Note 1. Basis of Presentation

     The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of
     Swift   Transportation  Co.,  Inc.,  a  Nevada  holding  company,  and  its
     wholly-owned  subsidiaries  (the  Company).  All  significant  intercompany
     balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     These  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of M.S.
     Carriers,  Inc.  ("M.S.  Carriers"),  which merged with a subsidiary of the
     Company on June 29, 2001 (the  "Merger").  Upon  completion  of the Merger,
     M.S.  Carriers became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The Merger
     was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly,  the  historical
     financial  statements  presented  herein have been  restated to include the
     financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of M.S. Carriers.

     The financial  statements  have been prepared in accordance  with generally
     accepted  accounting  principles,  pursuant to rules and regulations of the
     Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  In the opinion of  management,  the
     accompanying   financial  statements  include  all  adjustments  which  are
     necessary for a fair  presentation  of the results for the interim  periods
     presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been condensed
     or  omitted  pursuant  to  such  rules  and  regulations.  These  condensed
     consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  should be read in
     conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto
     included  in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December  31,  2001.  Results  of  operations  in interim  periods  are not
     necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

Note 2. Contingencies

     The Company is involved in certain  claims and pending  litigation  arising
     from the normal  course of  business.  Based on the  knowledge of the facts
     and, in certain cases, opinions of outside counsel, management believes the
     resolution  of  claims  and  pending  litigation  will not have a  material
     adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Note 3. Receivable - Trans-Mex

     The Company has advanced $5.7 million to  Trans-mex,  Inc. S.A. de C. V., a
     Mexican  corporation of which the Company owns 49%. These loans,  which are
     secured by equipment,  bear interest at prime plus 2% with monthly payments
     of interest plus amortization of the principal over five years.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Report on Form 10-Q  contains  forward-looking  statements.  The words
"believe,"  "expect,"  "anticipate,"  and  "project,"  and  similar  expressions
identify  forward-looking  statements,  which  speak  only  as of the  date  the
statement was made.  Such  forward-looking  statements are within the meaning of
that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and Section
21E of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Such  statements  may
include,  but are not limited to,  projections  of  revenues,  income,  or loss,
capital expenditures, plans for future operations, financing needs or plans, the
impact of inflation and plans relating to the foregoing.

     Statements in Exhibit 99 to this  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q and in the
Company's  Annual  Report  on Form  10-K,  including  Notes to the  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  and  "Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," describe factors, among others, that could
cause  actual  results or events to differ  materially  from those  expressed in
forward-looking statements. Additional factors that could contribute to or cause
such  differences  are set forth in "Business" and "Market for the  Registrant's
Common Stock and Related Stockholder  Matters" in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

POOLING OF INTERESTS

     On  June  29,  2001,  the  Company  acquired  M.S.  Carriers,  Inc.  ("M.S.
Carriers")  through the merger of a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company with
and into M.S.  Carriers (the  "Merger").  Upon  completion  of the Merger,  M.S.
Carriers  became a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company.  The Merger has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Accordingly,  all historical financial
data  discussed  below has been  restated  to include  the  financial  position,
results of operations, and cash flows of M.S. Carriers.

OVERVIEW

     See  Note  5 to the  financial  statements  for  discussion  of  accounting
standards adopted by the Company.

     Although the trend in the truckload  segment of the motor carrier  industry
over the past  several  years  has been  towards  consolidation,  the  truckload
industry  remains  highly  fragmented.  Management  believes the industry  trend
towards financially stable "core carriers" will continue and result in continued
industry  consolidation.  The Company  expanded its fleet with an increase of 95
tractors to 15,486  tractors as of March 31, 2002 up from 15,391  tractors as of
March 31, 2001. The owner operator  portion of the Company's  fleet decreased to
3,204 as of March 31, 2002 from 3,463 as of March 31, 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001

     Operating revenue decreased $33.8 million or 6.6% to $475.8 million for the
three  months  ended March 31, 2002 from  $509.6  million for the  corresponding
period  of 2001.  The  first  quarter  of 2002  includes  $2.7  million  of fuel
surcharge  revenue  versus $18.5 million in 2001.  Excluding this fuel surcharge
revenue,  the  decrease  in  revenues  would have been  3.7%.  The  decrease  in
operating revenue,  net of the impact of surcharge  revenue,  primarily resulted
from the  reduced  number of trucks  operated  by the  Company  during the first
quarter of 2002 as compared to the same  period in 2001.  The Company  began the

                                       10

first quarter of 2002 with approximately 650 trucks without drivers.  The number
of unmanned trucks has since been reduced to approximately 300. In addition, the
Company operated during the first quarter of 2002 with more than 300 fewer owner
operators than the first quarter of 2001.

