                      NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
  Note 1.    Financial Information:
  
The accompanying condensed financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes the following disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. 
These condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in
conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto, 
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
Note 2.    Income Taxes:
  
Income taxes for the interim periods are based upon the Company's
estimated effective annual tax rates.  The Company's effective tax rate
(income tax expense divided by income before income taxes) decreased to
zero for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to approximately 20%
for the three months ended March 31, 1995, as a result of the Company not
recording any benefit on its pre-tax loss.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
  
Results of Operations
  
Revenues increased by 5.4% to $38.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 compared to $36.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. This revenue growth resulted primarily from an increase
in revenue equipment as the average number of tractors increased to 1379
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 1195 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995. Revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996, however, were adversely affected by a 2.5% decrease in the average
revenue per loaded mile. Empty miles also increased resulting in net average
revenue per total mile decreasing 2.6% for the three months ended March 31,
1996 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995. In addition, average
miles per tractor decreased 6.5% between the two periods. Management believes
the decrease in average revenue per total mile and average miles per tractor
was a result of the extreme winter weather conditions in 1996 as well as slower
than anticipated economic conditions in the first quarter of 1996, and an over-
capacity of tractors, that affected the industry generally.  As management does
not expect economic conditions and/or the overcapacity of tractors in the
industry to significantly change during the remainder of 1996, management is not
replacing 48 tractors which are at their normal retirement age of three years.
In addition, 172 older trailers have been sold to attain a more efficient
trailer to tractor ratio. Operating costs and expenses were 99.5% of revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 95.9% of revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 1995.  Operating costs and expenses, as a
percent of revenue, were adversely effected by the 2.6% reduction in average
revenue per total mile and the 6.5% decrease in utilization for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, as well as the factors discussed below.
  
Salaries, wages and benefits increased to 28.8% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 27.3% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, due primarily from driver pay changes in October, 1995
and an increase in the percent of total miles driven by Company drivers
compared to independent contractors during the two periods.
 
Purchased transportation decreased to 23.9% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 25.0% for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, as result of a smaller percent of total miles driven
by independent contractors.  Independent contractors are under contract
with the Company and are responsible for their own salaries, wages and
benefits, fuel, maintenance and depreciation.  Independent contractor costs
are classified as purchased transportation expenses.

Fuel and fuel taxes increased to 14.6% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to 12.5% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, as a result of a higher percentage of miles
driven with Company tractors, more adverse winter weather conditions in
1996 and an increase in the cost of fuel.  This was offset slightly by an
increase in the fuel efficiency of Company tractors as the Company has
modernized its fleet of tractors.  Management expects the cost of fuel to
remain high through the second quarter.  In order to reduce the Company's
vulnerability to rapid increases in the price of fuel, the Company has
historically entered into purchase contracts with fuel suppliers from time to
time for a portion of its estimated fuel requirements at guaranteed prices.
(See liquidity and capital resources). 

The Company has also implemented fuel surcharges to many of its customers.
Management anticipates that the purchase contracts and fuel surcharge will
help offset some of the increase in the cost of fuel. Revenue equipment lease
expense decreased to 5.6% of revenues for the three months ended March 31,
1996, compared to 9.7% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
primarily as a result of the Company reducing the percentage of its tractor
fleet financed through operating leases to 29.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to 62.3% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.  
  
Maintenance decreased to 5.0% of revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to 5.6% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1995, as a result of reduced maintenance costs associated
with a newer tractor fleet.  The average age of Company owned tractors
decreased to 1.2 years during the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared
to 1.9 years for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
  
Insurance and claims increased to 7.1% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, from 4.6% of revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 as a result of an increase in the amount of the losses per
accident during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and the number of
small losses compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995. 
Also, the Company had favorable claims experience during the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  On October 1, 1995, management
increased the training requirements of new drivers and has changed the
driver pay to attract more experienced drivers which management
believes are less accident prone.  Management continues to review
accidents to determine what actions may be taken to reduce future claims
costs.
  
