                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors
Pilot Transport, Inc.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pilot Transport, Inc. as
of  December  31,  1996 and 1997,  and the  related  statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  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 financial position of Pilot Transport,  Inc. as of
December 31, 1996 and 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1997 AND THE
            NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1998 (UNAUDITED)

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   (a) Description of Business

     Pilot Transport Inc. (the Company) operates a fleet of automobile  carriers
and  provides  transportation  of  automobiles  nationwide,   primarily  to  the
automotive  manufacturers.  The Company's corporate  headquarters are located in
Brighton, Michigan and it has an office in Tempe, Arizona.

   (b) Revenue Recognition

     The Company operates one segment related to the transportation of vehicles.

     The Company's revenue is derived from customers who require  transportation
of vehicles.  Transport  revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the vehicles
to their final  destination.  Expenses  related to the generation of revenue are
recognized as incurred.

   (c) Vehicles and Equipment

     Vehicles and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is determined for
financial  statement purposes using the straight-line  method over the estimated
useful lives of the individual assets.  Accelerated methods of depreciation have
been used for income tax purposes. For financial statement purposes, the Company
provides for depreciation of vehicles and equipment over the following estimated
useful lives.

            Transportation equipment.................................  10 years
            Furniture and fixtures...................................   5 years
            Office and warehouse equipment...........................   5 years
            Automobiles..............................................   5 years

   (d) Income Taxes

     The Company has elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of
the Internal  Revenue  Code.  Under those  provisions,  the Company does not pay
Federal corporate income taxes on its taxable income.  Instead, the stockholders
are liable for  individual  Federal and state income  taxes on their  respective
shares of the Company's  taxable  income.  The State of Michigan has a tax based
primarily  on gross  sales and the  corporation  is subject  to this tax.  Other
states have various corporate taxes not based upon income and the corporation is
subject to these  taxes.  All state taxes are  included in selling,  general and
administrative expense.

     The Company utilizes accelerated  depreciation for transportation equipment
in reporting  taxable  income to its  shareholders.  This results in a lower tax
basis for assets than is reported in the  accompanying  financial  statements of
$2,445,469,  $2,027,962  and  $1,729,441  at  December  31, 1996 and 1997 and at
September 30, 1998, respectively.

   (e) Use of Estimates

     Management  of the Company 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  financial  statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

   (f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     Due to the  short-term  nature of  various  financial  instruments  and the
current  variable   borrowing  rates  available  to  the  Company  on  its  bank
borrowings,  the fair value of the Company's financial instruments  approximates
their carrying values.

   (g) 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 periods presented.

(2) VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

     Vehicles and equipment consist of the following:

(3) FACILITY LOAN PAYABLE

     A note payable to Comerica Bank is a Secured  Accounts  Financing  Facility
("Facility")  Master  Revolving  Note  with  a  variable  rate  (at  one-half  a
percentage  point less than prime  rate) and is due on demand.  The  Facility is
renewed  annually.  The Company can borrow up to $5,000,000 for working  capital
and the purchase of equipment.  Advances and required  repayments are determined
by a formula which is based upon a percentage of eligible  accounts  receivable,
the  price of new  equipment  and a  predetermined  sliding  scale  of  existing
equipment.  Collateral for this note is a first lien on all accounts receivable,
vehicles and equipment.  In addition,  there is a third  collateral  position on
Michigan real estate owned by the Pilot Partners, LLC (see note 5).

(4) PENSION PLAN

     The  Company  has  a  401(k)  profit-sharing  plan  for  substantially  all
employees  who are  over 21  years  of age  and  have  six  months  of  service.
Contributions  are not required by the  Company;  however,  when made,  they are
determined  as a percentage  of each  eligible  employee's  salary.  The Company
contributions for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 (unaudited) were $223,106,  $250,991, $158,396
and $286,485, respectively.

