                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in compliance
with Form 10-Q instructions and thus do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed statements
reflect all adjustments, including those of a normal recurring nature, necessary
to present fairly the results of the reported interim periods. The condensed
statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of accounting policies
and notes to financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996. The results of operations for interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for an entire
year.

2.  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations concerning the environment. Certain of the Company's facilities are
located in historically industrial areas and, therefore, there is the
possibility of environmental liability as a result of operations by prior owners
as well as the Company's use of fuels and underground storage tanks at its
regional terminals.


3.  CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

In January 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 150,000 shares of common stock. During the first quarter of 1996 the
company repurchased 82,300 shares for $617,250. Through the first nine months of
1996 the company repurchased a total of 122,300 shares for $928,590. No shares
were repurchased during the first nine months of 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating revenues increased 11.66% For the three-month period ended September
30, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996 due to increased demand for the
Company's services and higher rates. The Company continued to focus on
increasing its fleet size to meet the anticipated demands of new and existing
customers, ending the first nine months of 1997 with 594 tractors compared with
574 tractors as of September 30, 1996. Additionally, revenue per truck increased
due to better utilization and reduced deadhead.

Total operating expenses increased 9.68% during the three-month period ended
September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996, a
slower rate of increase than revenue. Operating supplies expense increased
19.49% during the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase was attributed to an
increase in maintenance costs. For the three-month period ended September 30,
1997, salaries, wages, and benefits were 8.43% higher than in the corresponding
period last year due to an increase in the number of drivers. Fuel expense
increased only 2.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 versus
1996. Decreasing diesel prices caused fuel costs to increase slower than revenue
for the quarter. Taxes and license expense decreased 1.97% for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1997 versus 1996. Depreciation and amortization
expense increased 9.38% due to the addition of new trucks. Insurance and claims
were up 31.16% for the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 versus 1996
due to inferior safety performance and resulting increases in reserves. The
operating ratio for the 3rd quarter of 1997 was 91.3% compared with 92.9% for
the third quarter of 1996. For the three-month period ended September 30, 1997
versus 1996, interest expense was down 7.45% due primarily to decreased debt.
Gain (loss) on sale of equipment increased from a loss of $46,468 during the
third quarter of 1996 to a gain of $174,936 in 1997. More trailers were sold
during the third quarter of 1997 than in the third quarter of 1996. Purchased
transportation expenses were  $300,640 during the third quarter of 1997 compared
to no such expenses in 1996 since the owner-operator program was not in
existence in 1996. Other expense for the third quarter of 1997 was down $69,008,
or 49.1%. Environmental and professional fees were lower.

Operating revenues increased 15.64% during the nine month period ended September
30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. Operating expenses increased
12.25% during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 compared with the
same period in 1996. Salaries and wages increased 12.88% due to increased driver
wages. Fuel expense increased 11.31% for the nine-month period ended September
30, 1997 versus 1996. Fuel costs increased at a lower rate than revenue due to
decreasing diesel prices. For the first nine months ended September 30, 1997
versus 1996, operating supplies increased 8.8%, a much slower rate than revenue
growth. Maintenance expenses were down compared with last year, causing the rate
of increase in operating supplies to be lower than revenue growth. Tax and
license expenses decreased 3.33% due to credits received from states.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 11.84% due to the addition of
new trucks. Insurance and claims were up only 1.34% compared with the same
period in 1996. Improved safety and lower accident claims over the full
nine-month period contributed to the improvement. Gain on sale of equipment
decreased from $761,849 during the first nine months of 1996 to $218,144 in 1997
as the Company traded fewer tractors than the previous year. The operating ratio
for the first nine months of 1997 was 93.02% compared with 95.83% for the same
period of 1996. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 versus 1996,
interest expense was slightly lower, by 1.1%, due primarily to lower debt
levels. Other expenses decreased 29.38% for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 compared to 1996. Lower uncollectible reserves contributed to the decrease.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $7,246,027 during the first
nine months of 1997, compared to $6,511,736 during the first nine months of
1996. The Company had a working capital surplus of $2,902,685 at September 30,
1997.

During the first nine months of 1997, the Company purchased approximately
$12,400,000 of replacement tractors and trailers, along with 19 additional
tractors, of which $400,000 was financed with various lenders. Management
expects to continue financing such equipment purchases through equipment
financing arrangements with various lenders. Historically, the Company has
relied on cash generated from operations to fund its working capital
requirements. However, the Company has a line of credit with Amsouth Bank
permitting short-term borrowings of up to $1.5 million at prime less .125%. At
September 30, 1997 the Company had no outstanding borrowings on its line of
credit. Management believes that the line of credit, borrowing facilities and
cash flow from operations are sufficient to meet its financing needs.
