        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                  JUNE 30, 1998

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 six-month period ended June 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1998. 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, 1997.

NOTE B:  NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
In the first six months of 1998, the Company's subsidiary, P.A.M. Dedicated
Services, Inc., entered into installment obligations for the purchase of revenue
equipment in the aggregate amount of approximately $20.8 million. These
obligations are payable in 36 and 60 monthly installments at interest rates
ranging from 7.00% to 7.50%.

NOTE C:  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivitive Instruments
and Hedging Activities". The Statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability at its fair value. The Company has
determined that the adoption of this statement will have no material effect on
its financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may relate to
financial results and plans for future business activities, and are thus
prospective. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties
and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general
economic conditions, competition and other uncertainties detailed in this report
and detailed from time to time in other filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, revenues increased 14.9% to $36.0 million
as compared to $31.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. The main
factor for the increase in revenues was a 15.0% increase in the average number
of tractors from 914 in the second quarter of 1997 compared to 1,051 in second
quarter of 1998.

The Company's operating ratio improved to 86.3% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1998 compared to 86.4% in the second quarter of 1997.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 43.6% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1997 to 45.1% of revenues in the second quarter of 1998. This
increase was due to an increase in amounts paid to drivers due to changes in
driver pay packages early in the first quarter of 1998.

Operating supplies and expenses decreased from 18.4% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1997 to 18.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 1998. The decrease
represents a lower price paid for diesel fuel.

Rent and purchased transportation decreased from 1.4% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1997 to 0.7% of revenues in the second quarter of 1998. This decrease
was due to the replacement of rental trailers with company-owned trailers.

Communications and utilities increased from 0.8% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1997 to 1.1% of revenues in the second quarter of 1998 due to
increased usage of Qualcomm units and federal surcharges related to inbound
"toll-free" calls initiated from payphones.

The Company's effective tax rate remained constant at 38% for the periods
compared.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, revenues increased 11.7% to $71.5
million as compared to $64.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
main factor for the increase in revenues was a 12.1% increase in the average
number of tractors from 917 for the first six months of 1997 compared to 1,028
for the first six months of 1998.

The Company's operating ratio improved to 87.4% of revenues in the first six
months of 1998 compared to 88.6% in the first six months of 1997.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 45.0% of revenues in the first six
months of 1997 to 45.4% of revenues in the first six months of 1998. This
increase was due to an increase in amounts paid to drivers due to changes in
driver pay packages early in the first quarter of 1998. This increase in driver
pay was partially offset by a reduction in the amount accrued for the Company's
1998 Incentive Bonus Plan.



                                       6
<PAGE>   7

Operating supplies and expenses decreased from 19.5% of revenues in the first
six months of 1997 to 18.7% of revenues in the first six months of 1998. The
decrease represents a lower price paid for diesel fuel.

Rent and purchased transportation decreased from 1.3% of revenues in the first
six months of 1997 to 0.7% of revenues in the first six months of 1998. This
decrease was due to the replacement of rental trailers with company-owned
trailers.

Communications and utilities increased from 0.7% of revenues in the first six
months of 1997 to 1.1% of revenues in the first six months of 1998 due to
increased usage of Qualcomm units and federal surcharges related to inbound
"toll-free"calls initiated from payphones.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first six months of 1998, the Company generated $13.2 million in cash
from operating activities. Investing activities used $20.9 million in cash in
the first six months of 1998. Financing activities generated $6.5 million in the
first six months of 1998 primarily from the borrowing of long-term debt.

The Company's principal subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., has a $15.0 million
secured bank line of credit subject to borrowing limitations. The line of credit
includes a provision that allows the Company to finance equipment at a reduced
interest rate of LIBOR + 1.50% (currently 7.16%). The maximum amount of
equipment that may be financed under this equipment provision is $7.5 million
with the remaining $7.5 million representing a general "working capital" line of
credit at an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.15% (currently 7.81%). Outstanding
advances on this line of credit were approximately $1.5 million at June 30,
1998, which consisted entirely of letters of credit. The Company's borrowing
base limitation at June 30, 1998 was $15.0 million. The line of credit is
guaranteed by the Company and matures on May 31, 1999 while the equipment
portion of the line of credit matures on May 31, 2000.

In addition to cash flow from operations, the Company uses its existing line of
credit on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term
debt. Longer-term transactions, such as installment notes (generally three to
five year terms at fixed rates), are typically entered into for the purchase of
revenue equipment; however, the Company purchased additional revenue equipment
during the first six months of 1998 with a cost of approximately $3.2 million
using its existing line of credit. In addition, P.A.M. Dedicated Services, Inc.,
a subsidiary of the Company, entered into installment obligations during the
first six months of 1998 for the purchase of revenue equipment in the amount of
approximately $20.8 million payable in 36 and 60 monthly installments at
interest rates ranging from 7.00% to 7.50%.

During the remainder of 1998, the Company plans to replace 338 tractors and to
add 57 additional new tractors which would result in additional debt of
approximately $21.1 million. Management expects that the Company's existing
working capital and its available line of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's capital commitments as of June 30, 1998, to repay indebtedness coming
due in the current year, and to fund its operating needs during the remainder of
fiscal 1998.

YEAR 2000

In the next two years, many companies may face a potentially serious information
systems problem because their computer software applications and operational
programs may not properly recognize calendar dates beginning in the year 2000.
This problem could force computers to either shut down or provide incorrect data
or information. The Company began the process of identifying the changes
required to its computer programs and hardware in 1997. Software upgrades
designed to correct the year 2000 problem are scheduled to be implemented by the
second quarter of 1999. Accordingly, the Company believes that it will
timely meet its year 2000 compliance requirements, and does not presently
anticipate the cost of these software and hardware changes to have a material
adverse impact on its business, financial condition, or results of operation.
However, there can be no assurance that unforeseen difficulties or costs will
not arise. The Company has issued certification requests to the software
companies on which its computer programs rely seeking assurance that they will
be year 2000 compliant. Approximately 90% of the questionnaires have been
returned. Respondents have indicated that they are year 2000 compliant now or
will be in advance of the year 2000.

      THIS AGREEMENT made effective as of the 1st day of July, 1998 by and

      The following is a recital of facts underlying this Agreement and it
replaces, survives and eliminates all prior agreements and is a continuation of
employment.

      P.A.M. is a holding company which owns various subsidiary corporations
which operate as motor common carriers and desires to encourage EMPLOYEE to use
his best efforts to further develop such business. Hereinafter, P.A.M. and its
subsidiaries (whether or not now existing) shall be referred to collectively as
"COMPANY".

      EMPLOYEE is the President and Chief Executive Officer of P.A.M. and
desires to continue to perform employment services as an employee and fiduciary
of P.A.M.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreement of
the parties set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

not inhibit the EMPLOYEE'S ability to devote his full attention to the operation
of the COMPANY.

      3. BASE COMPENSATION AND BONUS. P.A.M. shall pay EMPLOYEE as base
