As disclosed in the Company's quarterly report for the quarter ending June 30, 2004, the Minnesota division of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) conducted a compliance review of Transport America and proposed a conditional rating due to inaccurate driving logs maintained by the Company's drivers and owner operators. Since then, the Company worked closely with the FMCSA to establish a Safety Management Plan (SMP) that detailed the actions necessary to ensure accurate driving logs would be maintained by drivers and owner operators. On August 25, 2004, the Company was informed by the FMCSA that Transport America's safety rating of satisfactory will be maintained but a civil penalty of $33,750 is being assessed for technical violations of certain FMCSA regulations.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
