1.    Basis of Presentation  

            The financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
      such information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
      management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim

      audited financial statements at that date.

            The results of operations for the three and nine months ended
      September 30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results
      to be expected for the full year.    


2.    Purchase of Assets

            On June 29, 1995, the Company purchased the transportation assets
      of Cary Oil Company, Inc. for cash and entered into a long-term contract
      to provide transportation services to Cary Oil.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



      The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors that have affected the Company's financial position and
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial
statements.



Results of Operations
- -------------------------------
      Revenue for the third quarter of 1995 was $15,128,000, an increase of
$899,000 and 6% over the third quarter of 1994.  Net income was $583,000 ($.24
per share) compared to a $22,000 loss ($.01 per share) in the third quarter of
1994.  The 1994 third quarter net loss includes an extraordinary charge of
$823,000 ($.35 per share) for the write-off of intrastate operating rights.
Miles operated increased 5% to 9,987,000 in comparison to the third quarter of
1994.
      
      The increase in third quarter revenue reflects the effect of the Company's
program to take advantage of growth opportunities provided by intrastate
deregulation of trucking in 1995 and growth in transportation contract
relationships.  Our entry into new markets in Alabama and Tennessee and the
implementation of transportation services to Cary Oil Company under a long-term
contract provided the growth in revenue for the quarter.  

      Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $45,015,000, an
increase of $1,148,000 and 3% over 1994.  Net income was $2,314,000 ($.97 per
share) compared to $1,772,000 ($.74 per share) in 1994.  The 1994 nine-month
earnings include an extraordinary charge of $823,000 ($.35 per share). Miles
operated increased 2% to 29,987,000 in 1995.

      Operating expenses for the third quarter of 1995 totaled $14,204,000, an
increase of $1,254,000 and 10% over the third quarter of 1994. Operating
expenses increased due to increased driver wages as we continue our program to
enhance driver pay to attract and retain highly qualified professional drivers
and added fixed costs incurred for the expansion program and costs associated
with the start-up of the Cary Oil operation. Our operating ratio of 93.9% for
the quarter, though higher than historical performance, still compares
favorably with the trucking industry.

      Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totaled
$41,523,000, an increase of $1,732,000 and 4% over the first nine months of
1994. The operating ratio was 92.2% compared to 90.7% in 1994. The increase in
operating expenses that lead to the decrease in margins in 1995 was due to the
items discussed above. Increased costs to expand our markets may continue to
impact profits during the fourth quarter of 1995.

                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED


      
      
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
      The Company's financial condition at September 30, 1995 was strong.
Working capital was $11,318,000 and the current ratios were 2.2 at September
30, 1995 and December 31, 1994.  The Company had no debt outstanding under its
$7,000,000 bank line of credit. 

      Cash equivalents together with short-term investments totaled $12,598,000
at September 30, 1995. Cash flows from operations for the first nine months 
of 1995 were down $970,000 from 1994 levels due largely to the timing of
payments made for operating property and expenses. Net purchases of operating
property in 1995 were up $1,856,000 over 1994 levels due primarily to the
purchase of assets from Cary Oil and tractors purchased under the Company's
equipment replacement program. 

      The cash dividend was increased 4% to an annual rate of $.26 per share
effective with the quarterly payment in July. This was the seventeenth
consecutive annual increase in the dividend.

      The Company's operations require the storage of fuel for use in its
tractors in both underground and aboveground tanks. Beginning in 1989, the
Company began a program to upgrade its fuel storage facilities. Under the
program, the Company incurs costs to replace tanks, remediate soil
contamination resulting from overfills, spills and leaks and monitor facilities
on an ongoing basis. These costs are recorded when it is probable that a
liability has been incurred and the related amount can be reasonably estimated.
Such costs have not been and are not expected to be material to the Company's
operations or liquidity.
