                               SECURITY AGREEMENT


         THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT entered into this 27 day of June, 1995, by and
between CHOCTAW EXPRESS, INC., an Oklahoma corporation, whose principal place
of business and chief executive office is located at Highway 412 West, P.O.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association whose address is 165
Madison Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee 38103, Attn: Commercial Finance Division
(the "Bank").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         That for good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Grantor hereby agrees with Bank as
follows:

         1.  Definitions.  (a)  Reference is made to the Loan Agreement ("Loan
Agreement"), bearing date of the 26th day of July, 1994, as amended, among
P.A.M. Transport, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (the "Borrower"), P.A.M.
Transportation Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, as Guarantor, and the
Bank, said Loan Agreement being incorporated herein by reference.  All terms
used in this Security Agreement which are defined in the Loan Agreement or in
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") of Tennessee and which
are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set
forth therein, unless the context shall otherwise require.

         (b)  "Default" shall mean any event, circumstance or condition which
constitutes, or would, with the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both,
constitute an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Loan Agreement).

         2.  Grant of Security Interest.  As collateral security for all of the
Obligations (as defined in Section 3 hereof), the Grantor hereby pledges and
assigns to Bank, and grants to Bank a continuing security interest in, the
following (the "Collateral"):

                 (a)  All of the Grantor's accounts, accounts receivable, and
         unbilled revenue, whether or not earned by performance (collectively
         hereinafter "Accounts Receivable" or "Receivables") whether now or
         hereafter existing, arising out of or in connection with the rendering
         of transportation services, and all rights now or hereafter existing
         in and to all security agreements, leases and other contracts securing
         or otherwise relating to any such Accounts Receivable;

                 (b)  All of Grantor's customer lists, original books and
         records, ledger and account cards, computer tapes, discs and
         printouts, whether now in existence or hereafter created, relating to
         such Accounts Receivable;
   2
                 (c)  All proceeds ("Proceeds") of any and all of the foregoing
         Collateral.  (Although proceeds are covered, Bank does not authorize
         the sale or other transfer of any of the Collateral or the transfer of
         any interest in the Collateral, except for the sale of goods in the
         ordinary course of Grantor's business);

in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Grantor and
howsoever its interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership,
lease, security interest, claim, or otherwise).

         3.  Security for Obligations.  The security interest created hereby in
the Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the
following obligations, whether now existing or hereafter incurred (the
"Obligations"):

         (a)  The full and prompt payment, when due, of the indebtednesses (and
interest thereon), in the aggregate principal sum of Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000.00), evidenced and to be evidenced by those two (2) certain
promissory notes, one bearing date of the 26th day of July, 1994, and being in
the principal sum of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($7,500,000.00), and the other bearing date of the 27 day of June, 1995, and
being in the principal sum of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($2,500,000.00), both being executed by the Borrower, and both being payable to
the order of Bank, and any and all renewals, modifications, substitutions,
replacements and/or extensions of either of said notes, in whole or in part;

         (b)  The due performance and observance by the Grantor and Borrower of
all of their respective covenants, agreements, representations, liabilities,
obligations, and undertakings as set forth herein, or in the Loan Agreement (as
the same may be modified, renewed or extended from time to time) or in any
other instrument or document which now or at any time hereafter evidences or
secures, in whole or in part, all or any part of the Obligations hereby
secured; and

         (c)  The prompt payment and performance of any and all other present
and future indebtednesses, liabilities and obligations of Grantor or Borrower
to Bank of every kind, character, and description, whether now existing or
hereafter created or arising, whether absolute or contingent, due or to become
due, joint or several, matured or unmatured, direct or indirect, primary or
secondary, and including without limitation, all future advances to the Grantor
or Borrower and all obligations of the Grantor or Borrower with respect to any
letters of credit issued at any time by Bank for the benefit of Grantor or
Borrower.

