes
that such losses will be recoverable through the generation of taxable income
resulting from operations subsequent to the Acquisitions as described in note 4
of the quarterly financial information included herein.  The income tax benefit
has been recorded at the effective tax rate expected by United Road for the year
ending December 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1998, working capital deficiency was $1,437,077.  Since inception,
United Road has incurred certain costs associated with the Offering, the
Acquisitions and costs related to obtaining a commitment for a revolving line of
credit of $50 million.  United Road met its cash needs during the first quarter
of 1998 primarily through capital provided by its initial investors and through
management of trade credit made available by the vendors and service providers
assisting in the initial public offering process.

United Road completed its initial public offering of 6,600,000 shares of Common
Stock (7,590,000 shares upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option) in May 1998.  The net proceeds available to United Road from the
Offering of $78.3 million ($90.3 million upon exercise of the underwriters'
over-allotment option) were used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price
of the Acquisitions, as described in notes 1(b) and 4 of the quarterly financial
information included herein, expenses incurred in connection with the
Acquisitions, and repayment of certain indebtedness assumed as part of the
Acquisitions.

United Road has obtained a commitment for credit facility from a group of
financial institutions, for which Bank of America will act as agent, enabling
United Road to borrow up to $50 million on a revolving basis (the "Credit
Facility").  The Credit Facility terminates three years from closing, at which
time all outstanding indebtedness will be due.  Borrowings under the Credit
Facility accrue interest, at United Road's option, at either (a) the Base Rate
(which is equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% and (ii)
Bank of America's reference rate), or (b) the Eurodollar Rate (which is equal to
Bank of America's reserve adjusted eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from
1.5% to 2.5% per annum).  The Credit Facility requires United Road to comply
with various loan covenants including (i) maintenance of certain financial
ratios, (ii) restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (iii) restrictions on
liens, guarantees, advances and dividends.  The Credit Facility is subject to
customary drawing conditions.  To the extent United Road draws down the Credit
Facility to finance capital expenditures, the Company's interest expense for
future periods will increase.

United Road's near-term principal sources of cash are (i) net proceeds from the
Offering and (ii) availability to borrow under the Credit Facility.  The
remaining net proceeds of the Offering, together with the Credit Facility, will
be used for future acquisitions, capital expenditures, refinancing of
outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes, and should enable United
Road to fund its day-to-day working capital requirements in the near term.

United Road has selected and is in the process of implementing systems that will
enable it to centralize its accounting and financial reporting activities at its
headquarters in Albany, New York.  In addition, management intends to explore
the development of a national dispatch system for its transport operations.

Management estimates that it will make expenditures of approximately $2.0
million (including costs incurred to date which have not been material) in order
to install an integrated information system.  The vendors of the information
software have informed management that the system will be year 2000 compliant. 
Although United Road expects that it will be required to upgrade and expand this
system in the future , management cannot quantify such expenditures at this
time.

The Founding Companies spent an aggregate of $2.4 million on purchases of
property and equipment, which includes towing and transport vehicles, during the
three months ended March 31, 1998.  United Road expects to make capital
expenditures of an additional $2.3 million during the remainder of 1998. 
Sources of liquidity to meet these demands are expected to be generated from
earnings and related cash flow.

On June 10, 1998, United Road entered into definitive agreements to acquire all
the outstanding common stock of 5-L Corporation ("5-L"), and ADP Transport, Inc.
("ADP"), both Wyoming Corporations, in exchange for an aggregate of
approximately $6.0 million, consisting of approximately $2.5 million in cash 
and 212,023 shares of United Road Common Stock.  5-L's primary business is 
transporting vehicles throughout the United States.  ADP's primary business 
is guaranteeing vehicle leases.

United Road intends to pursue additional acquisition opportunities and expects
to fund future acquisitions through the issuance of additional Common Stock,
borrowings under the Credit Facility, and cash flow from operations.

General Economic Conditions and Inflation

United Road's future operating results may be adversely affected by (i) changes
in general economic conditions, including various federal, state and local laws
and regulations regarding equipment, driver certification, training and
recordkeeping and workplace safety, (ii) the loss of significant customers or
contracts, (iii) success in integrating acquired companies and future
acquisitions, (iv) price changes in response to competitive factors, (v)
seasonal variations, and (vi) the timing of expenditures for new equipment and
the disposition of used equipment.  Although United Road cannot accurately
anticipate the effect of inflation on its operations, management believes that
inflation has not had, and is not likely in the foreseeable future to have, a
material impact on its results of operations.

       in each such transaction represented their intention to acquire the
       securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in
       connection with any distribution thereof and appropriate legends were
       attached to the share certificates issued in such transactions.

       Certain Information Concerning the Company's Initial Public Offering.

          Set forth below is certain information concerning the Company's
       initial public offering (the "Offering").

       Jenrette Securities Corporation; Credit Suisse First Boston and
       BancAmerica Robertson Stephens.

          4.  The Registration Statement set forth a "Proposed Maximum Aggregate

       set forth a "Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price" of $16,445,000.

          5.  The Company sold in the Offering an aggregate of 7,590,000 shares
       of Common Stock (including 990,000 shares sold pursuant to exercise of
       the Underwriters' over-allotment option) at an initial public offering
       price of $13.00 per share.  The aggregate public offering price of the
       shares sold in the Offering (including the shares sold pursuant to
       exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) was $98,670,000.

          6.  During the period from April 30, 1998 (the effective date of the
       Registration Statement) through May 31, 1998, the total expenses paid by
       the Company related to the Offering (determined on a cash basis) were
       $7.4 million.  Such expenses consisted of the following:

          a.  $6.9 million paid to the underwriters in respect of the
              underwriting discount and commission; and

          b.  $490,000 of other expenses.

          7.  None of the payments described in paragraph 6 above represented a
       direct or indirect payment to (i) directors, officers or general partners
       of the Company or to their associates, (ii) persons owning 10% or more of
       any class of equity securities of the Company or (iii) affiliates of the
       Company.

          8.  After deducting the payments described in paragraph 6 above, the
       amount of Offering proceeds that remained was $91.3 million.  The Company
       used $33.1 million of such proceeds as follows:

          a.  $27.8 million to pay the cash portion of the purchase price of the
       seven acquisitions consummated simultaneously with the Offering, $12.3
       million of which was paid directly or indirectly to persons who are now
       directors or officers of the Company.  See "Management's Discussion and
       Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and
       Capital Resources"; and

          b.  $5.3 million to repay certain indebtedness assumed as part of such
              acquisitions.
