his beneficial ownership of 699,644 shares of the common stock, $1.00 par
value, of KLLM Transport Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

Schedule 13D filing dated October 10, 1997, and amendments thereto dated
March 30, 2000, April 20, 2000 and May 1, 2000. The first amendment was
filed for the purpose of reporting the Reporting Person's communication to
the Board of Directors of the Issuer that he had a strong interest in
acquiring the Issuer and was in the process of developing a proposal that
may have the effect of one or more of the actions or transactions described
in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of this Schedule. The second
amendment was filed for the purpose of reporting the Reporting Person's
proposal to acquire the Issuer. The third amendment was filed for the
purpose of reporting the Reporting Person's intent to participate in the
bidding process for the sale of the Issuer established by the Special

the Issuer or the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person is engaged in
efforts to present another proposal to the Special Committee of the
Issuer's Board of Directors.
The Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate plans or
proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out
any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j)
of Item (4) of this Schedule, to the extent deemed advisable by the
Reporting Person.

RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
