Note C - Legal Proceedings

The Company is a party to routine litigation incidental to its business,
primarily involving claims for personal injuries and property damage incurred
in the transportation of freight. Management believes that adverse results in
one or more of these cases would not have a material adverse effect on
profitability or financial position. Additionally, a decision has been
rendered against the Company by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
("EEOC") for unlawful hiring practices regarding pre-employment questions about
medical issues.  The Company believed it was required by Department of
Transportation regulations to ask these questions. The Company is unable to
predict the range of any penalties which may be imposed, but accrued $250,000
in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 for potential penalties and associated
legal fees.  The Company believes that settlement of this charge will not have
a material adverse effect on profitability or financial position of the Company.

Note D - Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 1999 financial
statements to conform to the December 31, 2000 financial statement
presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on net income.

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

Results of Operations -- Second Quarter


Operating revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 (ended December 31,
2000) was $20,460,341 compared to $21,290,792 for the second quarter of
fiscal 2000, representing a decrease of $830,451 or 3.9% for the period.
Revenue per mile, including fuel surcharge, was $1.15 for the second quarter
of fiscal 2001 compared to $1.12 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000.  At
December 31, 2000, the Company's fleet consisted of 779 trucks and 2,234
trailers, while on December 31, 1999, the Company's fleet consisted of 728
trucks and 2,165 trailers. Logistics and intermodal revenue for the second
quarter of fiscal 2001 decreased by $254,223 from $1,580,368 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 to $1,326,145 for the same period of fiscal 2001.  The
Company's revenue continued to be negatively impacted by a shortage of
qualified drivers to operate its trucks during the second quarter of fiscal
2001.

Salaries, wages, and fringe benefits, made up primarily of drivers' wages,
decreased as a percentage of revenue to 28.6% in the second quarter of fiscal
2001 from 29.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 due to the slightly
higher revenue per mile. Company drivers were awarded approximately $202,000
in annual safety bonuses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2000
as compared with $265,000 awarded during the three-month period ended
December 31, 1999.

Operating supplies and expenses, as a percentage of revenue, increased to
23.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 from 22.9% in the comparable
period of fiscal 2000. Fuel costs for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
averaged 31 cents per gallon higher than in the comparable period of fiscal
2000.  Operating taxes and licenses  decreased to 4.4% of  revenue in fiscal
2001 from 4.8% in fiscal 2000.  Insurance and claims were 5.7% of revenue in
fiscal 2001, decreasing from 6.0% of revenue in fiscal 2000. Depreciation and
amortization increased to 11.5% of  revenue in fiscal 2001 from 3.6% in the
same period of  fiscal 2000.  This increase was largely due to a smaller gain
on sale of equipment of $92,155 which was realized in the second quarter of
fiscal 2001 as compared to a gain of $1,137,700 in the second quarter of 2000
as gains are netted against depreciation and amortization. The remaining
increase is due to depreciation on new equipment. Rents and purchased
transportation decreased to 30.5% of  revenue in fiscal 2001 from 31.8% in
fiscal 2000 primarily due to decreased logistics activities.

Operating revenue for the second quarter of 2001 decreased by 3.9% over the
comparable period of 2000, while operating expenses increased by $285,657 or
1.3%. Accordingly, the Company.s operating ratio increased to 107.6% in the
second fiscal quarter of 2001 from 102.1% in the same period of fiscal 2000.

Interest expense increased to 6.0% of revenue in the second quarter of fiscal
2001 from 4.0% recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 due to the
increase in debt associated with the purchase of new equipment.

ITEM 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Cont'd

Beginning in 1999 and continuing through 2000, the Company recognized a
previously unrealized tax benefit resulting from a sale/leaseback transaction
entered into during fiscal year 1995.  The Company took a position on its 1995
and later tax returns, which the Company believed might be challenged by the
Internal Revenue Service (the Service). The Company initially did not recognize
any tax benefit for financial reporting purposes.  The Company is currently
undergoing an audit by the Service for its fiscal 1997 tax period.  Although
the service has not made a final determination with regard to the lease
transaction and its tax consequences, the Company believes that the Service
will ultimately determine that its previous tax deductions were appropriate
and the Company will then recognize all benefits accrued through the most
current reporting period.  Consequently, the Company recognized a current
income tax credit of $383,500 during the quarter ended December 31, 2000.