Company  paid  these  partnerships  $96,000,  $24,000,  $24,000  and $0 in lease

   (b) Building and Land Lease

     The Company  leases an office  building in  Brighton,  Michigan and land in

(6) LONG-TERM LEASES

     The Company has entered  into various  operating  leases for a building and

United  States.  Additional  business  is done on  other  routes  at  prevailing

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             JULY 31, 1997 AND 1998

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   (a) Description of Business

     MPG Transco,  Ltd.'s (MPG) primary  business is  transporting  vehicles for
automotive  manufacturers and transporting consumer merchandise for major retail
manufacturers.  MPG's automotive  operations  utilize three terminals in Toledo,
Boston and Newark, while the consumer  merchandise  operation uses a terminal in
Allen Park, Michigan. MPG operates approximately 140 vehicles.

   (b) Revenue Recognition

     MPG operates as one segment related to the  transportation  of vehicles and
consumer merchandise for customers.

     MPG's  revenue is derived  from  customers  who require  transportation  of
vehicles and consumer  merchandise.  Transport  revenue is  recognized  upon the
delivery of the vehicles and consumer  merchandise  to their final  destination.
Expenses related to the generation of revenue are recognized as incurred.

   (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For  purposes of the  statement  of cash flows,  MPG  considers  all highly
liquid debt instruments  with original  maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

   (d)    Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation  is determined for
financial  statement purposes using the straight-line  method over the estimated
useful lives of the individual assets or, for leasehold  improvements,  over the
terms of the related leases if shorter. Accelerated methods of depreciation have
been used for  income  tax  purposes.  For  financial  statement  purposes,  MPG
provides for depreciation of property and equipment over the following estimated
useful lives.

            Transportation equipment..............................   10 years
            Furniture and fixtures................................    5 years
            Office equipment......................................    5 years
            Automobiles...........................................    5 years
            Leasehold improvements................................  3-5 years

   (e) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     Due to the  short-term  nature of  various  financial  instruments  and the
current incremental  borrowing rates available to MPG on bank loans with similar
terms and maturities, the fair value of MPG's financial instruments approximates
their carrying values.

   (f) Income Taxes

     Income  taxes are  accounted  for under  the  asset and  liability  method.
Deferred  tax  assets  and   liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax
consequences   attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
bases,  and tax credit  carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are
measured  using  enacted tax rates  expected  to apply to taxable  income in the
years in which those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be  recovered  or
settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

     (g) Use of Estimates
     Management of MPG 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 financial  statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

   (h) 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 periods presented.

(2) PREPAID AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

     Prepaid and other current assets consist of the following:

</TABLE>

     In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some  portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent  upon the  generation of future  taxable  income during the periods in
which those temporary  differences become deductible.  Management  considers the
projected  future  taxable  income  and  tax  planning  strategies,  as  well as
carryback  opportunities,  in making  this  assessment.  Based upon the level of
historical  taxable income,  projections for future taxable income and carryback
opportunities  over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible,
management  believes  it is more  likely  than not that  MPG  will  realize  the
benefits of these deductible  differences.  The amount of the deferred tax asset
considered  realizable,  however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates
of future taxable income are reduced.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

(8) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

     All employees of MPG are employed by Translesco,  a related entity owned by
the same shareholders of MPG, and leased by MPG.

     Translesco has a retirement  savings plan pursuant to section 401(k) of the
Internal  Revenue Code that is available to all employees  with at least 90 days
of  service  to  Translesco  and who are at  least  18  years  of age.  Eligible
participants may contribute up to 20% of their  compensation.  MPG does not make
contributions to the plan. The  accompanying  financial  statements  include all
payroll and related costs associated with the employees serving MPG.

(9) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     MPG and Translesco  maintain a combined cash management system. As a result
of this arrangement,  approximately  $96,000 and $895,000 were due to Translesco
at July 31, 1997 and 1998,  respectively.  For the years ended July 31, 1997 and
1998,  average  balances due  Translesco  were less than  $100,000  except for a
borrowing in June, 1998, of $1,250,000 and repayments of approximately  $355,000
in July, 1998.

(10) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     Various  legal  claims  arise  against  MPG  during  the  normal  course of
business.  In the  opinion of  management,  liabilities,  if any,  arising  from
proceedings would not have a material effect on the financial statements.

