NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997 and the 
consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the six month periods 
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, 
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial 
position and the results of operations for such periods.  The December 31, 1997 
balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements.  These 
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited 
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the 
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  Certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
omitted, as permitted by the requirements of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures included in 
these financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.


2. GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming 
that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has experienced 
operating losses and negative cash flows in recent years.  At June 30, 1997 and 
December 31, 1996, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its current 
assets by $1.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively.  The Company's future 
depends heavily on raising the capital to fund operations until its revenue 
grows and generates sufficient cash flows to satisfy its indebtedness.  Revenue 
growth and the resulting improved cash flows would enable the Company to reduce 
its third party debt and improve its working relationships with potential 
agents and independent contractors.  The Company is exploring options to raise 
capital and various other potential transactions.  Recent poor results, 
negative cash flows from operations, and inability to remain in compliance with 
financial covenants with its lenders, continue to raise substantial doubts 
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial 
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of 
this uncertainty.

	                                     ==========         ========== 

Under its revolving line of credit agreement the Company may borrow up to a 
maximum of $3,000,000.  Borrowings are limited to 80% of eligible accounts 
receivable and bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% at June 30, 1997 and 
December 31, 1996, respectively) plus 3.25%.  Advances under the line of credit 
agreement are collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable, property and 
other assets.  The agreement contains a clause providing for extension of the 
agreement for one year unless either party notifies the other of their intent 
to terminate the agreement.  At May 31, 1997, the agreement automatically 
extended for one year.  The Company and the lender are currently in the process 
of extending the line of credit for multiple years although no final agreement 
has been approved.

The line of credit is subject to termination upon various events of default, 
including failure to remit timely payments of interest, fees and principal, any 
adverse change in the business of the Company or the insecurity of the lender 
concerning the ability of the Company to repay its obligations as and when due 
or failure to meet certain financial covenants.  Financial covenants include: 
minimum net worth requirements, total debt service coverage ratio, capital 
expenditure limitations, restrictions on compensation levels of key officers, 
and prohibition of additional indebtedness without prior authorization.  As of 
December 31, 1996, the Company was in violation of the debt service coverage 
ratio covenant.  At June 30, 1997, it is in violation of the debt service 
coverage ratio, additional indebtedness, and the net worth covenants.  As a 
result, the lender may at any time declare the commitment terminated and demand 
payment.  Management does not expect the lender to terminate the agreement 
before it expires.

Other-- Outstanding loans from the President of the Company and another General 
Partner of August Investment Partnership ("AIP") (the Company's largest 
shareholders, Kibler and Antonson) was $554,800 at December 31, 1996.  The 
interest rate on these loans approximated the prime rate (8.25%) at December 
31, 1996.

5.  COMMITMENTS  AND CONTINGENCIES

Over the past few years, the Company has had a significant number of lawsuits 
instituted or threatened against it as a result of its poor financial condition 
and its inability to meet certain financial obligations.  For the most part, 
these resulting suits have been settled through cash payments of a reduced 
amount or through the institution of payment plans.  The undisputed claims that 
have not been settled are reflected as liabilities in the Company's financial 
statements and are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying 
consolidated balance sheets.  The Company's significant litigation activity 
that is currently pending includes the following:

McCormick v. Trailblazer.  Mr. McCormick, the owner of C.A. White Trucking 
Company ("White"), filed an action on October 1, 1993, alleging that 
Trailblazer failed to make required payments under an employment contract.  
Trailblazer did not make the payments as a result of a dispute related to 
undisclosed liens on assets purchased from White.  The Company has lost this 
suit, however, Trailblazer was closed in 1994 and has no funds to pay the 
judgment.  The judgement was for approximately $59,000.  The suit has since 
been brought against US 1.  The suit has been dismissed during the second 
quarter of 1997.

Simpson V. Keystone Lines--Mr. Simpson, an independent owner-operator leased to 
Keystone Lines, is claiming approximately $54,000 for injuries he sustained to 
his back while working for the Company.  The Company is vigorously defending 
against this claim on the basis that Mr. Simpson was not an employee and is not 
entitled to a workers compensation claim.

