NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1998
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997.
NOTE B: NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
In the first three months of 1998, the Company's subsidiary, P.A.M. Dedicated
Services, Inc., entered into installment obligations for the purchase of revenue
equipment in the aggregate amount of approximately $11.6 million. These
obligations are payable in 36 and 60 monthly installments at interest rates
ranging from 7.00% to 7.50%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
Certain information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may relate to
financial results and plans for future business activities, and are thus
prospective. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties
and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from
future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general
economic conditions, competition and other uncertainties detailed in this report
and detailed from time to time in other filings by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, revenues increased 8.6% to $35.4 million
as compared to $32.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The main
factor for the increase in revenues was a 9.3% increase in the average number of
tractors from 920 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to 1,005 in the first
quarter of 1998.
The Company's operating ratio improved to 88.5% of revenues in the first quarter
of 1998 compared to 90.8% in the first quarter of 1997.
Salaries, wages and benefits decreased from 46.5% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1997 to 45.7% of revenues in the first quarter of 1998. The major
factors for the decrease were decreases in the amounts paid to Allen Freight
Services, Inc. (AFS) fleet owners and a reduction in the amount accrued for the
Company's 1998 Incentive Bonus Plan. These reductions were partially offset by
an increase in amounts paid to drivers due to changes in driver pay packages.
Operating supplies and expenses decreased from 20.6% of revenues in the first
three months of 1997 to 19.4% of revenues in the first three months of 1998. The
decrease represents a lower price paid for diesel fuel.
Interest expense decreased from 2.7% of revenues in the first three months of
1997 to 2.3% of revenues in the first three months of 1998. This decrease
reflects a lower average line of credit balance for the first quarter of 1998
when compared to the first quarter of 1997.
The Company's effective tax rate remained constant at 40% for the periods
compared.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first three months of 1998 the Company generated $4.4 million in cash
from operating activities. Investing activities used $13.0 million in cash in
the first three months of 1998. Financing activities generated $3.0 million in
the first three months of 1998 primarily from the borrowing of long-term debt.
The Company's principal subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., has a $15.0 million
secured bank line of credit subject to borrowing limitations. The line of credit
includes a provision that allows the Company to finance equipment at a reduced
interest rate of LIBOR + 1.50% (currently 7.19%). The maximum amount of
equipment that may be financed under this equipment provision is $7.5 million
with the remaining $7.5 million representing a general "working capital" line of
credit at an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.15% (currently 7.84%). Outstanding
advances on this line of credit were approximately $2.1 million at March 31,
1998, including $1.5 million in letters of credit. The Company's borrowing base
limitation at March 31, 1998 was $14.1 million. The line of credit is guaranteed
by the Company and matures on May 31, 1998 while the equipment portion of the
line of credit matures on May 31, 1999.

9
In addition to cash flow from operations, the Company uses its existing line of
credit on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term
debt. Longer-term transactions, such as installment notes (generally three to
five year terms at fixed rates), are typically entered into for the purchase of
revenue equipment. P.A.M. Dedicated Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company,
entered into installment obligations during the first three months of 1998 for
the purchase of revenue equipment in the amount of approximately $11.6 million
payable in 36 and 60 monthly installments at interest rates ranging from 7.00%
to 7.50%.
During the remainder of 1998, the Company plans to replace 355 tractors and to
add 105 additional new tractors and 300 additional new trailers, which would
result in additional debt of approximately $30.3 million. Management expects
that the Company's existing working capital and its available line of credit
will be sufficient to meet the Company's capital commitments as of March 31,
1998, to repay indebtedness coming due in the current year, and to fund its
operating needs during the remainder of fiscal 1998.