Net loss for the second quarter of  fiscal 2001 ended December 31, 2000 was
($1,254,743) ($.39 loss per share) compared to net loss of ($326,001) ($.10
loss per share) during the comparable period of fiscal 2000, a decrease of
$928,742 or 284.9% for the period.

Results of Operations - Six Month Period

Operating revenue for the first six months of fiscal 2001 ended December 31,
2000 was $43,075,805 compared to $44,206,225 for the comparable period of
fiscal 2000, representing a decrease of $1,130,420 or 2.6%.   Revenue per
mile, including fuel surcharge, was $1.14 for the first six months of fiscal
2001 compared to $1.10 per mile for the same period of fiscal 2000.
Logistics and intermodal revenue for the six-month period of fiscal 2001
decreased by $767,209 over the comparable period in fiscal 2000. As in the
three-month period, a continued shortage of qualified drivers impaired the
Company's ability to produce revenue.

Salaries, wages, and fringe benefits decreased to 27.3% of revenue in the
six-month period of fiscal 2001 from the 30.6% reported in the six-month
period of fiscal 2000. This decrease was primarily due to the increase in
revenue per mile.  Operating supplies and expenses decreased to 22.4% of
revenue in fiscal 2001 from 24.7% in fiscal 2000. Taxes and licenses
decreased to 4.0% of revenue during fiscal 2001 from 4.8% in fiscal 2000.
Insurance and claims were 4.8% of revenue in fiscal 2001, decreasing from
6.2% of revenue in fiscal 2000. Depreciation and amortization, as a
percentage of revenue, increased to 10.9% of revenue in fiscal 2001 from 3.4%
in the same period of fiscal 2000. This increase was largely due to a smaller
gain on sale of equipment of $129,144 which was realized in the six-month
period of fiscal 2001 as compared to a gain of $2,450,013 in the six-month
period of 2000 as gains are netted against depreciation and amortization. The
remaining increase is due to depreciation on new equipment.  Rents and
purchased transportation increased to 33.1% of revenue in the first six
months of fiscal 2001 from 26.2% during the comparable period of fiscal 2000
due primarily to payments made to the Company's owner operators.

Operating revenue for the first six months of 2001 decreased by 2.6% over the
comparable period of 2000, while operating expenses increased by $1,700,530
or 3.9%. Accordingly, the Company's operating ratio increased to 106.0% for
the first six months of 2001 from 99.4% in the same period of fiscal 2000.

Results of Operations - Cont'd

Interest expense increased to 5.8% of revenue in the first six months of
fiscal 2001 from 3.4% recorded in the first six months of fiscal 2000.

Beginning in 1999 and continuing through 2000, the Company recognized a
previously unrealized tax benefit resulting from a sale/leaseback transaction
entered into during fiscal year 1995.  The Company took a position on its 1995
and later tax returns, which the Company believed might be challenged by the

any tax benefit for financial reporting purposes.  The Company is currently
undergoing an audit by the Service for its fiscal 1997 tax period.  Although
the service has not made a final determination with regard to the lease
transaction and its tax consequences, the Company believes that the Service
will ultimately determine that its previous tax deductions were appropriate
and the Company will then recognize all benefits accrued through the most
current reporting period. Consequently, the Company recognized a deferred
income tax credit of $767,000 during the six-month period ended December 31,
2000.


Net loss for the first six months of fiscal 2001 ended December 31, 2000 was
$2,321,581 ($.72 loss per share) compared to net income of $175,102 ($.05
earnings per diluted share) during the comparable period of fiscal 2000, a
decrease of $2,496,683 for the six-month period.