Cam Regional Transport, Inc., Miller, Pry v. Trailblazer, Transcon 
Incorporated.  Mr. Miller and Mr. Pry owners of Cam Regional Transport, Inc., 
filed an action in 1994, alleging that Trailblazer failed to make required 
payments under an employment contract and purchase agreement alleging damages 
of $293,000.  Trailblazer ceased to make the payments as a result of a dispute 
related to their employment and inability to obtain title to the assets 
purchased.  The Company is vigorously defending the action.

In December 1996, Trailblazer Transportation, a subsidiary of Keystone Lines, 
filed for protection from its creditors under the bankruptcy laws.  At June 30, 
1997, Trailblazer's liabilities exceeded its assets.

The Company believes it has adequately reserved for the above claims, however, 
additional liability is possible and the ultimate disposition of these claims 
may have a material adverse effect to the Company's results of operations, cash 
flows and financial position.

The Company carries insurance for public liability and property damage, and 
cargo loss and damage through various programs. The Company's insurance 
liabilities are based upon the best information currently available and are 
subject to revision in future periods as additional information becomes 
available.  Management believes it has adequately provided for insurance 
claims.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As a result of a lawsuit concerning the ownership of property, US 1 Industries, 
Inc. was awarded title to a property in Kansas City less a mortgage of $50,000 
and real estate taxes of approximately $123,000.  The Company believes the 
property to be worth in excess of $450,000.  The Company expects to obtain 
title to the property during the third quarter of 1997.

As of August 4, 1997, AIP and Antonson/Kibler restructured part of their long 
term debt with the company by using the Phoenix property to secure $600,000 of 
debt through mortgages which are due July 3, 2003.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

Results of Operations

The financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this Form 10-
QSB and in the Company's Form 10-KSB for its fiscal year ended December 31, 
1996 are essential to an understanding of the comparisons and are incorporated 
by reference into the discussion that follows.

Three Month Period 1997 Compared to 1996

The Company's operating revenues increased from $4.1 million for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1996 to $6.2 million for the same period in 1997.  The Company's 
operating revenues are generated principally from its truckload carriers, who 
generate sales through independent agents who originate shipments that then are 
transported by independent contractors who own their own equipment.  The 
increase in operating revenues resulted from the addition of Carolina National 
Transportation in January 1997 and Gulf Line Transportation in December 1996.  
 
Total operating expenses increased from $3.9 million in 1996 to $6.2 in 1997.  
The largest component of operating expenses is purchased transportation, which 
generally varies in proportion to operating revenues at approximately 77%.  
Commissions generally vary in proportion to operating revenues.  The Company 
has added salaried agents with the addition of Carolina National Transportation 
and Gulf Line Transportation.  These additions have increased commission 
expense beyond the normal proportions.  Insurance and claims also generally 
vary in proportion to operating revenues, although they also depend on claims 
experience.  Wages, Communications, and Rent increased from $0.2 million to 
$0.4 million from 1996 to 1997 with the addition of Carolina National 
Transportation and Gulf Line Transportation.

Non-operating income and (expenses) increased from an expense of $0.04 million 
in 1996 to $0.08 million in 1997.  Interest expense increased from $.08 million 
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $.1 million for the same period in 
1997.  Interest expense varies in proportion to the Company's outstanding  
interest-bearing indebtedness which increased during 1997 as the result of the 
additional financing of accounts receivable for Carolina National 
Transportation.
 
Overall results for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased to a 
loss of $0.1 million from a gain of $0.1 million for the same period in 1996.  
The difference in additional costs of operations of approximately $0.2 million 
was caused by the operating losses sustained by Carolina National 
Transportation during 1997 and by recovery of a bad debt, which reduced 
expenses in 1996.

<PAGE>


Six Month Period 1997 Compared to 1996

The Company's operating revenues increased from $7.7 million for the first six 
months of 1996 to $10.7 million for the same period in 1997.  The Company's 
operating revenues are generated principally from its truckload carriers, who 
generate sales through independent agents who originate shipments that then are 
transported by independent contractors who own their own equipment.  The 
increase in operating revenues resulted from the addition of Carolina National 
Transportation in January 1997 and Gulf Line Transportation in December 1996.  
These additions also resulted in the increase in the account receivable balance 
from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997.


