3.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

	Contract Services and Transit are involved from time to time in 
various actions that are incidental to the ordinary course of their 
businesses, including property damage and personal injury claims. 
Management believes that the disposition of these matters will not have 
a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.


4.	PROVISION FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

	In accordance with SFAS No. 109 ("Accounting for Income 
Taxes"), the Company recorded an additional federal income tax 
provision of $405,000 during the three month period ended September 
30, 1993 to reflect the impact the higher federal income tax rate had on 
its net deferred federal income tax liability.


5.	EXTRAORDINARY LOSS

	In May 1993, the Company refinanced its primary debt facilities.  This 
refinancing resulted in the write-off of $549,000 of deferred debt costs, net 
of tax, which has been accounted for as an extraordinary loss. 


6.	AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

	At the Company's annual meeting of shareholders in April 1994, upon 
the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the shareholders of the 
Company amended the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (Articles).  
The amendment:  (1) eliminated the prohibition on the issuance of classes 
of capital stock without voting rights, (2) authorized a separate and single 
class of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock issuable in series, and (3) 
granted the Board of Directors the authority to determine and state the 
designations and relative preferences, limitations, voting rights, if any, and 
other rights of each such series by filing an amendment to the Articles.  All 
shares of preferred stock of the same series must be identical with each 
other in all respects.  As of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q, no 
preferred stock has been issued.


7.	STOCK PLANS

	1994 Restricted Stock Plan - At the Company's annual meeting of 
shareholders in April 1994, the shareholders of the Company also 
approved the Board of Directors' (Board) decision to establish the 1994 
Restricted Stock Plan (Plan).  The Plan authorizes the Company to issue 
500,000 shares of restricted common stock, no par value, to officers and 
other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The 
Compensation Committee (Committee) of the Board will determine the 
individuals to whom shares will be granted and will determine the terms of 
the grants, including the number of shares to be awarded, the required 
holding period before restrictions on transferability lapse, and other 
restrictions the Committee deems advisable.  Grantees of shares under the 
Plan shall be entitled to exercise full voting rights and receive all dividends 
and other distributions paid with respect to those shares.  As of the date of 
the filing of this Form 10-Q, no shares have been granted under the Plan.

	Stock Option Plans - At the Company's annual meeting of 
shareholders in April 1994, the shareholders of the Company also 
approved an amendment to one of the Company's stock option plans.  The 
amendment increases the number of shares of common stock issuable 
under the option plans to 560,000 shares.  Concurrent with this approval, 
the Committee granted to directors of the Company and certain officers 
and key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries options to acquire 
152,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $8.625 per share.


8.	AMENDED FINANCING AGREEMENTS

	In June 1994, the Company amended the financing agreement used by 
Contract Services to finance the acquisition of new school buses.  The 
amended financing agreement, which now extends through December 
1995, provides an additional $15 million borrowing capacity and slightly 
reduced interest rates.  In  September 1994, the Company amended its 
revolving credit facility.  The amended facility provides an additional $5 
million borrowing capacity through November 1994 and slightly reduced 
interest rates.


9.	INVESTMENT BANKING FIRM RETAINED

	The Company's Board of Directors has retained an investment banking 
firm to explore alternatives to enhance shareholder value.  These 
alternatives may include the possibility of a sale, a spin-off to shareholders 
of one or both of the Company's principal subsidiaries, or a combination 
with one or more businesses complementary to the Company's existing 
operations.  No decision has been made as to whether, when, or in what 
form a transaction will take place.


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

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

	Operating revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 
1994, were $192.8 million, an increase of 6.6% over  last year.  Net 
loss for the three months ended September 30, 1994, was $1.4 million, 
or $.11 per share, compared to a loss of $379,000, or $.03 per share, for 
the same period in 1993.  Operating results for the 1994 third quarter 
were at break-even compared to a profit of $1.8 million in 1993.
 
