INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Plan Administrative Committee of
the USF Processors Employees' 401K Retirement Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of USF Processors Employees' 401K Retirement Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 2001 and 2000 and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2001. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
2001 and 2000, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) as of December 31, 2001 is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in the audit of the basic 2001 financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

USF PROCESSORS EMPLOYEES' 401K RETIREMENT PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000 AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following description of USF Processors Employees' 401K Retirement
     Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. More
     complete information regarding the Plan provisions may be found in the
     Plan document.

     General - The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by USF
     Processors, Inc. (formerly Processors Unlimited Company, Limited) (the
     "Company"), the sponsor of the Plan, under provisions of Section 401(a) of
     the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan covers substantially all
     employees of the Company who have at least one year of service. The Plan is
     subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
     1974 ("ERISA").

     Plan Administration - The Plan is administered by the Company. Fidelity
     Management Trust Company serves as the trustee of the Plan.

     Eligibility - Participants become eligible to enter the plan on January 1,
     April 1, July 1, or October 1 following the date the participant completes
     a qualifying year of service.

     Contributions - Each year, participants may contribute up to 15 percent of
     their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. The Company may
     contribute a matching contribution at the discretion of the Company's board
     of directors. Contributions are subject to certain Internal Revenue Code
     limitations.

     Investment Options - Participants direct the investment of their account
     balances and contributions into various investment options offered by the
     Plan. The Plan currently offers sixteen mutual funds, one managed income
     portfolio, and common stock of USFreightways Corporation (of which the
     Company is a wholly owned subsidiary) as investment options for
     participants.

     Vesting - Participants are vested immediately in their contributions and
     the Company's contributions plus actual earnings thereon.

     Payment of Benefits - Upon termination of service due to death,
     disability, or retirement, a participant or their beneficiary may elect to
     receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's
     vested interest in his or her account, or monthly, quarterly, or annual
     installments over a period of not less than five years, or life annuity,
     ten year certain and life annuity, cash refund annuity, joint and 100
     percent surviving spouse annuity, or joint and survivor annuity. For
     termination of service for other reasons, a participant may receive the
     value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum
     distribution or may be entitled to distribution of his or her account
     through an elected distribution method made by the participant in
     accordance with the Plan's provisions.

     Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan
     participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
     contribution, the Company's matching contribution, if any, and allocations
     of Plan earnings, and charged with an allocation of Plan losses.
     Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as
     defined.

                                      -4-




     The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
     provided from the participant's vested account.

     Loans to Participants - Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up
     to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account balance, whichever
     is less. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account
     and bear interest at rates commensurate with local prevailing rates as
     determined by the Plan administrator.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been
     prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
     the United States of America.

     Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
     the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes
     therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan
     utilizes various investment instruments. Investment securities, in
     general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and
     overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with
     certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in
     the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that
     such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial
     statements.

     Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition - Cash equivalents are
     stated at cost, which approximates market value. The Plan's investments
     are stated at fair value. Quoted market prices are used to value
     investments. Shares of mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of
     shares held by the Plan at year-end.

     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
     Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded
     on the ex-dividend date.

     Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon
     distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who
     elected to withdraw from the plan but were not yet paid at December 31,
     2001 and 2000.

                                      -5-

4.   PLAN TERMINATION

     Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
     right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
     terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

5.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity
     Management Trust Company. Fidelity Management Trust Company is the trustee
     as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
     party-in-interest transactions.

     Certain Plan investments are shares of the common stock of USFreightways
     Corporation. USFreightways Corporation is the parent company of the Plan
     Sponsor, USF Processors, Inc. and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
     party-in-interest transactions.

     Certain Plan investments are loans to employees of the Plan Sponsor, USF
     Processors, Inc., and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
     party-in-interest transactions.

6.   TAX STATUS

     The Plan requested a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
     in February 2002, but has not yet received a response. The Plan
     administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being
     operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and that
     the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as of the
     financial statement dates; therefore, no provision for income taxes has
     been included in the financial statements.
