     * 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.  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
the one percent of the value of the transaction.

[ ] Check box if any part of the fee is offset as provided by Exchange Act Rule
0-11(a)(2) and identify the filing with which the offsetting fee was previously

     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13e-3
filed by KLLM Transport Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on June 23, 2000
in relation to the tender offer being made by High Road Acquisition Subsidiary
Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary
of High Road Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), to purchase
all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company not owned by
Purchaser or its affiliates at a purchase price of $8.05 per share, net to the
seller in cash, without interest thereon, less applicable withholding taxes, if
any, (the "Offer Price") upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated June 2, 2000 (as amended or supplemented
from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, constitutes the "High
Road Offer").  The High Road Offer is described in a Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule TO (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Schedule TO"),
filed by Parent and Purchaser with the Commission on June 2, 2000, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 filed by the Company with the Commission on
June 22, 2000 and June 30, 2000, respectively
<PAGE>

(collectively, the "Schedule 14D-9"). The High Road Offer is being made in
accordance with the Plan of Agreement and Merger, dated as of May 25, 2000,
among Parent, Purchaser and the Company (the "Merger Agreement"), a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibit (e)(1). The Merger Agreement provides that,
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, following
completion of the Offer, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation
Law (the "DGCL"), Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the
"Merger"). Following the consummation of the Merger, the Company will continue
as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and will be a wholly
owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective
Time"), each issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by Parent,
Purchaser, any of their respective subsidiaries, the Company or its subsidiary,
which Shares will be cancelled, and Shares, if any, held by stockholders who did
not vote in favor of the Merger Agreement and who comply with all of the
relevant provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL relating to dissenters' rights of
appraisal) will be converted into the right to receive $8.05 in cash or any
greater amount per Share paid pursuant to the High Road Offer (the "Merger
Consideration"). A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit
(e)(1) to the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company with the Commission on June 2,
2000, and is incorporated herein by reference.

     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to