     The Company's operating ratio (operating expenses expressed as a percentage
of operating  revenue) for the first quarter of 2002 was 96.3% compared to 97.3%
in the comparable  period of 2001. The Company's  operating  ratio for the three
months  ended  March 31,  2002  decreased  as a result of  decreases  in certain
components  of  operating  expenses  as a  percentage  of  operating  revenue as
discussed  below.  The Company's  empty mile factor for linehaul  operations was
14.95% and 15.72% and average loaded  linehaul  revenue per mile (excluding fuel
surcharge)  was  $1.4171  and  $1.4178  in the first  quarter  of 2002 and 2001,
respectively.

     Salaries,  wages  and  employee  benefits  represented  38.0% of  operating
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2002  compared  with 37.8% in 2001.
Although the majority of our salaries, wages and employee benefits are variable,
the fixed  portion  will cause an increase  in this  percentage  when  operating
revenue decreases.

     From time to time the  industry  has  experienced  shortages  of  qualified
drivers.  If such a shortage were to occur over a prolonged period and increases
in driver pay rates  were  needed in order to attract  and retain  drivers,  the
Company's results of operations would be negatively  affected to the extent that
corresponding freight rate increases were not obtained.

     Fuel as a percentage  of operating  revenue was 11.4% for the first quarter
of 2002 versus 13.9% in 2001.  The decrease is primarily due to actual fuel cost
per gallon  decreasing by  approximately  28 cents per gallon (21%) in the first
quarter of 2002 versus the first quarter of 2001.

     Increases in fuel costs, to the extent not offset by rate increases or fuel
surcharges,  would have an adverse effect on the operations and profitability of
the Company. Management believes the most effective protection against fuel cost
increases is to maintain a fuel efficient fleet and to implement fuel surcharges
when such option is necessary and available.  The Company currently does not use
derivative-type hedging products.

     Purchased transportation as a percentage of operating revenue was 17.6% for
the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to 18.0% in 2001. The decrease is
primarily due to a reduction in the owner operator portion of the fleet.

     Rental expense as a percentage of operating  revenue was 4.7% for the first
quarter  of 2002  and  2001.  At  March  31,  2002  and  2001,  leased  tractors
represented 44% and 48%, respectively, of the fleet of Company tractors. When it
is  economically  advantageous  to do so, the Company  will  purchase  then sell
tractors that it currently leases by exercising the purchase option contained in
the  lease.  Gains on these  activities  are  recorded  as a  reduction  of rent
expense. The Company recorded gains of $403,000 in the first quarter of 2002 and
$19,000 during the first quarter of 2001 from the sale of leased tractors.

     Depreciation and amortization  expense as a percentage of operating revenue
was 7.7% in the first  quarter of 2002 versus 6.9% in the first quarter of 2001.
The Company  includes gains and losses from the sale of owned revenue  equipment
in depreciation  and amortization  expense.  During the three month period ended
March  31,  2002,  net  gains  from  the  sale  of  revenue   equipment  reduced
depreciation and amortization  expense by approximately $1.4 million compared to
approximately  $1.1  million in the first  quarter of 2001.  Exclusive of gains,
which  reduced  this  expense,  depreciation  and  amortization  expense,  as  a
percentage  of operating  revenue was 8.0% and 7.1% in the first quarter of 2002
and 2001,  respectively.  This increase is primarily due to a greater percentage
of the Company tractors in 2002 being owned versus leased.

                                       11

     Insurance and claims expense represented 4.1% and 3.4% of operating revenue
in the first  quarter  of 2002 and  2001,  respectively.  Included  in the first
quarter of 2002 are $4.0 million of increased  insurance  premiums over the same
quarter of the prior year,  approximately .8% of operating revenue.  The Company
expects this percentage will range between 4% and 5% this year.

     The Company's  insurance  program for liability,  physical damage and cargo
damage involves  self-insurance  with varying risk retention  levels.  Claims in
excess of these risk retention  levels are covered by insurance in amounts which
management  considers  adequate.  The Company  accrues the estimated cost of the
uninsured  portion of pending  claims.  These  accruals are  estimated  based on
management's  evaluation of the nature and severity of individual  claims and an
estimate of future claims  development  based on historical  claims  development
trends.  Insurance  and claims  expense will vary as a  percentage  of operating
revenue  from period to period  based on the  frequency  and  severity of claims
incurred in a given period as well as changes in claims development trends.