General supplies and expenses decreased to 3.4% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 4.0% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 as a result of decreased costs associated
with driver recruiting.  In addition, a new computer upgrade was leased
through an operating lease while the previous computer lease was
capitalized and therefore expensed through depreciation and interest costs.

Taxes and licenses increased to 2.4% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, compared to 2.0% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, primarily as a result of increased costs
associated with a higher trailer to tractor ratio in addition to licensing
equipment with a higher cost.
  
Communications and utilities increased to 2.4% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 1.8% of revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, primarily as a result of the Company
utilizing "Highway Master"  on board communication systems in a larger
portion of its fleet of tractors.  The Company began installation of
"Highway Master" systems in June, 1994.  The use of  the "Highway
Master" system generally enhances the Company's ability to track loads,
service customers and communicate with and monitor drivers.

Gain on disposition of assets increased to 2.6% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to a loss of $37,314 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, as a result of the Company selling 172 of
its older trailers in the first quarter of 1996.  The Company anticipates
selling  more of its older trailers during the second quarter of 1996 as a
result of the Company reducing the size of its fleet to better meet the
freight demands during 1996, and reducing the trailer to tractor ratio to
attain better efficiency of assets.
  
Depreciation and amortization increased to 8.8% of revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 3.1% of revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 1995, as a result of the  majority of the
Company's new revenue equipment being financed with capitalized leases.

Interest expense increased to 3.6% of revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared to 3.1% of revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 as a result of the majority of the Company's new
revenue equipment being financed with capitalized leases. This increase in
interest expense was offset by a 1.6% decrease in interest expense as a
result of the Company ceasing to discount its accounts receivable to a
factor following its initial public offering of its common stock in March,
1995.
  
As a consequence of the items discussed above, the Company incurred a
loss before provision for income taxes for the three months ended March
31, 1996 of $1,137,156 compared to income before provision for income
taxes of $444,241 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
 
The Company's effective tax rate (income tax expense divided by income
before income taxes) decreased to zero for the three months ended March
31, 1996, compared to 20% for the three months ended March 31, 1995,
as a result of the Company not recording any benefit on its pre-tax loss.

  
Liquidity and Capital Resources
  
The Company's sources of liquidity have been funds provided by
operations, leases on revenue equipment and revolving lines of credit.

The Company has a credit facility with the Bank of New York for issuance
of letters of credit up to $9.3 million.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company 
had used $9.3 million of this facility, principally for letters of credit in
favor of the Company's insurance carrier.  As outstanding letters of credit
issued under this credit facility are not renewed, the maximum commitment
available under this credit facility will be reduced by the amount of the
letters of credit that are not renewed.  In May, 1995 the Company obtained
an additional $8.0 million working capital line of credit.  This line of credit
provides the Company with additional working capital resources.  The
Company anticipates that use of the line will be primarily for insurance
related letters of credit as well as providing any short term cash
requirements.  As of March 31, 1996 the Company has utilized $3.0 million
of this line of credit for an insurance related letters of credit.  Both of the
credit facilities have loan covenants which obligate the Company to
maintain a required level of profitability and cash flow.  The Bank
of New York has amended these covenants for periods through and
including December 31,1996, and the Company's  other lender waived
these requirements  through the maturity of the working capital line of
credit.  The Company may be required to seek additional amendments or
waivers in the future based on actual operating results.  The Company is in
the process of negotiating an extension of its $8.0 million working capital
line of credit which expired on May 12, 1996.  Management believes that
an extension will be obtained with similar terms and conditions.
  