Contract Services

	Contract Services' operating revenues for the three months ended 
September 30, 1994, were $51.8 million versus $42.2 million for the 
same period in 1993, an increase of 22.7%.  Public Transportation 
revenues increased $6.1 million, or 34%, to $24.1 million primarily 
due to continued expansion of this business.  School transportation 
revenues increased $3.5 million, or 14.3%, to $27.7 million principally 
as a result of new contracts and price increases on existing contracts. 

	Operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 1994, 
was $7.1 million, an increase of $500,000 from the same period in 
1993.  Due to the seasonal nature of the School Transportation division 
revenues, operating losses are normally experienced in the third 
quarter.  School Transportation division operating margin for the third 
quarter of 1994 was a loss of $4.7 million, flat in comparison to the 
same period in 1993.  Public Transportation division gross margin 
decreased approximately $600,000 from the 1993 level to $320,000 in 
1994.  General and administrative expenses were $160,000 less than 
1993, offsetting some of this decline.

	Net growth produced operating margin increases of approximately 
$200,000 for the Public Transportation division.  However, higher 
wage and related costs as well as unanticipated costs on a new contract 
more than offset profits from this growth.  

	Higher vehicle repairs and maintenance costs and an increase in 
the provision for self-insured claims offset School Transportation 
division profits from net new business.

Transit

	Transit's operating revenues for the three months ended September 
30, 1994, increased $2.4 million, or 1.7%, to $141 million.   Operating 
profits for the 1994 third quarter were $7.2 million, a decline of $1.3 
million from the same period in 1993.  Both of Transit's key operating 
divisions, Household Goods and Special Transportation Services, as 
well as the Company's insurance operations, posted declines in 
operating gross margins for the third quarter.  Partially offsetting these 
declines were reduced general and administrative expenses.

	Household Goods' revenues for the third quarter of 1994 were 
$103.2 million compared to $103.6 million in 1993.  Revenues from 
Transit's Moving and Storage business, a component of the Household 
Goods division, increased $2.8 million to $13.6 million primarily due to 
business growth in the East and Southeast sectors, the start-up of a new 
agency in Los Angeles, and the acquisition of an agency located in 
Philadelphia.  However, revenue from other Household Goods business 
declined to $89.6 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 3.6%, from the 
1993 third quarter.  The $3.3 million decline in other Household Goods 
revenues is primarily due to a drop of 9.5% in shipments, offset 
somewhat by a 6.5% improvement in average per shipment revenue.  
Shortages in our hauling fleets as well as an industry wide decline in 
1994 of military and government business resulted in an overall 
reduction in the number of shipments.   The improvement in the average 
revenue earned per shipment is due to both a 6% general tariff increase 
effective March 28, 1994, and the shift from smaller government and 
military shipments to larger C.O.D. and corporate account shipments.

	Third quarter 1994 operating revenues for the Special 
Transportation Services (STS) division were $33.2 million compared to 
$31.1 million in 1993.  STS's Electronics and Trade Show business 
contributed $1.1 million of the increased revenue, principally due to an 
increase of 5.3% in the average price per shipment.  International 
business, a component of the STS division, and other revenues also 
increased during the third quarter of 1994.

	Operating profits for the third quarter ended September 30, 1994, 
were $7.2 million, or $1.3 million less than the prior year period.   
While increased revenues in Moving & Storage operations produced 
operating gross margin increases of $450,000, lower shipment volume, 
as well as higher net cargo and delay claims, reduced total Household 
Goods' operating margin by approximately $1 million for the quarter.  
Transit's STS division operating margins were also lower for the 
quarter.   Higher hauling, salaries, and other operating costs reduced 
STS operating margin by $1.2 million.   Transit's insurance operations 
also experienced higher claims costs for the quarter, reducing operating 
profits by $300,000.  General and administrative expenses during the 
third quarter decreased $1.0 million compared to the same period in 
1993.  Transit is continuing to experience favorable results from cost 
containment programs and organizational changes implemented in the 
latter part of 1993.  

