MARKET DATA

Market data used throughout this prospectus, including information relating
to our relative position in the trucking industry, is based on our good faith
estimates, which estimates we based upon our review of independent industry
publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these
sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and
cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary contains information about Roadway and this offering.
It does not contain all of the information that may be important to you in
making a decision to exchange any outstanding notes. For a more complete
understanding of Roadway and this offering, we urge you to read this entire
prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference carefully, including the
"Risk Factors" section and our consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.

OVERVIEW

We provide seamless less-than-truckload, or LTL, general commodity freight
service between all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and provide
export services to 66 additional countries. We are one of the largest LTL motor
carriers in the United States and have the leading market share in long-haul LTL
service, serving over 165,000 individual customers.

The trucking industry operates under two main divisions: truckload, or TL,
and LTL. TL carriers dedicate full trucks to one customer and make deliveries of
goods from start to finish. LTL carriers take partial loads from multiple
customers on a single truck and then route the goods through a series of
terminals where freight is transferred to other trucks with similar
destinations.

We believe the next-day ground LTL market is the most attractive segment of
the trucking industry due to the growth in demand for expedited services for
just in time, or JIT, inventory systems. Adopted by many of our customers, JIT
inventory management has resulted in the need to ship smaller freight loads more
frequently and with expedited delivery, increasing the demand for the services
provided by us and other LTL carriers.

The LTL industry is composed of the following three segments:

- the REGIONAL segment, which ships on routes, also known as lanes, shorter
than 500 miles and is primarily served by next-day ground and, to a
lesser extent, two-day service;

- the INTER-REGIONAL segment, which ships on lanes between 500 and 1,200
miles and is primarily served by two- and three-day service; and

- the LONG-HAUL segment, which ships on lanes generally over 1,200 miles
and is served primarily by three-day and beyond service.

ROADWAY CORPORATION

Through our extensive network of approximately 375 terminals located
throughout North America, we offer long-haul, inter-regional and regional LTL
freight service on two-day and beyond lanes throughout the United States, Mexico
and Canada. We also offer TL services to complement our LTL business, usually to
fill back hauls and maximize equipment utilization. In addition, we provide
higher margin, specialized services including guaranteed expedited services,
time-specific delivery, North American international, coast-to-coast delivery,
sealed trailers, product returns, cold-sensitive protection and government
material shipments.

For the twelve month period ended September 8, 2001, we reported revenue
and operating income of $2.9 billion and $78.1 million, respectively,
representing a ratio of total operating expenses to total

revenues for the period, or operating ratio, of 97.3%. Our principal and
executive offices are located at 1077 Gorge Boulevard, Akron, Ohio 44310.

THE ACQUISITION

On November 30, 2001, we acquired Arnold Industries, Inc. for cash
consideration of an aggregate of approximately $553 million. We used the
proceeds from the offering of the outstanding notes, together with borrowings
under a new credit facility and proceeds from an accounts receivable
securitization, to finance the acquisition. Arnold is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of Roadway.

On November 30, 2001, following our acquisition of Arnold, we sold Arnold's
logistics business, ARLO, to members of the ARLO management team and Mr. Edward
H. Arnold, the former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Arnold,
for $105 million in cash.

ARNOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.

Arnold's trucking activities are currently conducted by New Penn Motor
Express, Inc. and Arnold Transportation Services, Inc., or ATS. New Penn is a
leading regional next-day ground LTL carrier operating from terminals in 24
cities primarily in New England and the Middle Atlantic states. We believe that
for the 2000 fiscal year, New Penn was the most profitable publicly reporting
LTL carrier in the industry. ATS operates as both a regional and inter-regional
dedicated TL carrier, conducting operations east of the Mississippi and in the
southwestern United States.

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2001, Arnold reported revenue and
operating income of $450.7 million and $49.8 million, respectively, representing
an operating ratio of 88.9%. Arnold and New Penn maintain executive and general
offices at 625 South Fifth Avenue, Lebanon, Pennsylvania 17042. ATS maintains
its principal office at 9523 Florida Mining Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida
32257.

OUR STRATEGY

Our strategy is to maintain and enhance our leadership position in the LTL
market by continually improving our two-day and beyond core service to our
extensive base of customers. At the same time, we intend to leverage the value
of our North American network and brand equity through the development and
marketing of higher yielding and faster growing specialty trucking services.

We believe the next-day ground market is the fastest growing segment in the
surface transportation industry. Our acquisition of Arnold enables us to enter
this market with a leading next-day carrier. We intend to use New Penn as our
platform for growth of next-day ground service into other geographic areas.

We intend to allocate a significant portion of our free cash flow to pay
down debt and increase our financial flexibility. We believe reducing our debt
level over the near term will increase our ability to pursue strategic
opportunities as they arise.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

The exchange offer............ We are offering to exchange $225.0 million in
principal amount of our 8 1/4% senior notes due
December 1, 2008, which have been registered
under the federal securities laws, for $225.0
million principal amount of our outstanding
unregistered 8 1/4% senior notes due December
1, 2008, which we issued on November 30, 2001
in a private placement. You have the right to
exchange your outstanding notes for exchange
notes with substantially identical terms.

In order for your outstanding notes to be
exchanged, you must properly tender them prior
to the expiration of the exchange offer. All
outstanding notes that are validly tendered and
not validly withdrawn will be exchanged. We
will issue the exchange notes on or promptly
after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Registration rights
agreement..................... We issued the outstanding notes on November 30,
2001 to a limited number of initial purchasers.
At that time, we signed a registration rights
agreement with those initial purchasers, which
requires us to conduct this exchange offer.
This exchange offer is intended to satisfy
those rights set forth in the registration
rights agreement. After the exchange offer is
complete, you will not have any further rights
under the registration rights agreement,
including any right to require us to register
any outstanding notes that you do not exchange
or to pay you liquidated damages.

Failure to exchange your
outstanding notes............. If you do not exchange your outstanding notes
for exchange notes in the exchange offer, you
will continue to be subject to the restrictions
on transfer provided in the outstanding notes
and the indenture governing those notes. In
general, you may not offer or sell your
outstanding notes unless they are registered
under the federal securities laws or are sold
in a transaction exempt from or not subject to
the registration requirements of the federal
securities laws and applicable state securities
laws.

Expiration date............... The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on February 13, 2002,
unless we decide to extend the expiration date.

Conditions to the exchange
offer......................... The exchange offer is subject to conditions
that we may waive. The exchange offer is not
conditioned upon any minimum amount of
outstanding notes being tendered for exchange.

We reserve the right, subject to applicable
law, at any time and from time to time:

- to extend the expiration date of the exchange
offer or to terminate the exchange offer if
specified conditions have not been satisfied;
and

- to amend the terms of the exchange offer in
any manner consistent with the registration
rights agreement.

Procedures for tendering
notes......................... If you wish to tender your outstanding notes
for exchange, you must:

- complete and sign the enclosed letter of
transmittal by following the related
instructions; and

- send the letter of transmittal, as directed
in the instructions, together with any other
required documents, to the exchange agent,
either (1) with the outstanding notes to be
tendered or (2) in compliance with the
specific procedures for guaranteed delivery
of the outstanding notes.

Brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust
companies and other nominees may also effect
tenders by book-entry transfer.

Please do not send your letter of transmittal
or certificates representing your outstanding
notes to us. Those documents should only be
sent the exchange agent. Questions regarding
how to tender and requests for information
should be directed to the exchange agent.

Special procedures for
beneficial owners............. If your outstanding notes are registered in the
name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank,
trust company or other nominee, we urge you to
contact that person promptly if you wish to
tender your outstanding notes pursuant to the
exchange offer.

Withdrawal rights............. You may withdraw the tender of your outstanding
notes at any time prior to the expiration date
of the exchange offer by delivering a written
notice of your withdrawal to the exchange
agent. You must also follow the withdrawal
procedures as described under the heading "The
Exchange Offer -- Withdrawal of Tenders."

Federal income tax
considerations................ The exchange of outstanding notes for the
exchange notes in the exchange offer should not
be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax
purposes.

Resales of exchange notes..... We believe that you will be able to offer for
resale, resell or otherwise transfer exchange
notes issued in the exchange offer without
compliance with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the federal securities
laws, unless you are a broker-dealer receiving
exchange notes for your own account, provided
that:

- you are acquiring the exchange notes in the
ordinary course of business;

- you do not have any arrangement or
understanding with any person to participate
in the distribution of the outstanding notes
or the exchange notes;

- you are not engaged in, and do not intend to
engage in, a distribution of the exchange
notes;

- you are not one of our "affiliates." You are
an affiliate if you are a person that
"controls or is controlled by or is under
common control with" us.

Our belief is based on interpretations by the
staff of the Commission, as set forth in
no-action letters issued to third parties
unrelated to us. The staff of the Commission
has not considered this exchange offer in the
context of a no-action letter, and we cannot
assure you that the staff would make a similar
determination with respect to this exchange
offer.

If our belief is not accurate and you transfer
an exchange note without delivering a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the
federal securities laws or without an exemption
from these laws, you may incur liability under
the federal securities laws. We do not and will
not assume or indemnify you against this
liability.

Exchange Agent................ The exchange agent for the exchange offer is
SunTrust Bank. The address, telephone number
and facsimile number of the exchange agent are
set forth in "The Exchange Offer -- Exchange
Agent" and in the letter of transmittal.

THE EXCHANGE NOTES

The summary below describes the principal terms of the exchange notes. Some
of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations
and exceptions. The "Description of Notes" section of this prospectus contains a
more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the exchange notes.

Issuer........................ Roadway Corporation

Exchange Notes................ $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
8 1/4% senior notes due December 1, 2008

Maturity...................... December 1, 2008

Interest payment dates........ June 1 and December 1, beginning June 1, 2002.
Interest will accrue from the issue date of the
outstanding notes, which was November 30, 2001.

Optional redemption........... We may redeem the exchange notes at any time
prior to maturity at the redemption price
described in the "Description of Notes" section
of this prospectus.

Guarantees.................... The exchange notes will be unconditionally
guaranteed by each of our subsidiaries that
guarantees our other debt obligations for so
long as such subsidiary is a guarantor of our
other debt obligations.

Ranking....................... The exchange notes will rank equally with our
other senior indebtedness. The notes will be
effectively subordinated to all secured debt of
our subsidiary guarantors and to all debt of
our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

As of September 8, 2001, after giving effect to
the offering of the outstanding notes, the
borrowings under our new credit facility,
receipt of the proceeds from the accounts
receivable securitization and our sale of ARLO
and the application of the net after-tax
proceeds therefrom to prepay a portion of the
borrowings under the new credit facility, we
would have had $325.0 million of total
indebtedness, all of which would have been
senior indebtedness, and our subsidiaries would
have had $5.5 million of total indebtedness,
all of which would have been effectively ranked
senior to the exchange notes.

Security...................... The exchange notes will be secured, equally and
ratably with debt under our new credit facility
and any successor or replacement thereof, by
liens on the capital stock of the subsidiaries,
the capital stock of which is pledged under our
new credit facility, and any successor or
replacement thereof.

The liens securing the exchange notes will be
automatically released if the liens securing
our obligations under our new credit facility
and any successor or replacement thereof are
released. Please read "Risk Factors -- The
guarantees may be terminated, and the liens
securing the exchange notes may be released,
without the consent of the note holders."

Certain covenants............. The indenture governing the exchange notes
limits our ability to:

- incur liens on our assets to secure debt;

- merge or consolidate with another company;

- engage in sale and leaseback transactions;
and

- transfer our assets substantially or in their
entirety.

These covenants are subject to a number of
important qualifications and exceptions
described in the "Description of Notes" section
of this prospectus.

Use of proceeds............... We will not receive any cash proceeds from the
issuance of the exchange notes. See "Use of
Proceeds."

Risk factors.................. See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of the
factors you should carefully consider before
deciding to exchange any outstanding notes.

(1) EBITDA is defined as income before income tax expense, interest expense,
depreciation expense and amortization of costs in excess of net tangible
assets acquired and other intangible assets. Historically, we have had no
debt and therefore, there are no deferred loan origination fees to be
amortized. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for
operating income or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flows from
operating activities, which are determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, it is included in this prospectus to provide
additional information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt
service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA is
also included because management believes that some investors find it to be
a useful tool for measuring the ability to service debt.

(2) Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing the sum of
income before income tax expense and fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed
charges comprise interest expense and interest expense included in rental
payments.

ARNOLD SUMMARY HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

financial statements were prepared by Arnold's management on a basis consistent

all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
information. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved for future

(1) EBITDA is defined as income before income tax expense, interest expense,
depreciation expense, amortization of costs in excess of net tangible assets
acquired and other intangible assets and amortization of deferred loan
origination fees. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for
operating income or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flows from
operating activities, which are determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, it is included in this prospectus to provide
additional information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt
service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA is
also included because management believes that some investors find it to be
a useful tool for measuring the ability to service debt.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

We derived the following unaudited pro forma financial data from our
audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000,
Arnold's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2000, our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the thirty-six
week period (three quarters) ended September 8, 2001 and Arnold's unaudited
consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.
The financial data are calculated as if the acquisition of Arnold, using the
proceeds from the offering of the outstanding notes together with borrowings
under our new credit facility and proceeds from the accounts receivable
securitization, had occurred on January 1, 2000 for the operating data and as of
September 8, 2001 for the balance sheet data. The financial data also give
effect to our sale of ARLO, and the application of the net after-tax proceeds
therefrom to prepay a portion of the borrowings under the new credit facility.

portion of the borrowings under the new credit facility.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the exchange notes involves risk. You should carefully
consider the following risk factors as well as all of the other information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before you decide to
exchange any outstanding notes.

BECAUSE THE BARRIERS TO ENTRY INTO OUR INDUSTRY ARE RELATIVELY LOW, COMPETITION
IS INTENSE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LOWER MARGINS OR LOSS OF MARKET SHARE.

The trucking industry is extremely competitive. Our principal competitors
for LTL freight include national and international LTL companies as well as
regional LTL motor carriers, truckload carriers, small package carriers, private
carriage, freight forwarders, railroads and airlines. ATS faces strong
competition in securing contracts for TL carriage. Competition in the trucking
industry is based on, among other things, freight rates, quality of service,
reliability, transit times and scope of operations. Periods of overcapacity in
the trucking industry have led to intense competition and price discounting,
resulting in decreased margins and a significant number of business failures.
There can be no assurance that we will be successful in meeting the competitive
demands of the trucking industry.

MANY OF OUR EMPLOYEES ARE UNIONIZED, WHICH MAY RESULT IN WORK STOPPAGES AND
WHICH MAY DISADVANTAGE US RELATIVE TO NON-UNIONIZED COMPETITORS.

As of September 8, 2001, approximately 75% of our employees were
represented by various labor unions, primarily the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen, and Helpers of America. Most of New Penn's
2,000 employees are also represented by the Teamsters. Both our and New Penn's
collective bargaining agreement expires on March 31, 2003. There can be no
assurance that we will not become subject to additional work rules imposed by
agreements with labor unions, or that work stoppages or other labor disturbances
will not occur in the future, any of which could have a material adverse effect
on our operations. Similarly, any failure to reach agreement on new labor
agreements when required might result in a work stoppage that could have a
material adverse effect on our operations.

Deregulation of most of the trucking industry, begun in 1980 and largely
completed by Congress in 1995, has given rise to intense competition. New
entrants, some of which have grown rapidly in regional markets, include some
non-union carriers. It is generally believed that non-union carriers in the
trucking industry have advantages over unionized carriers like us, which include
less restrictive work rules and lower labor costs, particularly with respect to
benefit plan costs.

WE REMAIN SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF EQUIPMENT, SAFETY MEASURES AND
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN REQUIREMENTS THAT REDUCE OUR
REVENUES OR ARE COSTLY TO COMPLY WITH.

Our business is subject to regulation by various federal, state and foreign
governmental entities, and there can be no assurance that changes in applicable
laws and regulations, or costs of complying with current or future laws and
regulations, will not have a material adverse effect on us. The U.S. Department
of Transportation, which retains limited oversight authority over motor
carriers, currently regulates our operations in domestic interstate commerce.
Federal legislation prohibits the states from enacting or enforcing a law,
regulation or other provision related to a price, route or service of any motor
carrier in interstate commerce. We, like other interstate motor carriers, are
subject to safety requirements governing interstate operations prescribed by the
DOT. In addition, vehicle dimensions and driver hours of service remain subject
to both federal and state regulation. More restrictive limitations on vehicle
weight and size, trailer length and configuration, or driver hours of service
could have a material adverse affect on our operating results.

Our business is also subject to federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations relating to, among other things, the generation, storage,
handling, use and transportation of hazardous materials, the emission and
discharge of hazardous materials into the atmosphere from our properties and our
vehicles. Under specific environmental laws, we could be held responsible for
all of the costs relating to any contamination at our past or present facilities
and at third party waste disposal sites. We cannot assure you
11

that our costs of complying with current and future environmental laws, and our
liabilities arising from releases or disposal of hazardous substances will not
have a material adverse effect on our operating results, business or financial
condition.

THE COST OF THE ARNOLD ACQUISITION COULD INCREASE.

The cost of the Arnold acquisition could increase if there are substantial
undisclosed liabilities related to Arnold.

The cost of the Arnold acquisition could also increase if Arnold is unable
to obtain releases related to several leases to which ATS is party. The leases
relate to the logistics business of ARLO and are expected to be assigned to
ARLO's new owner. However, if releases of ATS's obligations under the leases are
not obtained, Arnold will remain liable for the rent, insurance and other
obligations under the leases.

BECAUSE OUR TRUCKS RUN ON DIESEL FUEL AND THERE ARE LIMITS ON ATS'S ABILITY TO
PASS ON INCREASES IN FUEL PRICES TO CUSTOMERS, CHANGES IN FUEL COSTS COULD
REDUCE THE PROFITABILITY OF ATS.

We depend on diesel fuel to run our trucks. In the TL market, where ATS
operates, most customer rates are subject to negotiated contracts and
agreements, which minimizes our ability to pass fuel cost increases to these
customers. If the cost of fuel increases, ATS's operating results will be
affected.

OUR FORMER PARENT IS UNDER EXAMINATION BY THE IRS AND, AS A RESULT, WE MAY BE
REQUIRED TO REIMBURSE OUR FORMER PARENT FOR ADDITIONAL TAXES AND INTEREST
RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS PRIOR TO OUR SPIN-OFF.

Our former parent, Roadway Services, Inc., is currently under examination
by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to the
spin-off of Roadway Express. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for
these tax years for multiemployer pension plan deductions. The IRS is
challenging the timing, not the validity, of these deductions. We are unable to
predict the ultimate outcome of this matter. Under a tax sharing agreement
entered into by us and Roadway Services at the time of our spin-off, we are
obligated to reimburse Roadway Services for any additional taxes and interest
that relate to our business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of
payments, if any, is dependent on the ultimate resolution of Roadway Services'
disputes with the IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the
obligations under the tax sharing agreement. We cannot assure you that the
amount or timing of any liability we may have to Roadway Services will not have
a material adverse effect on our operating results or financial condition.