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $3.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Net cash provided by
investing activities (primarily selling of equipment) amounted to $1.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Net cash
used in financing activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  Payments on debt and capitalized lease obligations was
$3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

The Company expects capital expenditures to be approximately $3.0
million in 1996 primarilyfor a computer system and software replacement
and upgrade.  For the first three months of 1996, the Company acquired
$0.4 million of new equipment.  Future expansion of the fleet will be made
as future economic conditions dictate. Management believes that
commitments available under the Company's lines of credit will be
sufficient to meet the Company's capital requirements through 1996.  The
Company's business is capital intensive and will require the Company to
seek additional debt and possibly equity capital to enable the Company to
maintain a modern fleet.  Whether such capital will be available on
favorable terms, or at all, will depend on the Company's future operating
results, prevailing economic and industry conditions and other factors over
which the Company has little or no control.
 
Fuel is one of the Company's most substantial operating expenses.  In order
to reduce the Company's vulnerability to rapid increased in the price of
fuel, the Company enters into purchase contracts with fuel suppliers from
time to time for a portion of its estimated fuel requirements at guaranteed
prices.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had entered into various
agreements with fuel suppliers to purchase approximately 48% of its
estimated fuel needs through 1996 at a guaranteed price.  Although
this arrangement helps reduce the Company's vulnerability to rapid increases
in the price of fuel, the Company will not benefit from a decrease in the
price of fuel to the extent of its commitment to purchase fuel under
these contracts.
 
Seasonality
In the trucking industry, revenues generally show a seasonal pattern as
customers reduce shipments during and after the winter holiday season and
its attendant weather variations. Operating expenses also tend to be higher
during the cold weather months, primarily due to poorer fuel economy and
increased maintenance costs.
 
Inflation
  
Inflation can be expected to have an impact on the Company's operations. 
The effect of inflation has been minimal over the past three years.

        WHEREAS, the Company has previously adopted the PST Vans,
Inc. Stock Incentive Plan on December 6, 1994 (the "Plan"), and
subsequently amended such plan on March 7, 1995 ("Amendment No. 1")
(the Stock Incentive Plan as amended is hereinafter referred to as the
"Plan"); and
                    
        WHEREAS, the Board of Directors approved a further amendment
to the Plan on June 22, 1995  to provide for the grant of NSOs (as defined
in the Plan) to non-employee directors of the Company on annual basis
pursuant to a formula plan intended to qualify under Rule 16b-3
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

        WHEREAS, the Company now desires to document such amendment.

        NOW THEREFORE, upon these premises, the Plan is hereby
modified, altered and amended in the following respects only, subject to
the conditions set forth in Sections 2 and 3 below:

1.      Amendment.  (a) A new Article 17 shall be added to read in its
entirety as follows:

                       ARTICLE 17  FORMULA AWARD PLAN.

17.1   General. 
      
       The provisions of this Article 17 are applicable only to 
       Options granted to Non-Employee Directors
       pursuant to Section 17.2 below (the "Formula Plan").  All other
       Options granted to Directors and Key Employees under the Plan
       shall be governed by the provisions of Articles 5 and 6.

17.2  Grants.

      (a)  Initial Grant to Existing Directors.  NSOs to
           purchase 2,000 Common Shares shall be granted to each person
           who is serving as a Non-Employee Director of the Company on
           June 22, 1995, the effective date of the amendment to the Plan
           pursuant to which this Article 17 was adopted. 

      (b)  Annual Grants.  Subject to the limitation in Section
           17.12, NSOs to purchase 2,000 Common Shares shall be granted
           automatically each year on the date of the Annual Meeting of
           Shareholders to each individual who is elected to serve or 
           continues to serve as a Non-Employee Director of the Company 
           following such Annual Meeting.  
                    
17.3  Option Agreement.
   
      Each Formula Award granted under the Formula Plan shall be evidenced by
      a Formula Award Agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company and by
      the Non-Employee Director to whom such Formula Award is granted
      and dated as of the applicable date of grant.  All Formula Awards
      granted under the Formula Plan shall be nonstatutory options not
      intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code.

17.4  Formula Award Exercise Price. 
      The exercise price of the Common Shares subject to each Formula Award
      shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value for such Shares on the date the
      Formula Award is granted.

