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 March 31, 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 March 31, 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 first quarter of 1995 
ended on Friday, March 31, 1995.  


NOTE  D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
    
     During the quarter ended March 31, 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 thirteen 
weeks ended March 31, 1995, the Company generated 
$3.9 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 ease plan with 
terms more favorable than could have been obtained 
with financing or capital leasing.  During the first 
quarter 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 $1,200,000.  Capital
expenditures, net of proceeds from trade-ins, 
during the first three months of 1995 were 
approximately $1,547,000.  Net capital
expenditures for the remainder of 1995, primarily 
for revenue equipment, are expected to be
approximately $6,000,000.

     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 $36,000,000 were outstanding at March 31,
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 a $4,150,000 in unsecured working
capital lines of credit with a bank, $3,640,000 of 
which was available at March 31, 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 first quarter of 
1995 increased 20% over the comparable period of 
1994.  The increase in operating revenue
in the first quarter consisted of 7% from the 
Company's traditional over-the-road truckload 
business, substantially all of which
came from the owner-operator division, 2% 
from rail services, 5% from transportation 
brokerage services, and 6% from international
services. 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 first quarter of 1995 increased 
by approximately 11%, from the comparable 
period in 1994.

     The operating ratio decreased from 96.4% 
to 96.2% for the first quarter of 1995 compared 
to the same period in 1994.  Operating
revenues, particularly in our trucking and rail 
operations, 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 quarter of 1995 as 
compared to the same period in 1994 resulted 
in a decrease in the operating ratio of
0.8%.  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 
increased by $93,000 or 28% for the first 
quarter from the comparable period of 1994.
Earnings per share increased from $.07 to 
$.10 in the first quarter of 1995. 


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.
