Item 5.           Other Events.

                  Recently, the members of the Board of Directors of Continental
                  American  Transportation,   Inc.   ("Continental")   uncovered
                  evidence  of  potential  criminal  activity  by certain of its
                  employees.  The Board voluntarily brought this evidence to the
                  attention  of federal  authorities,  and,  on Friday,  June 6,
                  1997, at the Board's  prompting,  federal  agents from the FBI
                  and the IRS searched the  business  premises of  Continental's
                  subsidiary,   Carpet  Transport,  Inc.  in  Calhoun,  Georgia,
                  interviewed several employees, and arrested Charles Prater.

                  The Board of  Continental  applauds  the  professionalism  and
                  dedication of the agents who  participated  in this  activity,
                  and pledges its complete  cooperation with the ongoing federal
                  investigation. The Board of Directors of Continental has done,
                  and  will  continue  to do,  everything  within  its  power to
                  uncover  and expose  criminal  activity  within  its  trucking
                  subsidiaries.  Continental's Board of Directors emphasized, by
                  these  actions  taken,  that its  shareholders  as well as the
                  public deserve nothing less.