     Interest  expense  decreased to $2.3 million in 2002 from $13.0  million in
2001.  This decrease was due to lower interest rates, a shift in borrowings from
more  costly  M.S.  Carriers  debt to less  costly  Swift  debt,  and  decreased
borrowings under long term debt and capital lease obligations.  In addition, the
first quarter of 2002 includes the benefit of a $1.3 million reduction in market
value of interest rate  derivative  agreements of M.S.  Carriers while the first
quarter of 2001  includes a $3.0 million  expense for the increase in the market
value of the interest rate derivative agreements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  continued  growth  in  the  Company's  business  requires  significant
investment  in new revenue  equipment,  upgraded  and expanded  facilities,  and
enhanced computer hardware and software. The funding for this expansion has been
from cash  provided by operating  activities,  proceeds from the sale of revenue
equipment,  long-term debt, borrowings on the Company's line of credit, proceeds
from the accounts  receivable  securitization,  the use of  operating  leases to
finance the acquisition of revenue  equipment and from periodic public offerings
of common stock.

     Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was $35.6 million in the first
three  months  of 2002  compared  to $43.8  million  in 2001.  The  decrease  is
primarily  attributable to a larger increase in accounts receivable offset by an
increase in net earnings,  an increase in deferred  taxes, a positive  change in
the fair market  value of the interest  rate swaps,  and an increase in accounts
payable, accrued liabilities and claims accruals.

     Net cash used in investing  activities  increased  to $52.1  million in the
first three months of 2002 from $18.6 million in 2001. The increase is primarily
due to increased capital expenditures and an increase in notes receivable offset
by increased proceeds from the sale of property and equipment.

     As of March 31, 2002,  the Company had  commitments  outstanding to acquire
replacement and additional revenue equipment for approximately $390 million. The
Company  has the option to cancel  such  commitments  upon 60 days  notice.  The
Company  believes  it has the  ability to obtain  debt and lease  financing  and
generate  sufficient  cash  flows from  operating  activities  to support  these
acquisitions of revenue equipment.

     During the first three months of 2002, the Company  incurred  approximately
$10.5 million of non-revenue equipment capital expenditures.  These expenditures
were primarily for facilities and equipment.

     The  Company  anticipates  that it will  expend  approximately  $46 million
during the remainder of the year for various facilities upgrades and acquisition
and development of terminal facilities.  Factors such as costs and opportunities
for future terminal expansions may change the amount of such expenditures.

                                       12

     The  funding  for  capital  expenditures  has  been and is  anticipated  to
continue to be from a  combination  of cash  provided by  operating  activities,
amounts  available  under the  Company's  line of  credit,  accounts  receivable
securitization  and debt and lease  financing.  The  availability of capital for
revenue equipment and other capital  expenditures will be affected by prevailing
market  conditions  and  the  Company's   financial  condition  and  results  of
operations.

     Net cash provided by financing  activities  amounted to $7.6 million in the
first  three  months  of 2002  compared  to  $38.5  million  used  in  financing
activities in 2001. This increase is primarily due to increased borrowings under
the  line of  credit  and  increased  proceeds  under  the  accounts  receivable
securitization, offset by increased repayments of long-term debt.

     Management  believes  it will be able to  finance  its  needs  for  working
capital,  facilities  improvements and expansion,  as well as anticipated  fleet
growth, with cash flows from future operations,  borrowings  available under the
line of credit,  accounts receivable  securitization and with long-term debt and
operating lease financing  believed to be available to finance revenue equipment
purchases.  Over the long term,  the Company will  continue to have  significant
capital  requirements,   which  may  require  the  Company  to  seek  additional
borrowings  or equity  capital.  The  availability  of debt  financing or equity
capital  will  depend  upon the  Company's  financial  condition  and results of
operations  as well as  prevailing  market  conditions,  the market price of the
Company's common stock and other factors over which the Company has little or no
control.

INFLATION

     Inflation  can be  expected  to have an impact on the  Company's  operating
costs. A prolonged  period of inflation would cause interest rates,  fuel, wages
and other costs to increase and would adversely affect the Company's  results of
operations unless freight rates could be increased correspondingly. However, the
effect of inflation has been minimal over the past three years.

SEASONALITY

     In the  transportation  industry,  results of operations  generally  show a
seasonal  pattern as customers reduce shipments after the winter holiday season.
The  Company's  operating  expenses  also tend to be higher in the winter months
primarily  due to colder  weather,  which causes  higher fuel  consumption  from
increased idle time.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company has interest rate exposure  arising from the Company's  line of
credit,  approximately  $79 million of capital  lease  obligations  and accounts
receivable  securitization,  all of which have variable  interest  rates.  These
variable  interest rates are impacted by changes in short-term  interest  rates.
The Company  manages  interest  rate  exposure  through its mix of variable rate
debt,  fixed rate lease  financing and $70 million  notional  amount of interest
rate swaps. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt approximates carrying
values. Assuming the current level of borrowings, a hypothetical  one-percentage
point increase in interest rates would increase the Company's  interest  expense
by $2.6 million.