Interest Income and Interest Expense

	Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1994, 
was $304,000 compared to $850,000 for the same period in 1993.  This 
decrease is primarily a result of a change in the financing arrangements 
for Transit's equipment sales and financing subsidiary.  In December 
1993, this subsidiary began selling installment notes receivable 
recorded from sales of equipment by this subsidiary to various financial 
institutions.  Previously, these notes receivable were financed directly 
by the Company resulting in the recording of interest income.  
Beginning in 1994, the positive interest margin is recorded as a 
component of operating profit.

	Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 1994, 
was $2.4 million, a decrease of $140,000 from the comparable period in 
1993.  The reduction in interest expense due to the change in financing 
arrangements of Transit's equipment sales and financing summary is 
partially offset by increased borrowings by Contract Services for new 
bus acquisitions in the latter part of 1993.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

	Operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, 
totaled $546.8 million, an increase of $44.5 million, or 8.9%, over the 
first nine months in 1993.  Net income for the nine month period ended 
September 30, 1994, was $3 million, or $.24 per share, compared to 
$3.3 million, or $.26 per share, for the same period in 1993.  The 1993 
results include an extraordinary charge of $549,000, or $.04 per share, 
for the early retirement of debt.  Operating profits for this nine month 
period declined to $11 million from $11.7 million in 1993.

Contract Services

	Contract Services' operating revenues for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1994, were $194.0 million, up from $166.6 million for 
the same period in 1993, an increase of 16.5%.  Public Transportation 
revenues increased $21 million, or 42.5%, to $70.4 million primarily 
due to continued expansion of this business.  Revenues from School 
Transportation business increased $6.5 million, or 5.6%, to $123.7 
million, largely as a result of improved pricing on new contracts as 
compared to previous arrangements.

	Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, 
was $4.4 million, a decrease of $1.2 million from the same period in 
1993.  Both Public Transportation and School Transportation operating 
margins decreased by approximately $640,000 each.  General and 
administrative expenses were flat with 1993.

	Continued net new business growth in the Public Transportation 
division and a lower provision for self-insured claims contributed 
approximately $1,000,000 to operating margins.  However, difficulties 
in two major operations, increased vehicle maintenance expenses, and 
increased wages offset these favorable items.

	The operating margin decrease of $640,000 from School 
Transportation business was due primarily to an increase in the 
provision for self-insured claims as well as higher vehicle repair and 
driver related costs.  Profits from net new contracts and reduced fuel 
costs offset a portion of the decrease.

Transit

	Transit's operating revenues for the nine months ended September 
30, 1994, increased by $17 million, or 5.1%, to $352.8 million.  
Operating profits for the nine month period increased about $500,000 
to $7.2 million over 1993.

	Household Goods' revenues for the first nine months of 1994 were 
$242 million compared to $232.5 million in the prior year.  Revenues 
from Transit's Moving and Storage business, a component of the 
Household Goods division, increased $7.7 million to $34.1 million 
primarily as a result of an overall increase in business, the start-up of a 
new agency in Los Angeles, and the acquisition of an existing agency 
located in Philadelphia.  Also, revenues from other Household Goods 
business increased slightly by $1.8 million to $207.8 million.  While the 
number of shipments in other Household Goods business declined from 
the prior year, a 6.8% increase in the average price earned per shipment 
more than offset this volume decrease.  The improvement in the average 
revenue earned per shipment is due to both the 6% general tariff 
increase effective March 28, 1994, and the shift from smaller 
government and military shipments to larger C.O.D. and corporate 
account shipments.  Shortages in our hauling fleets, as well as an 
industry wide decline in 1994 of military and government business 
resulted in an overall reduction in the number of shipments.  

	Revenues for the first nine months of 1994 for the Special 
Transportation Services (STS) division were $96.5 million compared to 
$89.7 million for the same period in 1993, an increase of $6.8 million, 
or 7.6%.  STS's Electronics and Trade Show business contributed $3.9 
million of the increased revenue in the first nine months of 1994 
primarily due to an increase in the number of shipments.  International 
business increased $2.9 million while other revenues remained flat.