         4.  Representations and Warranties.  The Grantor represents and
warrants as follows:

         (a)  The Grantor's chief place of business and chief executive office,
the place where the Grantor keeps its records concerning Accounts Receivable
and all originals of all chattel paper which constitute Accounts Receivable are
located at the address specified for the Grantor in the initial paragraph

other instrument.





                                     - 2 -

         (b)  (i)  Except as otherwise specifically mentioned in EXHIBIT "A,"
         hereto attached, the Grantor owns the Collateral free and clear of any
         lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance except for the
         security interest created by this Agreement.

              (ii)  Except for the financing statements filed in favor of
         Bank relating to this Agreement, and except for any financing
         statements filed with respect to the security interests mentioned in
         EXHIBIT "A," hereto attached, no other financing statement or other
         instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the
         Collateral is on file in any recording office.

         (c)  The exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies hereunder will
not contravene any law or governmental regulation or any contractual
restriction binding on or affecting the Grantor or any of its properties and
will not result in or require the creation of any lien, security interest or
other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its properties.

         (d)  No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any governmental authority or other regulatory body is required
either for the grant by the Grantor of the security interest created hereby in
the Collateral or for the exercise by Bank of its rights and remedies
hereunder.

         (e)  This Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the
Bank in the Collateral.  The filing of financing statements with the Arkansas
Secretary of State, the Circuit Court Clerk and Ex-Officio Recorder of
Washington County, Arkansas, and the County Court Clerk of Oklahoma County,
Oklahoma, will perfect and establish the priority of the Bank's security
interest hereunder in the Collateral, subject to no other existing liens and
encumbrances, except as otherwise specifically disclosed in EXHIBIT "A."
Except as set forth in this Section 4(e), no action is necessary or desirable
to perfect or otherwise protect such security interest.

         5.  Covenants as to the Collateral.  So long as any of the Obligations
shall remain outstanding, unless Bank shall otherwise consent in writing:

         (a)  Further Assurances.  The Grantor will at its expense, at any time
and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents and take all further action that Bank deems necessary or desirable or
that Bank may request in order (i) to perfect and protect the security interest
created or purported to be created hereby; (ii) to enable Bank to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or
(iii) to otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without
limitation:  (A) executing and filing such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, as Bank deems necessary or desirable or that
Bank may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created
or purported to be created hereby; (B) furnishing to Bank from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and
such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Bank may reasonably
request, all in reasonable detail; (C) marking conspicuously each chattel paper
included in the Accounts Receivable and, at the request of the Bank, each of
its records pertaining to the Account Receivable with a legend, in





                                     - 3 -
   4
form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, indicating that such chattel paper
is subject to the security interest created hereby; and (D) if any Account
Receivable shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or
chattel paper, delivering and pledging to the Bank hereunder such note,
instrument or chattel paper duly endorsed and accompanied by executed
instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance satisfactory
to the Bank.

         (b)  Taxes.  The Grantor will pay promptly and before the same become
delinquent all property and other taxes, assessments, and governmental charges
or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including claims for labor, materials,
and supplies) against, the Collateral, except to the extent the validity
thereof is being contested diligently and in good faith by proper proceedings
satisfactory to the Bank.

         (c)  Insurance.  This Section is intentionally omitted.

         (d)  As to Receivables.

                 (i)  The Grantor will (A) keep its chief place of business and
         chief executive office and all originals of all chattel paper which
         constitute Accounts Receivable, at the location(s) specified in
         paragraph 4(a) hereof, and (B) maintain and preserve complete and
         accurate records concerning the Receivables and the proceeds thereof.