17.5  Exercisability.

      (a)  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 17.7 or 17.13,
       a Formula Award granted pursuant to Section 17.2(a) shall vest and
       become exercisable in equal annual installments over the remaining
       term of the Director with the first installment vesting and becoming
       exercisable on the date of the first Annual Meeting of Shareholders
       subsequent to the date of grant, and the remaining installments
       vesting and becoming exercisable on the date of each subsequent
       Annual Meeting of Shareholders thereafter.

      (b)  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 17.7 or
      17.13, a Formula Award granted pursuant to Section 17.2(b) shall
      vest and become exercisable in three equal installments in
      accordance with the following schedule:

Period of Optionee's Continuous Service as a
Director of the Company Portion of Formula
Award that Is Exercisable
From the date of the first Annual
Meeting of Shareholders subsequent to
the grant of the Formula Award to the
day prior to the second Annual Meeting
of Shareholders subsequent to the grant
of the Formula Award............................33%                   

From the date of the second Annual
Meeting of Shareholders subsequent to
the grant of the Formula Award to the
day prior to the third Annual Meeting of
Shareholders subsequent to the grant of
the Formula Award...............................67%

From the date of the third Annual
Meeting of Shareholders subsequent to
the grant of the Formula Award to the
expiration of the term of the Formula
Award..........................................100%


(c)   Notwithstanding paragraph (a)
      or (b) above, an Optionee shall not be able
      to exercise any Formula Award granted
      under this Article 17 unless six months and
      one day have elapsed since the date that the
      amendment to the Plan adopting this Article
      17 is approved by the shareholders of the
      Company.  If an Optionee ceases to serve as
      a Director for any reason, the Optionee shall
      have no rights with respect to that portion of
      a Formula Award which is not yet
      exercisable in accordance with this Section
      17.5 or Section 17.13.

17.6  Method of Payment.  
 
      A Formula Award may be exercised, in whole or in part, by giving written
      notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of Common Shares
      to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of
      the purchase price in cash or in Common Shares already owned by the
      Optionee as provided by Section 6.2. In addition, payment may also be
      made: (i) by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an
      irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Committee
      to sell Common Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds
      to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price
      and any withholding taxes as provided by Section 6.3, or (ii) by the
      delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable
      direction to pledge Common Shares to a securities broker or lender
      approved by the Committee as security for a loan and to deliver all or
      part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of
      the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes as provide by Section 6.4.
                    
17.7  Term of Formula Awards. 
     
      Each Formula Award shall expire five (5) years from its date of grant,
      but shall be subject to earlier termination as follows:

      (i)  If an Optionee's service as a Director terminates for any reason
           other than Cause, the Optionee may for a period of one (1)
           year after such termination exercise his or her Formula Awards to
           the extent, and only to the extent, that such Formula Awards or
           portion thereof were vested and exercisable as of the date the
           Optionee's service as a Director terminated, after which time the
           unexercised portion of any Formula Awards shall automatically
           terminate in full.

     (ii)  If an Optionee's service as a Director terminates for Cause,
           the unexercised portion of any Formula Awards granted to the
           Optionee hereunder shall immediately terminate in full and no
           rights or Options thereunder may be exercised.

     This Section 17.7 shall not be construed to extend the term of any Formula
     Award or to permit anyone to exercise any Formula Award after the
     expiration of its term nor shall it be construed to increase the number
     of Common Shares as to which any Formula Award is exercisable from the
     amount exercisable on the date of termination of the Optionee's service as
     a Director.

17.8  Non-Transferability. 

      No Formula Award granted hereunder shall be transferable by the Optionee
      to whom it was granted otherwise than by will or the laws of descent
      and distribution, and a Formula Award may be exercised during the
      lifetime of such Optionee only by the Optionee or hisor her guardian 
      or legal representative.

17.9  Limitation of Rights.
 
      Neither the recipient of a Formula Award under the Formula Plan nor the
      recipients's successor or successors in interest shall have any rights
      as a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Common Shares 
      subject to a Formula Award granted to such person until the date of
      issuance of a stock certificate for such Common Shares, except as 
      provided in Article 10.

