Item  2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Results of Operations:  Nine Months Ended June 30, 1994 vs. Nine Months Ended
June 30, 1993

     Revenues increased by $28,652,000 (9.5%) as full-service lease, commercial
rental and dedicated carriage services revenues all improved over the first nine
months of 1993.

     Operating expenses increased by $9,496,000 (7.5%) reflecting the increase
in revenues.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 41.1%
in 1994 from 41.8% in 1993.  Lower maintenance costs on new equipment and
continued expense control efforts accounted for the lower operating cost ratio.

     Net depreciation expense increased by $6,534,000 (7.9%) due to the
increased gross investment in equipment on operating leases and transportation
service facilities offset in part by higher gains on equipment sales.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased by $1,788,000 (6.1%) mainly
due to higher payroll costs and continued emphasis on sales and marketing
programs.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased to 9.4% of revenues in
1994 from 9.7% of revenues in 1993.

     Interest expense increased by $1,405,000 (5.5%) due to the increase in
average borrowings offset in part by the refinancing of certain higher interest
rate debt.

     The effective income tax rates for first nine months of 1994 and 1993 were
40.9% and 40.0%, respectively.

     Net earnings increased by $5,230,000 (22.9%) to $28,079,000 or $.91 per
share from $22,849,000 or $.74 per share in fiscal 1993.  The improvement in net
earnings was due mainly to increased revenues and the lower operating cost ratio
offset in part by higher depreciation, selling and administrative and interest
expenses.

Results of Operations:  Quarter Ended June 30, 1994 vs. Quarter ended June 30,
1993

     Revenues increased by $11,234,000 (10.7%) due in large part to higher
utilization of the expanded commercial rental fleet.  Revenues from full-service
lease and dedicated carriage services also improved during the third quarter.

     Operating expenses increased by $4,474,000 (10.7%) reflecting the increase
in revenues.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues were 39.9% in 1994
and 1993.  Lower maintenance costs on new equipment and continued expense
control efforts maintained the operating cost ratio.

     Net depreciation expense increased by $2,552,000 (8.8%).  Total
depreciation was higher due to the increased gross investment in equipment on
operating leases, offset in part by higher gains on equipment sales. 

     Selling and administrative expenses increased by $916,000 (9.3%) mainly due
to higher payroll costs and continued emphasis on sales and marketing programs. 
Selling and administrative expenses were 9.3% of revenues in 1994 and 9.4% of
revenues in 1993.

     Interest expense increased $550,000 (5.9%) due to the increase in average
borrowings offset in part by the refinancing of certain higher interest rate
debt.

     The effective income tax rates for the third quarters of 1994 and 1993 were
40.3% and 40.0%, respectively.

     Net earnings increased by $1,593,000 (18.0%) to $10,450,000 or $.34 per
share from $8,857,000 or $.29 per share in fiscal 1993.  The improvement in net
earnings was due mainly to increased revenues, offset in part by the increase
in depreciation and selling and administrative expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's property and equipment purchases of $231,753,000 during the
first nine months of fiscal 1994 were financed with its cash flow from
operations, the proceeds of equipment sales and borrowings under its revolving
credit facility.

     On March 21, 1994, the Company sold $60,000,000 of 7% collateral Trust
Debentures, Series M, due March 15, 2001.  The proceeds from this sale were used
to repay existing indebtedness under its $100,000,000 revolving credit 
facility.  In addition, the Company has a current shelf registration state-
ment under which it can sell an additional $140,000,000 of Collateral Trust 
Debentures.  Based on its access to the public debt market and relationships 
with its current lending institutions and others who have expressed an interest 
in providing financing, the Company expects to continue to be able to obtain 
financing for its capital asset purchases at market rates and under satis-
factory terms and conditions.

     Otherwise, there have been no material changes in the Company's financial
condition and its liquidity and capital resources since September 30, 1993.  For
further details, see page 4 of the Company's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
