                     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 half of 1996,
the Company repurchased a total of 122,300 shares for $928,590. No shares were
repurchased during the first six months of 1997.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating revenues increased 18.06% for the three-month period ended June 30,
1997, compared with 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 six months of 1997 with 592 tractors compared with
522 tractors as of June 30, 1996. Additionally, revenue per truck increased due
to better utilization and reduced deadhead.

Total operating expenses increased 15.26% during the three-month period ended
June 30, 1997 compared with the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, a slower
rate of increase than revenue. Operating supplies expense decreased 3.46% or
$80,039 during the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 compared with the
three months ended June 30, 1996, attributable to a reduction in maintenance
costs. For the three-month period ended June 30, 1997, salaries, wages, and
benefits were 19.04% higher than in the corresponding period last year due to an
increase in the number of drivers and higher job injury costs. Additionally,
bonus expense was up due to significant improvements in profitability. Fuel
expense increased 10.54% for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 versus
1996. Decreasing diesel prices caused fuel costs to increase slower than revenue
increases. Taxes and license expense increased 20.15% due to the timing of
permit and tag purchases for the three-month period ended June 30, 1997 versus
1996. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 15.28% due to the addition
of new trucks. Insurance and claims were up only 2.62% for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1997 versus 1996. Lower safety costs caused a slower
increase in insurance and claims expense compared with revenue increases. The
operating ratio for the second quarter of 1997 was 92.3% compared with 94.6% for
the second quarter of 1996. For the three-month period ended June 30, 1997
versus 1996, interest expense was down 7.3% due primarily to decreased debt.
Gain on sale of equipment decreased from a gain of $470,927 during the second
quarter of 1996 to a gain of $92,981 in 1997 as a fewer number of trucks were
sold during the second quarter of 1997 than in the second quarter of 1996.
Additionally, the trade packages were not as profitable as previous quarters.

Operating expenses increased 12.41% during the six-month period ended June 30,
1997 compared with the same period in 1996. Salaries and wages increased 15.23%
due to increase driver wages and workers' compensation costs. Fuel expense
increased 8.78% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 versus 1996. Fuel
costs increased at a slower rate than revenue due to decreasing diesel prices.
For the first six months ended June 30, 1997 versus 1996, operating supplies
increased only 3.18%, 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 expense
decreased 4.07% due to credits received from states. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased 13.13% due to the addition of new trucks.
Insurance and claims were down 9.77% compared with the same period in 1996.
Improved safety and lower accident claims contributed to the improvement. Gain
on sale of equipment decreased from $808,317 during the first six months of 1996
to $42,981 in 1997 as the Company traded fewer tractors than the previous year.
The operating ratio for the first six months of 1997 was 93.9% compared with
97.5% for the same period of 1996. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1997
versus 1996, interest expense was up 2.96% due primarily to higher interest
rates.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $3,363,794 during the first
six months of 1997, compared with $2,098,546 during the first six months of
1996. The Company had a working capital surplus of $2,950,018 at June 30, 1997.

Management anticipates increasing the Company's fleet in 1997 by an aggregate of
48 tractors net of replacements, at an anticipated cost of approximately $3.6
million. During the first six months of 1997, the Company purchased
approximately $6,261,500 of replacement tractors and trailers, of which
$7,600,000 was financed with various lenders. As of June 30, 1997, the Company
has added 18 net tractors. Management expects to continue financing 




                                       8

<PAGE>   9

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 June 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.
