2. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

   The  Company  had  non-cash  property,  plant  and  equipment  additions
   totaling  $4,169,000 and $3,603,000 for the six months  ended  September
   28,  1996  and  September 23, 1995, respectively,  which  were  financed
   through capital leases and equipment obligations.



                                    
        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                         and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues  for  the three months ended September 28, 1996 were approximately
$803,000  or  4.8% higher than the comparable three-month period  of  1995.
Revenues   for   the  six  months  ended  September  28,   1996   increased
approximately  $190,000 or .6% compared to the same period  of  1995.   The
increase  in revenue is due to an increase in the number of miles  traveled
for  the  quarter  and year to date and an increase in the average  payload
compared  to  the prior year.  The Company has opened two new terminals  in
March  1996,  and the revenues generated at these terminals has  more  than
offset the softness experienced at the Company's other terminals.

The  Company's  customers  are shippers or consignees  of  dry  and  liquid
commodities.  During fiscal 1996, 65% of the Company's shipments  were  dry
cement and, consequently, the Company's business is very seasonal.  Dry and
liquid chemicals, fertilizers and food products account for a large portion
of the remaining commodities.

Operating  expenses  increased by approximately $799,000  or  5.3%  in  the
current quarter and increased by $381,000 or 1.3% for the six months  ended
year  to  date  compared  to the same periods of  1995.   The  increase  in
operating  expenses  is  due to the increase in  volume,  the  increase  in
depreciation expense and the increase in fuel expense.

Salaries, wages and fringe benefits increased $416,000 or 5.6% and $230,000
or  1.6%  for  the  three months and six months ended September  28,  1996,
respectively,  compared to the same periods of 1995  as  a  result  of  the
increase in volume and higher health, welfare and pension costs.

Fuel  and fuel taxes increased $287,000 or 18.9% and $333,000 or 10.8%  for
the  current  quarter  and  year  to date for  fiscal  1996,  respectively,
compared  to  the same periods of 1995 as a result of the increase  in  the
number of miles traveled and higher fuel prices.

Depreciation  and amortization increase $146,000 or 16.0% and  $295,000  or
16.3%  for  the  three  months and six months  ended  September  28,  1996,
respectively,  compared to the same periods of 1995  as  a  result  of  the
purchase of 63 new tractors in April 1996.

Purchased transportation decreased $367,000 or 26.2% and $651,000 or  23.8%
for  the  current  quarter and year to date for fiscal 1996,  respectively,
compared  to the same periods of 1995 as a result of the reduced number  of
owner operators leased on to the Company.

Rent  expense  decreased $122,000 or 42.5% and $245,000 or  41.6%  for  the
current quarter and year to date for fiscal 1996, respectively, as compared
to  the  same  periods of 1995 as a result of renting  fewer  tractors  and
trailers  in  1996 and as a result of lower rental rates on some  equipment
rented in the current year as compared to the prior year.

Other  operating expenses increased $313,000 or 21.2% and $468,000 or 15.6%
for the three months and six months ended September 28, 1996, respectively,
compared to the same periods of 1995 as a result of the increase in volume,
the  increased  cost  of  hiring  and screening  drivers,  an  increase  in
communication costs and higher toll charges.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total current assets increased $2,028,000 at September 28, 1996 as compared
to  March  30,  1996  primarily as a result of  the  seasonal  increase  in
accounts  receivable offset in part by a drop in other accounts  and  notes
receivable  due to a payment received in April 1996.  Property,  plant  and
equipment  increased $4,818,000 from 1996 fiscal year end  primarily  as  a
result  of the tractors and trailers delivered in April 1996.  The $600,000
increase  in  the  receivable from parent since  March  30,  1996  is  also
seasonal in nature.

Accrued liabilities increased $458,000 at September 28, 1996 as compared to
March  30,  1996  primarily  as a result of  the  seasonal  nature  of  the
Company's  business.  The $371,000 and $366,000 increase  in  income  taxes
payable  and  noncurrent  deferred income taxes,  respectively,  from  1996
fiscal year and is a result of intra period tax allocation and the seasonal
nature of the Company's business.

Total  notes payable and long-term debt was $17,481,000 and $14,141,000  at
September  28,  1996 and March 30, 1996, respectively.  The $3,340,000  net
increase in debt is the result of $5,984,000 in new obligations to  finance
the  equipment  additions  and  seasonal working  capital  needs  less  the
reduction resulting from making the scheduled debt payments.


CASH FLOWS

The  Company had a net decrease in cash of $7,000 for the six months  ended
September 28, 1996 versus a $184,000 net increase for the six months  ended
September  23,  1995.  Cash provided by operating activities  decreased  by
$632,000  for  the six months ended September 28, 1996 as compared  to  the
same  period  of  1995 primarily as a result of lower  net  income  in  the
current  year  and  an increase in cash requirements for  working  capital.
Cash used in investing activities decreased $953,000 in the current year as
compared  to 1995 primarily as a result of fewer cash purchases of trailers
in  the current year.  Cash used in financing activities increased $512,000
primarily  as a result of making the scheduled payments.  The  Company  has
paid  $52,000  in  preferred  stock dividends  for  the  six  months  ended
September 28, 1996, representing the required dividends for two quarters.
