ITEM 10.  DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

         On April 20, 1995, the Company filed with the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Oklahoma a voluntary petition under Chapter
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  Management of the Company explored
many alternatives to improve the financial condition of the Company, but
finally concluded that the only realistic alternative to protect the going
concern value of the Company was to seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code.
Following discussions with the Board of Directors concerning the Company's
financial situation and the potential bankruptcy proceedings, four of the
Company's directors, Joe E. Davis, Anthony J. Klein, D. Linn Wiley and Roger B.
Collins, elected to resign from the Board.  The Company's sole remaining
director is Don H. Freymiller.  In connection with such resignations, the
Bylaws of the Company were amended to provide that the authorized number of
directors of the Company shall be one director until such time as the Bylaws
are further amended by the Board to increase this number.

         The commencement of bankruptcy proceedings has not otherwise presently
affected the composition of the Company's senior management.  Although changes
may occur in the composition of the Company's management team in the future,
the Company cannot determine at this time the precise nature of any such
changes.  Each of the Company's executive officers is named below.

(1)      Based on the market value of the Company's Common Stock as of December
         31, 1994, the unexercised options had no value because the market
         price of the Common Stock was below the exercise price of the options.
(2)      These options were cancelled in February 1995 pursuant to the terms of
         a separation agreement entered into between the Company and Mr.
         Stanners in connection with the resignation of Mr. Stanners from his
         positions with the Company.  For more information, see "Executive
         Compensation - Separation Agreement."

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

         In connection with the resignation of Jerry K. Stanners as President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Stanners entered into a
separation agreement with the Company effective as of February 1, 1995 (the
"Separation Agreement").  Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, the Company
paid to Mr. Stanners $258,000 as required under Mr. Stanner's employment
agreement with the Company.  As a result of such payment, 64,500 shares of the
Company's Common Stock previously issued to Mr. Stanners and held in trust as
security for such payment were returned to the Company.  The Company also
agreed to reimburse Mr. Stanners for relocation expenses and to extend at its
expense certain insurance benefits.  Outstanding options to purchase 242,500
shares of Common Stock previously granted to Mr. Stanners were cancelled.  In
addition, the Company retained Mr. Stanners to render consulting services to
the Company for a period of six months following the date of the Separation
Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Stanners receives a fee of $6,000 per month.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

E. Davis, Anthony J. Klein and D. Linn Wiley, each a former director of the
Company, received flat fees during 1994 of $12,000, $12,000 and $15,000,
respectively, for their services as directors.  Roger B. Collins, also a former

with such services.  See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

and determines compensation policies and levels.  All decisions made by the
Committee during 1994 were reviewed by the full Board of Directors.

         EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

         The Company believes that compensation should reflect the value
created for shareholders, while supporting the business strategies and
long-range plans of the Company.  Accordingly, the Company's executive
compensation program is based on guiding principles designed to align
compensation with the Company's business strategy and performance.  These
principles are:

         (i)     to attract and retain key executives whose performance is
                 critical to the long-term success of the Company and who are
                 of the highest caliber;

         (ii)    to provide levels of compensation competitive with those
                 offered by the Company's competitors;

         (iii)   to motivate executives to enhance long-term shareholder value
                 by building appropriate ownership in the Company; and

         (iv)    to integrate the Company's compensation programs with its
                 annual and long-term strategic planning and measurement
                 processes.

         EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMPONENTS

         The Company's executive compensation is based on three principal
components, each of which is intended to serve the Company's overall
compensation philosophy.

         Base Salary.  Base Salary is intended to be set at a level competitive
with the amounts paid to executive officers of similar business structure, size
and marketplace orientation.  Salaries for executive officers are reviewed by
the Committee on an annual basis.

         Annual Bonuses.  The Company awards bonuses to its key executives
based on three principal factors:  (i) the Company's over-all performance; (ii)
business unit performance; and (iii) individual performance.  By emphasizing
the Company's over-all performance as the most important aspect in determining
the amount of bonuses, the Company creates an important and explicit link
between executive compensation and the creation of shareholder value.

         In January 1995, J. Harold Fambro and Kirk A. Williams joined the
Company as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Executive
Vice President - Marketing and Sales, respectively.  In connection with the
commencement of their employment, Messrs. Fambro and Williams entered into
five-year employment agreements with the Company.  Under the terms of the
employment agreements, Messrs. Fambro and Williams will be eligible to receive
bonus payments equal to 1% of the Company's earnings before taxes and
extraordinary items and before deduction for bonus payments to officers of the
Company for each fiscal year during the term of the agreements.  If the
preceding formula does not result in bonus payments for 1995 in excess of
$25,000, the employment agreements provide that Messrs. Fambro and Williams
will each receive additional bonus payments such that their respective bonuses
for 1995 will equal $25,000 each.  Messrs. Fambro and Williams must be in the





                                       6

employ of the Company at the end of each year in order to qualify for the bonus
payments for such year as described above.

         Stock Options.  Executive officers are eligible to receive periodic
grants of incentive stock options under the Company's 1987 Incentive Stock
Option Plan and nonqualified stock options under the Company 1987 Non-Statutory
Stock Option Plan (collectively, the "Plans").  The Plans are an integral part
of the Company's compensation system.  The Plans are designed to encourage and
create ownership and retention of the Company's stock by key employees.
Through the Plans, long-range interests of key employees are aligned with
shareholders' interests as these employees build meaningful stakes in the
Company.  Awards are typically granted at the fair market value of the
underlying Common Stock at the date of grant.  Stock options generally vest in
installments over multiple years.