(11) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     The  stockholders  of the Company  entered into a  definitive  agreement on
November 12, 1998 to sell MPG Transco, Ltd. to United Road Services, Inc.

(12) CONCENTRATION OF BUSINESS RISKS

     Sales to the Company's three largest customers,  General Motors, Volkswagen
and Mercedes-Benz, amounted to 22%, 10% and 10%, respectively, of total revenues
for the year ended July 31, 1997 and 43%, 14% and 8%, respectively, for the year
ended  July  31,  1998.  The  loss  of  one  or all  of  these  customers  could
significantly affect MPG's performance.





                                                                    EXHIBIT 99.3

                           UNITED ROAD SERVICES, INC.

                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect
to certain  acquisitions  completed  by United  Road  Services,  Inc.  since its
inception in July 1997. All of these  acquisitions  were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting.

     The September 30, 1998  unaudited  pro forma  combined  balance sheet gives
effect to the  acquisition  by United Road Services,  Inc. of MPG Transco,  Ltd.
("MPG") and Pilot Transport,  Inc. ("Pilot"),  which were consummated on January
11, 1999 and December 9, 1998, respectively.  The unaudited  pro forma  combined
balance  sheet gives  effect to these  acquisitions  as if they had  occurred on
September 30, 1998.  The unaudited pro forma  combined  statements of operations
give  effect to the  acquisitions  of MPG and Pilot as if they had  occurred  on
January 1, 1997.

     The unaudited pro forma combined  statements of operations also give effect
to  the   acquisitions   by  United  Road  Services,   Inc.  of  Northland  Auto
Transporters,  Inc. and Northland  Fleet Leasing,  Inc.,  Falcon Towing and Auto
Delivery, Inc., Smith-Christensen  Enterprises,  Inc. and subsidiary, Caron Auto
Works,  Inc. and Caron Auto Brokers,  Inc.,  Absolute  Towing and  Transporting,
Inc.,  ASC  Transportation  Services  and  subsidiary  and Silver State Towing &
Recovery, Inc. (collectively,  the "Founding Companies"), which were consummated
simultaneously  with  United  Road  Services,  Inc.'s  initial  public  offering
completed  on May 6, 1998,  as if such  acquisitions  had occurred on January 1,
1997.  Additionally,  the unaudited pro forma combined  statements of operations
also give effect to the acquisitions by United Road Services, Inc. of E&R Towing
& Garage,  Inc.  and  Subsidiaries  (E&R"),  Environmental  Auto  Removal,  Inc.
("EAR"), Neil's Used Truck & Car Sales, Incorporated ("Neil's"), 5-L Corporation
and ADP  Transport,  Inc.  ("5L/ADP"),  Car  Transporters  Corporation  ("CTC"),
Schroeder Auto Carriers, Inc. (Schroeders"), Keystone Towing ,Inc. ("Keystone"),
Fast  Towing,   Inc.  ("Fast")  and  Alert  Auto  Transport  ,  Inc.   ("Alert")
(collectively  the `Selected  Acquired  Companies") as if such  acquisitions had
occurred on January 1, 1997.

     To the extent the former owners of the Founding  Companies,  MPG, Pilot and
Selected  Acquired  Companies  have agreed to reductions in salary,  bonuses and
benefits,  these  reductions  have been  reflected  in the  unaudited  pro forma
combined statements of operations.

     The pro forma adjustments are based on estimates, available information and
certain  assumptions,  and may be revised,  as  additional  information  becomes
available.  The pro forma  financial  information  does not purport to represent
what United Road Services,  Inc.'s  financial  position or results of operations
would actually have been had such  transactions  occurred on these dates and are
not necessarily indicative of United Road Services, Inc.'s financial position or
results of operations for any future period.  Since United Road Services,  Inc.,
the Founding Companies,  MPG, Pilot and the Selected Acquired Companies were not
under common  control or  management  during the periods  presented,  historical
combined results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future performance.
The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  financial  statements  should  be  read in
conjunction  with the other  financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included
elsewhere herein.