OUR GROWTH DEPENDS IN PART ON THE SUCCESS OF THE ARNOLD ACQUISITION.

Our growth depends in part on our acquisition of Arnold. However, the
acquisition involves risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual growth
to differ from our expectations. For example, if Arnold's future financial
results are not consistent with its historical results, our combined company may
be less profitable than we expect.

OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR BUSINESS AND LOSS OF KEY
PERSONNEL COULD IMPAIR OUR SUCCESS.

We benefit from the leadership and experience of our senior management
team, and we depend on their continued services in order to successfully
implement our business strategy. We have not entered into employment agreements
with our management members. The loss of key personnel could have a material
adverse effect on our operating results, business or financial condition.

OUR BUSINESS MAY BE HARMED BY ANTI-TERRORISM MEASURES.

In the aftermath of recent terrorist attacks on the United States, federal,
state and municipal authorities have implemented and are implementing various
security measures, including checkpoints and travel restrictions on large
trucks. Although many companies will be adversely affected by any slowdown in

the availability of freight transportation, the negative impact could affect our
business disproportionately. For example, we offer specialized services that
guarantee on-time delivery. If the new security measures disrupt or impede the
timing of our deliveries, we may fail to meet the needs of our customers, or may
incur increased expenses to do so. We cannot assure you that these measures will
not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, our ability to make
payments on the exchange notes or the ability of our subsidiaries to make
payments under the guarantees.

BECAUSE OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON ECONOMIC ACTIVITY TO GENERATE FREIGHT TO HAUL,
ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS COULD AFFECT THE RESULTS OF OUR OPERATIONS.

Fuel shortages, interest rate fluctuations, economic recession, changes in
currency exchange rates and changes in customers' business cycles and business
practices are among the factors over which we have no control, but which may
adversely effect our financial condition or results of operations. Our
operations are primarily conducted in the United States but are also conducted
in major foreign countries. As a result, we are subject to the foregoing factors
both domestically and internationally.

OUR BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED THROUGH OUR SUBSIDIARIES AND WE WILL DEPEND ON THE
BUSINESS OF OUR SUBSIDIARIES TO SATISFY OUR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE EXCHANGE
NOTES.

We conduct operations through our subsidiaries. As a result, we depend on
dividends, loans or advances or payments from our subsidiaries to satisfy our
financial obligations and make payments to our investors. The ability of our
subsidiaries to pay dividends and make other payments to us is restricted by,
among other things, applicable corporate and other laws and regulations. This
ability may be further restricted in the future by agreements to which our
subsidiaries may be a party. Although the exchange notes are guaranteed by the
subsidiary guarantors, each guarantee is subordinated to all secured debt of the
relevant subsidiary guarantor.

UNDER SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, A COURT COULD VOID THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES.

All of our material domestic subsidiaries will initially guarantee the
exchange notes. If, however, any subsidiary becomes a debtor in a case under the
United States Bankruptcy Code or encounters other financial difficulty, under
federal or state fraudulent transfer law a court might void its guarantee. The
court might do so if it found that when the subsidiary entered into its
guarantee (or, in some states, when payments become due thereunder), it (a)
received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the
guarantee and (b) either (1) was or was rendered insolvent, (2) was left with
inadequate capital to conduct its business or (3) believed or should have
believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay. The court might
also void a guarantee, without regard to those factors, if it found that the
subsidiary entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or
defraud its creditors.

A court would likely find that a subsidiary did not receive reasonably
equivalent value or fair consideration for its guarantee unless it benefited
directly or indirectly from the exchange notes' issuance. If a court voided a
guarantee, you would no longer have a claim against the guarantor. In addition,
the court might direct you to repay any amounts already received from the
guarantor. If the court were to void any subsidiary's guarantee, we cannot
assure you that funds would be available to pay the exchange notes from another
subsidiary guarantor or from any other source.

The test for determining solvency for purposes of the foregoing will depend
on the law of the jurisdiction being applied. In general, a court would consider
an entity insolvent either if the sum of its existing debts exceeded the fair
value of all of its property, or if the present fair saleable value of its
assets is less than the amount required to pay the probable liability on its
existing debts as they become due. For this analysis, "debts" includes
contingent and unliquidated debts.

The indenture states that the liability of each subsidiary on its guarantee
is limited to the maximum amount that the subsidiary can incur without risk that
the guarantee will be subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer. We cannot
assure you that this limitation will protect the guarantees from fraudulent

transfer attack or, if it does, that the guarantees will be in amounts
sufficient, if necessary, to pay the exchange notes when due.

THE GUARANTEES MAY BE TERMINATED, AND THE LIENS SECURING THE EXCHANGE NOTES MAY
BE RELEASED, WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE NOTE HOLDERS.

If a guarantor subsidiary ceases to be a subsidiary guarantor of any of our
obligations, that guarantor subsidiary will be automatically and unconditionally
released from all of its obligations under the indenture and its guarantee of
the exchange notes, and that guarantee will terminate. Likewise, if the lien
securing our obligations under our credit facility, or any successor or
replacement thereof, on the capital stock of any subsidiary is released, the
corresponding lien securing our obligations under the exchange notes will be
automatically released. Because our current or future lenders may terminate the
guarantees under the new credit facility or our other obligations or release the
liens under the credit facility or any successor or replacement thereof, we
cannot assure you that the exchange notes will continue to be guaranteed or
secured as they will be upon issuance or at all.

THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRADING MARKET FOR THE EXCHANGE NOTES, WHICH COULD LIMIT
THEIR MARKET PRICE OR THE ABILITY TO SELL THEM FOR AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO OR HIGHER
THAN THEIR INITIAL OFFERING PRICE.

There is currently no public market for the exchange notes. An active
public market will likely never develop for the exchange notes and we will not
apply to list the notes on any exchange or Nasdaq. As a result, you may be
required to bear the financial risk of your investment in the exchange notes
indefinitely. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the
market price and liquidity of the exchange notes may be adversely affected.

Any exchange notes traded after they are initially issued may trade at a
discount from their initial offering price. The trading price of the exchange
notes depends on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities
and other factors, including economic conditions and our financial condition,
performance and prospects.

IF YOU DO NOT EXCHANGE YOUR OUTSTANDING NOTES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY IN
TRANSFERRING THEM AT A LATER TIME.

We will issue exchange notes in exchange for the outstanding notes after
the exchange agent receives your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal
and all related documents. You should allow adequate time for delivery if you
choose to tender your outstanding notes for exchange. Outstanding notes that are
not exchanged will remain subject to restrictions on transfer and will not have
any rights to registration.

If you do participate in the exchange offer for the purpose of
participating in the distribution of the exchange notes, you must comply with
the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for
any resale transaction. Each broker-dealer who holds outstanding notes for its
own account due to market-making or other trading activities and who receives
exchange notes for its own account must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. If any
outstanding notes are not tendered in the exchange or are tendered but not
accepted, the trading market for such outstanding notes could be negatively
affected due to the limited amount expected to remain outstanding following the
completion of the exchange offer.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange
notes. Because we are exchanging the exchange notes for the outstanding notes,
which have substantially identical terms, the issuance of the exchange notes
will not result in any increase in our indebtedness.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our consolidated cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities and capitalization as of September 8, 2001 on a historical
basis and on a pro forma basis. The pro forma presentation gives effect to the
sale of the outstanding notes and the use of the proceeds, along with borrowings
under the new credit facility and proceeds from the accounts receivable
securitization, which is off balance sheet, to acquire Arnold, as if the
acquisition had occurred on September 8, 2001. The pro forma presentation also
gives effect to our sale of ARLO, and the application of net after-tax proceeds,
which are estimated to be $75.0 million, therefrom to prepay a portion of the
borrowings under the new credit facility, as if the disposition had occurred on
September 8, 2001.

(1) EBIT is defined as income before income tax expense and interest expense.

(2) EBITDA is defined as income before income tax expense, interest expense,
depreciation expense and amortization of costs in excess of net tangible
assets acquired and other intangible assets. Historically, we have had no
debt and therefore, there are no deferred loan origination fees to be
amortized. While EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for
operating income or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flows from
operating activities, which are determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, it is included in this prospectus to provide
additional information with respect to our ability to meet our future debt
service, capital expenditure and working capital requirements. EBITDA is
also included because management believes that certain investors find it to
be a useful tool for measuring the ability to service debt.

(3) Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is calculated by dividing the sum of
income before income tax expense and fixed charges by fixed charges. Fixed
charges comprise interest expense and interest expense included in rental
payments.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA

The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements
and explanatory notes have been prepared to give effect to our acquisition of
Arnold and the consummation of the transactions related thereto. At the time of
the closing of the acquisition of Arnold, a wholly owned acquisition subsidiary
of Roadway was merged with and into Arnold for aggregate cash consideration of
approximately $553.0 million. The transaction is being accounted for as a
purchase business combination.

In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act,
an unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of September 8, 2001
and unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of income for the
thirty-six weeks (three quarters) ended September 8, 2001 and the year ended
December 31, 2000, have been prepared to reflect our acquisition of Arnold and
the consummation of the transactions related thereto. The following unaudited
pro forma financial statements have been prepared based upon the historical
financial statements of Roadway and Arnold. We operate on 13 four-week
accounting periods with 12 weeks in each of the first three quarters and 16
weeks in the fourth quarter. Arnold operates on a calendar basis. Additionally,
the pro forma financial statements reflect certain balance sheet and statement
of income reclassifications made to conform Arnold's presentations to our
presentations. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with:

- our historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2000, and our unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements as of September 8, 2001 and for the thirty-six week
period (three quarters) ended September 8, 2001, and

- the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Arnold for
the year ended December 31, 2000, and the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2001 and for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2001.

The pro forma balance sheet was prepared by combining our historical
unaudited consolidated balance sheet data as of September 8, 2001 and the
historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet data as of September 30, 2001
for Arnold, adjusted to reflect the use of proceeds from the outstanding notes,
the borrowings under our new credit facility, the proceeds from the accounts
receivable securitization and the sale of ARLO. Shortly after the acquisition of
Arnold, we sold substantially all of ARLO's assets for $105.0 million in cash.
The data has also been adjusted to reflect the application of net after-tax
proceeds, which are estimated to be $75.0 million, to prepay a portion of the
borrowings under the new credit facility. Historically, ARLO was reported as a
segment of Arnold, with 2000 and nine month 2001 revenues of approximately $47.8
million and $42.8 million, respectively. The pro forma balance sheet reflects
the historical unaudited financial position of Roadway and Arnold, adjusted to
present the acquisition of Arnold and consummation of these related transactions
as if each had occurred at September 8, 2001.

The pro forma statements of income were prepared using the historical
consolidated statements of income data for both us and Arnold assuming the
acquisition and related transactions had each occurred on January 1, 2000. The
pro forma statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was prepared
by combining the historical audited consolidated statements of income data of us
and the historical audited consolidated statements of income data of Arnold for
the year ended December 31, 2000. The pro forma statement of income for the
thirty-six week period (three quarters) ended September 8, 2001 was prepared by
combining the historical unaudited consolidated statement of income data of us
for the thirty-six week period (three quarters) ended September 8, 2001 and the
historical unaudited consolidated statement of income data of Arnold for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2001. The pro forma statements of income
give effect to the cost associated with financing the acquisition, including
interest expense and amortization of deferred loan origination fees.

The pro forma financial statements are prepared for illustrative purposes
only, and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial
position that would have occurred if the acquisition and sale transaction
described above had been consummated at the beginning of the periods or the
dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of any future operating
results or financial position. The pro forma

financial statements do not include any adjustments related to any restructuring
charges, profit improvements, potential costs savings or one-time charges which
may result from the acquisition of Arnold, the sale of ARLO or the result of
final valuations of supplies, carrier operating property, other equipment and
fixtures, investments in limited partnerships, intangible assets and employee
benefit obligations. Roadway and Arnold continue to operate independently under
their respective brand names and each company's management team and headquarters
location remain the same. Therefore, we expect no integration costs. The pro
forma financial statements include an adjustment related to our sale of ARLO. If
the final sales proceeds are different than that assumed in the pro forma
financial statements, "costs in excess of net tangible assets acquired and other
intangible assets," long term debt, interest expense and tax expense would
change.

Upon closing of the acquisition, we began a process to determine the fair
value at the date of acquisition of the tangible and intangible assets acquired
and liabilities assumed of Arnold. We expect that the process of determining the
fair value of most assets and liabilities will be substantially completed by
March 31, 2002, subject to the finalization of any contingencies which are
identified which may require future adjustment to arrive at a final purchase
price allocation. As a result of this process, we anticipate that a portion of
the amount initially classified as "costs in excess of net tangible assets
acquired and other intangible assets" in the pro forma financial statements,
which in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142
will not be amortized, will be reclassified to the tangible and identified
intangible assets acquired, based on their estimated fair values at the date of
acquisition. These tangible and identified intangible assets will be depreciated
and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets
acquired will be classified as goodwill, which will not be amortized. As a
result, the actual amount of depreciation and amortization expense may be
materially different from that presented in the pro forma statements of income.
Costs associated with implementing profit improvement programs initiated
subsequent to the consummation of the acquisition will be charged to our
earnings.

The acquisition had not been consummated as of the preparation of these pro
forma financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1) The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not give effect to any
potential cost savings or other profit improvements that could result from
the acquisition. Roadway has undertaken a study to determine the
allocation of the total purchase price to the various tangible and
intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. These pro forma
financial statements reflect a preliminary allocation of purchase price
which is subject to change based on the finalization of the fair value of
the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of
the acquisition date. The preliminary estimated fair value of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed in the acquisition are as follows:

<Table>
<Caption>
TOTAL ARLO NET
------ ------ ------
(DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

Tangible assets acquired at fair value............... $376.3 $(53.7) $322.6
Costs in excess of the net tangible assets of the
acquired business.................................. 277.1 (25.4) 251.7
Acquisition costs.................................... (13.5) -- (13.5)
Liabilities assumed.................................. (87.0) 4.1 (82.9)
------ ------ ------
Total purchase price................................. $552.9 $(75.0) $477.9
====== ====== ======
</Table>

These pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the
acquisition been consummated at the dates indicated, nor necessarily
indicative of future operating results.

(2) Reflects excess cash available at Roadway used in connection with
financing the acquisition.

(3) Reflects direct transaction related expenses of $4.2 million and loan
origination costs of $9.3 million which are accrued but unpaid in the pro
forma balance sheet.

(4) Represents the gross proceeds from the sale of ARLO.

(5) Represents the application of net after-tax proceeds, which are estimated
to be $75.0 million, from our sale of ARLO to prepay a portion of the
borrowings under the new credit facility.

(6) Reflects the sale of accounts receivable of $100.0 million in connection
with the receivables financing used to finance, in part, the acquisition
of Arnold.

(7) Represents elimination of historical accumulated depreciation due to the
application of purchase accounting.

(8) Represents the preliminary net adjustment to carrier operating property,
buildings and other equipment and fixtures based on estimated fair values
as required by purchase accounting.

(9) Reflects the preliminary estimated adjustment for the costs in excess of
the net tangible assets of the acquired business at estimated fair value.
Roadway has undertaken a study to determine the allocation of the total
purchase price to the various assets acquired and liabilities assumed in
order to allocate the total purchase price to the various intangible
assets, if any, acquired. Management believes, on a preliminary basis,
there may be intangible assets which will be evaluated. Any excess not
attributable to tangible and intangible assets will be reflected as costs
in excess of net tangible assets acquired and other intangible assets. The
sensitivity of the valuations regarding the above can be significant.
Accordingly, Roadway intends to continue to evaluate the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed and, as a result, the allocation of the purchase
price among the tangible and intangible assets is subject to change.

(10) Represents the elimination of the historical goodwill from Arnold.

(11) Represents the accrual of certain direct transaction expenses associated
with completing the acquisition and deferred financing costs related to
the financing associated with the acquisition, including banking, legal,
accounting and other.

(12) Reflects certain balance sheet and statement of income reclassifications
made to conform Arnold's presentation to Roadway's presentation.

(13) Represents the accrual on Arnold's opening balance sheet of certain direct
transaction expenses associated with completing the acquisition and
related transactions, including banking, legal, accounting and other.

(14) Represents the accrual of currently payable income taxes associated with
the taxable gain on the sale of ARLO.

(15) Represents deferred tax liabilities associated with the step-up in the
basis of carrier operating property, buildings, other equipment and
fixtures based on estimated fair values as required by purchase
accounting.

(16) Represents the issuance of $225.0 million of the outstanding notes and
$175.0 million of term loan borrowings under the new credit facility, used
to finance the acquisition of Arnold.

(17) Adjustment to remove Arnold's historical amortization of costs in excess
of net tangible assets acquired and other intangible assets.

(18) Adjustment to record incremental depreciation expense on the step-up of
Arnold's property and equipment.

(19) Adjustment to record additional interest expense on the new Roadway
financing arrangements.

(20) Adjustment to record amortization of deferred financing costs related to
the new Roadway financing arrangements.

(21) Adjustment to reflect the facility fee on the Roadway revolving line of
credit.

(22) Adjustment to reverse direct transaction costs recorded by Arnold related
to the acquisition including legal, accounting and other.

(23) Adjustment to record the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments
assuming a combined pro forma effective income tax rate of 41%.

(24) The operating ratio is defined as the ratio of total operating expenses
for a period to total revenues for that period.

(25) EBITDA is defined as income before income tax expense, interest expense,
depreciation expense, amortization of costs in excess of net tangible
assets acquired and other intangible assets and amortization of deferred
loan origination fees. While EBITDA should not be considered a substitute
for operating income or a better indicator of liquidity than cash flows
from operating activities, which are determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, it is included in this
prospectus to provide additional information with respect to our ability
to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital
requirements. EBITDA is also included because management believes that
some investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring the ability to
service debt.

(26) This adjustment relates to the sale of ARLO. The balance sheet at
September 30, 2001 for Arnold was calculated as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussions together with the financial
statements, including the related notes, the other financial information in this
prospectus, and the risks described in the "Risk Factors" section.

OVERVIEW

Effective May 30, 2001, Roadway Express, Inc. reorganized its corporate
structure by forming a holding company. The name of the new holding company is
Roadway Corporation, and as with Roadway Express, it is a Delaware corporation.
In connection with the reorganization, holders of common stock of Roadway
Express became holders of an identical number of shares of common stock of
Roadway Corporation, and Roadway Express became a wholly owned direct subsidiary
of Roadway Corporation. The reorganization was effected by a merger pursuant to
Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides for the
formation of a holding company structure without a vote of the stockholders of
the company. As a result of the reorganization, all the business and operations
previously conducted by Roadway Express are now conducted by Roadway Corporation
and its subsidiaries. The assets and liabilities of Roadway Corporation and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis are the same as the assets and liabilities
of Roadway Express immediately before the merger. The certificate of
incorporation and the bylaws of Roadway Corporation are identical to the
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Roadway Express as in effect
immediately prior to the reorganization. The capital stock of Roadway
Corporation has the same designations, rights, and preferences as the capital
stock of Roadway Express prior to the reorganization. In addition, the persons
who were directors and executive officers of Roadway Express immediately prior
to the merger were the directors and executive officers of Roadway Corporation
immediately after the merger. The common stock of Roadway Corporation is listed
for trading on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "ROAD," as was the
common stock of Roadway Express. Certificates formerly representing shares of
common stock of Roadway Express are deemed to represent shares of common stock
of Roadway Corporation.

We provide less-than-truckload, or LTL, general commodity freight services
on routes, also known as lanes, in North America, and on international lanes to
and from North America. General commodity freight includes apparel, appliances,
automotive parts, chemicals, food, furniture, glass, machinery, metal and metal
products, non-bulk petroleum products, rubber, textiles, wood and miscellaneous
manufactured products. We provide seamless LTL general commodity freight service
between all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and provide export
services to 66 additional countries. We are one of the largest LTL motor
carriers in the United States, serving over 165,000 individual customers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 8, 2001 AND SEPTEMBER 9, 2000

We had net income of $17.2 million or $0.91 per share (diluted), for the
three quarters ended September 8, 2001, compared to net income of $31.1 million,
or $1.64 per share (diluted), for the same period last year, a decrease of
44.8%. A one-time, non-operating charge incurred in the first quarter of 2001
reduced net income by $3.5 million, or $0.18 per share (diluted). This one-time
charge against net income resulted from an adverse jury verdict, which we have
appealed. Revenues were $1,924.0 million in the current quarters, a 7.6%
decrease from the same period last year.

We delivered 5.2 million tons of freight in the first three quarters of
2001, down 12% compared to the prior period. LTL tons were down 12% and TL tons
were down 13%. The tonnage decline is primarily attributable to the national
economic slowdown. Net revenue per ton was $371.73, up 5.3% compared to the same
period last year. The industry's pricing environment continues to remain firm,
which mitigates some of the impact of the reduced tonnage. The improvement in
revenue per ton was primarily due to the general rate increase in the fourth
quarter of 2000, and adjustments in contract rates. The variable rate fuel
surcharge averaged 3.0% of revenue in the current year quarters compared to 2.7%
in the prior-year

period. Total operating expenses were down $141 million, but increased 6.1% on a
per-ton basis with the decline in tonnage. The operating ratio deteriorated to
98.2% of revenue, compared to 97.5% in the same period last year.

Salaries, wages and benefits increased to 63.9% of revenue, up from 62.7%
in the third quarter year-to-date of 2000 due to increases in the cost of health
care, pension benefits and driver wages. Reductions in variable pay related to
performance and workers compensation costs offset part of this increase. Due to
the reduced business levels, our work force has been reduced by 8% through
layoffs and hiring restrictions when compared to year-to-date 2000.

Operating supplies and expenses were down 11%, reflecting reduced business
levels. Purchased transportation expenses declined 10%, primarily due to a 19%
reduction of railroad miles in linehaul service.

Improved cargo handling performance, improvements in highway safety and the
reduction in tonnage led to the 17% decline in claims and insurance expense. The
decrease in operating taxes reflects lower fuel taxes associated with the
decline in business levels.

Depreciation expense increased $11 million and reflects recent capital
expenditures, primarily for revenue equipment and information technology.

The tax rate for the third quarter year-to-date 2001 differs from the
federal statutory rate due to the impact of state taxes, taxes on foreign
operations and non-deductible operating expenses.

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31,
1998

We had net income of $56.5 million or $2.98 per share (diluted) for the
year ended December 31, 2000, compared to net income of $45.8 million, or $2.39
per share (diluted) in 1999 and income of $26.0 million, or $1.31 per share
(diluted) in 1998. Revenue increased 8.0% to $3.0 billion in 2000 and 6.0% to
$2.8 billion in 1999. Operating expenses rose 7.6% in 2000 and 4.8% in 1999,
leading to the improvement in the operating ratio to 96.8%, down from 97.3% in
1999 and down from 98.3% in 1998. We delivered 8.4 million tons of freight in
2000, which is flat compared to 1999 and up 3.0% over 1998.

Underlying freight rates improved due to the general rate increases
effective in January and September of 1999, and September 2000, and contractual
rate modifications throughout the year. Net revenue per ton was $359.90 in 2000,
up 8.0% compared to 1999 and up 10.9% compared to 1998. A variable rate fuel
surcharge, which we assess when the national average price of diesel fuel
exceeds $1.10 per gallon, was reinstated in July of 1999 and was in effect
throughout 2000. It resulted in effective rate increases of 2.7% in 2000 and
0.4% in 1999.

Operating expenses increased $207 million in 2000 over 1999, or 7.5% per
ton, while increasing $126 million or 1.8% per ton from 1998 to 1999.

Salaries, wages and benefits were 62.2% of revenue in 2000, down from 63.8%
in 1999 and 65.0% in 1998, while the dollars of expense increased $96 million in
2000 over 1999, and $68 million in 1999 over 1998.

The primary component of this dollar increase in 2000 was the 3.2% increase
in wages and benefits on April 1, 2000, under our labor contract. Linehaul
driver wages increased 5.2%, reflecting the wage increase coupled with an
increase in driver miles. Pickup and delivery wages increased 3.2%. Dock wages
were up 4.3% due to the wage increase and additional LTL tonnage, which requires
more dock handling than truckload freight. Workers' compensation costs rose by
$8.7 million, or 20%, due to increased dock hours, driver miles and injury
severity. Health, welfare and pension expenses for all employees increased $18.1
million. The benefit costs were favorably impacted by the investment performance
of our company-sponsored non-union pension fund, which resulted in a credit to
pension expense of $3.3 million for the year. Indirect wage expenses increased
$11.6 million, or 8.4%. Two thirds of this increase relates to performance-based
variable pay that is directly linked to improved profits.

In 1999, salary, wage and benefit cost increases in key direct labor areas
were generally less than the corresponding growth in revenue. Linehaul driver
wages increased 2.4%. Pickup and delivery wages were up 3.1%. Dock wages
increased only 1.5%, reflecting improved productivity driven by the changing
freight mix. Indirect wage and benefit costs increased 16% over 1998. This
increase resulted primarily from performance-based compensation, which was 2.1%
of total salaries, wages, and benefits for the year compared to 1.0% in 1998.
Another component, amounting to a $6.0 million increase, was the impact of plan
amendments to our defined benefit pension plan late in 1998.

Operating supplies and expenses for 2000 were 16.3% above 1999, while 1999
was down slightly from 1998. Fuel costs in 2000 increased $41 million, as our
average fuel prices increased 67% over 1999. This dramatic rise in fuel prices
was offset by the fuel surcharge discussed above. Equipment lease and rental
expenses increased by $10.4 million, or 25% over 1999. This is primarily due to
our use of leases for linehaul tractor and trailer replacement. Terminal
operating supply and service costs rose $15.4 million, or 13.1%. These increases
relate to facility maintenance and security, communications, cargo packing
supplies and other miscellaneous items.

Purchased transportation expense increased $18.5 million during 2000,
compared to 1999 and by $47.6 million compared to 1998. The increase in 2000 was
primarily due to growth in our Canadian and Mexican operations which utilize
third-party providers in linehaul service. The costs of purchased transportation
services that we utilize, such as railroads, owner-operators and purchased P&D
service were also impacted by fuel price hikes. During 1999, rail costs
increased by $26.6 million over 1998, reflecting the increased use of railroads
in certain linehaul operations during the year. For 2000, the portion of
linehaul miles run on the railroads decreased slightly to 27.9% from 28.9% in
1999 and were 26.6% in 1998.

Operating taxes and licenses increased $2.2 million due to increased
vehicle licenses and fuel taxes in 2000 and by $1.5 million in 1998.

An increase of $1.7 million in insurance and claims expense in 2000 over
1999 reflects the impact of accident severity on public liability claims. In
1999 we experienced an increase of $8.8 million in insurance and claims expense,
principally due to costs associated with public liability claims related to
increased business levels and severity of claim losses, despite record highway
safety performances. Highway safety performance in 1999 exceeded the 1998
record-breaking results.

Depreciation expense increased primarily due to additional capital
expenditures for revenue equipment, data processing equipment and software. The
loss on the sale in 2000 of operating property arose from the disposal of old
linehaul tractors that were replaced with leased units.

The operating income of $96.4 million or 3.2% of revenue compares to an
operating income of $77.2 million or 2.7% of revenue in 1999 and operating
income of $44.1 million or 1.7% of revenue in 1998.

Our tax rate in 2000 differs from the federal statutory rate due to
non-deductible operating expenses, state income taxes and the impact of foreign
operations. The effective tax rate was 42.5% in 2000, compared to 42.6% in 1999
and 42.7% in 1998.

The impact of inflation on operating expenses has been moderate in recent
years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At the end of the third quarter 2001, cash and marketable securities
amounted to $82 million, an $18 million increase from year-end 2000. This
increase was due to a reduction of capital expenditures during the current year,
and an increase in cash flow from operations. Capital expenditures for the year
are expected to be $75 million, which has been reduced from second quarter
expectations of $80 million, and the original expectations of $90 million. The
capital expenditures are designated for revenue equipment, facilities and
information systems. We had a $60 million line of credit available at September
8, 2001.

Cash flow from operations and current and proposed financing sources will be
sufficient to meet existing working capital needs. As of September 30, 2001, we
had no long-term debt.

On November 30, 2001, we acquired Arnold for aggregate cash consideration
of approximately $553.0 million. We financed the acquisition with proceeds from
the offering of the outstanding notes, together with borrowings under a new
credit facility and proceeds from the accounts receivable securitization. The
new credit facility and accounts receivable securitization replaced our current
financing sources, other than the $10.0 million credit facility under which our
Canadian subsidiary, Reimer Express Lines Ltd., is the borrower, and will
provide for future working capital needs.

On November 30, 2001, following our acquisition of Arnold, we sold ARLO to
members of its management team for $105.0 million in cash. We applied the
estimated net after-tax proceeds of $75 million from the sale to prepay a
portion of the borrowings under the new credit facility. As of December 13,
2001, we had $325.0 million of outstanding indebtedness.

OTHER MATTERS

We continue to focus on existing and new cost control efforts, including
operational changes to reduce transportation costs and maintain high service
standards with technological enhancements that allow improved load planning and
scheduling, more effective use of road and rail capacity and equipment
enhancements such as deck trailers that allow greater cubic utilization. We are
making significant investments in our system infrastructure for new hubs and
service centers in several locations, the most significant of which are the Los
Angeles basin, the New York City metropolitan area and the Pacific Northwest.
Other cost control initiatives include continued emphasis on safety improvement,
particularly with our Prevention Improvement Process, or PIP, program, cargo
claims reductions and aggressive administrative cost controls tied to process
improvements and goal awareness. PIP is a comprehensive effort at each of our
over 400 facilities to mobilize the entire workforce to reduce injuries and
accidents, and improve safety. System-wide employee education in the
fundamentals of the business, including the financial impacts of individual job
responsibilities, has increased employee engagement and awareness of their
investment in the business. This education and engagement process is a long term
endeavor expected to yield significant benefits for our employees, customers and
stakeholders.

Under the terms of our contract with our principal union, the Teamsters,
which extends through March 31, 2003, wage and benefit increases approximating
2.6% became effective April 1, 2001.

On August 20, 2001, Roadway Express implemented a general freight rate
increase of approximately 5.85%, consistent with pricing actions in the
industry. We continue to take actions to increase operating margins and yield on
freight, such as working with specific customers to improve efficiencies and
reduce handling or process-related costs. Pricing adjustments are negotiated
with contract customers throughout the year under terms of the agreements.

On May 30, 2001, we announced our participation as a minority shareholder
of Integres Global Logistics, Inc. Integres is an integrated airfreight service
provider. Roadway Express will serve as Integres' primary North American ground
carrier. Other Integres partners include: United Airlines, American Airlines,
Unisys, G-Log, and UTi Worldwide. Integres is slated for a fourth quarter 2001
launch.

We receive notices from the EPA from time to time identifying us as a
potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act for various Superfund sites. Based on our
investigations, we believe that our obligation with regard to these sites is not
significant, although there can be no assurances in this regard.

We do not hold any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
Our primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, currency
exchange rates and fuel prices.

We have interest rate swap agreements with major commercial banks to fix
the interest rate of our trailer leases from previous variable interest rates.
The value of the leases upon which the payments are based was not changed. The
agreements, which expire from 2002 to 2004, fix our interest costs at rates

varying from 6.07% to 7.12% on leases valued at $27.5 million at September 8,
2001, and prevent our earnings from being directly affected by changes in
interest rates related to our trailer leases.

We may incur some economic losses due to adverse changes in foreign
currency exchange rates, primarily with fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and
Mexican peso. A 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates would have
no material impact on our future cash flows and earnings.

Fuel price increases are mitigated by a variable rate fuel surcharge when
the national average diesel fuel price exceeds $1.10 per gallon. This surcharge
has been in place at varying rates since the third quarter of 1999.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective January
1, 2001. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 133 was not material to our earnings,
financial position or cash flows.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
Business Combinations, which is effective for business combinations completed
subsequent to June 30, 2001. This standard eliminates the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting for business combinations and requires the purchase method.
SFAS No. 141 also clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets
separately from goodwill.

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which is effective for
us January 1, 2002, eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets. This statement also requires an initial goodwill impairment
assessment in the year of adoption and annual impairment tests thereafter. As of
September 8, 2001, we had net unamortized goodwill of $15.2 million and
amortization expense on an annual basis of approximately $1.0 million.

The acquisition of Arnold is being accounted for as a purchase business
combination and we have undertaken a process to determine the fair value at the
acquisition date of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities
assumed of Arnold. As a result of this process, we anticipate a portion of the
amount initially classified as costs in excess of net tangible assets acquired
and other intangible assets in the pro forma financial statements, will be
reclassified to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, based
on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

ARNOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.

The following discussion was extracted from the Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations prepared by Arnold and
included in reports it files with the Commission. This discussion reflects
Arnold's historical operating results and financial condition, and includes the
results of ARLO, which we sold on November 30, 2001. Arnold's historical results
are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be achieved in the
future.

OVERVIEW

Arnold's trucking and warehousing business activities are currently
conducted by two operating subsidiaries, New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and Arnold
Transportation Services, Inc., a non-operating, investment management
subsidiary, MARIS, Inc., and an operating unit known as Arnold Logistics or
ARLO.

New Penn transports commodities by motor vehicle on a next-day ground LTL
basis, operating primarily in interstate commerce in New England and the Middle
Atlantic states. The southeastern United Sates, Indiana, Ohio, and Quebec and
Ontario, Canada, are serviced through correspondent arrangements with other
high-service carriers in each area. Some areas in Canada, including Montreal,
are now serviced directly by New Penn. Puerto Rico is serviced by correspondent
land service in conjunction with

correspondent ocean service. Commodities transported include paper products,
food products, textiles, building products, metal products, pharmaceuticals,
office equipment and supplies and wearing apparel.

ATS operates both as a regional and interregional carrier within the
irregular route and dedicated truckload, or TL, industry.

ARLO serves the distribution, order fulfillment, direct mail and printing,
call center management, reverse logistics and contract packaging needs of its
customers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND 2000

GENERAL

Operating Revenues on a consolidated basis for the third quarter of 2001
were $110,681,130, a decrease of $4,628,063 or 4% over Operating Revenues for
2000's third quarter. For the same period, Operating Expenses increased
$1,244,997, or 1%; Income Before Income Taxes decreased $6,926,399, a decrease
of 44%; and Net Income decreased $4,344,362, or 44%. Earnings Per Share-Basic
for the third quarter of 2001 decreased as compared to the third quarter of 2000
from $.40 per share to $.22 per share, a decrease of 45%. Basic earnings per
share for the third quarter of 2001 were $.25 before special pre-tax charges of
$1,124,797 related to the acquisition of Arnold by Roadway. Operating Income on
a consolidated basis decreased during the third quarter of 2001 relative to the
comparable period of 2000. Operating Income decreased by $5,873,060 from
$15,825,315 to $9,952,255, a decrease of 37%.

Arnold's combined Operating Revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 2001, were $335,789,117, a decrease of $11,692,682, or 3% over the
comparable nine-month period in 2000. For the same period, Operating Expenses
increased $1,900,407, or 1%. Operating Income decreased during the nine-month
period, from $48,091,300 in 2000 to $34,498,211 in 2001, or a 28% decrease.
Income Before Income Taxes decreased by $13,785,916, a decrease of 29%; and Net
Income also decreased by $8,490,755, a decrease of 29%. Earnings Per Share-Basic
decreased by $.35 a share from $1.21 for the first nine months of 2000 to $.86
for the first nine months of 2001. Basic earnings per share for the first nine
months of 2001 were $.89 before special pre-tax charges of $1,285,796 related to
the acquisition by Roadway.

On August 22, 2001, in a joint press statement with Roadway, Arnold
announced that its Board of Directors had authorized execution of a definitive
merger agreement with Roadway, subject, nevertheless, to the approval of
Arnold's shareholders. The net effect of the merger, if approved by
shareholders, is that all issued and outstanding shares of Arnold will be
exchanged for $21.75 per share in cash and Arnold Industries, Inc. will merge
with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Roadway. A special meeting of
Arnold's shareholders is scheduled for November 20, 2001. It is anticipated that
the merger would be consummated on or about November 30, 2001, in the event of
shareholder approval. In addition, on October 17, 2001, Roadway announced that
it entered into an agreement with E. H. Arnold, Chief Executive Officer of
Arnold Industries, Inc., for the sale of Arnold's logistics operations to E. H.
Arnold and Arnold Logistics, Inc., for $105 million in cash. The transaction is
subject to regulatory approval and the completion of Roadway's acquisition of
Arnold.

The merger of Arnold with and into a subsidiary of Roadway, and the
subsequent sale of ARLO by Roadway, means that Arnold will cease to be
independently owned by its current group of shareholders. As the sole
shareholder of Arnold, Roadway has publicly stated that it intends to operate
New Penn and ATS independently under their own brand names and that each
company's management team and headquarters location will remain the same.
Accordingly, although current management can speak to the past and present with
respect to Arnold's operations, any analysis of future trends and prospects must
necessarily be viewed in light of the pending transaction and the inevitable
changes that a merger would entail. In the event that a merger is not
consummated for whatever reason, then current management's discussion and
analysis of future trends would again be relevant to investment decisions in
Arnold.

Management believes that the results of Arnold's operations during the
third quarter of 2001 reflect the softening of the U.S. economy as a whole, as
well as certain impediments to transportation resulting from the events of
September 11. The softening of the U.S. economy is well documented in recent
weeks and is evidenced by a marked decline in the manufacture, shipment and sale
of goods. All three segments of Arnold's operations, LTL, TL and
fulfillment/logistics, were impacted by the decline. The declines in revenues
experienced at both New Penn, Arnold's less-than-truckload carrier, and at ATS,
Arnold's truckload carrier, appear to be in line with the declines experienced
across the trucking industry. Management does not believe that market share has
been lost in the current downturn, but does believe that the overall market has
contracted due to current economic conditions. When and how that market will
expand again is beyond management's ability to predict.

NEW PENN MOTOR EXPRESS, INC.

New Penn experienced an 11% decline in revenues over the revenues generated
during the third quarter of 2000. Operating Income decreased 41% over the
comparable period of 2000, as the operating ratio deteriorated from 79.4 to
86.3.

A comparison of results for the first nine months of 2001 against the first
nine months of 2000 reflects that New Penn experienced an 8% decline in
Operating Revenues; Expenses decreased by 2% over the comparable period of 2000;
and Operating Income declined by 33% over the prior period.

Although the results were not up to the level that management has come to
expect from New Penn, New Penn's third quarter operations were as good as could
be expected under the circumstances. With fewer goods being produced and
shipped, overall tonnage at New Penn was down by 15%. At the same time, many
costs are at fixed levels and are not easily reduced. Terminal capacity is one
such cost. Employee expense, while remaining high, has been controlled through
attrition without the need for major lay-offs. Management is making every effort
to control costs, while at the same time spending the time and energy necessary
to make the company more efficient in today's competitive environment.

In addition to the softening of the U.S. economy generally, New Penn faced
the added difficulty of making pick-ups and deliveries in and around New York
City after the events of September 11. Traffic disruptions resulting from bridge
and tunnel closures, as well as heightened security checks, have increased the
costs of operations in the New York City metropolitan area, a prime market for
New Penn comprising roughly 10% of its business. Management anticipates that
bridge and tunnel closures will be discontinued in coming months, and that
security checks, while continuing, will become more efficient and less time-
consuming in the future. Accordingly, although carrier service in the New York
City area is unlikely to return to the ease of operation enjoyed before
September 11, management does not believe that the changes will materially
affect the on-going business prospects of New Penn.

Total shipments, tonnage and miles logged on all shipments completed by New
Penn during the third quarter of 2001 in comparison to the third quarter of 2000
are as follows:

ARNOLD TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, INC.

ATS experienced a 3% decline in Operating Revenues and Operating Income
decreased 49% during the third quarter of 2001 over the third quarter of 2000.

ATS experienced a 5% decline in Operating Revenues during the first nine
months of 2001 over the revenues generated during the first nine months of 2000;
Expenses declined by 3% over the comparable period of 2000; and Operating Income
declined 35% over the prior period.
33

As a truckload carrier, ATS enjoys a somewhat more stable shipping
environment than a typical LTL carrier is likely to enjoy, due to fixed
contracts and standardized delivery schedules. Nevertheless, ATS did experience
a decline in tonnage during the third quarter of 2001, reflecting a general
decline in output and sales at major national manufacturers and retailers.

Total shipments and miles logged on shipments completed by ATS during the
third quarter of 2001 in comparison to the third quarter of 2000 are as follows:

ARLO

ARLO, a division of ATS that conducts a fulfillment and logistics business,
increased revenues 31% beyond the revenue gains of the prior year's third
quarter. Operating income increased 8% compared to the third quarter of 2000.
Margins deteriorated, however, as the quarter included substantial start-up
costs for new fulfillment projects. The acquisition of National Corporate
Marketing, or NCM, of Irving, TX, completed on October 2, 2000, favorably
impacted third quarter comparisons. NCM provides fulfillment, distribution,
direct mail and printing services. ARLO's management continues to focus on
consolidating new fulfillment business generated over the last year.

A comparison of results for the first nine months of 2001 against the first
nine months of 2000 reflects that ARLO experienced a 27% increase in Operating
Revenue; Expenses increased by 29% over the comparable period of 2000; and
Operating Income increased by 11% over the prior period.

WORKING CAPITAL; PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Arnold's working capital at the end of the third quarter of 2001 was
$78,655,925. This represents an increase of $6,632,097 or 9% from the working
capital at the end of the previous quarter in 2001. The increase in working
capital reflects Arnold's continuing revenue and income streams while at the
same time winding down and/or completing capital expansion and acquisition
projects initiated in prior years, particularly at ATS and ARLO. ATS
significantly updated its fleet in recent years and has sufficient capacity with
its current fleet to meet anticipated demand. ARLO completed its Lancaster, PA,
warehouse project in the second and third quarters of 2000, and currently is not
building additional warehouse space.

Arnold's investment in Property and Equipment (Less Accumulated
Depreciation) as of the end of the third quarter of 2001 stood at $232,591,031.
This figure represents a decrease from June 30, 2001 of $4,689,314, or 2%,
reflecting depreciation and asset sales. Funding for future acquisitions of
Property and Equipment will likely be accomplished through the use of cash
generated from current operating and investment activities, supplemented, when
necessary, by short or long-term financing. Management continues to seek
opportunities for profitable expansion of Arnold.

Cash provided by Operating Activities decreased by $9,294,883 from
$56,830,679 in 2000 to $47,535,796 in 2001 principally related to the decline in
net income offset by a reduction in accounts receivable. Cash Used in Investing
Activities increased to $30,983,184 in 2001 related primarily to purchases of
investments and investment in property, plant, and equipment. Cash used in
Financing Activities decreased $11,210,246 principally related to a decrease in
short-term debt payments.

On October 30, 2001, Arnold announced its quarterly cash dividend of $.11
per share, payable November 29, 2001, to stockholders of record on November 15,
2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND DECEMBER 31, 1998

Arnold's 2000 operating revenues are from two operating subsidiaries:

New Penn Motor Express, Inc.
Arnold Transportation Services, Inc.

New Penn is a LTL transportation company. ATS is a TL carrier which

The revenue at New Penn increased 9% for the year 2000 compared to 1999.
This compares to an increase of 6% for the year 1999 compared to 1998. Tonnage
increased 4% for 2000 to 1,117,026 compared to 1,075,455 for 1999 and 1,050,685
for 1998. ATS revenues increased for 2000 and 1999 by 2% each year compared to
an increase of 12% in 1998. In August 1999, New Penn instituted a fuel surcharge
to offset

rising fuel costs. This fuel surcharge continued through the year 2000. ATS also
instituted a fuel surcharge in 1999 to partially offset higher fuel costs. This
fuel surcharge was in effect through the year 2000.

ARLO's revenue increased by 29% for 2000 compared to an increase of 26% for
1999 and 12% for the year 1998 due to growth with new and existing customers and
the acquisition of National Corporate Marketing, or NCM.

The following tables set forth the percentage of operating expenses to
operating revenue for New Penn, ATS and ARLO.

New Penn's operating expenses were 79.1% of revenue in 2000 compared to
79.2% for 1999 and 78.8% for 1998. Salaries, wages and related expenses
decreased to 58.3% for 2000 from 58.6% for 1999 and 58.2% for 1998. Supplies and
expenses increased to 9.8% for 2000 compared to 8.6% and 8.7% for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase for the year 2000 was due to substantially increased
fuel costs. Insurance costs decreased to 1.3% for 2000 compared to 1.8% for 1999
and 1.5% for 1998. In July 1999, Arnold changed the majority of its deductibles
to $25,000 per claim from $1 million. This change together with constant
evaluation of safety and an in-house insurance department has improved insurance
costs. Miscellaneous expenses remained constant at .4% for 2000 and 1999
compared to 1.1% for 1998.

Total operating expenses of ATS decreased slightly to 96.0% for 2000
compared to 96.7% for 1999. This compared to 95.8% for the year 1998.

The salaries, wages and related expenses of ATS decreased to 28.8% in 2000
compared to 31.1% in 1999 and 33.3% in 1998. The reduction in 2000 was due to
better utilization of equipment and the increased use of owner-operators.
Supplies and expenses increased to 17.9% for 2000 compared to 16.0% in

1999 and 18.9% in 1998. Higher fuel prices beginning in the latter part of 1999
and 2000 substantially affected the operating results and offset better
utilization of equipment. The expense for 1999 was lower compared to 1998 due to
increased use of owner-operators. Purchased transportation for 2000 of 31.4%
compared favorably with 31.5% for 1999. The increase from 1998 of 25.7% was the
result of increased use of owner-operators.

ARLO operating expenses were 85.5% of revenue for 2000 compared to 85.2%
for 1999. Operating expenses in 1998 were 81.3%, which were lower than 2000 and
1999 due to revenue growth in the areas of order fulfillment and contract
packaging which are more labor intensive. As a result, salaries, wages and
related expenses have been increasing each year to 56.4% for 2000 compared to
54.6% and 52.3% for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Other operating expenses
decreased in 2000 to 20.3% compared to 21.3% in 1999. These two years compare to
17.2% in 1998. The increase in 1999 was the result of an increased use of
operating supplies. Depreciation and amortization increased from 7.4% in 1999 to
8.3% in 2000 due to the new warehouse in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the
depreciable assets associated with the acquisition of NCM. Miscellaneous
expenses have declined from 4.3% in 1998 to 1.9% in 1999 and .5% in 2000 due to
a reduction in the expenses being classified as miscellaneous.

Arnold's operating income for 2000 increased $7.6 million or 14% from 1999
compared to a decrease of $.4 million or .6% in 1999 compared to 1998. New
Penn's operating income increased $4.5 million compared to 1999. The operating
income for 1999 increased $1.7 million compared to 1998. In July 1999, a major
competitor of New Penn went out of business which had a positive effect on New
Penn's revenues for 1999 and for the year 2000.

Operating income of ATS for 2000 increased to $7.2 million, or 22% compared
to $5.9 million in 1999. This compares to a decrease of 17% for 1999 from 1998.
Changes in the relationship with a key agent, poor equipment utilization and the
continuing shortage of qualified drivers had a negative impact on operating
income in 1999.

ARLO's operating income for 2000 increased 25% to $6.9 million compared to
$5.5 million for both 1999 and 1998. Startup costs for both 2000 and 1999 with
new e-commerce and fulfillment services customers negatively impacted operating
income.

Other net non-operating expenses consist primarily of interest income,
other investment income and interest expense. Interest income increased $.9
million for 2000 over 1999 due to increased cash and investment securities
compared to a decrease of $.4 million for 1999 over 1998 primarily due to a
reduction in cash and investment securities. Interest expense for 2000 was $1.6
million compared to $1.4 million and $1.2 million for 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase for 2000 and 1999 was due to increasing borrowing
rates during the two years.

The effective income tax rates for 2000, 1999 and 1998 were 37.3%, 36.8%
and 37.1%, respectively.

Net income for 2000 increased to $39.5 million compared to $34.7 million
for 1999, an increase of 14%. This compared to a decrease of 1% for 1999 over
1998. Basic net income per share in 2000 was $1.61 per share compared to $1.40
per share in 1999, an increase of 15%. This compared to $1.37 per share or a 2%
increase in 1999 over 1998. Diluted net income per share was $1.59 in 2000
compared to $1.39 in 1999 and $1.36 in 1998.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

In 1998, Arnold purchased 182,400 shares of its outstanding common stock,
the remaining balance of a million-share buy-back authorized in 1997, together
with an additional 1,000,000 shares for a total cost of $15.0 million. On
December 28, 1998, Arnold authorized an additional share buy-back of one million
shares. During 1999, Arnold acquired 263,300 shares at a total cost of $3.2
million and 105,000 shares in 2000 at a total cost of $1.4 million.

The total capital expenditures for real estate and equipment (net of
dispositions) amounted to $18.5 million for 2000, compared to $56.3 million for
1999 and $45.6 million for 1998. Arnold is projecting the purchase of real
estate and equipment in 2001 at approximately $32 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $37 million at
the end of 2000, compared to $18 million and $24 million at December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively. The increase was due to the substantial reduction in
capital expenditures for the year 2000. Working capital increased to $67 million
at December 31, 2000, compared to $26 million and $35 million at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Net cash provided by operating activities increased
to $76 million for the year 2000 compared to $54 million and $61 million for
1999 and 1998 respectively. The substantial increase in cash during the year
enabled the company to completely eliminate all bank debt as of December 31,
2000.

Arnold's current cash position, together with funds invested in marketable
securities and cash flow generated from future operations, are expected to be
sufficient to finance anticipated capital expenditures. These funds may be
supplemented when necessary or desirable by short or long-term borrowing.

INFLATION

During 2000 and 1999, Arnold believes, with the exception of higher fuel
prices, that inflation had a minimal effect on operating results. However, most
of Arnold's expenses are subject to inflation, which would result in increased
costs in the event inflation began to increase.

SEASONALITY

In the trucking industry, results of operations show a seasonal pattern
because of customers' reduced shipments in the winter months. In addition,
operating expenses are usually higher during the winter months.

CURRENT TRENDS

In September 2000, New Penn announced a general rate increase of
approximately 5.9%. However, most customer rates are subject to negotiated
contracts and agreements.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2000, New Penn began to see the effects
of a slowing economy, which has continued into the first quarter of 2001. The
revenues at ATS were down in the fourth quarter of 2000 as a result of reducing
the interregional operation and a slowing economy. ATS is focusing on increasing
its more profitable regional operations and reducing expenses.

ARLO acquired a company in the Dallas, Texas area in October 2000 as a base
to grow substantially in the Southwestern USA market.

The three operating companies continue to invest in information technology
to reduce operating costs and provide better service to their customers.

MARKET RISK

The nature of Arnold's operations subject it to changing economic,
competitive, regulatory and technological conditions, risks, and uncertainties.
In accordance with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Arnold provides the following cautionary remarks
regarding important factors which, among others, could cause future results to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements about our management
confidence and strategies for performance; expectations for new and existing
technologies and opportunities; and expectations for market segment and industry
growth.

These factors include, but are not limited to:

- changes in the business environment in which Arnold operates, including
licensing restrictions, interest rates and capital costs,

- changes in governmental laws and regulations, including taxes,

- market and competitive changes, including market demand and acceptance
for new services and technologies, and

- other risk factors listed from time to time in Arnold's Commission
reports.

BUSINESS

GENERAL

We provide seamless LTL general commodity freight services between all 50
states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and provide export services to 66
additional countries. We are one of the largest LTL motor carriers in the United
States and have the leading market share in long-haul LTL service, serving over
165,000 individual customers.

Our primary operating subsidiary, Roadway Express, is a certified ISO 9002
carrier, and transports general commodity freight in two-day and beyond service.
General commodity freight includes apparel, appliances, automotive parts,
chemicals, food, furniture, glass, machinery, metal and metal products, non-
bulk petroleum products, rubber, textiles, wood and miscellaneous manufactured
products. We are affected by the state of the overall economy, but during 2000,
no single segment of the economy (e.g., general retail merchandise, automotive,
chemical) accounted for more than 18% of our total revenue, no single customer
accounted for more than 5% of our revenue, and our ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 16% of our revenue. Seasonal fluctuations affect
tonnage, revenues and operating results. Normally, the fall of each year is our
busiest shipping period. The months of December and January of each year are the
slowest. Shipment levels, operating costs and operating results can also be
adversely affected by inclement weather.

On January 2, 1996, we were spun-off from Roadway Services, Inc. under the
name Roadway Express, Inc. Effective May 30, 2001, Roadway Express reorganized
its corporate structure into a holding company structure, consisting of a
holding company, Roadway Corporation, and operating subsidiaries, including our
primary operating subsidiary, Roadway Express.

THE ACQUISITION

On November 30, 2001, we acquired Arnold Industries, Inc. for cash
consideration of an aggregate of approximately $553 million. We used the
proceeds from the offering of the outstanding notes, together with borrowings
under our new credit facility and proceeds from an accounts receivable
securitization, to finance the acquisition. Arnold is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of Roadway.

ARNOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.

Arnold's trucking and warehousing business activities are currently
conducted by two operating subsidiaries, New Penn and ATS, and a non-operating,
investment management subsidiary, Maris, Inc.

New Penn transports commodities by motor vehicle on a regional next-day
ground LTL basis, operating primarily in interstate commerce in New England and
the Middle Atlantic states. The southeastern United States, Indiana, Ohio and
Quebec and Ontario, Canada, are serviced through correspondent arrangements with
other high-service carriers in each area. Some areas in Canada, including
Montreal, are now serviced directly by New Penn. Puerto Rico is serviced by
correspondent land service in conjunction with correspondent ocean service.
Commodities transported include paper products, food products, textiles,
building products, metal products, pharmaceuticals, office equipment and
supplies and

wearing apparel. We believe that for the 2000 fiscal year, New Penn was the most
profitable publicly reporting LTL carrier in the industry.

ATS operates both as a regional and interregional carrier within the
irregular route and dedicated truckload industry. ATS's main operating location
for its trucking operation is in Jacksonville, Florida. It also conducts
operations from customers' locations in Ohio and New York.

OUR INDUSTRY

The trucking industry handled approximately 79% of general freight volume,
or 3,437.6 million tons in 1998. While airfreight and intermodal services are
expected to be the fastest growing modes of transportation over the next few
years, we believe that trucking will continue to dominate the market. Rail,
while generally less expensive, continues to be used mainly for bulk freight and
for longer-hauls.

The trucking industry operates under two main divisions: truckload and
less-than truckload. TL carriers dedicate full trucks to one customer and make
deliveries of goods from start to finish. LTL carriers take partial loads from
multiple customers on a single truck and then route the goods through a series
of terminals where freight is transferred to other trucks with similar
destinations.

The LTL industry is composed of the following three segments:

- the REGIONAL segment, which ships on lanes shorter than 500 miles and is
primarily served by next-day ground and, to a lesser extent, two-day
service;

- the INTER-REGIONAL segment, which ships on lanes between 500 and 1,200
miles and is primarily served by two- and three-day service; and

- the LONG-HAUL segment, which ships on lanes generally over 1,200 miles
and is served primarily by three-day and beyond service.

The participants in the regional segment include a large number of non-union
regional and niche carriers as well as several unionized regional carriers. The
participants in the inter-regional segment are large regional carriers and
national unionized carriers. The long haul segment is served primarily by the
national unionized carriers. The LTL industry has been consolidating over the
last few years resulting in tightening capacity and increasing freight rates.

OUR COMPETITION

The trucking business is extremely competitive, resulting in narrow
margins. Due to Arnold's participation in a different segment of the trucking
market, we do not compete with Arnold for business. We compete for LTL freight
with other national and international LTL carriers as well as regional LTL motor
carriers, truckload carriers, small package carriers, private carriage, freight
forwarders, railroads and airlines. New Penn competes in the regional LTL market
with other motor common carriers, motor contract carriers, private
transportation and railroads. ATS's customers in the TL carriage market place
their proposed contracts out for bid, and ATS generally competes for the
business with at least one or two other qualified carriers. Once contracts are
secured, the contracts generally have a one or two year duration, after which
time they may again be opened to bidding.

Competition for freight is based primarily upon price and transit time, as
well as consistency and dependability of service. To maintain and improve market
share, Roadway offers and negotiates various discounts, and works directly with
customers on an account-by-account basis to find ways to improve efficiencies
and contain costs to improve both customer and carrier profitability.
Deregulation of most of

the trucking industry, begun in 1980 and largely completed by Congress in 1995,
has given rise to intense competition.

OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY

OUR EMPLOYEES

At September 8, 2001, we had over 26,000 employees. At September 30, 2001,
New Penn had approximately 2,200 employees and ATS had approximately 1,100
employees. Approximately 75% of our employees are represented by various labor
unions, primarily the Teamsters, as are most of New Penn's hourly employees. The
current National Master Freight Agreement with the Teamsters, which applies to
our employees and New Penn's, expires on March 31, 2003. The majority of our
competitors in the national LTL industry are subject to the same agreement with
the Teamsters. We believe that our current relations with the Teamsters are
satisfactory and New Penn anticipates stable labor relations with its unionized
employees during the next two years. None of ATS's employees are organized into
a collective bargaining unit or are otherwise unionized.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The U.S. Department of Transportation, which retains limited oversight
authority over motor carriers, currently regulates our and ATS's operations in
interstate commerce. We are each subject to safety requirements governing
interstate operations prescribed by the DOT. In addition, vehicle dimensions and
driver hours of service remain subject to both federal and state regulation. We
have earned a "satisfactory" rating, which is the highest of three grading
categories, from the DOT.

Federal legislation prohibits the states from enacting or enforcing a law,
regulation or other provision related to a price, route or service of any motor
carrier in interstate commerce. Changes in rates and charges may be effected
without regulatory approval.

PROPERTIES

At September 8, 2001, we owned approximately 8,750 tractors and
approximately 23,500 trailers. We also operated approximately 1,750 tractors and
approximately 11,000 trailers under long term leases. The average age of our
intercity fleet was seven years for tractors and six years for trailers. We use
short-term leased equipment to meet peak demands. These tractors and trailers
operate through approximately 375 terminal facilities, of which approximately
250 were owned and approximately 125 were leased at September 8, 2001, generally
for terms of three years or less. The number of loading spaces, which is a
measure of our freight handling capacity, totaled approximately 14,300, of which
approximately 12,000 were at our owned facilities and approximately 2,300 were
at our leased facilities. Approximately thirty of the owned facilities are major
consolidation/distribution centers that are in strategic locations throughout
the continental United States. These 30 facilities contain approximately 5,515
loading spaces, ranging in size from approximately 71 to 426 loading spaces, and
average approximately 89,000 square feet, ranging

from 31,000 to 220,000 square feet. All significant leased and owned facilities
were being used as of September 8, 2001, and are adequate to meet current needs.

At September 30, 2001, New Penn maintained general commodities terminal
facilities in 24 cities situated in eight states and a province of Canada. At
September 30, 2001, terminals in 18 of these cities were owned by Arnold or its
subsidiaries and terminals in six of these cities were leased from unrelated
parties. The leases, which include one verbal lease, expire from time to time
over the next several years. Management believes the leases will be renewed or
replaced by other leases in the normal course of business. New Penn also
operates through a correspondent located in Cantano, Puerto Rico.

At September 30, 2001, ATS operated terminals and/or drop lots in 13 cities
situated in eight states. At September 30, 2001, eight of these facilities were
owned and five were leased from unrelated parties. Management believes the
leases will be renewed or replaced in the ordinary course of business. At
September 30, 2001, ATS also leased warehouse or storage space in five cities.
ATS assigned or sublet each of these leases to ARLO in connection with its sale.
We expect ATS to continue to sublet each of the leases to ARLO either until the
end of the respective sublease's term or until ATS obtains a release from the
respective landlord of its obligations under the leases. Upon receipt of any
release, we expect to assign the respective lease to ARLO.

We own our main headquarters offices of approximately 273,000 square feet,
situated on approximately 38.5 acres of which approximately 14.5 are owned, and
24 leased under a long-term contract expiring in 2009, but renewable to 2084. We
lease approximately 94,000 square feet of the office space for some headquarters
department functions at other locations.

Arnold and New Penn own their shared executive and general offices. ATS
owns its principal offices and two regional carrier locations.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We have various legal proceedings arising from the normal conduct of
business pending but, in the opinion of our management, the ultimate disposition
of these matters will have no material effect on our financial condition or
results or operations. Arnold is not involved in any pending legal proceeding
other than various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. In the
opinion of its management, the outcome of these matters will not have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

We have received notices from the Environmental Protection Agency that we
have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act at some hazardous waste
sites. These designations are made regardless of our limited involvement at each
site. The claims for remediation have been asserted against numerous other
entities that are believed to be financially solvent and are expected to fulfill
their proportionate share. We accrue for losses associated with the
environmental remediation obligations when the losses are probable and
reasonably estimable. Based on our investigations, we believe that our
obligation with regard to these sites is not significant, although there can be
no assurances in this regard.

Our former parent, Roadway Services, is currently under examination by the
IRS for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to our spin-off from Roadway
Services. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for
multiemployer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not
the validity of these deductions. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome
of this matters; however, our former parent intends to vigorously contest these
proposed adjustments.

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by us and Roadway Services at
the time of our spin-off, we are obligated to reimburse Roadway Services for any
additional taxes and interest that relate to our business prior to the spin-off.
The amount and timing of payments, if any, is dependent on the ultimate
resolution of Roadway Services' disputes with the IRS and the determination of
the nature and extent of the obligations under the tax sharing agreement. We
have established reserves with respect to these proposed adjustments.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

NEW SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

At September 8, 2001, we had $60.0 million available for borrowing through
unsecured credit facilities with various banks. In connection with our
acquisition of Arnold, we replaced our existing facilities, other than the $10.0
million credit facility under which Reimer Express Lines is the borrower, with a
new $325.0 million senior credit facility. The following is a summary of the
principal terms of the new credit facility.

Revolving Facility. The credit facility includes a five-year, $150.0
million senior revolving credit facility with a $100.0 million sublimit for
letters of credit. Pricing under the revolving credit facility is at a
fluctuating rate based on the alternate base rate as determined by Credit Suisse
First Boston, New York Branch or LIBOR, plus an additional margin of 0.50% and
1.50%, respectively. In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee of
0.40% on undrawn amounts. The margin and commitment fee may readjust after the
last day of the second full fiscal quarter following November 30, 2001,
depending on the institutional ratings of our long-term debt. As of January 1,
2002, there were no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but
availability had been reduced by $56.4 million as a result of the issuance of
letters of credit.

Term Loan Facility. The credit facility also includes a five-year, $175.0
million senior term loan facility, which was drawn at closing of the acquisition
of Arnold to partially fund our acquisition of Arnold. Pricing under the term
loan is at a fluctuating rate based on the alternate base rate as determined by
Credit Suisse First Boston, New York Branch or LIBOR, plus an additional margin
of 0.50% and 1.50%, respectively. The margin may readjust after the last day of
the second full fiscal quarter following November 30, 2001, depending on the
institutional ratings of our long-term debt. As of January 1, 2002, we had
outstanding borrowings of $100.0 million under the term loan facility accruing
interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%. We are required to make quarterly
amortization payments beginning January 1, 2002 on the remaining term loan
ranging from $2.5 million in 2002 to $7.5 million in 2006.

Security and Guarantees. The revolving credit facility and the term loan
are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on all of the capital stock of
our direct subsidiaries. However, we are not required to pledge as security more
than 65% of the equity interests or the property and assets of our direct
non-U.S. subsidiaries in the event that a pledge of a greater percentage would
result in material increased tax or similar liabilities for us on a consolidated
basis.

The credit facilities are also supported by guarantees provided by all of
our current material subsidiaries and all future material subsidiaries, provided
that our non-U.S. subsidiaries will only be required to deliver guarantees to
the extent it would not result in material increased tax or similar liabilities
to us and our subsidiaries.

Mandatory Prepayments. We are required to prepay our credit facility
borrowings under any of the following conditions.

- We were required to use 100% of the net after-tax proceeds from the sale
of ARLO to prepay our loans outstanding under our credit facility.

- We are required to use 50% of the net proceeds from the sale of assets
with a net book value of more than $50 million to prepay our loans
outstanding under our credit facility; however, at any time our long-term
unsecured debt obligations are rated lower than Baa3 by Moody's Investors
Service or BBB- by Standard & Poor's, we are required to use 100% of the
net proceeds from all asset sales, subject to certain exceptions, to
prepay our loans outstanding under our credit facility.

- At any time our long-term unsecured debt obligations are rated lower than
Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service or BBB- by Standard & Poor's we are
required to use 100% of the net proceeds from condemnations and the like
and net proceeds from loss or casualty (subject to a customary
reinvestment period) to prepay our loans outstanding under our credit
facility.

- We are required to use 100% of the net proceeds from the sale or issuance
of debt securities, other than the exchange notes, to the extent those
proceeds do not constitute indebtedness incurred and/or assumed in
connection with permitted acquisitions and other permitted indebtedness
to prepay our loans outstanding under our credit facility.

- At any time our long-term unsecured debt obligations are rated lower than
Baa3 by Moody's or BBB- by Standard & Poor's, we are required to use 50%
of the net proceeds from the issuance of equity securities to prepay our
loans outstanding under our credit facility.

- We are required to use 50% of our excess cash flow for any fiscal year to
prepay our loans outstanding under our credit facility, commencing with
the 2002 fiscal year, in any year in which our long-term unsecured debt
obligations are rated lower than Baa3 by Moody's or BBB- by Standard &
Poor's at the end of such fiscal year.

Financial Covenants. The credit facilities contain financial covenants,
which are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis, requiring us to
maintain a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a
minimum tangible net worth.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION

Also in connection with our acquisition of Arnold, we have entered into
arrangements to finance up to $200.0 million of our U.S. trade accounts
receivable. In connection with these arrangements, Roadway Express will sell all
of its trade receivables to Roadway Funding, Inc., a bankruptcy-remote, special
purpose subsidiary. As a result, these receivables will be beyond the reach of
our stockholders and creditors, including the holders of the exchange notes and
the outstanding notes. Roadway Funding will finance its acquisition of these
receivables through the asset-backed commercial paper market. We will continue
servicing the receivables.

We will treat these arrangements as sales for accounting purposes and
borrowings for tax purposes. The receivables will be replaced as assets on our
balance sheet by both the cash received and the value of our equity interest in
the receivables pool, no liabilities will be reflected, and we may report gains
to the extent such cash and equity value exceeds our basis in the receivables.
The cash advance rates to be received by us and investor yields payable under
the arrangement will be LIBOR plus 0.75%.

REIMER EXPRESS LINES FACILITY

At September 8, 2001, Reimer Express Lines Ltd., a Canadian subsidiary of
Roadway Express, had $10.0 million available for borrowing under a secured
revolving line of credit and bankers' acceptances. The line of credit and
bankers' acceptances bears interest, at Reimer Express Lines' option, at the
bank's prime lending rate or U.S. dollar base rate in Canada, or LIBOR plus
1.50% per annum for periods up to 180 days. The line of credit is payable on
demand.

Security and Guarantees. The line of credit is secured by all of the
receivables that are currently due to or that may become due in the future to
Reimer Express Lines or 3319415 Manitoba Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Reimer Express Lines. The line of credit is also secured by all present and
future personal property of these parties, including shares of stock and
intangible personal property, and the proceeds therefrom. 3319415 Manitoba has
also fully and unconditionally guaranteed the line of credit.

Financial Covenants. The line of credit contains financial covenants that
require Reimer Express Lines to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated current
assets to consolidated current liabilities and a minimum ratio of consolidated
debt to total consolidated tangible net worth. The line of credit also requires
Reimer Express Lines to maintain a minimum ratio of operating loans and bankers'
acceptances to its "borrowing base," which is linked to the amount of good
quality Canadian trade accounts payable of Reimer Express Lines and 3319415
Manitoba.

Neither Reimer Express Lines nor 3319415 Manitoba issued a guarantee or
pledged any of its securities in connection with the offering of the original
notes.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

On November 30, 2001, we sold $225.0 million in principal amount at
maturity of the outstanding notes in a private placement through initial
purchasers to a limited number of "qualified institutional buyers," as defined
in the Securities Act, and to a limited number of persons outside the United
States. In connection with the sale of the outstanding notes, we and the initial
purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of November
30, 2001. Under that agreement, we must, among other things, file with the
Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the
exchange offer and use our best efforts to cause that registration statement to
become effective under the Securities Act. Upon effectiveness of that
registration statement, we must also offer each holder of the outstanding notes
the opportunity to exchange its securities for an equal principal amount at
maturity of exchange notes. You are a holder with respect to the exchange offer
if you are a person in whose name any outstanding notes are registered on our
books or any other person who has obtained a properly completed assignment of
outstanding notes from the registered holder.

We are making the exchange offer to comply with our obligations under the
registration rights agreement. A copy of the registration rights agreement has
been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part.

In order to participate in the exchange offer, you must represent to us,
among other things, that:

- the exchange notes being acquired pursuant to the exchange offer are
being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving
the exchange notes;

- you do not have any arrangement or understanding with any person to
participate in the distribution of the outstanding notes or the exchange
notes;

- you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of
the exchange notes; and

- you are not one of our "affiliates," as defined in Rule 405 of the
Securities Act, or, if you are one of our affiliates, you will comply
with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act to the extent applicable.

The exchange offer is not being made to, nor will we accept surrenders for
exchange from, holders of outstanding notes in any jurisdiction in which the
exchange offer or the acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the
securities or blue sky laws of the particular jurisdiction.

If the holder of outstanding notes is a broker-dealer participating in the
exchange offer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange
for outstanding notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities
or other trading activities, that broker-dealer will be required to acknowledge
in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of the exchange notes and otherwise agree to comply with the
procedures described below under "-- Resale of the Exchange Notes." That
broker-dealer, however, by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, will
not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act.

RESALE OF THE EXCHANGE NOTES

Based on a previous interpretation by the staff of the Commission set forth
in no-action letters issued to third parties, including Exxon Capital Holdings
Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated
(available June 5, 1991), Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc. (available June 5, 1991),
Warnaco, Inc. (available October 11, 1991), and K-III Communications Corp.
(available May 14, 1993), we believe that the exchange notes issued in the
exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by
you, except if you are an affiliate of ours, without compliance with the
registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided
that the representations set forth in "-- Purpose and Effect of the Exchange
Offer" apply to you.

If you tender in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in
a distribution of the exchange notes, you cannot rely on the interpretation by
the staff of the Commission as set forth in the Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated no-action letter and other similar letters and you must comply with
the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with a secondary resale transaction. In the event that our belief
regarding resale is inaccurate, those who transfer exchange notes in violation
of the prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act and without an
exemption from registration under the federal securities laws may incur
liability under these laws. We do not assume or indemnify you against this
liability.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in
exchange for outstanding notes, where such outstanding notes were acquired by
such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of exchange notes. See "Plan of Distribution." In order to
facilitate the disposition of exchange notes by broker-dealers participating in
the exchange offer, we have agreed, subject to specific conditions, to make this
prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, available
for delivery by those broker-dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery
obligations under the Securities Act.

Any holder that is a broker-dealer participating in the exchange offer must
notify the exchange agent at the telephone number set forth in the enclosed
letter of transmittal and must comply with the procedures for brokers-dealers
participating in the exchange offer. Under the registration rights agreement, we
are not required to amend or supplement the prospectus for a period exceeding
180 days after the expiration date of the exchange offer, except in limited
circumstances where we suspend use of the registration statement. We may suspend
use of the registration statement if:

- the Commission requests amendments or supplements to the registration
statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional
information;

- the Commission issues a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose;

- we receive notice of the suspension of the qualification of the exchange
notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding
for that purpose;

- any event occurs that requires us to make changes in the registration
statement or the prospectus in order that the registration statement or
prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein (in case of the prospectus, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; or

- we determine, in good faith, that it is advisable to suspend use of the
registration statement or the prospectus for a period of time due to
pending material corporate developments or similar material events that
have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which we reasonably
believe public disclosure would be prejudicial to us.

We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person
to distribute the exchange notes to be received in the exchange offer. See "Plan
of Distribution."

TERMS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus
and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all outstanding notes
validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the day the exchange offer expires.

As of the date of this prospectus, $225.0 million in principal amount at
maturity of the notes are outstanding. This prospectus, together with the letter
of transmittal, is being sent to all registered holders of the outstanding notes
on this date. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered
holders of the outstanding notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.
However, holders of the outstanding notes must tender their certificates
therefor or cause their outstanding notes to be tendered by book-entry transfer
prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer to participate.
48

The form and terms of the exchange notes will be the same as the form and
terms of the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be
registered under the Securities Act and therefore will not bear legends
restricting their transfer. Following consummation of the exchange offer, all
rights under the registration rights agreement accorded to holders of
outstanding notes, including the right to receive additional incremental
interest on the outstanding notes, to the extent and in the circumstances
specified in the registration rights agreement, will terminate.

We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions
of the registration rights agreement and applicable federal securities laws.
Outstanding notes that are not tendered for exchange under the exchange offer
will remain outstanding and will be entitled to the rights under the related
indenture. Any outstanding notes not tendered for exchange will not retain any
rights under the registration rights agreement and will remain subject to
transfer restrictions. See "-- Consequences of Failure to Exchange."

We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered outstanding notes when,
as and if we will have given oral or written notice of their acceptance to the
exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders
for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us. If any tendered
outstanding notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender,
the occurrence of other events set forth in this prospectus, or otherwise,
certificates for any unaccepted outstanding notes will be returned, or, in the
case of outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer, those unaccepted
outstanding notes will be credited to an account maintained with The Depository
Trust Company, without expense to the tendering holder of those outstanding
notes, as promptly as practicable after the expiration date of the exchange
offer. See "-- Procedures for Tendering."

Those who tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer will not be
required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in
the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange pursuant
to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than
applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. See
"-- Fees and Expenses."

EXPIRATION DATE; EXTENSIONS; AMENDMENTS

The expiration date is 5:00 p.m., New York City time on February 13, 2002,
unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the
expiration date will be the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is
extended. We may, in our sole discretion, extend the expiration date of, or
terminate, the exchange offer.

To extend the exchange offer, we must notify the exchange agent by oral or
written notice prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day
after the previously scheduled expiration date and make a public announcement of
the extension.

We reserve the right:

- to delay accepting any outstanding notes, to extend the exchange offer or
to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth below
under "-- Conditions" are not satisfied by giving oral or written notice
of the delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; or

- to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner consistent with
the registration rights agreement.

Any delay in acceptances, extension, termination or amendment will be
followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice of the delay to
the registered holders of the outstanding notes. If we amend the exchange offer
in a manner that constitutes a material change, we will promptly disclose the
amendment by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the
registered holders of the outstanding notes, and we will extend the exchange
offer for a period of five to ten business days, depending upon the significance
of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders of the
outstanding notes, if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during the five
to ten business day period.

Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public
announcement of any delay, extension, amendment or termination of the exchange
offer, we will have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate
that public announcement, other than by making a timely release to an
appropriate news agency.

Upon satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions to the exchange offer, we
will accept, promptly after the expiration date of the exchange offer, all
outstanding notes properly tendered and will issue the exchange notes promptly
after acceptance of the outstanding notes. See "-- Conditions" below. For
purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted properly
tendered outstanding notes for exchange when, as and if we will have given oral
or written notice of its acceptance to the exchange agent.

In all cases, issuance of the exchange notes for outstanding notes that are
accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after
timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for those outstanding notes
or a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of the outstanding notes into
the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust Company, a properly
completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, and all other required
documents; provided, however, that we reserve the absolute right to waive any
defects or irregularities in the tender of outstanding notes or in the
satisfaction of conditions of the exchange offer by holders of the outstanding
notes. If any tendered outstanding notes are not accepted for any reason set
forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, if the holder withdraws
such previously tendered outstanding notes, or if outstanding notes are
submitted for a greater principal amount of outstanding notes than the holder
desires to exchange, then the unaccepted, withdrawn or portion of non-exchanged
outstanding notes, as appropriate, will be returned as promptly as practicable
after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer, or, in the case of
outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer, those unaccepted, withdrawn
or portion of non-exchanged outstanding notes, as appropriate, will be credited
to an account maintained with The Depository Trust Company, without expense to
the tendering holder thereof.

CONDITIONS

Without regard to other terms of the exchange offer, we will not be
required to exchange any exchange notes for any outstanding notes and may
terminate the exchange offer before the acceptance of any outstanding notes for
exchange, if:

- any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by
or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer
that, in our reasonable judgment, might materially impair our ability to
proceed with the exchange offer;

- the staff of the Commission proposes, adopts or enacts any law, statute,
rule or regulation or issues any interpretation of any existing law,
statute, rule or regulation, which, in our reasonable judgment, might
materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or

- any governmental approval or approval by holders of the outstanding notes
has not been obtained, which approval we will, in our reasonable
judgment, deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer.

If we determine that any of these conditions are not satisfied, we may:

- refuse to accept any outstanding notes and return all tendered
outstanding notes to the tendering holders, or, in the case of
outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer, credit those
outstanding notes to an account maintained with The Depository Trust
Company;

- extend the exchange offer and retain all outstanding notes tendered prior
to the expiration of the exchange offer, subject, however, to the rights
of holders who tendered the outstanding notes to withdraw their tendered
outstanding notes; or

- waive unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and
accept all properly tendered outstanding notes that have not been
withdrawn. If the waiver constitutes a material change to the exchange
offer, we will promptly disclose the waiver by means of a prospectus
supplement that will
50

be distributed to the registered holders of the outstanding notes, and we
will extend the exchange offer for a period of five to ten business days,
depending upon the significance of the waiver and the manner of
disclosure to the registered holders of the outstanding notes, if the
exchange offer would otherwise expire during this period.

PROCEDURES FOR TENDERING

To tender in the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date an
original or facsimile letter of transmittal, have the signatures thereon
guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise
deliver the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent prior to the expiration
date of the exchange offer. In addition, either:

- certificates for the outstanding notes must be received by the exchange
agent, along with the letter of transmittal; or

- a timely confirmation of transfer by book-entry of those outstanding
notes, if the book-entry procedure is available, into the exchange
agent's account at The Depository Trust Company, as set forth in the
procedure for book-entry transfer described below, which the exchange
agent must receive prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer; or

- you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive the letter of
transmittal and other required documents at the address set forth below under
"-- Exchange Agent" prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

If you tender your outstanding notes and do not withdraw them prior to the
expiration date of the exchange offer, you will be deemed to have an agreement
with us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OUTSTANDING NOTES AND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT YOUR RISK. INSTEAD
OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND
DELIVERY SERVICE, PROPERLY INSURED. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO ASSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE OF
THE EXCHANGE OFFER. NO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR OUTSTANDING NOTES SHOULD BE SENT
TO ROADWAY. YOU MAY REQUEST YOUR RESPECTIVE BROKERS, DEALERS, COMMERCIAL BANKS,
TRUST COMPANIES OR NOMINEES TO EFFECT THE ABOVE TRANSACTIONS FOR YOU.

Any beneficial owner whose outstanding notes are registered in the name of
a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes
to tender its outstanding notes should contact the registered holder promptly
and instruct that registered holder to tender the outstanding notes on the
beneficial owner's behalf. If the beneficial owner wishes to tender its
outstanding notes on the owner's own behalf, that owner must, prior to
completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering its
outstanding notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of
the outstanding notes in that owner's name or obtain a properly completed
assignment from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership of
outstanding notes may take considerable time.

Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the
case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the
outstanding notes tendered pursuant thereto are tendered:

- by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special
Issuance Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter
of transmittal; or

- for the account of an eligible institution.

In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of
withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, each of the
following is deemed an eligible institution:

- a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.;

- a commercial bank;
51

- a trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States;
or

- an eligible guarantor institution as provided by Rule 17Ad-15 of the
Exchange Act.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the
registered holder of any outstanding notes, the outstanding notes must be
endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the
registered holder as his, her or its name appears on the outstanding notes.

If trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact,
officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative
capacity sign the letter of transmittal or any outstanding notes or bond power,
those persons should so indicate when signing, and unless we waive, evidence
satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the
letter of transmittal.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility,
including time of receipt, acceptance of tendered outstanding notes, and
withdrawal of tendered outstanding notes, in our sole discretion. All of these
determinations by us will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to
reject any and all outstanding notes not properly tendered or any outstanding
notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful.
We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of
tender as to particular outstanding notes. Our interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of
transmittal will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects
or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes must be cured
within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify holders of
outstanding notes of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of
outstanding notes, neither we, nor the exchange agent, or any other person will
incur any liability for failure to give this notification. Tenders of
outstanding notes will not be deemed to have been made until defects or
irregularities have been cured or waived. Any outstanding notes received by the
exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or
irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange
agent to the tendering holders of the outstanding notes, unless otherwise
provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the
expiration date of the exchange offer.

In addition, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to purchase or
make offers for any outstanding notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the
expiration date of the exchange offer or, as set forth above under
"-- Conditions," to terminate the exchange offer and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law and the terms of our agreements relating to our outstanding
indebtedness, purchase outstanding notes in the open market, in privately
negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any purchases or offers could
differ from the terms of the exchange offer.

If the holder of outstanding notes is a broker-dealer participating in the
exchange offer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange
for outstanding notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities
or other trading activities, that broker-dealer will be required to acknowledge
in the letter of transmittal that it will deliver a prospectus in connection
with any resale of the exchange notes and otherwise agree to comply with the
procedures described above under "-- Resale of the Exchange Notes." That
broker-dealer, however, by so acknowledging and delivering a prospectus, will
not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the
Securities Act.

In all cases, issuance of exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer
will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for
the outstanding notes or a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of
outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at The Depository Trust
Company, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, and all
other required documents. If any tendered outstanding notes are not accepted for
any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if
outstanding notes are submitted for a greater principal amount of outstanding
notes than the holder of outstanding notes desires to exchange, the unaccepted
or portion of non-exchanged outstanding notes will be returned as promptly as
practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer, or, in
the case of outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange
agent's account at The Depository Trust Company pursuant to the book-entry
transfer procedures described below, the unaccepted or portion of non-exchanged
outstanding notes will be credited to an

account maintained with The Depository Trust Company, without expense to the
tendering holder of outstanding notes.

BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect
to the outstanding notes at The Depository Trust Company for the purposes of the
exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and
any financial institution that is a participant in The Depository Trust
Company's systems may make book-entry delivery of outstanding notes by causing
The Depository Trust Company to transfer the outstanding notes into the exchange
agent's account at The Depository Trust Company in accordance with The
Depository Trust Company's procedures for transfer. However, although delivery
of outstanding notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at The
Depository Trust Company, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, with
any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any
case, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set
forth below under "-- Exchange Agent" prior to the expiration date of the
exchange offer, unless the holder complies with the guaranteed delivery
procedures described below.

GUARANTEED DELIVERY PROCEDURES

Holders who wish to tender their outstanding notes and (1) whose
outstanding notes are not immediately available or (2) who cannot deliver their
outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal, or any other required documents to
the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, may effect a tender if:

- the tender is made through an eligible institution;

- prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer, the exchange agent
receives from such eligible institution a properly completed and duly
executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission, mail
or hand delivery, setting forth the name and address of the holder, the
certificate number(s) of the outstanding notes and the principal amount
of outstanding notes tendered and stating that the tender is being made
thereby and guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange
trading days after the expiration date of the exchange offer, the letter
of transmittal, together with the certificate(s) representing the
outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a confirmation of
book-entry transfer, as the case may be, and any other documents required
by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the eligible
institution with the exchange agent; and

- the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed letter of
transmittal, as well as the certificate(s) representing all tendered
outstanding notes in proper form for transfer and other documents
required by the letter of transmittal within three New York Stock
Exchange trading days after the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Upon request to the exchange agent, a notice of guaranteed delivery will be
sent to holders who wish to tender their outstanding notes according to the
guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.

WITHDRAWAL OF TENDERS

Except as otherwise provided, tenders of outstanding notes may be withdrawn
at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of
the exchange offer.

To withdraw a tender of outstanding notes in the exchange offer, a written
or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange
agent at its address set forth herein prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the expiration date of the exchange offer. Any such notice of withdrawal must:

- specify the name of the person having deposited the outstanding notes to
be withdrawn;

- identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn;

- be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on
the letter of transmittal by which the outstanding notes were tendered or
be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to

have the exchange agent register the transfer of the outstanding notes in
the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and

- specify the name in which any outstanding notes are to be registered, if
different from that of the person who deposited the outstanding notes to
be withdrawn.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility of
the notices, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any
outstanding notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered
for purposes of the exchange offer, and no exchange notes will be issued with
respect to those outstanding notes unless the outstanding notes so withdrawn are
validly retendered.

Any outstanding notes that have been tendered but that are not accepted for
payment will be returned to the holder of those outstanding notes, or in the
case of outstanding notes tendered by book-entry transfer, will be credited to
an account maintained with The Depository Trust Company, without cost to the
holder as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or
termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn outstanding notes may be
retendered by following one of the procedures described above under
"-- Procedures for Tendering" at any time prior to the expiration date of the
exchange offer.

TERMINATION OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

All rights given to holders of outstanding notes under the registration
rights agreement will terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer
except with respect to our duty:

- to keep the registration statement effective until the closing of the
exchange offer; and

- to provide copies of the latest version of this prospectus to any
broker-dealer that requests copies of this prospectus for use in
connection with any resale by that broker-dealer of exchange notes
received for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange
for outstanding notes acquired for its own account as a result of
market-making or other trading activities, subject to the conditions
described above under "-- Resale of the Exchange Notes."

Questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this
prospectus or the letter of transmittal, and requests for copies of the notice

FEES AND EXPENSES

We will pay the expenses of soliciting tenders in connection with the
exchange offer. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however,
additional solicitation may be made by facsimile, telephone or in person by
officers and regular employees of ours and our affiliates.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange
offer and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting
acceptances of the exchange offer. We, however, will pay the exchange agent
reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse the exchange
agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the exchange
offer.

We estimate that our cash expenses in connection with the exchange offer
will be approximately $450,000. These expenses include registration fees, fees
and expenses of the exchange agent, accounting and legal fees, and printing
costs, among others.

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of the
outstanding notes for exchange notes. The tendering holder of outstanding notes,
however, will pay applicable taxes if certificates representing outstanding
notes not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be
issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of
outstanding notes tendered, or:

- if tendered, the certificates representing outstanding notes are
registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the
letter of transmittal; or

- if a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of
the outstanding notes in the exchange offer.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of the transfer taxes or exemption from
payment of transfer taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the
amount of the transfer taxes will be billed directly to the tendering holder and
the exchange notes need not be delivered until the transfer taxes are paid.

CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO EXCHANGE

Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary. Holders of the
outstanding notes are urged to consult their financial and tax advisors in
making their own decisions on what action to take.

Outstanding notes that are not exchanged for the exchange notes in the
exchange offer will not retain any rights under the registration rights
agreement and will remain restricted securities for purposes of the federal
securities laws. Accordingly, the outstanding notes may not be offered, sold,
pledged or otherwise transferred except:

- to us or any of our subsidiaries;

- to a "qualified institutional buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A
under the Securities Act purchasing for its own account or for the
account of a qualified institutional buyer in a transaction meeting the
requirements of Rule 144A;

- pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
provided by Rule 144 thereunder, if available;

- pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,

and, in each case, in accordance with all other applicable securities laws.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

For accounting purposes, we will recognize no gain or loss as a result of
the exchange offer. The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying
value as the outstanding notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the
date of the exchange. The expenses of the exchange offer will be amortized over
the remaining term of the exchange notes.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

In this Description of Notes, "Roadway," "issuer," "we" and "our" refer
only to Roadway Corporation, and any successor obligor on the notes, and not to
any of our subsidiaries. You can find the definitions of certain terms used in
this description under " -- Certain Definitions." As used in this Description of
Notes, the terms "note" and "notes" refer to the exchange notes.

Roadway issued the outstanding notes and will issue the notes under an
indenture among Roadway, the subsidiary guarantors and SunTrust Bank, as
trustee. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those
made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

The following is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture.
Because this is a summary, it may not contain all the information that is
important to you. You should read the indenture in its entirety. Copies of the
proposed form of the indenture are available as described under "Available
Information."

BASIC TERMS OF NOTES

The notes:

- are senior obligations of Roadway;

- rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior
obligations of Roadway and rank senior to all subordinated debt of
Roadway;

- are issued in an original aggregate principal amount of $225,000,000;

- mature on December 1, 2008; and

- bear interest commencing the date of issue of the outstanding notes at
8 1/4%, payable semiannually on each June 1 and December 1, commencing
June 1, 2002, to holders of record on the May 15 or November 15
immediately preceding the interest payment date.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

The indenture does not contain any provisions that would limit our ability
to incur indebtedness or require us to maintain financial ratios or specified
levels of net worth or liquidity, nor does it contain covenants or other
provisions designed to afford holders of the notes protection in the event of a
highly leveraged transaction, change in credit rating or other similar
occurrence. In addition, the indenture does not contain any provisions which
would require us to repurchase or redeem or otherwise modify the terms of the
notes upon a change in control or other events that may adversely affect the
creditworthiness of the notes. However, the indenture:

(1) provides that, subject to significant exceptions, neither we nor any of
our subsidiaries may subject our or their property or assets to any
mortgage or other encumbrance unless the notes are secured equally and
ratably with the other indebtedness that is secured by that property or
those assets;

(2) contains limitations on our and our subsidiaries' ability to enter into
sale and leaseback arrangements; and

(3) contains limitations on our and our subsidiaries' ability to enter into
consolidations or mergers.

See " -- Certain Covenants."

The notes will rank equally with all existing and future senior debt of
Roadway and will rank senior to all subordinated debt of Roadway. Substantially
all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Subsidiaries that
are guarantors of any of Roadway's other debt obligations will guarantee payment
of amounts due under the notes. All our material domestic subsidiaries, other
than Roadway Funding, Inc., the special purpose subsidiary newly formed for
purposes of the receivables securitization, are required to guarantee our
obligations under the Credit Agreement. These subsidiaries include Roadway
Express, Inc., Arnold Industries, Inc., New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and Arnold
Transportation Services,
56

Inc. Each of these subsidiaries initially guarantee our obligations under the
outstanding notes and will initially guarantee our obligations under the
exchange notes. In addition, non-domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee
our obligations under the Credit Agreement and the notes to the extent no
material tax liability would result from the guarantee. We do not expect any
non-domestic subsidiary to initially be a guarantor of the notes.

The notes will be effectively subordinated to all debt of Roadway secured
by assets of Roadway other than debt secured by the capital stock of our
first-tier domestic subsidiaries, including sale and leaseback transactions, to
the extent of the value of the assets securing that debt. The notes will also be
effectively subordinated to all debt of our subsidiaries secured by assets,
including sale and leaseback transactions, to the extent of the value of the
assets securing that debt. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all
debt of our non-guaranteeing subsidiaries. In the event of a default,
foreclosure or bankruptcy, such secured creditors would have priority and the
assets that serve as collateral would be available to satisfy their obligations
before any payments are made on the notes. As of September 8, 2001, the only
such debt is $5.5 million of debt of Reimer Express Lines Ltd. While the
indenture limits our ability to grant liens to secure debt, the limitations are
subject to significant exceptions. See "-- Certain Covenants -- Limitation on
Liens."

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

Under the indenture, the due and punctual payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the notes, when and as the same become due and
payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, upon declaration of acceleration
or otherwise, will be unconditionally guaranteed by each subsidiary that
guarantees any of Roadway's other debt obligations. Each of the guarantees is an
unsecured obligation of the guarantor providing such guarantee and will rank
equal in right of payment with the guarantee provided by such guarantor under
our other debt obligations, including the Credit Agreement. The indenture
requires Roadway to cause any other subsidiary that becomes a subsidiary
guarantor of any other debt of Roadway to enter into and deliver a guarantee
with respect to the notes. This requirement extends to any subsidiary that had
previously been a subsidiary guarantor with respect to the notes, and was
subsequently released as a guarantor of the notes as described below. All our
material domestic subsidiaries are required to guarantee our obligations under
the Credit Agreement. These guarantor subsidiaries will initially include, among
others, Roadway Express, Inc., Arnold Industries, Inc., New Penn Motor Express,
Inc. and Arnold Transportation Services, Inc. Each of these subsidiaries
initially guarantee our obligations under the outstanding notes and will
initially guarantee our obligations under the exchange notes.

Under the indenture, if a subsidiary guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary
guarantor of any other debt obligation of Roadway for any reason, including upon
the sale or disposition (by merger or otherwise) of any subsidiary guarantor,
such subsidiary guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released
from all of its obligations under the indenture and its guarantee of the notes,
and such guarantee will terminate. The trustee will, at Roadway's expense,
execute and deliver such instruments as Roadway or such subsidiary guarantor may
reasonably request to evidence the termination of such guarantee.

The indenture provides that the obligations of each subsidiary guarantor
are limited to the maximum amount that would cause the obligations of such
subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee not to constitute a fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law, after giving
effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such subsidiary
guarantor, including, without limitation, any guarantees under the Credit
Agreement, and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by
or on behalf of any other subsidiary guarantor in respect of the obligations of
such other subsidiary guarantor under its guarantee or pursuant to its
contribution obligations under the indenture.

SECURITY

Under the indenture and a pledge, security and intercreditor agreement made
by and among us, Credit Suisse First Boston, as collateral agent, Credit Suisse
First Boston, as administrative agent under the new credit facility and the
trustee, the notes will be secured by a lien equally and ratably with all debt
owing under the Credit Agreement. The liens granted under the pledge, security
and intercreditor

agreement will constitute first-priority perfected liens, subject to the
exceptions and permitted liens described therein, on the capital stock of our
direct subsidiaries, currently Roadway Express, Inc. and Arnold Industries, Inc.

The indenture also requires that note holders be granted a lien equally and
ratably with any other lien that may be granted to secure our or any of our
subsidiaries' obligations under the Credit Agreement.

Any or all liens for the benefit of the note holders will be automatically
released without the consent of the holders upon a release of the corresponding
lien under the Credit Agreement.

