Note I:    Basis of Presentation

     The financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim period.  This financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K and
any intervening reports.

     The results of operations for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 1996, and 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  


Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
           Condition and Results of Operations.

     Operating Revenues for the second quarter of 1996 were
$90,110,880, an increase of $6,727,965 or 8.1% from Operating
Revenues for 1995's second quarter.  For the same period, Operat-
ing Expenses increased $8,913,366 or 12.8%; Income Before Income
Taxes decreased $2,355,245, a decrease of 17.4%; and Net Income
decreased $1,369,185 or 16.1%.  Earnings Per Share decreased from
$.32 to $.27 for the respective quarters.

     Operating Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $172,502,670, an increase of $5,702,890 or 3.4% over the
comparable period in 1995.  For the same period, Operating
Expenses increased $13,072,619 or 9.4%; Income Before Taxes
decreased $8,085,329, a decrease of 30%; and Net Income decreased
$4,835,311 or 28.4%.  Earnings Per Share decreased from $.64 to
$.46 for the respective six-month periods.

     The second quarter of 1996 produced greater revenues for the
Company than the second quarter of 1995, but those revenues were
less profitable to the Company than in prior quarters due to
increased costs and greater competitive pressures.  Overcapacity
continues to exist in the trucking industry, and overcapacity
leads to strong competition and price-cutting.

     In late May and in June of 1996, the traffic of New Penn
Motor Express, Inc. ("New Penn"), the Company's less-than-truck-
load carrier, increased, and its operating revenues for the
second quarter were greater than those of the second quarter of
1995.  Operating income for the second quarter came reasonably
close to 1995's operating income for the same quarter.

     Revenues among the Arnold Transportation Services group,
which consists of three regional truckload carriers, also con-
tinued to grow.  Lebarnold, Inc. ("Lebarnold"), SilverEagle
Transport, Inc. ("SilverEagle") and D.W. Freight, Inc. ("DW")
together produced a revenue increase of approximately $4 Million
when compared to their 1995 second quarter performance.  This
revenue increase resulted primarily from increased volume at each
of these subsidiaries.  Nevertheless, the operating ratios of the
truckload divisions deteriorated during the quarter.  A substan-
tial portion of the increased operating expenses incurred by the
truckload carriers involved higher costs for fuel and insurance.

     Although all of the Company's operating subsidiaries con-
tinue to experience fierce price competition from other carriers
in the trucking industry, Company management remains focused on
improving operating efficiencies.  At the same time, management
continues to seek growth opportunities by offering expanded
trucking and warehousing related services to meet the needs of
existing and prospective customers.  Company management will
continue to seek opportunities for profitable expansion of the
Company through acquisitions and value-added services.

     Set forth below is a schedule of the Unaudited Operating
Revenues, Expenses and Operating Income of the LTL and TL
companies for the second quarters of 1996 and 1995 and for the
six (6) month periods ended June 30, 1996, and June 30, 1995:
