PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD DECEMBER 12, 2000

This Proxy Statement is furnished to stockholders of Dynamex Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, December 12, 2000, and at any
adjournments or postponements thereof.

The enclosed proxy may be revoked at any time before it is exercised by
filing with the Corporate Secretary an instrument revoking it, by submitting a
subsequently dated proxy, or by appearing at the annual meeting and voting in
person. Unless revoked, a properly signed and dated proxy that is returned will
be voted in accordance with the directions thereon. If no instructions are
specified, the shares will be voted for the election of the nominees for
Director and for the ratification of BDO Seidman, LLP as independent auditors.
If other matters are properly presented before the Annual Meeting, the persons
voting the proxies will vote them in accordance with their best judgment.

If a stockholder owns shares in "street name" by a broker, the broker, as
the record holder of the shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance
with your instructions. If a stockholder does not give instructions to the
broker, the broker will nevertheless be entitled to vote the shares with respect
to "discretionary" items but will not be permitted to vote the shares with
respect to "non-discretionary" items (in which case, the shares will be treated
as "broker non-votes").

The election as a director of each nominee requires the affirmative vote of
the holders of record of a plurality of the outstanding voting power of the
shares of common stock represented, in person or by proxy, at the Annual
Meeting. Abstentions and "broker non-votes" are counted as present and entitled
to vote for the purposes of determining a quorum but are not counted for
purposes of the election of a director.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding common
stock represented at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the proposal to
amend and restate the Stock Plan. An abstention is counted as a vote against the
proposal to ratify the selection of auditors. A broker "non-vote" is also
counted as a vote against such proposal.

This Proxy Statement with the accompanying Proxy are first being mailed to
stockholders on or about November 10, 2000. The Company's Annual Report,
covering the Company's 2000 fiscal year, is enclosed herewith but does not form
any part of the materials for solicitation of proxies.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AT THE MEETING

At the Annual Meeting, holders of the Company's Common Stock (the "Common
Stock") will consider and vote (i) to elect as directors of the Company Messrs.
Richard K. McClelland, Kenneth H. Bishop, Brian J. Hughes, Wayne Kern, and
Stephen P. Smiley, (ii) to ratify the Board of Directors' appointment of BDO
Seidman, LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the year ended July 31,
2001, and (iii) to transact such other business as may properly come before the
Annual Meeting.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 10, 2000
(the "Record Date"), are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual
Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had issued
and outstanding, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, 10,206,817 shares
of Common Stock. Holders of record of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per
share on the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

The presence, either in person or by properly executed proxy, of the
holders of record of a majority of the voting power entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. The
election as a director of each nominee set forth above requires the affirmative
vote of the holders of record of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock
present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors
at the meeting.

Where stockholders have appropriately specified how their proxies are to be
voted, they will be voted accordingly. An automated system administered by the
Company's transfer agent tabulates the votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes
will be counted toward determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual
Meeting. Votes submitted as abstentions on matters to be voted on at the Annual
Meeting will be counted as votes against such matters. Broker non-votes will not
count for or against the matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

The accompanying proxy, unless the stockholder otherwise specifies in the
proxy, will be voted (i) for the election as director of the Company the five
nominees listed above, (ii) to ratify the Board of Directors' appointment of BDO
Seidman, LLP as independent auditors of the Company for the year ended July 31,
2001, and (iii) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that
may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof. Where
stockholders have appropriately specified how their proxies are to be voted,
they will be voted accordingly. If any other matter or business is brought
before the meeting, the proxy holders may vote the proxies at their discretion.
The directors do not know of any such other matter or business. Should any
director nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election,
the proxy holders may vote the proxies for the election in his stead of any
other person the Board of Directors may recommend. Each nominee has expressed
his intention to serve the entire term for which election is sought.

OPERATIONS AND COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

There were six (6) meetings of the Board of Directors during fiscal year
2000, five (5) via teleconference calls. No director attended fewer than 75% of
the meetings of the Board (and any committees thereof) that he was required to
attend.

Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive additional
compensation for serving as directors. Each director who is not an employee of
the Company will receive an annual fee of $6,000 as compensation for his or her
services as a member of the Board of Directors. Non-employee directors will
receive an additional fee of $500 for each meeting of the Board of Directors
attended in person by such director and $250 for each telephonic meeting in
which such director participates. Non-employee directors who serve on a
committee of the Board of Directors will receive $500 for each committee meeting
attended in person and $250 for each telephonic committee meeting in which such
director participates. On the date upon which a non-employee director is first
elected or appointed a member of the Board, he shall receive a grant of a
non-qualified stock option to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock.
Non-employee directors subsequently re-elected at any annual meeting of
stockholders shall receive as of the date of such annual meeting, the grant of a
non-qualified stock option to purchase 2,000 shares of common stock. On August
26, 1999 each non-employee director was granted options to purchase 2,000 shares
of common stock. On July 17, 2000, each non-employee director was granted
options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. Options granted to
non-employee directors are immediately exercisable. All directors of the Company
are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the
Board of Directors or committees thereof, and for other expenses incurred in
their capacities as directors of the Company.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has established three committees: a Compensation
Committee, an Audit Committee and an Executive Committee. Each of these
committees has two or more members who serve at the discretion of the Board of
Directors.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and making
recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to compensation of
executive officers, other compensation matters and awards under the Company's
stock option plan. During fiscal year 2000, the Compensation Committee consisted
of three members, Messrs. Bishop, Hughes and Smiley (none of whom is an officer
or employee of the Company). The Compensation Committee met three times during
fiscal year 2000. See "Report of the Compensation Committee" included elsewhere
in this prospectus.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company's financial
statements, audit reports, internal financial controls and the services
performed by the Company's independent public accountants, and for making
recommendations with respect to those matters to the Board of Directors. During
fiscal year 2000, the Audit Committee consisted of all four outside directors,
Messrs. Bishop, Hughes, Kern and Smiley. The Audit Committee met five times
during fiscal year 2000.

The Executive Committee exercises all of the powers and authority of the
Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company,
except as otherwise reserved in the Company Bylaws or designated by resolution
of the Board of Directors for action by the full board or another committee
thereof. The Executive Committee was designated in fiscal year 1997 and consists
of two members, Messrs. McClelland and Smiley. There were no meetings held by
the Executive Committee during fiscal year 2000.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

EMPLOYMENT AND CONSULTING AGREEMENTS

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. McClelland
which provides for the payment of a base salary in the annual amount of
$250,000, participation in an executive bonus plan, an auto allowance of Cdn
$900 per month and participation in other employee benefit plans. The agreement
also provides that upon Mr. McClelland's exercise of certain stock options to
purchase 48,000

shares of Common Stock, the Company shall pay Mr. McClelland a bonus equal to
the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares to be purchased by virtue
of such exercise. Unless terminated earlier, the employment agreement shall
continue until May 31, 2001, upon which date such agreement will be
automatically extended for successive one-year renewal terms unless notice is
given upon the terms provided in such agreement. Additionally, upon a sale or
transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company or certain other
events that constitute a change of control of the Company, including the
acquisition by a stockholder, other than certain named stockholders, of
securities representing 15% of the votes that may be cast for director
elections, the Company shall continue to pay Mr. McClelland the compensation set
forth in such agreement for the greater of two years from the date of such
change of control or the remainder of the agreement term. During the term of the
employment agreement and pursuant to such agreement, Mr. McClelland shall be a
member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Messrs. McClelland, MacDowell, Schmitz and Wicker have executed retention
agreements with the Company that provide certain benefits in the event their
employment is terminated subsequent to a change in control of the Company, as
defined in the retention agreements. The retention agreements provide that if
the officer is terminated, or if the officer elects to terminate employment
under certain circumstances, the officer shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment
of two times the sum of the officer's base salary and target bonus, an 18 month
continuation of employee benefits, and reimbursement of certain legal fees,
expenses, and any excise taxes. In the event the same type of benefits or
payments are payable under both the employment contract and the retention
agreement, Mr. McClelland will receive the higher benefit or payment, but not
duplicate benefits or payments.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Company's Compensation Committee (the "Committee") is empowered to
review and recommend to the full Board of Directors the annual compensation and
compensation procedures for all executive officers of the Company. The Committee
(comprised solely of non-employee directors) also administers the Option Plan.