The provisions of the covenant described below under "-- Certain
Covenants -- Limitation on Liens" will continue to apply irrespective of the
release of any or all liens under the pledge, security and intercreditor
agreement.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

The notes are initially being offered in the principal amount of
$225,000,000. We may, without the consent of the holders, increase such
principal amount in the future on the same terms and conditions and with the
same CUSIP number as the notes being offered hereby.

OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

We may redeem the notes as a whole at any time or in part from time to
time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of
the principal amount of the notes or (ii) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the notes from the
redemption date to the maturity date of the notes being redeemed discounted, in
each case, to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points,
plus in either (i) or (ii), any interest accrued but not paid to the date of
redemption.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for the notes,
(i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the
immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical
release designated "H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published
weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted
to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the
maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue (if no maturity is
within three months before or after the maturity date for the notes being
redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be
interpolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest
month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published
during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields,
the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal amount,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption
date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker
on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" mean the United States Treasury security
selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to
the remaining term of the notes being redeemed that would be utilized, at the
time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the notes.

"Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by Roadway.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means with respect to any redemption date for
the notes (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such
redemption date, after excluding the

highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the
trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all such quotations.

"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Credit Suisse First Boston
Corporation and any three of the other initial purchasers of the original notes
(each, a "Primary Treasury Dealer") appointed by Roadway; provided, however,
that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer,
Roadway shall substitute in its place another Primary Treasury Dealer.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by
the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the
third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

Notice of any redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30
days but no more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes
to be redeemed. If less than all of the notes are to be redeemed, the trustee
will select the notes to be redeemed by such method as the trustee deems fair
and appropriate.

Unless Roadway defaults in its payment of the redemption price, on and
after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the notes or portions
of such notes called for redemption.

NO MANDATORY REDEMPTION OR SINKING FUND

There will be no mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments for the
notes.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

The indenture contains covenants including, among others, the following:

LIMITATION ON LIENS

Roadway will not, nor will it permit any subsidiary to, incur, issue,
assume, guarantee or create any Secured Debt without effectively providing
concurrently with the incurrence, issuance, assumption, guarantee or creation of
the Secured Debt that the notes will be secured equally and ratably with, or
prior to, such Secured Debt unless, after giving effect thereto, the sum of:

- the aggregate amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of Roadway and its
subsidiaries; plus

- all Attributable Debt in respect of sale and leaseback transactions
relating to a Principal Property, other than Attributable Debt that is
excluded pursuant to clauses (1) to (4) described under "Limitation on
Sale and Leaseback Transactions" below,

would not exceed 15% of Roadway's Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

This restriction will not apply to, and there will be excluded from Secured
Debt in any computation under this restriction, Debt secured by:

(1) Liens on property, shares of capital stock or debt of any person
existing at the time such person becomes a subsidiary; provided that
the Liens were not granted in contemplation of that person becoming a
subsidiary;

(2) Liens on property, shares of capital stock or debt existing at the time
of acquisition thereof by Roadway or any subsidiary; provided that the
Liens were not granted in contemplation of that acquisition;

(3) Liens on property, shares of capital stock or Debt to secure or provide
for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or the
cost of construction, alteration or improvement thereof; provided that

a) the amount secured does not exceed the purchase price or cost of
construction or improvement; and

b) the Lien is created at the time of, or within twelve months after
the acquisition or the completion of construction, alteration or
improvement of such property, whichever is later.

(7) Liens granted in connection with the receivables securitization by
Roadway Express or Roadway Funding, the special purpose subsidiary of
Roadway newly-formed for purposes of the receivables securitization to
secure its obligations thereunder; or

(8) any extension, renewal, refunding or replacement of the foregoing
(other than Liens described in clause (4)); provided that the amount
secured by the Lien is not increased and the Lien does not extend to
any additional property or assets.

LIMITATION ON SALE AND LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS

Roadway will not, nor will it permit any subsidiary to, enter into any
arrangement with any person providing for the leasing by Roadway or any
subsidiary of any Principal Property of Roadway or any subsidiary, which
Principal Property has been or is to be sold or transferred by Roadway or such
subsidiary to such person (a "sale and leaseback transaction") unless:

(1) Roadway or a subsidiary would be entitled to create Debt secured by a
Lien on the Principal Property to be leased, in a principal amount
equal to the Attributable Debt with respect to such sale and leaseback
transaction under the covenant described under "-- Limitation on Liens"
above, without equally and ratably securing the notes pursuant to such
covenant;

(2) (a) the property leased pursuant to such arrangement is sold for a
price at least equal to such property's fair market value, as
determined by an executive officer of Roadway, and

(b) Roadway or a subsidiary, within 360 days after the sale or
transfer shall have been made by Roadway or a subsidiary, shall
apply an amount in cash equal to the net proceeds of the sale or
transfer of the Principal Property leased pursuant to such
arrangement to:

(i) the retirement of debt of Roadway or any subsidiary that is
ranked equally with the notes, other than debt owed to Roadway
or any subsidiary; provided, however,that no retirement
referred to in this clause (i) may be effected by payment at
maturity or pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund payment
provision of debt; or

(ii) the purchase of additional Principal Property used or to be
used by Roadway or any of its subsidiaries;

(3) the sale and leaseback transaction is entered into between Roadway and
a subsidiary or between subsidiaries; or

(4) the applicable lease is for a period, including renewals, of not more
than three years.

LIMITATION ON MERGER, CONSOLIDATION AND DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Roadway shall not merge with, consolidate with or into, or sell, convey,
transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property
and assets to, any person or permit any person to merge with or into Roadway
unless:

(1) either

(a) Roadway shall be the continuing person, or

(b) (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person is organized and
validly existing under the laws of the United States of
America or any jurisdiction thereof and expressly assumes by
supplemental indenture all of the obligations of Roadway under
the indenture and the notes; and (ii) Roadway shall have
delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that
such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental
indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions
precedent provided for in the indenture relating to such
transaction have been complied with and that such supplemental
indenture constitutes the legal valid and binding obligation
of Roadway or such successor enforceable against such entity
in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions;
and

(2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default shall
have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) Roadway delivers to the trustee an officers' certificate stating that
the consolidation, merger or transfer and the supplemental indenture
(if any) comply with the indenture.

Upon the consummation of any transaction effected in accordance with these
provisions, if Roadway is not the continuing person, the resulting, surviving or
transferee person will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, Roadway under the indenture with the same effect as if
such successor person had been named as Roadway in the indenture. Upon such
substitution unless the successor is one or more of Roadway's subsidiaries,
Roadway will be released from its obligations under the indenture and the notes.

The indenture does not restrict, or require Roadway to redeem or permit
holders to cause a redemption of notes in the event of:

(1) a consolidation, merger, sale of assets or other similar transaction
that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of Roadway or its
successor or combined entity,

(2) a change in control of Roadway, or

(3) a highly leveraged transaction, whether or not involving a change in
control.

Accordingly, you will not have protection in the event of a highly
leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or similar
transaction that may adversely affect the value of the notes.

We have agreed that we will not sell or dispose of any subsidiary guarantor
whose assets exceed 10% of our consolidated total assets (determined as of the
date of our most recent interim or fiscal year-end balance sheet filed with the
Commission prior to the date of the sale or disposition) (each, a "10%
Subsidiary Guarantor") unless at least 80% of the net after-tax proceeds of such
sale or disposition will consist of any combination of:

- cash (including assumption by the acquiror of any indebtedness of us or
our subsidiaries) or readily marketable securities;

- property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type
similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets of us
and our subsidiaries existing on the date of such sale or disposition; or

- interests in companies or businesses having property or assets or engaged
in businesses similar or related to the nature or type of the property or
assets or businesses of us and our subsidiaries on the date of such sale
or disposition.

This limitation will not apply to the sale or disposition of the property
or assets of a subsidiary guarantor normally disposed of by such subsidiary
guarantor in the ordinary course of its business consistent with past practice.

In the event that the net after-tax proceeds from the sale or disposition
of a 10% Subsidiary Guarantor consist of cash or readily marketable securities,
we will apply, within 18 months of such sale or disposition, an amount equal to
100% of the fair market value, as determined in good faith by our board of
directors, of such net after-tax proceeds to:

- repay unsubordinated indebtedness of Roadway or any subsidiary guarantor,
in each case owing to a person other than an affiliate of Roadway;

- invest in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or
type similar or related to the nature or type of the property or assets
of Roadway and its subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment,
provided that if such property or assets are, following such investment,
owned directly by a subsidiary that becomes a subsidiary guarantor under
any of our other debt obligations, such subsidiary will become a
guarantor of our obligations under the notes; or

- invest in a company or business having property or assets or engaged in a
business similar or related to the nature or type of the property or
assets or businesses of Roadway and its subsidiaries on the date of such
investment, provided that if such company or business, following such
investment, becomes a subsidiary guarantor under any of our other debt
obligations, such subsidiary will become a guarantor of our obligations
under the notes.

REPORTS

Whether or not Roadway is subject to the reporting requirements of Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Roadway must provide the trustee and holders of
the notes with

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required
to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K
if Roadway were required to file such forms, including a "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and, with respect to annual information only, a report
thereon by Roadway's certified independent accountants, and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the
Commission on Form 8-K if Roadway were required to file such reports,

within the time periods specified for this information in the Commission's rules
and regulations. Upon the effectiveness of an exchange offer registration
statement or shelf registration statement, whether or not required by the
Commission, Roadway will, if the Commission will accept the filing, file a copy
of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) with
the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the
Commission's rules and regulations. In addition, Roadway will make the
information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective
investors upon request.

For so long as any of the notes remain outstanding and constitute
"restricted securities" under Rule 144, Roadway will furnish to the holders of
the notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information
required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The following will be an Event of Default under the indenture:

- failure to pay any interest on any note when due, continued for 30 days;

- failure to pay principal of (or premium, if any, on) any note when due;

- failure to perform or comply with the provisions described under
"-- Subsidiary Guarantees," to the extent they relate to the issuance of
guarantees by additional subsidiaries, and "-- Certain
Covenants -- Limitation on Merger, Consolidation and Disposition of
Assets";

- failure to perform any other covenant or warranty of Roadway in the
indenture, continued for 60 days after written notice as provided in the
indenture;

- failure to pay when due, subject to any applicable grace period, the
principal at Stated Maturity of, or acceleration prior to Stated Maturity
of, any indebtedness for money borrowed by Roadway or any subsidiary
having an aggregate principal amount outstanding of at least $10,000,000,
and such payment default shall not have been waived or such acceleration
shall not have been rescinded or such indebtedness shall not have been
discharged within 30 days following such payment default or acceleration;
and

- certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting
Roadway or any subsidiary guarantor of Roadway.

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the
trustee in case an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will
be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the
indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders, unless such holders
have offered to the trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to
such provisions for the indemnification of the trustee, the holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes will have the
right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the trustee.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the
holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes
may accelerate the maturity of all notes, provided, however, that after such
acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may, under
certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all events of
default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or
waived as provided in the indenture. For information as to waiver of defaults,
see "-Amendment, Modification and Waiver" below. In the case of an event of
default relating to a bankruptcy or insolvency of Roadway, however, acceleration
will occur automatically.

No holder of any note will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

- such holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a
continuing event of default and

- (i) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding notes have made written request, and offered
reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute such proceeding
as trustee,

(ii) the trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes a direction
inconsistent with such request, and

(iii) the trustee has failed to institute such proceeding within 60
days.

However, these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a
note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or
interest on such note on or after the respective due dates expressed in the
note.

We will be required to furnish to the trustee annually a written statement
as to our performance of some of our obligations contained in the indenture.

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND WAIVER

Modifications and amendments of the indenture may be made by Roadway, the
guarantors and the trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes, provided, however, that no
such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding note affected by such modification or amendment:

- change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of
interest on, any note;

- amend the provisions of the guarantees or the indenture relating to the
subsidiary guarantors in any way adverse to the interests of any holder,
other than to effect the release of a guarantor as described above under
"-- Subsidiary Guarantees";

- reduce the principal amount of, or the premium, if any, or interest on,
any note;

- change the place or currency of payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on, any note;

- impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on
or with respect to any note;

- reduce the above-stated percentage of the outstanding notes necessary to
modify or amend the indenture;

- reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
notes necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the
indenture or for waiver of certain defaults; or

- modify any provisions of the indenture relating to the modification and
amendment of the indenture or the waiver of past defaults or covenants,
except as otherwise specified.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
notes may waive compliance by Roadway with certain restrictive provisions of the
indenture. Subject to the preceding paragraph, the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may waive any past default
under the indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, or premium,
if any or interest.

Without the consent of any holder, we, the subsidiary guarantors and the
trustee may amend the indenture to:

- cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

- provide for the assumption by a successor of our or a subsidiary
guarantor's obligations under the indenture;

- reflect the release of any guarantor from its guarantee of the notes, or
the addition of any subsidiary as a guarantor, in the manner provided by
the indenture;

- reflect the release of any security from the notes, or the addition of
any security, in the manner provided by the indenture;

- add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders or surrender any
right or power conferred upon us or the subsidiary guarantors;

- make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder;
or

- comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the
qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE

The indenture provides that (a) if applicable, we and the guarantors will
be discharged from any and all obligations under the indenture or (b) if
applicable, we and the guarantors may omit to comply with certain restrictive
covenants, and that such omission will not be deemed to be an event of default
under

the indenture, if in either case, we make an irrevocable deposit with the
trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations that will provide
money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and
each installment of interest, if any, on the notes. With respect to clause (b),
the obligations under the indenture other than with respect to such covenants
and the events of default, other than the event of default relating to such
covenants above, will remain in full force and effect.

The trust may only be established if, among other things:

- with respect to clause (a), we have received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or there has been a
change in law, which in the opinion of counsel provides that holders of
the notes will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes
as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject
to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the
same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and
discharge had not occurred; or, with respect to clause (b), we have
delivered to the trustee such an opinion of counsel to the effect that
the holders of the notes will not recognize gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will
be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and
defeasance had not occurred;

- no event of default, or event that with the passing of time or the giving
of notice, or both, will constitute an event of default shall have
occurred and be continuing;

- Roadway has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect
that such deposit shall not cause the trustee or the trust so created to
be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940; and

- certain other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

In the event Roadway is discharged by virtue of these defeasance provisions, the
subsidiary guarantors will also be discharged.

NO PERSONAL LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, STOCKHOLDERS AND
MEMBERS

None of our or our subsidiaries' directors, officers, employees,
incorporators, members or stockholders will have any liability for any
obligations under the notes, guarantees or the indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations. Each holder of notes by
accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release
are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes and guarantees. This
waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities
laws and it is the view of the Commission that a waiver of liability under the
securities laws is against public policy.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM

The notes will be issued in registered form, without interest coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, in the form of one or
more global notes.

The trustee is not required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any note for a period of 15 days before a selection of notes to be
redeemed, (2) to register the transfer of or exchange any note so selected for
redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial
redemption or purchase, that portion of any note not being redeemed or
purchased, or (3) if a redemption is to occur after a regular record date but on
or before the corresponding interest payment date, to register the transfer or
exchange of any note on or after the regular record date and before the date of
redemption. See " -- Global Note" and " -- Certificated Notes" for a description
of additional transfer restrictions applicable to the notes.

No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of any note, but Roadway may in general require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

GLOBAL NOTE

The global notes will be deposited with a custodian for The Depository
Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC.
Beneficial interests in the global notes will be shown on records maintained by
DTC and its direct and indirect participants, including Euroclear and
Clearstream. So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner or holder of
the global notes, DTC or such nominee will be considered the sole owner or
holder of the notes represented by the global notes for all purposes under the
indenture and the notes. No owner of a beneficial interest in the global notes
will be able to transfer such interest except in accordance with DTC's
applicable procedures and the applicable procedures of its direct and indirect
participants.

Roadway will apply to DTC for acceptance of the global notes in its
book-entry settlement system. The custodian and DTC will electronically record
the principal amount of notes represented by the global notes held within DTC.
Investors may hold their beneficial interests in the global notes directly
through DTC if they are participants in DTC, or indirectly through organizations
which are participants in DTC.

Payments of principal and interest under the global notes will be made to
DTC's nominee as the registered owner of such global notes. Roadway expects that
the nominee, upon receipt of any such payment, will immediately credit DTC
participants' accounts with payments proportional to their respective beneficial
interests in the principal amount of the global notes as shown on the records of
DTC. Roadway also expects that payments by DTC participants to owners of
beneficial interests will be governed by standing instructions and customary
practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers
registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be
the responsibility of such participants, and neither Roadway, the trustee, the
custodian nor any paying agent or registrar will have any responsibility or
liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial interests in the global notes or for maintaining or reviewing any
records relating to such beneficial interests.

DTC has advised Roadway that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company created
to hold securities for its participating organizations and to facilitate the
clearance and settlement of transactions in those securities between
participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of participants.
The participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies,
clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to DTC's system is
also available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust
companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a
participant, either directly or indirectly. The ownership interest and transfer
of ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security held by or on
behalf of DTC are recorded on the records of the participants and indirect
participants.

CERTIFICATED NOTES

If (1) DTC notifies Roadway that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
depositary for the global note and a successor depositary is not appointed by
Roadway within 90 days of such notice, (2) an event of default has occurred and
the trustee has received a request from DTC, or (3) Roadway determines not to
have all of the notes represented by global notes, the trustee will exchange
each beneficial interest in the global note for one or more certificated notes
registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified
by DTC.

SAME DAY SETTLEMENT AND PAYMENT

The indenture requires that payments in respect of the notes represented by
the global notes be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
accounts specified by holders of the global notes. With respect to notes in
certificated form, Roadway will make all payments of principal, premium, if any,
and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts
specified by the holders thereof or, if no such account is specified, by mailing
a check to each holder's registered address.

The notes represented by the global notes are expected to be eligible to
trade in DTC's Same-Day Funds Settlement System, and any permitted secondary
market trading activity in the notes will, therefore, be required by DTC to be
settled in immediately available funds. We expect that secondary trading in any
certificated notes will be settled in immediately available funds.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or
Clearstream participant purchasing an interest in a global note from a
participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to
the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream participant, during the securities
settlement processing day, which must be a business day for Euroclear and
Clearstream, immediately following the settlement date of DTC. DTC has advised
Roadway that cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of
interests in a global note by or through a Euroclear or Clearstream participant
to a participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of
DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account
only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC's
settlement date.

GOVERNING LAW

The indenture and the notes shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SPECIFIC FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO U.S. AND NON-U.S. HOLDERS

This section describes the principal United States federal income tax
consequences to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (both terms as defined below)
that acquire notes in the initial offering at the offering price and hold the
notes as capital assets for United States federal income tax purposes. Not all
of the rules discussed in this section will apply to you if you are a member of
a class of holders subject to special rules, such as:

- a dealer in securities or currencies,

- a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of
accounting for your securities holdings,

- a bank,

- a life insurance company,

- a tax-exempt organization,

- a person that owns notes that are a hedge or that are hedged against
interest rate risks, or

- a person that owns notes as part of a straddle or conversion transaction
for tax purposes.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its
legislative history, existing and proposed regulations under the Internal
Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect.
These laws are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This discussion is for general information and does not address any tax
consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing
jurisdiction. Prospective U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their
tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them of acquiring, holding or
disposing of the notes.

