              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include all normal adjustments considered
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1998, and the
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
         The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented
as permitted by Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in
the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997.
         The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be 
read in conjunction with the summary of accounting policies and notes to the
financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997.

2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Boyd Bros. Transportation, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Welborn
Transport, Inc. All significant intercompany balances, transactions and
stockholdings have been eliminated. FASB Statement No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income, became effective for the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. This Statement had no impact
on such financial statements.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

         The Company's operations are subject to certain 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 service centers.

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

OVERVIEW

         Boyd Bros. Transportation, Inc., headquartered in Clayton, Alabama, is
a flatbed truckload carrier that operates primarily throughout the eastern
two-thirds of the United States, hauling primarily steel products and building
materials. In these markets, Boyd Bros. serves high-volume, time sensitive
shippers that demand time-definite delivery.
         Historically, the Company has owned its revenue equipment and operated
through employee operators. The Company's expansion in the past, therefore, has
required significant capital expenditures which have been funded through secured
borrowings. During 1997, as a strategy to expand the Company's potential for
growth without the concomitant increase in capital expenditures typically
related to owned equipment, the Company began adding owner/operators to its
fleet. The Company then accelerated the implementation of this strategy in
December 1997 with the acquisition of Welborn Transport, which specializes in
short-haul routes using a largely owner/operator fleet.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The quarter ended March 31, 1998 represented the first full quarter of
operations for the consolidated Company. Boyd Bros. acquired Welborn Transport
in December 1997. Because the acquisition was treated as a purchase, only
Welborn's December 1997 revenues and expenses were included in the 1997 audited
financial statements.
         Operating revenues increased $10,691,446 or 62.2% for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997. Welborn
Transport accounted for 75% of the increase in operating revenues. The fleet
size for Boyd Bros. Transportation, Inc. (parent only) increased 10% compared to
the same period in 1997. Additionally, revenue per truck increased due to better
utilization and reduced deadhead.
         Total operating expenses increased $10,299,421 or 62.6% during the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March
31, 1997, a rate that corresponds to the increase in revenue for the period. The
operating ratio for the first quarter of 1998 was 95.9% compared to 95.6% for
the same period in 1997.
         Salaries, wages and benefits increased $1,363,068 or 18.4% compared to
the first quarter of 1997 from $7,528,459 to $8,911,527. The increase was at a
slower rate than revenue growth due to Welborn Transport's fleet being
predominantly owner-operated. Fuel costs declined $67,875 or 2.5% compared to
the first quarter of 1997 from $2,732,408 to $2,664,533. Decreasing fuel costs
per gallon and the increase in owner-operator units contributed to the decline
in fuel costs for the first quarter of 1998. Operating supplies increased
$750,675 or 34.3% compared to the first quarter of 1997 from $2,188,312 to
$2,938,987. As a percentage of operating revenues, operating supplies declined
from 12.7% to 10.5% due to the increase of the owner-operator fleet. Taxes and
licenses increased $85,259 or 18.3% compared to the first quarter of 1997 from
$466,570 to $551,829. As a percentage of operating revenues, taxes and licenses
declined from 2.7% to 2.0% due to the impact of the increasing owner-operator
fleet. Insurance and claims increased $488,184 or 56.5% compared to the first
quarter of 1997 from $863,706 to $1,351,890. As a percentage of operating
revenues, insurance and claims declined from 5.0% to 4.8%. Communication and
utilities increased $123,015 or 40.1% compared to the first quarter of 1997 from
$306,787 to $429,802. As a percentage of operating revenues, communication and
utilities declined from 1.8% to 1.5% due to the increase in the owner-operator
program. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $285,785 or 13.2%
compared to the first quarter of 1997 from $2,172,095 to $2,457,880. As a
percentage of operating revenues, depreciation and amortization declined from
12.6% to 8.8% due to the increase in the owner-operator program and the increase
in the sales-leaseback transactions. Gain and disposition of property and
equipment increased $310,532 due to the increase in sales-type leases (related
to the sale of equipment to owner/operators). Cost of independent contractors
was $7,469,886 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $0 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997, since the Company had no owner operators
until June 1997. Cost of independent contractors comprises the net payments
made to the owner-operators after certain operating expenses are deducted.
Interest expense increased $71,518 or 22.7% compared to the first quarter of
1997 from $314,925 to $386,443. As a percentage of operating revenues, interest
expense declined from 1.8% to 1.4% due to the increase in the owner-operator
fleet and to reduced debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures
and operating expenses, including labor costs, fuel costs and operating
supplies. Historically, the Company's primary sources of cash have been from
operations, bank borrowings and sales of common stock of the Company.
         Accounts receivable at March 31, 1998 increased 64% or $4,269,268
compared to the amount at March 31, 1997. This represents 15.8% of total assets
at March 31, 1998 versus 12.2% of total assets at March 31, 1997. The days of
revenue in accounts receivable for the period ended March 31, 1998 were 35.2
compared to 34.8 for the same period in 1997. The increase in accounts
receivable was due to the increase in sales volume and does not represent a
change in uncollectible accounts. The Company has not recognized any significant
bad debt expense in any of the periods represented relating to trade
receivables. The Company reserves for bad debts that are related to the
sales-type leases. Bad debt expense on such leases for the quarter ended March
31, 1998 was $324,600 compared to $0 for the same period in 1997.
         Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,160,341 during
the first three months of 1998, compared to $818,687 during the same period for
1997. The Company had a working capital surplus of $3,041,188 at March 31, 1998.
         The Company's bank debt bears interest ranging from LIBOR plus 1.00 %
to LIBOR plus 2.00 % and 7.16% to 7.35 % per annum, all payable in monthly
installments with maturities through October 2003. The bank debt is
collateralized by revenue equipment. The Company also has two lines of credit
with limits of $1,750,000 and $1,500,000 bearing interest at the banks 30-day
LIBOR rate plus 2.25% and prime less .125%, respectively. The amounts borrowed
under these lines of credit as of March 31, 1998 were $1,021,149 and $458,608,
respectively.
         Management anticipates increasing the Company's fleet in 1998 by an
aggregate of 75 tractors and 150 trailers net of replacements, at an anticipated
cost of approximately $12,000,000. Management expects to continue financing such
equipment purchases through equipment financing arrangements with various
lenders.
         As of March 31, 1998 the Company believes that the availability of
credit under both lines of credit and internally generated cash will be adequate
to finance its operations and anticipated capital expenditures through fiscal
1998.
