                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                       -----------------------------------

To the Administrative Committee of
Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan
South Sioux City, Nebraska

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 
1992, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits 
for the year ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

Except as explained in the following paragraph, 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.

As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, investment assets held by Connecticut General Life
Insurance Company, the funding agent of the plan, and transactions in those
assets were excluded from the scope of our audit of the Plan's 1992 financial
statements, except for comparing the information provided by the funding agent,
which is summarized in Note 5, with related information included in the
financial statements.

Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are
unable to, and do not express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements as
of December 31, 1992. The form and content of the information included in the
1992 financial statements, other than that derived from the information
certified by the funding agent, have been audited by us and, in our opinion, are
presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employees Retirement Income and Security Act
of 1974.

In our opinion, the financial statements, referred to above, of Great West
Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 1993, and for the year
then ended present fairly, in all material respects, the financial status of
Great West Casualty Company Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 1993, and the
changes in its financial status for the year then ended in conformity with
changes in its financial status for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit of the Plan's financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1993, was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules located on
page seven are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary
information required by the department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act
of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 1993, and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The following brief description of the Great West Casualty Company (Company)
Profit Sharing Plan (Plan) is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description.

(a) General

The Plan is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan sponsored by Great West  
Casualty Company, covering all eligible employees of that Company as well as its
affiliates, Joe Morten & Son, Inc., Midwest Insurance, Inc., Motor-Ways, Inc.,  
Truckmen Underwriters Agency, Inc. and National Adjustment Company. It is
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).

(b) Contributions and Participants Accounts

The employer's contribution to the Plan for each plan year is limited to the
maximum amount allowed for tax purposes. Contributions are at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.

Participants in the Plan may contribute annually or on a cumulative basis up to
10% of their compensation received while a participant. Total accumulated
participant contributions, including earnings thereon, were $825,383 and
$750,325 at December 31, 1993 and  1992, respectively. Total annual additions
per participant account during a plan year by the employer and the employee
shall not exceed the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of the participant's compensation
for such year. The term "annual addition" for any plan year means the sum of the
employer contributions, participants voluntary contributions and remainders
credited to a participant's accounts under any such plans for that year.

(c) Eligibility and Vesting

Under the terms of the Plan, an employee shall become eligible for inclusion in
the Plan upon reaching the age 21 with completion of 1,000 hours of service
during the twelve month period beginning with date of hire. Minimum age for
vesting service is 18 years of age.

Benefits upon termination of employment are limited to the participant's    
contributions plus 10% of all other assets accumulated in their profit-sharing
account for each full year of participation not to exceed 100%. However, no
benefits are vested until an employee has completed four years of service.

(d) Payment of Benefits

On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum 
payment or purchase of a single premium life annuity contract. Net assets at    
December 31, 1993, include funds totaling $131,071 which represent the account 
balance of a retired participant who has elected to leave the funds in the plan
upon retirement.

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, Continued

(e) Forfeitures

All forfeitures are segregated until the employee has attained a five year     
break-in-service. At that time forfeitures are allocated pro-rata to each     
participant account according to their respective earnings for that year. There
were unallocated assets of $164,824 and $148,558 at December 31, 1993 and 1992, 
respectively.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of Presentation

The plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets the net appreciation
(depreciation) in the contract value of its investments which consists of the   
realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on
those investments. Benefits are recorded when paid.

(b) Investments

The plan entered into an immediate participation guarantee contract with
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company (Connecticut General). Connecticut
General maintains a.) an employer contribution account b.) a voluntary savings
account and c.) a rollover contribution account for each participant. As
directed by the plan, sixty percent of employer contributions for each
participant are allocated to the Guaranteed Long Term Account and the remaining
forty percent of employer contributions as well as any participant voluntary
contributions are allocated to separate investment funds (see note 5) according
to participant elections. The accounts are credited with earnings on the
underlying investments and charged for Plan benefits paid. The contract is
included in the financial statements at December 31, 1993 and 1992 at contract
value as reported to the Plan by Connecticut General.

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500 for
benefit claims that have been processed and approved for payment prior to

During 1993 the Company sold Dornberger/Berry & Company (Dornberger), an
affiliated agency. Included in amounts allocated to withdrawing participants at
December 31, 1993 is $792,365 representing benefits paid during January 1994 to 
terminating employees of Dornberger.


NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Plan has received an Internal Revenue Service Determination Letter dated May
3, 1989, which states that it qualifies under the provisions of Section 501(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code and is, therefore, exempt from federal income
taxes. Employer contributions and the income of the Plan are not taxable to the
participants until such time as distributions are made.

NOTE 4 - TERMINATIONS

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