                 (ii)  As of the time any Receivable becomes subject to the
         security interest granted by this Security Agreement, including,
         without limitation, as of each time any specific assignment or
         transfer or identification is made to Bank of any Receivable, Grantor
         shall be deemed to have warranted as to each and all of such
         Receivables that each Receivable and all papers and documents relating
         thereto are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be; that
         each Receivable is valid and subsisting and arises out of a bona fide
         sale of goods sold and delivered, or in the process of being
         delivered, or out of and for services theretofore actually rendered,
         to the account debtor named in the Receivable; that the amount of the
         Receivable represented as owing is the correct amount actually and
         unconditionally owing except for normal cash discounts and is not
         disputed, and except for such normal cash discount is not subject to
         any setoffs, credits, deductions or counter-charges; that the Grantor
         is the owner thereof free and clear of all prior liens, except for the
         security interest in favor of Bank and any security interest
         specifically mentioned in EXHIBIT "A" hereto attached; and that no
         surety bond was required or given in connection with said Receivable
         or the contracts or purchase orders out of which the same arose; and
         that Grantor has no notice of or reason to believe that the account
         debtor is subject to any pending bankruptcy proceeding, insolvency
         proceeding or operations of any creditors committee.

                 (iii)  Bank shall have the privilege at any time upon its
         request, of inspection during reasonable business hours of any of the
         business properties or premises of the Grantor and the books and
         records of the Grantor relating to said Receivables and inventory or
         the processing or collection thereof as well as those relating to its
         general





                                     - 4 -
   5
         business affairs and financial condition.  Bank shall have the right
         at any time after the occurrence of a Default, to notify any and all
         account debtors to make payment thereof directly to Bank; but, prior
         to a Default, and after a Default to the extent Bank does not so
         elect, Grantor shall continue to collect the Receivables.  Except as
         the Bank and the Grantor shall otherwise expressly agree in writing,
         all proceeds of collection of Receivables received by the Grantor
         shall be forthwith accounted for and transmitted to Bank in the form
         as received by the Grantor and shall not be commingled with any funds
         of the Grantor.  In the event the account debtor of any Receivable
         included in this Security Agreement shall also be indebted to the
         Grantor in any other respect and such account debtor shall make
         payment without designating the particular indebtedness against which
         it is to apply, such payment shall be conclusively presumed to be
         payment on the Receivable of such account debtor included in this
         Security Agreement.  Any proceeds of Receivables so transmitted to
         Bank shall be handled and administered by Bank in and through a
         remittance or similar account, but the Grantor acknowledges that the
         maintenance of such an account by Bank is solely for its convenience
         in facilitating its own operations pursuant hereto and that Grantor
         has not and shall not have any right, title or interest in said
         account or in the amounts at any time to the credit thereof.  Except
         to the extent Bank may from time to time in its discretion release
         proceeds to the Grantor for use in its business, all proceeds received
         by Bank shall be applied on the Obligations secured hereby, whether or
         not such Obligations shall have by their terms matured, such
         application to be made at such intervals as Bank may determine, except
         that Bank need not apply or give credit for any item included in such
         proceeds until two (2) business days after receipt by Bank of such
         item at its Main Office in Memphis, Tennessee. Items received after
         2:00 o'clock p.m. on any business day shall be deemed to have been
         received the following business day.  In administering the collection
         of proceeds as herein provided for, Bank may accept checks or drafts
         in any amount and bearing any notation without incurring liability to
         Grantor for so doing.

                 (iv)  After the occurrence of a Default, Bank shall have the
         right, but shall incur no liability for failing to do so, in its own
         name, or in the name of the Grantor to demand, collect, receive,
         receipt for, sue for, compound and give acquittance for, any and all
         amounts due or to become due on the Receivables, to adjust, settle or
         compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to
         the same extent as Grantor might have done, and to endorse the name of
         the Grantor on all commercial paper given in payment or part payment
         thereof, and in its discretion to file any claim or take any action or
         proceedings which Bank may deem necessary or appropriate to protect
         and preserve and realize upon the security interest of Bank in the
         Receivables and the proceeds thereof.

