In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128
"Earnings Per share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 establishes standards
for computing and presenting earnings per share and applies to
entities with publicly held common stock or potential common
stock. SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings
per share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per
Share," by replacing the presentation of primary earnings per
share with a presentation of basic earnings per share. It also
requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share on the face of the income statement for all entities with
complex capital structures.
SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. The effect of SFAS 128 on the
Company's earnings per share has not been determined.

(UNAUDITED)
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, 1997, and June 30, 1996, are not neces-
sarily 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 1997 were
$97,340,744, an increase of $7,229,864 or 8% from Operating Reve-
nues for 1996's second quarter. For the same period, Operating
Expenses increased $3,646,020 or 4.6%; Income Before Income Taxes
increased $3,908,018, an increase of 35%; and Net Income in-
creased $2,355,976 or 33%. Earnings Per Share increased from
$.27 to $.37 for the respective quarters.
Operating Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
were $187,879,966, an increase of $15,377,296 or 8.9% over the
comparable period in 1996. For the same period, Operating
Expenses increased $8,479,058 or 5.5%; Income Before Taxes
increased $7,642,982, an increase of 40.5%; and Net Income in-
creased $4,634,327 or 38%. Earnings Per Share increased from
$.46 to $.64 for the respective six-month periods.
The traffic of New Penn Motor Express, Inc. ("New Penn"),
the Company's less-than-truckload carrier, increased during the
second quarter of 1997, and its operating revenues for the
quarter were greater than those of the second quarter of 1996.
Operating income for the second quarter substantially exceeded
1996's operating income for the same period.
Revenues among the Arnold Transportation Services group,
which consists of three regional truckload carriers, also con-
tinued to grow. Arnold Transportation Services, Inc. ("ATS"),
SilverEagle Transport, Inc. ("SilverEagle") and D.W. Freight,
Inc. ("DW") together produced a revenue increase of approximately
$880,000 when compared to their 1996 second quarter performance.
This revenue increase resulted primarily from additional freight
as opposed to higher rates. The three regional truckload carri-
ers are being consolidated; the consolidation process should be
completed in 1997.
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 1997 and 1996 and for the
six (6) month periods ended June 30, 1997, and June 30, 1996:

The Company's working capital at the end of the second quar-
ter of 1997 was $36,888,049, which is a decrease of $4,390,959 or
10.6% from the end of the first quarter of 1997.
The Company's investment in Property and Equipment (Less
Accumulated Depreciation) as of the end of the second quarter of
1997 stood at $200,196,807. This figure represents an increase
from December 31, 1996, of $582,888 or .3%. The increase re-
flects the Company's ongoing capital expansion program. Funding
for the Company's continuing capital expansion program will be
accomplished through the use of cash generated from current
operating and investment activities, supplemented, when neces-
sary, by short or long-term debt financing.