Total operating expenses increased from $7.5 million for the period ended June 
30, 1996 to $10.8 million for the same period in 1997.  The largest component 
of operating expenses is purchased transportation, which generally varies in 
proportion to operating revenues at approximately 77%.  Purchased 
transportation increased from $5.8 million in 1996 to $8.1 million in 1997.  
Commissions also increased from $0.7 million in 1996 to $1.0 million in 1997.  
Commissions vary in proportion to operating revenues.  Insurance and claims, 
which increased from $0.3 million in 1996 to $0.4 million for 1997, similarly 
vary in proportion to operating revenues, although they also depend on claims 
experience.  The remaining operating expenses increased from $0.7 in 1996 to 
$1.2 million for 1997.

Other expense increased from approximately $80,000 for the first six months of 
1996 to $110,000 for the first six months of 1997 and consists primarily of 
interest expense.  Interest expense varies in proportion to the Company's 
outstanding interest-bearing indebtedness which decreased during 1997 as the 
result of lower FINOVA borrowing on Keystone receivables and the settlement of 
the Landair note of $200,000 at December 31, 1996.

The Company started two new operations, Carolina National Transportation in 
January 1997 and Gulf Line Transportation in December 1996.  The costs of these 
startups resulted in a loss of approximately $0.25 million, which affected the 
overall operating results for the first six months of 1997.  Overall results 
for the first six months of 1997 decreased to a $0.25 million loss from income 
of $0.17 million in 1996. 


Future Prospects

The Company's management remains optimistic about its future prospects.  
Revenue for each month in 1997 has increased over revenue in the prior month.  
In addition, the Company started two new operations at the beginning of 1997, 
Carolina National Transportation and Gulf Line Transportation.  However, the 
Company's future depends on continuing to increase its revenues, its ability to 
resolve its cash flow problems, and bringing its new operations to 
profitability.

<PAGE>

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 1997, the Company's financial position remains precarious.  The 
Company had a deficit in shareholders' equity of $4.4 million and its current 
liabilities of $5.9 million exceeded its current assets by $1.9 million. The 
Company has experienced significant operating losses in the current and prior 
years and losses from discontinued operations in prior years leaving the 
Company in its current position.  The Company's borrowing from the partners of 
AIP and the Company's president to alleviate the current cash shortages has 
enabled the Company to continue in operation.  While the Company's current 
situation is not good, current plans are designed to grow the Company while 
remaining profitable which should enable it to improve its liquidity position.

The Company continues to suffer from negative cash flows from operations, as  
the negative cash flow increased from a negative of $.3 million during the 
first six months of 1996 to a negative $1.6 million during the same period of 
1997.  Cash flow was provided by borrowing $0.7 million from the Company's 
president and a partner of AIP and by borrowing $0.7 million from FINOVA.  This 
borrowing reduced the net negative cash flow to $0.2 million for the six months 
ended June 30, 1997

The Company's principal source of outside liquidity is its $3 million line of 
credit with FINOVA.  The availability of the line of credit is based on 80% of 
Keystone's eligible accounts receivable and 75% of the Carolina National 
eligible accounts receivable.  At June 30, 1997, the outstanding borrowings 
were $1.7 million, which essentially was the entire amount that the Company was 
eligible to borrow. The agreement contains a clause providing for extension of 
the agreement for one year unless either party notifies the other of their 
intent to terminate the agreement.  At May 31, 1997, the agreement 
automatically extended for one year.  The Company and the lender are currently 
in the process of extending the line of credit for multiple years although no 
final agreement has been approved.  The Company is currently in violation of 
several covenants of the lender.  As a result, the lender may at any time 
declare the commitment terminated and demand payment.  The Company expects 
these covenants to be modified as part of the new agreement.
 
Shareholders and potential investors in the Company are cautioned that the 
Company's financial condition remains precarious and that an increase in 
operating performance remain essential to its long-term survival.  
Unfortunately, there can be no assurance that these goals will be achieved.