As a matter of policy, the Compensation Committee believes that the annual
compensation of the executive officers should consist of both a base salary
component and bonus component. The base salary component should be based on
generally subjective factors and include the contribution the executive officer
made and is anticipated to make to the success of the Company, the level of
experience and responsibility of the executive officer, the competitive position
of the Company's executive compensation and the Company's historical levels of
compensation for executive officers. The Compensation Committee does not expect
to assign quantitative relative weights, however, to any of these factors. The
bonus component of the annual compensation of the executive officers should
provide executive officers with the opportunity to earn a significant portion of
their base salary in the form of incentive compensation, which therefore puts a
significant portion of their total compensation "at risk." This incentive
compensation is contingent upon the achievement of certain agreed upon
individual goals for each executive officer and the achievement of certain
corporate objectives such as continued growth in the Company's earnings and
revenues.

The Company does not provide for any long-term compensation for executive
officers other than through the granting of stock options. The Committee
believes that the grant of stock options enables the Company to more closely
align the economic interest of the executive officers to those of the
stockholders. Option grants are made in the discretion of the Compensation
Committee. The number of stock options granted to each executive employee is
based primarily on their relative positions and responsibilities within the
Company.

Pursuant to his employment contract with the Company, Richard K.
McClelland, the Company's chief executive officer, may not be awarded an annual
bonus in an amount greater than 60% of his base salary for the fiscal year then
ended, exclusive of special bonus payments to Mr. McClelland in 2000, 1999 and
1998 of $88,927, $113,877 and $19,890, respectively for the exercise on May 15,
1998 of certain options to purchase 48,000 shares of common stock. For fiscal
year 2000, Mr. McClelland was awarded a bonus of $125,000, which amount
represented 50% of his base compensation and, when aggregated with his salary,
represented a 36% increase over his aggregate fiscal 1999 salary and bonus. The
bonus was based on several factors, including the fiscal 2000 growth in the
Company's revenues and earnings. Additionally, Mr. McClelland was awarded 22,000
options under the Company's Stock Option Plan in July 2000.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Under the securities laws of the United States, the Company's directors and
executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's common
stock, are required to report their initial ownership of the Company's common
stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Such persons are required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Company with copies of all such reports.

To the Company's knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of
such reports and amendments thereto furnished to the Company, the Company
believes that during the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 2000, all Section
16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company's officers, directors, and
ten percent shareholders were met, except as follows: Messrs. Smiley, Bishop and
Kern failed to timely file two reports in connection with two transactions, and
Messrs McClelland, MacDowell, Schmitz and Wicker failed to timely file one
report. These were filed with the SEC on Form 5 "Annual Statement of Changes in
Beneficial Ownership."

STOCK PRICE PERFORMANCE

Set forth below is a line graph indicating the stock price performance of
the Company's common stock for the period beginning August 13, 1996 (the date of
the Company's initial public offering) and ending July 31, 2000 as contrasted
with the AMEX Market Index and the Russell 2000 Stock Index**. The graph assumes
that $100 was invested at the beginning of the period and has been adjusted for
any stock dividends distributed after August 13, 1996. No cash or stock
dividends have been paid during this period.

it can reasonably identify a peer group because it believes that there is

to those of the Company.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of the Company's common stock as of July 31, 2000 for (i) each person
known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the common stock, (ii)
each director, (iii) each Named Executive and (iv) all directors and executive
officers of the Company as a group. Except pursuant to applicable community
property laws and except as otherwise indicated, each stockholder identified in
the table possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to its or his
shares.