         No stock options were granted to executive officers during 1994.  In
January 1995 in connection with the commencement of their employment, the
Company granted to J. Harold Fambro and Kirk A. Williams, options to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock each at an exercise price of $2.50 per share,
the market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant.  The ability of
Messrs. Fambro and Williams to exercise these options is subject to the
Company's achievement of specified earnings before taxes and extraordinary
items during the years 1995 through 1999.

         CEO COMPENSATION

         Jerry K. Stanners, the Company's former President and Chief Executive
Officer, resigned from his positions with the Company in February 1995.  Prior
to his resignation, Mr. Stanners' compensation was based on the terms of his
employment agreement with the Company entered into effective October 14, 1991.
The agreement required Mr. Stanners to devote substantially his full business
time and attention and best efforts to the affairs of the Company during the
term of the agreement.  The agreement provided for the payment of a base salary
at the initial rate of $225,000 per year, subject to upward adjustment by the
Board of Directors; the payment of an annual bonus in an amount equal to
one-half of the base salary during the first full year of his employment and
thereafter only if certain objectives established by the Board of Directors on
an annual basis were met; and various other benefits.  The agreement also
provided for the payment of certain benefits upon termination of Mr. Stanners'
employment.  For additional information concerning the terms of Mr. Stanners'
separation from the Company, see "Executive Compensation - Separation
Agreement."

         Don H. Freymiller was appointed as President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company following the resignation of Mr. Stanners from such
positions.  As Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. Freymiller performed
many of the functions associated with the chief executive officer, and Mr.
Stanners performed significant operational and marketing duties which are now
being performed by Messrs. Fambro and Williams.  Mr. Freymiller's base salary
for 1994 was reviewed by the Committee and was determined by the members of the
Board, exclusive of Mr. Freymiller.  Mr.  Freymiller's base salary during 1994
was $250,000, an amount believed by the Board of Directors to be comparable to
the amounts paid to senior executives with comparable qualifications,
experience and responsibilities at other companies of similar structure, size
and marketplace orientation. Mr. Freymiller did not receive a bonus during
1994.  It is not anticipated that Mr. Freymiller's base salary will be
substantially increased as a result of his resumption of the full
responsibilities of President and Chief Executive Officer.

         The executive compensation practices of the Company are periodically
re-evaluated to ensure their support of the strategic goals of the Company and
their contribution to the creation of shareholder value.

         The foregoing report has been furnished by Don H. Freymiller,
currently the sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

         All decisions of the Compensation Committee during 1994 were reviewed
by the full Board of Directors.  During 1994, each of Messrs. Freymiller,
Stanners, Wiley, Davis and Klein served as directors of the Company and
reviewed decisions of the Compensation Committee.

         Mr. Don H. Freymiller owns the building occupied by the Company's
corporate headquarters and in August 1994 entered into a seven-year lease
agreement with the Company pursuant to which the Company leases office space at
the rate of $15,000 per month.  The Company made lease payments to Mr.
Freymiller totalling $75,000 during 1994.

         Anthony J. Klein, a former director of the Company and member of the
Compensation Committee during 1994,  is a partner in the law firm of Klein,
Wegis, DeNatale, Goldner & Muir which rendered legal services to the Company
during 1994 and is expected to provide legal services to the Company in
connection with various matters in the future.

         See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" for information

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The Company leases revenue equipment owned by Mr. David Freymiller
consisting principally of four  tractors, and in connection therewith made
lease payments to Mr. David Freymiller during the year ended December 31, 1994
in the amount of $46,000.

         The Company has owner operator agreements relating to two tractors
with a general partnership in which Mr.  Dennis Freymiller has a 50% interest
and made payments to the general partnership pursuant to such agreement





                                       9
<PAGE>   10
in the amount of $150,000 during the year ended December 31, 1994.

         In September 1994, the Company entered into a consulting agreement
with RBC Ventures, Inc. ("RBCV") pursuant to which RBCV agreed to assist the
Company in attempting to obtain additional working capital and to provide
business counseling and other consulting services in connection with the
Company's operations.  In January 1995, the Company closed the sale and
leaseback of a majority of its trailer fleet to Transport International Pool,
Inc.  The Company was assisted in the negotiation of this transaction by RBCV,
and in connection with such services the Company paid to RBCV a fee of $100,000
in January 1995 as provided for in the consulting agreement.  In addition, the
consulting agreement provides for the payment by the Company of consulting fees
to RBCV in the amount of $25,000 per month commencing in February 1995.  The
consulting agreement will expire on September 23, 1997 and may be terminated by
the Company upon the occurrence of specified events.  Roger B. Collins, a
former director of the Company, is the President and indirect beneficial owner
of 100% of the outstanding shares of RBCV.

         In connection with the execution of the consulting agreement with RBCV
in September 1994, the Company granted to Mr. Collins nonqualified options to
purchase 195,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of
$7.00 per share.  The option may not be exercised until both of the following
conditions precedent are satisfied: (i) the Company must complete a financing
transaction meeting certain criteria; and (ii) the average of the highest bid
price of the Common Stock as reported on the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System for each of any five consecutive
trading days must exceed $10.00 per share.  The former condition was satisfied
by the sale and leaseback described above.  As of the date hereof, the latter
condition had not been satisfied and, as a result, the options were not
exercisable as of such date.  If not previously exercised, the options will
expire in September 2004.  The Company has also granted certain registration
rights with respect to shares purchased upon exercise of the options.
Nonqualified options to purchase an additional 34,500 shares of the Company's
Common Stock were granted on identical terms to another officer of RBCV.

         See "Executive Compensation - Compensation Committee Interlocks and
Insider Participation" for information concerning additional transactions
between the Company and certain directors.