                 (v)  Grantor will from time to time execute such further
         instruments and do such further acts and things as Bank may reasonably
         require by way of further assurance to Bank of the matters and things
         herein provided for or intended so to be.  Without limiting the
         foregoing, Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to Bank an assignment
         or other form of identification in the form required by Bank of all
         Receivables at any time included





                                     - 5 -
   6
         under this Security Agreement, together with such other evidence of
         the existence and identity of such Receivables as Bank may reasonably
         require; and Grantor will mark its books and records to reflect this
         Security Agreement.  Grantor will accompany each transmission of
         proceeds of Receivables to Bank with a report in such form as Bank may
         require in order to identify the Receivables to which such proceeds
         apply.

         (e)  Transfers and Other Liens.  Without the prior consent of Bank or
as permitted by the Loan Agreement, the Grantor will not (i) sell, assign (by
operation of law or otherwise), exchange, or otherwise dispose of any of the
Collateral; or (ii) create or suffer to exist any lien, security interest or
other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Collateral
except for the security interest created by this Agreement, and except for any
security interest specifically disclosed in EXHIBIT "A," attached hereto.

         6.  Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

         (a)  The Grantor hereby authorizes Bank to file, without the signature
of the Grantor where permitted by law, one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral.

         (b)  The Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Bank the Grantor's
attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the
Grantor and in the name of the Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the
Bank's discretion, (following the occurrence of a Default not waived by the
Bank) to take any action and to execute any instrument which Bank may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, the following: (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required
to be paid to Bank pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof; (ii) to ask, demand,
collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive, and give acquittance and receipts
for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any checks, drafts or other instruments,
documents, and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above; (iv)
to sign its name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any Receivable,
on drafts against customers, on schedules and assignments of Receivables, on
notices of assignment, financing statements and other public records, on
verification of accounts and on notices to customers (including notices
directing customers to make payment direct to Bank); (v) to notify the post
office authorities to change the address for delivery of its mail to an address
designated by Bank, to receive, open and process all mail addressed to Grantor,
to send requests for verification of Receivables to customers; and (vi) to file
any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Bank may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise
to enforce the rights of Bank with respect to any of the Collateral. Grantor
hereby ratifies and approves all acts of said attorney; and so long as the
attorney acts in good faith it shall have no liability to Grantor for any act
or omission as such attorney.

         (c)  If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein,
Bank may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation,
and the costs and expenses of





                                     - 6 -
   7
Bank incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor under
Section 9 hereof, and shall be fully secured hereby.

         (d)  The powers conferred on Bank hereunder are solely to protect its
interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers.  Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder,
Bank shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral.

         (e)  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Grantor
shall remain liable under any contracts and agreements relating to the
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (ii)
the exercise by Bank of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the
Grantor from any of its obligations under the contracts and agreements relating
to the Collateral; and (iii) Bank shall not have any obligation or liability by
reason of this Agreement under any contracts and agreements relating to the
Collateral, nor shall Bank be obligated to perform any of the obligations or
duties of the Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce
any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

         7.  Remedies Upon Default.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred:

         (a)  Bank may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all
the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether
or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) require
the Grantor to, and the Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and
upon request of Bank forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as
directed by Bank and make it available to Bank at a place to be designated by
Bank which is reasonably convenient to Bank; and (ii) without notice except as
specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels
at public or private sale, at any of Bank's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on
credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other
terms as Bank may deem commercially reasonable.  The Grantor agrees that, to
the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least five (5) days'
notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable
notification. Bank shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Bank may adjourn any public or
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed
therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned.

