                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                       (UNAUDITED)                   


Note I:      Basis of Presentation

       The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim period.  This financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements, Notes and information
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K and
any intervening reports.

       The results of operations for the three and nine-month
periods ending September 30, 1995, and 1994 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



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

       Operating Revenues for the third quarter of 1995 were
$81,897,502, an increase of $1,029,313 or 1.3% over Operating
Revenues for 1994's third quarter.  For the same periods, Operat-
ing Expenses increased $4,510,503, or 6.8%; Income before Income
Taxes decreased $3,270,261, a decrease of 22.7%; and Net Income
decreased $1,497,388, or 17.5%.  Earnings Per Share decreased to
$.27 from $.32 for the respective quarters, a 15.6% decrease. 
The Net Income and Earnings per Share figures for the 1994 period
reflect an extraordinary charge taken by the Company respecting
operating licenses which amounted to a reduction of $388,666 to
Net Income, or two cents ($.02) per share.

       Operating Revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 were $248,697,282, an increase of $26,818,125, or 12.1% over
the comparable period in 1994.  For the same periods, Operating
Expenses increased $23,528,899, or 12.6%; Income Before Income
Taxes increased $3,388,346, an increase of 9.8%; and Net Income
increased $2,802,816, or 13.2%.  Earnings Per Share increased
from $.80 to $.91, or 13.8%.  The Net Income and Earnings per
Share figures for 1994 also reflect the extraordinary charge for
write-off of intrastate operating authorities noted in the
preceding discussion of third quarter results.

       The Company's overall revenue figures for the third quarter
of 1995 were slightly ahead of the comparable period in 1994.  A
$2.6 million drop in third quarter revenue at New Penn Motor
Express, Inc. ("New Penn") was offset by a revenue increase of
just under $3.6 million at the Arnold Logistics Companies,
namely, Lebarnold, Inc. ("Lebarnold") and SilverEagle Transport,
Inc. ("SilverEagle") and D.W. Freight, Inc. ("DW").  The revenue
gains are attributable primarily to increased volume at the
Arnold Logistics subsidiaries.  New Penn's decrease is attribut-
able to intense competition and to slowing economic conditions in
the Northeast.

       The overall gains reflected in the Company's revenue figures
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, as compared
to the same period in 1994, result from revenue gains at each
operating subsidiary.  Revenues for New Penn for the first nine
months of 1995 showed an increase of approximately $9.8 million
from the same period in 1994.  Revenues for the first nine months
of 1995 among the three divisions of the Arnold Logistics group,
Lebarnold, SilverEagle and DW, reflect increases of approximately
$2.7 million, $11.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, when
compared to the first three quarters of 1994.  These revenue
increases result primarily from increased volume.  Lower 1994
numbers reflect the effects of the Teamsters strike at New Penn
in April of 1994.

       The Company's working capital at the end of the third
quarter of 1995 was $16,783,610.  This is a decrease of
$8,054,888 or 32.4% from the end of the 1994 fiscal year.  The
main reason for the decrease in working capital is the Company's
ongoing capital expansion program.

       The Company's investment in Property and Equipment (Less
Accumulated Depreciation) as of the end of the third quarter of
1995 stood at $195,855,369.  This figure represents an increase
from December 31, 1994 of $26,252,096, or 15.5% and reflects the
Company's ongoing capital expansion program.  Funding for the
Company's continuing capital expansion program will likely be
accomplished through the use of cash generated from current
operating and investment activities, supplemented, when neces-
sary, by short or long-term financing.  Management continues to
seek opportunities for profitable expansion of the Company.

       On October 27, 1995, the Company announced its quarterly
cash dividend of $.11 per share.