	Operating profits for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, 
were $7.2 million, compared to $6.7 million in the same period last 
year.  The East and Southeast sectors of the Moving and Storage 
operations contributed improved operating margins of $700,000 while 
other Household Goods business margins were flat.  Operating margins 
for the STS division were $1.5 million below 1993 levels primarily due 
to higher hauling, salaries, and other operating expenses.  Higher claims 
costs in Transit's Insurance operations also reduced operating profits by 
$450,000.  General and administrative expenses in 1994 declined by 
$1.0 million compared to the same period in 1993.  Transit is 
continuing to experience favorable results from cost containment 
programs and organizational changes implemented in the latter part of 
1993.  As described below, operating profit was favorably affected due 
to a change in financing arrangements.

Interest Income and Interest Expense

	Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, 
was $800,000 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 1993, a 
decrease of $1.2 million.  This decrease is primarily a result of a change 
in financing arrangements of Transit's equipment sales and financing 
subsidiary.  In December 1993, this subsidiary began selling installment 
notes receivable recorded from sales of equipment by this subsidiary to 
various financial institutions.  Previously, these notes receivable were 
financed directly by the Company resulting in the recording of interest 
income.  Beginning in 1994, the positive interest margin is recorded as 
a component of operating profit.

	Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, 
was approximately the same when compared to the same period in 
1993.  There was an $800,000 increase due to new Contract Services 
debt incurred in September 1993 for the purchase of new buses.  
Offsetting most of this increase was a reduction in interest expense due 
to the change in the financing arrangements of Transit's equipment sales 
and financing subsidiary as explained earlier.

Seasonality

	Peak business levels for Contract Services occur during the 
traditional school months of September through May.  For example, 
during 1993 approximately 86% of Contract Services' School 
Transportation revenues were generated during these nine months.

	At Transit, proportionately more household goods moves occur 
during the summer months.  During 1993, for example, approximately 
45% of the Household Goods division's revenues were generated during 
the months of June through September.

	Due to the seasonal impact of revenue being generated by each of 
the Company's two operating subsidiaries as discussed above, the 
Company historically realizes higher net income in the second and 
fourth quarters than in the first and third quarters of the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	Total cash decreased by $4.8 million from December 31, 1993, to 
September 30, 1994.  Operating activities contributed $14.9 million and 
financing activities provided $14.1 million during the nine month 
period.  This was offset by the use of cash in investing activities of 
$33.8 million.

	The $14.9 million in cash provided by operations was primarily 
due to $19.7 million provided by net income, after adding back items 
not affecting cash.  Net cash of $4.8 million was used for working 
capital purposes.  Cash was used to finance the increase of $24.1 
million in accounts receivable resulting from the Company's revenue 
growth and the seasonal impact on Transit's receivables.  Offsetting 
these uses of cash, other accrued expenses have increased $9.6 million 
during the nine month period due to increased liabilities on accrued 
unbilled accounts receivable and accrued payroll.  In addition, trade 
accounts payable have increased $6.4 million during the nine months 
due to increased business.

	For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company used 
$33.8 million, net, for investing activities.  The Company used $34.5 
million for the purchase of property and equipment, primarily the 
purchase of school buses by Contract Services and, to a lesser extent, 
trailers by Transit.

	The Company has working capital of $37.7 million at September 
30, 1994, which is $1.5 million less than the working capital at 
December 31, 1993.  This decrease is primarily due to increased short-
term borrowings of $4.5 million.  The Company has a $20 million 
revolving credit facility available to meet working capital needs of 
which $4.5 million was used at September 30, 1994.  Total debt at 
September 30, 1994, was $111.9 million compared to $97.7 million at 
December 31, 1993, representing a $14.2 million increase in total debt 
during the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  During the first 
nine months, the Company received $9.7 million, net of payments, from 
its bus financing  facility to acquire new buses at Contract Services.

	At September 30, 1994, the Company has committed to 
approximately $5 million in capital expenditures for the fourth quarter 
of 1994 for 125 school and public transit buses to be used by Contract 
Services.  In acquiring these assets, the Company will consider various 
available leasing alternatives or utilize funds available under existing 
financing arrangements.  

	The Company believes cash flow from operations combined with 
existing financing arrangements will be more than adequate to fund 
short and long-term cash requirements.
