        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                MARCH 31, 1996


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 and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In management's opinion, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals)  necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  Operating results for the three-month period ended March
31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


NOTE B:  NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

In the first three months of 1996, the Company's subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport,
Inc., entered into installment obligations for the purchase of replacement
revenue equipment in the aggregate amount of $1.9 million payable in 48 monthly
installments at an interest rate of 6.95%.


NOTE C:  ACQUISITION

On March 11, 1996, the Company closed the purchase of all of the outstanding
capital stock (the "Shares") of Allen Freight Services, Inc., a Missouri
corporation ("AFS").  The total purchase price for the Shares was $200,000,
which was negotiated by the parties at arms-length.  Assets of approximately
$3.7 million were acquired and liabilities of approximately $3.5 million were
assumed.  The Company paid the purchase price by utilizing its existing line of
credit.


The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method, effective
March 11, 1996, with the operations of AFS included in the Company's financial
statements since that date.  If the acquisition had occurred at the beginning
of fiscal 1995, the effect on consolidated operating revenues, net income and
net income per share would not have been material.  The purchase price has been
allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of
the date of the acquisition.  Approximately $1.5 million in goodwill was
recorded as a result of the purchase allocation and is being amortized over a
25-year period.  The Company also entered into three-year Non-Competition
Agreements with the four former shareholders and officers/employees of AFS.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

For the quarter ended March 31, 1996 revenues increased 6.6% to $23.5 million
as compared to $22.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The
increase in revenues was attributable to a 15.1% increase in average tractors
from 630 in 1995 to 742.  A total of 143 were added in connection with the
acquisition of AFS on March 11, 1996, producing revenues of $1.2 million for
the first quarter of 1996.  Utilization of equipment declined 8.4% in the first
quarter of 1996 when revenue per tractor per work day is compared to the first
quarter of 1995 (see General Motors strike discussion).

The Company's operating ratio was 90.9% of revenues in the first quarter of
1996 compared to 89.3% in the first quarter of 1995.

Salaries, wages and benefits decreased from 45.7% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1995 to 44% of revenues in the first quarter of 1996.  The factors
contributing to the decrease are as follows:  a decrease in maintenance wages
which can be attributed to the Company's newer fleet; a decrease in the
Arkansas unemployment rate from 2.4% in the first quarter of 1995 to .5% for
the first quarter of 1996; and, a decrease in worker's compensation expense
which reflects the Company's favorable loss experience.

Operating supplies and expenses increased from 18.2% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1995 to 19.4% of revenues in the first quarter of 1996. Fuel expense
increased reflecting increased fuel prices for the quarter.  The increase in
fuel expense was offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance resulting from
the Company's more modernized fleet.

Rent and purchased transportation decreased from 2.7% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1995 to 1.6% of revenues in the first quarter of 1996.  This
reduction relates to the use of rental equipment by Choctaw Express, Inc., a
subsidiary of the Company, in the first quarter of 1995, which was replaced by
Company owned equipment in 1996.

The Company incurred an increase in depreciation expense as a result of the new
equipment being placed into service.  Depreciation expense increased from 9.1%
of revenues in the first quarter of 1995 to 12.2% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1996.

The Company's results for the quarter were adversely affected by a General 
Motors brake plant strike for 23 days. The strike not only idled the G.M. 
system but had repercussions felt by manufacturers and suppliers not normally 
thought to be associated with the auto industry.  Equipment utilization, as 
measured in miles per truck per day, decreased 48 miles as a result of the 
strike, while costs declined only marginally due to the proportion of costs 
which are relatively fixed.

Interest expense increased from the first quarter of 1995 primarily as a result
of borrowings for equipment purchases.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


P.A.M. Transport, Inc., has a $10.0 million secured bank line of credit subject
to borrowing limitations.  Outstanding advances on this line of credit were
approximately $6.9 million (at an interest rate of 7.94%) at March 31, 1996.
The Company's borrowing base limitation at March 31, 1996 was $10.0 million.
The line of credit is guaranteed by the Company and matures May 31, 1997.

The Company entered into installment obligations in the first quarter of 1996
for the purchase of replacement revenue equipment for approximately $1.9
million payable in 48 monthly installments at an interest rate of 6.95%.

During 1996 the Company plans to replace and/or add 200 trailers and 100
tractors and expects to incur additional equipment financing debt of 
approximately $9.4 million.

Operating results during the first quarter of 1996 provided net cash from
operations of approximately $1.4 million.

Management expects that the Company's existing working capital and its
available line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's commitments
as of March 31, 1996, and to fund its operating needs during fiscal 1996.
However, if additional financing were required, management believes that such
financing would be available from its existing lender.



ACQUISITION

On March 11, 1996 the Company closed the purchase of all of the outstanding
capital stock (the "Shares") of Allen Freight Services, Inc. ("AFS"), a
Missouri corporation.  The total purchase price for the Shares was $200,000,
which was negotiated by the parties at arms-length.  The acquisition was
financed through borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit agreement
and available cash, and the acquisition has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting effective March 11, 1996 with operations included
in the Company's financial statements beginning on the acquisition date.  The
Company will also make payments under three-year Non-competition agreements
which were entered into with four AFS former stockholders and
officers/employees.  See Note C to the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements (unaudited).

EXHIBIT 11

               STATEMENT RE:  COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share computations assumes the exercise of stock warrants and
options to purchase shares of common stock.  The shares assumed exercised are
based on the weighted average number of warrants and options outstanding during
the period.  Under the treasury stock method of computing earnings per share,
the number of shares of treasury stock assumed to be repurchased is limited to
20% of common stock outstanding, with the remaining shares assumed to be newly
issued and with the excess proceeds assumed to have reduced long-term
borrowings outstanding for the periods.
