      NOTE A-  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information.  They have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and
accordingly, do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. 


NOTE B - ACQUISITION OF CORPORATION

     Effective May 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Vernon Sawyer, Inc., a regional
dry-van truckload carrier based in Bastrop, Louisiana.  Prior operations
of Vernon Sawyer, Inc. are immaterial to the
Company's revenue, net earnings and earnings per share for the periods
ended June 30, 1995 and December 30, 1994. 


     Effective March 1, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Fresh International
Transportation, Inc., a company which provides temperature controlled
transportation via double-stack containers on
railroads.  Results from operations of the Company include operations of
the acquired company since March 1, 1994. 
The excess of purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired is
classified as goodwill and is included in
intangibles in the accompanying balance sheet.  Goodwill is being
amortized by the straight line method over fifteen
years.

     Prior operations of Fresh International Transportation, Inc. are
immaterial to the Company's revenue, net
earnings and earnings per share for the periods ended June 30, 1995 and
December 30, 1994.  


NOTE  C - FISCAL YEAR 

     The Company has adopted a fiscal  year-end on the Friday nearest
December 31.  Accordingly, the second
quarter of 1995 ended on Friday, June 30, 1995.  


NOTE  D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    
     During the first half of 1995, the Company entered into certain
operating leases for revenue equipment with
an average annual minimum rental payment of $4,057,000 through 1999.

     The Company is involved in various claims and routine litigation
incidental to its business.  Management is
of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of consolidated operations of the Company.

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               
Liquidity and Capital Resources

     KLLM Transport Services, Inc.'s primary sources of liquidity are its
cash flow from operations and its existing
credit agreements.  During the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 1995, the
Company generated $11.4 million in net cash
provided from operating activities.

     The growth of the Company's business has required significant
investments in new tractors and trailers, which
were previously financed largely through long-term debt and capitalized
leases.  The vast majority of new tractors are
now (beginning January 1995) being leased under an operating lease plan
with terms more favorable than could have
been obtained with financing or capital leasing.  During the first half of
1995, the Company entered into these operating
leases with average annual minimum rental payments of $4,057,000 through
1999.  The commitment for 1995 is
approximately $2,000,000.  Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from
trade-ins, during the first half of 1995 were
approximately $8,244,000.  Net capital expenditures for the remainder of
1995, primarily for revenue equipment, are
expected to be approximately $1,255,000.

     Effective May 1, 1995, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets of Vernon Sawyer, Inc, a regional
dry-van truckload carrier based in Bastrop, Louisiana.  The acquisition
was financed from net cash provided from
operating activities and existing credit facilities.

     Effective March 1, 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Fresh International
Transportation, Inc., a company which provides temperature controlled
transportation via double-stack containers on
railroads.  The acquisition was financed from net cash provided from
operating activities.

     The Company has a $50,000,000 unsecured revolving line of credit with
a syndication of banks. Borrowings
of $40,000,000 were outstanding at June 30, 1995.  Under the terms of the
agreement, borrowings bear interest at (I)
the higher of prime rate or a rate based upon the Federal Funds Effective
Rate, (ii) a rate based upon the Eurodollar
rates, or (iii) an absolute interest rate as determined by each lender in
the syndication under a competitive bid process
at the Company's option.  Facilities fees from 1/4%  to 3/8% per annum are
charged on the unused portion of this line. 

     Working capital needs have generally been met from net cash provided
from operating activities.  The
Company has $4,150,000 in unsecured working capital lines of credit with
a bank, $1,231,000 of which was available
at June 30, 1995.  Interest is at a rate based upon the Eurodollar rates
with facility fees at 1/4% per annum on the unused
portion of the line.
     
     The Company anticipates that its existing credit facilities along
with cash flow from operations will be
sufficient to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures, and debt
service.


Results of Operations
      
     Operating revenue for the second quarter and first half of 1995
increased 9% and 14% over the comparable
periods of 1994.  The increase in operating revenue in the second quarter
consisted of a 1% decrease from the
Company's traditional over-the-road truckload business, of which a 6%
increase came from the owner-operator division,
a 2% decrease from rail services, 5% increase from transportation
brokerage services, 2% increase from international 
services, and 5% increase from the addition of our new dry-van
over-the-road truckload division.  The increase in
operating revenue in the first half of 1995 consisted of a 3% increase
from the Company's traditional over-the-road
truckload business, of which a 7% increase came from the owner-operator
division, less than 1% increase from rail
services, 5% increase from transportation brokerage services, 3% increase
from international  services, and 3% increase
from the addition of our new dry-van over-the-road truckload division. The
increase in revenue resulted from an increase
in available Company-operated equipment  and an  improvement in rates. 
The average number of Company operated
trucks in the second quarter and first half of 1995 increased by
approximately 11%, from the comparable periods in
1994.

     The operating ratio increased from 91.7% to 95.8% for the second
quarter and from 93.8% to 96.0% for the
first half of 1995 compared to the same periods in 1994.  Operating
revenues and results, particularly in our trucking
and rail operations, were affected by an industry-wide softening in demand
for transportation services during the second
quarter of 1995.  During the first half of 1995, operating revenues were
affected by the West Coast flooding, a Canadian
National Railway strike and industry-wide softness in the transportation
market.   The relative change in the components
of operating expenses during 1995 reflects the increase in purchased
transportation by the newer operating divisions 
as compared to 1994, and the increase in equipment rent regarding the new
operating leases for tractors and trailers, as
previously mentioned.  The increase in gain on sale of revenue equipment
during the first half of 1995 as compared to
the same period in 1994 resulted in a decrease in the operating ratio of
0.5%.  Substantially all of the growth in revenue 
is from the newer operations.   These divisions  are lower margin than the
traditional over-the-road freight  operation
which increases the operating ratio overall; however, they are not as
capital intensive.

     As a result of the foregoing, net earnings decreased by $1,486,000 or
69% for the second quarter and by
$1,393,000 or 56% for the first half of 1995 from the comparable periods
of 1994. Earnings per share decreased from
$.48 to $.15 in the second quarter of 1995 and decreased from $.55 to $.25
in the first half of 1995 compared to the same
periods of 1994. 


Seasonality

     In the transportation  industry, results of operations generally show
a seasonal pattern because customers reduce
shipments during and after the winter holiday season with its attendant
weather variations.  The Company's operating
expenses have historically been higher in the winter months primarily due
to decreased fuel efficiency and increased
maintenance costs in colder weather.
