Item  2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations:  Six Months Ended March 31, 1995 vs. Six Months
Ended March 31, 1994

  Operating revenues for the first six months of 1995 increased by
$13,256,000 (12.7%).  The number of loads carried increased by 7.2% while
total revenue miles increased by 12.1% in 1995.  The Company's other
service revenues included in operating revenues also increased during the
first six months of 1995.

  Operating expenses increased by $10,072,000 (11.5%) due mainly to costs
associated with the increase in loads carried and higher revenue miles. 
Operating expenses decreased to 83.0% of revenues in 1995 compared with
83.9% in 1994.

  Depreciation expense increased by $496,000 (11.8%) principally due to the
increase in capital expenditures associated with the Company's tractor
replacement program which is now substantially complete.

  Selling and administrative expenses increased by $590,000 (6.7%)
reflecting the increased level of business.  These expenses were 8.0% of
revenues in 1995 compared with 8.4% in 1994.

  Interest expense increased by $588,000 (58.7%) due to higher levels of
borrowing associated with the Company's increased level of capital spending
and higher interest rates on short-term variable rate debt.

  The effective income tax rates for the first six months of fiscal years
1995 and 1994 were 41.5% and 42.0%, respectively.

  Net earnings increased by 39.7% to $2,616,000 or $.29 per share from
$1,872,000 or $.21 per share in 1994.  The improvement in earnings resulted
from the higher revenue levels offset in part by higher depreciation and
interest expense.

Results of Operations:  Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 vs. Three Months
Ended March 31, 1994

  Operating revenues for the second quarter increased by $6,071,000 (11.1%)
over the same quarter of 1994.  The number of loads carried increased by
4.6% and the revenue per load increased slightly.  Other services revenues
included in operating revenues also increased during the second quarter.

  On a combined basis, operating expenses and depreciation increased by
$4,898,000 (10.3%) and were 86.4% of revenues in 1995 compared with 87.1%
in 1994.  The percentage decrease when compared with revenues reflects the
higher revenue levels and the Company's continued cost containment efforts
offset in part by higher levels of depreciation.

  Operating expenses increased by $4,469,000 (9.8%) reflecting the increase
in revenues.  Operating expenses decreased to 82.2% of revenues in 1995
compared with 83.2% in 1994.

  Depreciation expense increased by $429,000 (20.4%) due to the increase
in capital expenditures associated with the Company's tractor replacement
program.

  Selling and administrative expenses increased by $268,000 (6.0%)
reflecting the higher level of revenues.  As a percentage of revenues,
selling and administrative expenses were 7.8% of revenues in 1995 compared
with 8.2% in 1994.



FORM 10-Q                                                     Page 6 of 7

  Interest expense increased by $356,000 (67.8%) due mainly to increased
borrowing related to the higher level of capital spending in 1995 versus
1994 and higher interest rates on short-term variable rate debt.

  The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1994 were 41.5% and 42.0%, respectively.

  Net earnings increased by 24.3% to $1,602,000 or $.18 per share from
$1,289,000 or $.14 per share.  The increase in earnings resulted from an
improved operating margin on the higher revenue base. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  During the first six months of fiscal 1995, the Company financed its
capital additions through a combination of increased borrowings under its
revolving credit agreement, cash flows from operations, proceeds from
equipment sales and available cash.  Additionally, on March 15, 1995, the
Company repaid its note payable to Rollins Truck Leasing Corp. in the
amount of $6,000,000.  At March 31, 1995, a total of $8,800,000 was
available to the Company under its $30,000,000 revolving credit facility.

  Otherwise, there have been no material changes in the Company's financial
condition and its liquidity and capital resources since September 30, 1994. 
For further details, see page 7 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
Shareholders.