17.10 Limitation as to Directorship. 
     
      Neither the Formula Plan, nor the granting of a Formula Award, nor any
      other action taken pursuant to the Formula Plan shall constitute or be 
      evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that a
      Director has a right to continue as a Director for any period of time
      or at any particular rate of compensation.

17.11 Capital Adjustments.  
  
      The number and class of shares subject to each outstanding Formula Award,
      and the exercise price per share specified in such Formula Award Agree-
      ment shall be proportionately adjusted as provided in Article 10 in the
      event of any of the capital adjustments described in Article 10.

17.12 Termination of Formula Awards. 

      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, no Formula Award shall be
      granted pursuant to Section 17.2 on a date when the number of Common
      Shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan and then available
      for issuance pursuant to the new Formula Awards is less than the
      aggregate number of such Common Shares which would be issuable pursuant to
      Formula Awards otherwise required to be granted on such date assuming the
      full vesting and exercise of such Formula Awards. In the event Formula
      Awards are not granted as a result of the application of this Section
      17.12, no Formula Award shall thereafter be granted pursuant to the Plan.

17.13 Change in Control.  

      In the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the
      Company, then each outstanding Formula Award granted hereunder shall
      become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to the
      Formula Award.

17.14 Other Plan Provisions. 
 
      All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this Article 17 shall
      apply to Formula Awards granted to Directors; provided, however, that 
      the provisions of Article 5, Article 6 and Article 8 shall not apply to
      the grant of Formula Awards.  In the event of any conflict between a
      provision of this Article 17 and a provision in any other section of
      the Plan, such provision of this Article 17 shall be deemed to control
      with respect to Formula Awards.

17.15 Shareholder Approval.

      The provisions of this Article 17 are subject to the approval by the
      Company's shareholders of the amendment to the Plan pursuant to
      which this Article 17 was adopted within 12 months of the effective 
      date of such amendment, which was June 22, 1995.

      (b)  Existing Article 17 is redesignated as Article 18 and all existing
      references in the Plan to Article 17 or any of its sections or
      subsections (but not including any references to Article 17 or its

                    WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has adopted an amendment 
to the Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under 
the Plan; and

                    WHEREAS, the Company now desires to document such 
amendment.

                    NOW THEREFORE, upon these premises, the Plan is hereby 
modified, altered and amended in the following respects only, subject to
 the conditions set forth in Sections 2 and 3 below:

1.                  Amendment.  Article 3 is hereby amended to read in 
its entirety as follows:

        "ARTICLE 3.  LIMITATION ON AWARDS.

                  The aggregate number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units and
             Options awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 370,000.  If any
             Restricted Shares, Stock Units or Options are forfeited or if any 
             Options erminate for any other reason before being exercised, 
             then such Restricted Shares, Stock Units or Options shall again 
             become available for Awards under the Plan.  However, if Options
             are surrendered upon the exercise of related SARs, then such 
             Options shall not be restored to the pool available for Awards. 
             Any dividend equivalents distributed under the Plan shall not 
             be applied against the number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units 
             or Options available for Awards, whether or not such dividend 
             equivalents are converted into Stock Units.  In addition, the 
             maximum number of Restricted Shares, Stock Units and Options
             which may be granted to any single Participant during any one (1)
             Award Year is 85,000.  The limitations set forth in this Article 3
             shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 10.  Any 
             Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but
             unissued shares or treasury shares."

2.                  Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall become effective as of
February 6, 1996 subject to receipt of shareholder approval within 12 months 
of such effective date.

3.                  Ratification.  In all respects, other than as specifically 
set forth in Section 1 above, the Plan shall remain unaffected by this 
Amendment, the Plan shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the 
terms and conditions thereof, and in the event of any conflict, 
inconsistency, or incongruity between the provisions of this Amendment and 
any provisions of the Plan, the provisions of this Amendment shall in all 
respects govern and control.

                    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has duly executed this
Amendment effective as of February 6, 1996.
