$27,485,558            $5,398
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Estimated for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee only.
The filing fee calculation assumes the purchase of all the outstanding
shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of KLLM Transport
Services, Inc. (the "Common Stock"), a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), including the related preferred stock purchase rights (the
"Rights" and, together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), except for
689,123 Shares beneficially owned by William J. Liles, III, at a per Share
price of $8.05 in cash, without interest.  Based on the Company's
representation, as of May 25, 2000, there were 4,103,478 Shares issued and
outstanding.  Based on the foregoing, the transaction value is equal to the
product of 3,414,355 Shares and $8.05 per Share.  The amount of the filing
fee calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, equals 1/50th of one percent of the value of the
transaction.

0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was

Corp.,  a  Delaware  corporation  and  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Parent
("Purchaser"), and amended thereafter on June 23, 2000, June 26, 2000, June
28, 2000, July 7, 2000 and July 12, 2000 by Parent, Purchaser,  William  J.
Liles, III and Bernard J. Ebbers, relates to a tender offer by Purchaser to
purchase  all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share
(the  "Common   Stock")  of  KLLM  Transport  Services,  Inc.,  a  Delaware
corporation (the  "Company"),  and  the associated preferred stock purchase
rights of the Company (the "Rights" and,  together  with  the Common Stock,
the  "Shares"),  issued  pursuant  to  the  Stockholder  Protection  Rights
Agreement,  dated as of February 13, 1997, by and between the  Company  and
Harris Trust  and  Savings  Bank,  as successor Rights Agent, at a price of
$8.05 per Share and subject to the conditions  set  forth  in  the Offer to
Purchase  dated  June  2,  2000,  as  amended,  and  the related Letter  of
Transmittal   (which,   together   with   any  supplements  or  amendments,
collectively constitute the "Offer"), copies  of  which  were  attached  as
Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively, to the Schedule TO.

ITEMS 1, 4 and 11.

     Items  1,  4  and  11  are  hereby amended and supplemented to add the
following:

     On July 19, 2000, Parent announced that the Subsequent Offering Period
for  Purchaser's  $8.05  per  share  cash  tender  offer  for  all  of  the
outstanding shares of common stock of the Company expired at 5:00 p.m., New
York  City  time,  on Tuesday, July 18, 2000.   Based  on  the  preliminary
information provided  by  the Depositary, approximately 3,297,869 shares of
KLLM common stock were validly  tendered.   The  tendered  shares, together
with  the 689,123 shares acquired by High Road Acquisition Corp.  from  the
Liles family, represent approximately 97% of the outstanding shares of KLLM
common stock.

     Pursuant  to  the  Merger  Agreement,  Parent  intends to complete its
acquisition of the Company by means of a merger of Purchaser  with and into
the Company.  The Company will be the surviving corporation in  the Merger,
and  Parent  will  be the sole stockholder of the Company.  As a result  of
Purchaser obtaining  more  than 90% of the Shares, Parent is able to effect
the Merger pursuant to Section  253 of the DGCL without prior notice to, or
any action by, any other stockholder  of  the Company.  Upon the closing of
the Merger, stockholders of the Company who  did not tender their Shares in
the  Offer,  other than those who properly assert  appraisal  rights  under
Delaware law,  will receive the same price paid during the Offer: $8.05 per
share, net to the seller in cash, without interest.  The Merger is expected
to close in July of this year.