In July of 1999, the Company implemented  a new program in which owner-
operators may qualify to lease/purchase a truck and be paid a percentage of
the Company's revenue to operate it under a contract with the Company to haul
freight for its customers. This program for owner/operators is intended to
provide benefits to the Company during the term of the lease approximately
equal to the current employee driver program.  The program is an option for
drivers which the Company believes may improve driver retention.  Since the
owner/operator is responsible for certain of the costs born by the company
for employee drivers, the Company's income statement will reflect a shift
between individual cost categories.


The Company's cost for owner/operators is reflected in the income statement
as part of "Rents and purchased transportation."   The Company has incurred
a significant reduction in its costs for Salaries, wages and fringe benefits,
Operating supplies and expense, Operating taxes and licenses, and
Depreciation and amortization.  The increase in costs for "Rents and
purchased transportation" approximately equals the decreases in the other
categories, therefore having no significant impact on profit margin.

The Company's lease program is structured in such a way that the
owner/operator may elect to purchase the equipment for its fair market value
at the end of the lease.  Alternatively, the owner/operator may elect not to
purchase the equipment.  In the event that an operator does not purchase the
equipment, the Company anticipates that it may realize a benefit at the end
of the lease term when trucks are sold as a result of a higher trade-in or
re-sale value due to better care and maintenance by the owner/operator.

Results of Operations - Cont'd

Fuel Cost and Availability

The Company, and the motor carrier industry as a whole, is dependent upon the
availability and cost of diesel fuel.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2001,
the average cost per gallon of fuel was 31 cents per gallon higher than in
the same quarter of fiscal 2000.  For the six month period ended December 31,
2000, the average cost per gallon was 37 cents higher than in the same period
of fiscal 1999. Historically, increases in fuel costs have been passed
through to the Company's customers, either in the form of fuel surcharges, or
if deemed permanent in nature, through increased rates. Although the Company
has currently implemented fuel surcharges for its customers, there is no
assurance that any future increases in fuel costs can be passed through to
the Company's customers. The current or further cost increases or shortages
of fuel could affect the Company's future profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows generated
from operations and proceeds from borrowings.  The Company typically extends
credit to its customers, billing freight charges  after delivery.
Accordingly,  the ability of the Company to generate cash to satisfactorily
meet its ongoing cash needs is substantially dependent upon timely payment by
its customers.

Operating activities provided cash flows of $5.7 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2001 compared to $.1 million used during the same period of
fiscal 2000.  Cash flows from operations in the first two quarters of fiscal
2001 were the result of $2.3 million net loss, $4.8 million in depreciation
offset by $.1 million from gain on sale of equipment, and $3.3 million
provided by other working capital assets and liabilities.  Investing
activities used net cash of $.07 million during the first six months of
fiscal 2001 compared to $8.9 million net cash provided in the same period of
fiscal 2000.  Financing activities used net cash of $7.4 million during the
first two quarters of fiscal 2001 compared to $10.1 million  in fiscal 2000.

The Company's working capital decreased by $10.5 million to $3.2 million at
December 31, 2000 from $13.7 million at June 30, 2000. Historically, working
capital needs have been met from cash generated from operations.  Management
believes that the Company's working capital is sufficient for its short-term
needs.

Like other truckload carriers, the Company experiences significant driver
turnover.  The Company experienced a shortage of qualified drivers during the
quarter ended December 31, 2000. Management anticipates that competition for
qualified drivers will intensify. The Company seeks to attract drivers by
advertising job openings, encouraging referrals from existing employees and
providing a training program for applicants whose experience does not meet
the Company's minimum requirements, however, no assurance can be made that
the Company will not continue to experience a shortage of drivers in the
future.

ITEM 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Cont'd

During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company has taken delivery of
4 new trucks, increasing its fleet to 779 at December 31, 2000 and converted
109 trucks from its lease fleet to its company fleet. Additionally, the
Company has sold 46 of its 48 foot trailers resulting in a gain of
approximately $129,000.  The Company plans to convert the majority of its
trailer fleet to 53 foot trailers in the future in order to allow it to
compete for freight from the increasing number of customers who require 53
foot trailers for some or all of their shipments. The Company currently owns
and operates 1,092 of the 53 foot trailers and 1,142 of the 48 foot trailers.
