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

Results of Operations:  Six Months Ended March 31, 1994 vs. Six Months Ended
March 31, 1993
     Revenues increased by $17,418,000 (8.8%) as full-service lease, commercial
rental and dedicated contract carriage revenues all improved over the first six
months of last year.

     Operating expenses increased by $5,022,000 (6.0%) reflecting the increase
in revenues.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 41.7%
in 1994 from 42.8% in 1993 as operating expenses increased at a lower rate than
revenues.

     Net depreciation expense increased by $3,982,000 (7.4%) due to the
increased investment in equipment on operating leases and transportation service
facilities offset in part by higher gains on sale of equipment.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased by $872,000 (4.5%) due mainly
to the higher compensation costs of an expanded sales force and continued
emphasis on sales and marketing programs.  Selling and administrative expenses
were 9.5% of revenues in 1994 and 9.9% of revenues in 1993.

     Interest expense increased by $855,000 (5.2%) due to the increase in
borrowings related to the purchase of additional equipment, offset in part by
the refinancing of certain higher interest rate debt.

     The estimated effective income tax rates for fiscal years 1994 and 1993
were 41.25% and 40.0%, respectively.

     Net earnings increased by $3,637,000 (26.0%) to $17,629,000 or $.57 per
share from $13,992,000 or $.45 per share in fiscal 1993.  The increase in net
earnings was due mainly to the increased revenues and the lower operating cost
ratio offset in part by higher depreciation expense and taxes on income.

Results of Operations:  Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 vs. Three Months Ended
March 31, 1993
     Revenues increased by $10,069,000 (10.4%) as full-service lease, commercial
rental and dedicated contract carriage revenues all improved over the same
quarter last year.

     Operating expenses increased by $3,495,000 (8.3%) reflecting the increase
in revenues.  Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 42.4%
in 1994 from 43.2% in 1993 as operating expenses increased at a lower rate than
revenues.

     Net depreciation expense increased by $1,923,000 (7.3%).  Total
depreciation was higher due to the increased gross investment in equipment on
operating leases and transportation service facilities, however, the increase
was offset in part by higher gains on sale of equipment. 

     Selling and administrative expenses increased by $1,012,000 (10.3%) due
mainly to the higher compensation costs of an expanded sales force and continued
emphasis on sales and marketing programs.  Selling and administrative expenses
were 10.1% of revenues in both 1994 and 1993.

     Interest expense increased by $651,000 (8.0%) due to the increase in
borrowings related to the purchase of additional equipment, offset in part by
the refinancing of higher interest rate debt.

     Net earnings increased by $1,661,000 (25.6%) to $8,155,000 or $.26 per
share from $6,494,000 or $.21 per share in fiscal 1993.  The increase in net
earnings was due mainly to the increased revenues and lower operating cost ratio
offset in part by higher depreciation, selling and administrative expense and
taxes on income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's property and equipment purchases of $175,563,000 during the
first six 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 statement 
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 
satisfactory 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.