         (b)  Any cash held by Bank as Collateral and all cash proceeds
received by Bank in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as
follows:

                 (i)  First, to the repayment of the reasonable costs and
         expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses,
         incurred by Bank in connection with





                                     - 7 -
   8
         (A) the administration of this Agreement, (B) the retaking, custody,
         preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale of, collection from,
         or other realization upon, any Collateral, (C) the exercise or
         enforcement of any of the rights of Bank hereunder, or (D) the failure
         of the Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof or
         of the Loan Agreement;

                 (ii)  Second, to the reimbursement of Bank for the amount of
         any obligations of the Grantor paid or discharged by Bank pursuant to
         the provisions of this Agreement, and of any expenses of Bank payable
         by the Grantor hereunder;

                 (iii)  Third, to the satisfaction of the Obligations, in such
         order as Bank shall elect;

                 (iv)  Fourth, to the payment of any other amounts required by
         applicable law [including, without limitation, Section 47-9-504(1)(c)
         the Code or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision];
         and

                 (v)  Fifth, the surplus proceeds, if any, to the Grantor or to
         whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a
         court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

         (c)  In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or
realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Bank is legally
entitled, the Grantor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with
interest thereon at such rate(s) as shall be fixed by instrument(s) evidencing
the Obligation(s) with respect to which such deficiency exists, together with
the costs of collection and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by
Bank to collect such deficiency.

         8.  Rights and Duties of Bank, Etc.  Bank undertakes, as to this
Agreement, to exercise only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement and to exercise such of the rights, powers and remedies as are vested
in it by this Agreement or by law.

         9.  Indemnity and Expenses.  (a)  The Grantor agrees to indemnify Bank
from and against any and all claims, losses, and liabilities growing out of or
resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of
this Agreement), except claims, losses, or liabilities resulting solely and
directly from Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         (b)  The Grantor will upon demand pay to Bank the amount of any and
all costs and expenses, including the fees and disbursements of the Bank's
counsel and of any experts and agents, which Bank may incur in connection with
(i) the administration of this Agreement (excluding the salary of Bank's
employees and Bank's normal and usual overhead expenses); (ii) the custody,
preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any Collateral; (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of

following the sending thereof, (c) if telecopied, upon confirmation of sending,
and (d) if delivered, upon delivery.

         11.  Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of Bank, all security
interests and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional irrespective of:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of
the Loan Agreement, any guaranty, or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto; (ii) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any
other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or consent to any departure from this Agreement, any guaranty, or
any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (iii) any increase in,
addition to, or exchange, release, or non-perfection of, any other collateral,
or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; (iv) any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the
Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement; or (v) the absence of
any action on the part of Bank to obtain payment or performance of the
Obligations from the Grantor or any other party.

         12.  Miscellaneous.  (a)  No amendment of any provision of this
Security Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the
Grantor and Bank, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no
consent to any departure by the Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it
is in writing and signed by Bank, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.

         (b)  No failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder or under any other instrument or document shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right.  The rights and remedies of Bank provided herein and in the
other instruments and documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not
exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law.  The rights of Bank under
any Loan Agreement between the parties, any guaranty, any other instrument
which now or hereafter evidences or secures all or part of the Obligations, or
any related document against any party thereto are not conditional or
contingent on any attempt by Bank to exercise any of its rights under any other
such instrument or document against such party or against any other party.

         (c)  Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without
invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity
or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         (d)  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the
Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in
full of all of the Obligations, (ii) be binding on the Grantor and its
successors and permitted assigns and shall inure, together with all rights and
remedies of Bank hereunder, to the benefit of Bank and its successors,
transferees, and assigns.  None of the rights or obligations of the Grantor
hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written
consent of Bank.

         (e)  Upon the satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, Bank
will, upon the Grantor's request and at the Grantor's expense, (i) return to
the Grantor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise
disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof; and (ii) execute and
deliver to the Grantor such documents as the Grantor shall reasonably request
to evidence termination of the security interest herein granted.

         (f)  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the statutes and laws of the State of Tennessee, except as required by
mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity or
perfection of the security interest created hereby, or remedies hereunder, in
respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction
other than the State of Tennessee. If any provision hereof is in conflict with
the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the provisions of the Loan Agreement
shall control.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Grantor has caused this Agreement to be
executed and delivered by its duly authorized officers on this the day and year
first above written.