NON-U.S. HOLDERS

As used in this offering circular, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a
beneficial owner of a note that is, for United States federal income tax
purposes:

- a nonresident alien individual,

- a foreign corporation, or

- an estate or trust that in either case is not subject to United States
federal income tax on a net income basis on income or gain from a note.

If a partnership, including any entity treated as a partnership for United
States federal income tax purposes, is a holder of a note, the United States
federal income tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership will generally
depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership.
Partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors as to the
particular United States federal income tax consequences applicable to them of
acquiring, holding or disposing of the notes.

Under United States federal income and estate tax law, and subject to the
discussion of backup withholding below, if you are a Non-U.S. Holder of a note:

- The Company generally will not be required to deduct United States
withholding tax from payments of interest (including original issue
discount, or de minimis original issue discount) to you if:

1. you do not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the total
combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote,

2. you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is directly or
indirectly related to us through stock ownership, and

3. the U.S. payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know
that you are a United States person and:

a. you have furnished to the U.S. payor an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or an acceptable substitute form upon which you
certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are a non-United
States person,

b. in the case of payments made outside the United States to you at
an offshore account (generally, an account maintained by you at
a bank or other financial institution at any location outside
the United States), you have furnished to the U.S. payor
documentation that establishes your identity and your status as
a non-United States person,

c. the U.S. payor has received a withholding certificate (furnished
on an appropriate Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or an
acceptable substitute form or statement) from a person claiming
to be a withholding foreign partnership, qualified intermediary,
securities clearing organization, bank or other financial
institution, and such person is permitted to certify under U.S.
Treasury regulations, and does certify, either that it assumes
primary withholding tax responsibility with respect to the
interest payment or has received an Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN (or acceptable substitute form) from you and from
other holders of notes on whose behalf it is receiving payment,
or

d. the U.S. payor otherwise possesses documentation upon which it
may rely to treat the payment as made to a non-United States
person in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations.

- No deduction for any United States federal withholding tax will be made
from any principal payments or from gain that you realize on the sale,
exchange or other disposition of your note. In addition, a Non-U.S.
Holder of a note will not be subject to United States federal income tax
on gain realized on the sale, exchange or other disposition of such note,
unless the gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S.
Holder of a trade or business in the United States. If you are an
individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in
the taxable year of disposition and you are not otherwise a resident of
the United States for United States federal income tax purposes, you
should consult your tax advisor regarding the United States federal
income tax consequences of a sale, exchange or other disposition of a
note.

Further, a note held by an individual who at death is not a citizen or
resident of the United States will not be includible in the individual's gross
estate for United States federal estate tax purposes if:

- the decedent did not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
entitled to vote at the time of death and

- the income on the note was not effectively connected with a United States
trade or business of the decedent.

A Non-U.S. Holder of notes will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal
income tax purposes by participating in the exchange offer to exchange privately
placed notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms.

U.S. HOLDERS

As used in this section, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of
a note that is not a Non-U.S. Holder.

Payments of interest on a note will generally be taxable to a U.S. Holder
as ordinary interest income when such interest is accrued or received, in
accordance with the U.S. Holder's regular method of tax accounting. If a U.S.
Holder holds notes with original issue discount ("OID") that have a maturity of
more than one year from their date of issue, the U.S. Holder will generally be
required recognize OID as

ordinary interest income on a constant yield method in advance of the receipt of
cash payments to which the income in attributable, regardless of the U.S.
Holder's method of tax accounting. However, a note is treated as having OID only
to the extent that the note's stated redemption price at maturity exceeds its
issue price by at least the "de minimis" amount (defined as 0.25% of the note's
stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of complete years
to its maturity). If the excess of a note's stated redemption price at maturity
over its issue price is less than this de minimis amount, then such excess is
treated as "de minimis OID," and is not generally required to be recognized as
ordinary interest income on a constant yield method in advance of receipt of
cash payments to which the income is attributable.

A U.S. Holder is entitled to elect to treat all interest that accrues on a
debt instrument as OID. Interest for this purpose includes stated interest, OID
(including any de minimis OID), and certain amounts of market discount. Special
rules and limitations apply to taxpayers that make this election; U.S. Holders
should consult their tax advisors regarding the decision whether to make this
election.

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale,
exchange, retirement or other disposition of a note in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount realized upon such disposition (less amounts
attributable to accrued interest, which will be treated as such) and the U.S.
Holder's tax basis in the note. Tax basis in a note will generally equal cost. A
U.S. Holder of notes will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax
purposes by participating in the exchange offer to exchange privately placed
notes for publicly registered notes with substantially identical terms.

BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND INFORMATION REPORTING

Information returns will be filed with the United States Internal Revenue
Service in connection with payments on the notes and proceeds from the sale or
other disposition of the notes. You may be subject to backup withholding tax on
these payments unless you comply with certain certification procedures to
establish either that you are not a United States person or are otherwise exempt
from backup withholding. The certification procedures required to claim an
exemption from withholding tax on interest described above will satisfy the
certification requirements of Non-U.S. Holders necessary to avoid backup
withholding as well; U.S. Holders may be required to provide the payor with an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or otherwise establish their exempt status,
in order to avoid backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from
a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your United States federal
income tax liability and may entitle you to a refund, provided that the required
information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account
pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of exchange notes. This prospectus, as
it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a
broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange
for outstanding notes where those outstanding notes were acquired as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a
period of 180 days after the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will make
this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until April 10, 2002, all
dealers effecting transactions in the exchange offer may be required to deliver
a prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by
broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account
pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more
transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through
the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of
resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to
such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made
directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive
compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such
broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer
that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its
72

own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that
participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any
such resale of exchange notes and any commission or concessions received by any
such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities
Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will
deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to
admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 180 days after the expiration date, we will promptly send
additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this
prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of
transmittal. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer,
including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the outstanding notes,
other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will
indemnify the holders of the exchange notes, including any broker-dealers,
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

LEGAL MATTERS

Jones, Day, Reavis & Pogue, Cleveland, Ohio, will pass upon the validity of
the exchange notes for us.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Roadway Express, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roadway
Express, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related
statements of consolidated income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company'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. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Roadway Express, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Roadway Express, Inc. (the Company) provides long haul, less-than-truck
load (LTL) freight services in North America and offers services to an
additional 66 countries worldwide in a single business segment. Approximately
75% of the Company's employees are represented by various labor unions,
primarily the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). The current
agreement with the IBT expires on March 31, 2003.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation -- The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents -- The Company considers all highly liquid investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Depreciation -- Depreciation of carrier operating property is computed by
the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets. The useful
life of structures ranges from 15 to 33 years, and equipment from 3 to 10 years.
Major maintenance expenditures that extend the useful life of carrier operating
equipment are capitalized and depreciated over 2 to 5 years.

Financial Instruments--The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate
their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The primary
derivative financial instruments the Company uses are interest rate swaps on
certain trailer leases as part of its overall risk management policy. The
Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes (See
note 10).

Goodwill -- Goodwill represents costs in excess of net assets of acquired
businesses, which are amortized using the straight-line method primarily over a
period of 20 years. The Company evaluates the realizability of goodwill over the
remaining amortization period based on the undiscounted cash flows of the
businesses acquired. Should the review indicate that goodwill is not
recoverable, the Company's carrying value of goodwill would be reduced to its
fair value. No reduction of goodwill for impairment has been necessary to date.

Casualty Claims Payable -- These accruals represent management's estimates
of claims for property damage and public liability and workers' compensation.
Expenses resulting from workers' compensation claims are included in salaries,
wages, and benefits in the accompanying statements of consolidated income.

Revenue Recognition -- The Company recognizes revenue as earned on the date
of freight delivery to consignee. Related expenses are recognized as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation -- The Company accounts for stock-based
compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

Foreign Currency Translation -- Income statement items are translated at
average currency exchange rates. Transaction gains and losses are included in
determining net income. All balance sheet accounts of foreign operations are
translated at the current exchange rate as of the end of the period. The
resulting translation adjustment is recorded as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements -- The preparation of the
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the period, the reported

F-7

ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets -- In the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of intangibles and long-lived
assets or other assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be
performed. If an evaluation were required, the estimated future undiscounted
cash flow associated with the asset would be compared to the asset's carrying
amount to determine if a write-down is required.

Concentration of Credit Risks -- The Company sells services and extends
credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without
requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent
on each customer's financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for
credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

Reclassifications -- Certain items in the 1999 financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

3. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is required to be adopted in the
year 2001. SFAS No. 133 will require, among other things, the Company to
recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. When adopted, SFAS
No. 133 will not have a material effect on earnings or the financial position of
the Company.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

earnings per share:

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

MULTI-EMPLOYER PLANS

The Company charged to operations $174,253,000 in 2000, $155,241,000 in
1999, and $149,608,000 in 1998 for contributions to multi-employer pension plans
for employees subject to labor contracts. The Company also charged to operations
$165,018,000 in 2000, $150,731,000 in 1999, and $153,166,000 in 1998 for
contributions to multi-employer plans that provide health and welfare benefits
to employees and certain retirees who are or were subject to labor contracts.
These amounts were determined in accordance

F-10

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

with provisions of industry labor contracts. Under provisions of the
Multi-employer Pension Plan Act of 1980, total or partial withdrawal from a plan
would result in an obligation to fund a portion of the plan's unfunded vested
liability. Management has no intention of changing operations so as to subject
the Company to any material obligation.

RETIREMENT PLANS

The following tables set forth the change in benefit obligation, change in
plan assets, funded status and amounts recognized in the consolidated balance

For measurement purposes, the Company assumed a weighted-average annual
rate of increase in the per capita cost of health care benefits (health care
cost trend rate) of 7.4% for 2001 declining gradually to 5.0% in 2006 and
thereafter.

The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the
amounts reported. For example, a one percentage point increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated post retirement
benefit obligation by $4,979,000 and the service and interest costs components
by $630,000 as of December 31, 2000. Conversely, a one percentage point decrease
in the assumed health care cost trend rate would decrease the accumulated post
retirement benefit obligation by $4,305,000 and the service and interest costs
components by $537,000.

The Company charged to operations $10,395,000 in 2000, $9,134,000 in 1999,
and $8,034,000 in 1998 relating to its defined contribution 401(k) plan. This
plan covers employees not subject to labor contracts. Annual contributions are
related to the level of voluntary employee participation.

9. STOCK PLANS

MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

The Company's Management Incentive Stock Plan (the Stock Plan) authorizes
the granting of common stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors to
officers and certain key employees of the Company over a five-year period from
1996 through 2000. The Board approved grants of 845,000 shares, of which 189,000
were awarded in 2000, 181,000 were awarded in 1999, and 159,000 were awarded in
1998. These grants are recorded as the unearned portion of restricted stock
awards. The grants, originally recorded at market price, are amortized to
compensation expense over the period for which the stock is restricted.
Compensation expense relating to the Stock Plan amounted to $2,600,000 in 2000,
$1,820,000 in 1999, and $1,222,000 in 1998.

F-12

ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

EQUITY OWNERSHIP PLAN AND NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN

Under the Equity Ownership Plan, the Board is authorized to award officers
and key employees with various types of stock-based compensation, including
stock options. Stock options vest over a period of four years from the date of
grant, are exercisable at the rate of 25% each year, and expire at the end of
ten years. The number of shares of common stock that may be issued or
transferred under the plan may not exceed 1,300,000. No awards were granted
under this plan in 2000. During 1999, the Board approved grants of 704,250 stock
options under this plan.

Under the Nonemployee Directors' Stock Option Plan, directors can elect to
invest all or a portion of their retainers in stock options. These stock options
vest one year from the date of grant and expire at the end of ten years. The
number of options issued under this plan may not exceed 100,000. During 2000,
1999 and 1998, 4,526, 10,329 and 6,599 options were issued under this plan.

The following table summarizes all stock option activity:

As permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,
the Company has elected to follow APB No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, and related Interpretations in accounting for stock-based awards to
employees. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is not

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

recognized in the Company's financial statements because the exercise price of
the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying
stock on the date of grant.

Under SFAS No. 123, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based
on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. Had
compensation cost been determined under SFAS No. 123, based on the Black-Scholes
value at the grant date, the Company's pro forma net income and earnings per
share would have been as follows:

OTHER STOCK PLANS

Under the Company's Employees' Stock Purchase Plan, all full-time eligible
employees may purchase shares of the Company's common stock up to 10% of their
respective compensation through payroll deductions. The purchase price under the
plan is 85% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock. Under this
plan, employees purchased 198,000 shares in 2000, 215,000 shares in 1999, and
240,000 shares in 1998.

The Company's Union Stock Plan provides stock awards to employees subject
to labor contracts who meet the eligibility and performance requirements of
providing a safe, reliably staffed, and injury-free work environment. The
Company allocated 100,000 shares in 2000, 50,000 shares in 1999, and 10,000
shares in 1998 for grant under this plan.

10. LEASES

The Company leases certain terminals and revenue equipment under
noncancellable operating leases requiring minimum future rentals aggregating
$158,344,000 payable as follows: 2001 -- $49,913,000; 2002 -- $36,835,000;
2003 -- $24,082,000; 2004 -- $14,408,000; 2005 -- $8,911,000; and thereafter
$24,195,000. Rental expense for operating leases was $45,445,000, $34,687,000,
and $23,557,000 for 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

The Company has interest rate swap agreements with major commercial banks
to fix the interest rate of its trailer leases from previous variable interest
rates. The value of the leases upon which the payments are based was not
changed. The agreements, which expire from 2002 to 2004, fix the Company's
interest costs at rates varying from 6.07% to 7.12% on leases valued at $32.7
million.

11. CREDIT FACILITIES

At December 31, 2000, the Company had $60,000,000 available through
unsecured credit facilities with certain banks. The agreement provides that
loans may be made under Company-selected interest rate formulas including Prime
Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate, and Eurodollar Base Rate, and include
covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios,
including a minimum level of consolidated net worth. Under these facilities,
interest expense, which approximates interest paid, amounted to $341,000 in
2000, $716,000 in 1999, and $937,000 in 1998.

12. CONTINGENCIES

Various legal proceedings arising from the normal conduct of business are
pending but, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these
matters will have no material effect on the financial condition or operations of
the Company.

F-14

ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

The Company has received notices from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) that it has been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) under
the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act
(Superfund) at certain hazardous waste sites. Such designations are made
regardless of the Company's limited involvement at each site. The claims for
remediation have been asserted against numerous other entities which are
believed to be financially solvent and are expected to fulfill their
proportionate share. The Company accrues for losses associated with
environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and
reasonably estimable. Based on its investigations, the Company believes that its
obligation with regard to these sites is not significant, although there can be
no assurances in this regard.

The Company's former parent is currently under examination by the Internal
Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to the spin-off of the
Company. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for
multi-employer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not
the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of this matter; however, its former parent intends to vigorously contest
these proposed adjustments.

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former
parent at the time of the spin-off, the Company is obligated to reimburse the
former parent for any additional taxes and interest that relate to the Company's
business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such payments, if any,
is dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's disputes with the
IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the obligations under the
tax sharing agreement. The Company has established certain reserves with respect
to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance, however, that the
amount or timing of any liability of the Company to the former parent will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
financial position.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS -- GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

On May 29, 2001, Roadway Express, Inc., Roadway Corporation, and Roadway
Merger Corp. entered into a Plan of Merger to implement a holding company
organization structure under which Roadway Corporation became a holding company
and Roadway Express, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Roadway
Corporation.

On November 30, 2001, Roadway Corporation acquired Arnold Industries, Inc.
for cash consideration of an aggregate of approximately $553 million. Also on
November 30, 2001, Roadway Corporation sold Arnold's logistics business (ARLO)
to members of the ARLO management team and Mr. Edward H. Arnold, the former
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Arnold, for $105 million in
cash. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under a new credit facility,
proceeds from an accounts receivable securitization and the issuance of $225
million in senior notes. Each of the non-minor domestic subsidiaries of Roadway
Corporation will unconditionally guarantee debt obligations under the new credit
facility and the senior notes. Additionally, the senior notes will be secured
equally and ratably with debt under the new credit facility, by liens on the
capital stock of Roadway Corporation's wholly owned subsidiaries, Roadway
Express, Inc. and Arnold Industries, Inc.

The following schedules set forth the condensed consolidating balance sheet
schedules as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the condensed consolidating
statements of income schedules and condensed consolidating statements of cash
flows schedules for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998. In the
following schedules "Parent Company" refers to the balances of Roadway
Corporation, "Guarantor Subsidiaries" refers to non-minor domestic subsidiaries,
and "Non-guarantor subsidiaries" refers to foreign and minor domestic
subsidiaries and "Eliminations" represent the adjustments necessary to (a)
eliminate inter-company transactions and (b) eliminate the investments in our
subsidiaries.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited 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 the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the thirty-six weeks (three quarters ended)
September 8, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2001. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Roadway Express, Inc. and Subsidiaries Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

On May 29, 2001, Roadway Express, Inc., Roadway Corporation, and Roadway
Merger Corp. ("Merger Sub") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Agreement") with the purpose of entering into the Agreement being to implement
a holding company organizational structure under which Roadway Corporation will
be the new holding company and Roadway Express, Inc. will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Roadway Corporation. Formation of the new holding company will
also permit Roadway additional flexibility in structuring pending as well as
anticipated acquisition transactions. The nature of the transaction is such that
shares of common stock ($0.01 par value per share) of Roadway Express, Inc.
issued and outstanding or held in treasury immediately prior to the effective
date of the Agreement were effectively converted into one share of common stock
($0.01 par value per share) of Roadway Corporation. All of the newly converted
Roadway Corporation common shares have the same designations, rights, powers,
preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the original
Roadway Express, Inc. common shares. The Roadway Corporation shares are listed
and traded on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol ROAD.

NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING PERIOD

The Company operates on 13 four-week accounting periods with 12 weeks in
each of the first three quarters and 16 weeks in the fourth quarter.

NOTE 3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income differs from net income due to foreign currency
translation adjustments as shown below:

NOTE 4. CONTINGENT MATTER

F-28

ROADWAY EXPRESS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)

timing, not the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict
the ultimate outcome of this matter, however, its former parent intends to
vigorously contest these proposed adjustments.

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former
parent at the time of the spin-off, the Company is obligated to reimburse the
former parent for any additional taxes and interest which relate to the
Company's business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such
payments, if any, is dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's
disputes with the IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the
obligations under the tax sharing agreement. The Company has established certain
reserves with respect to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance,
however, that the amount or timing of any liability of the Company to the former
parent will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations and financial position.

NOTE 5. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, effective
January 1, 2001. The effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 133 was not material to
the Company's earnings, financial position, or cash flows.

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which is effective for
the Company on January 1, 2002, eliminates the amortization of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets. This statement also requires an initial
goodwill impairment assessment in the year of adoption and annual impairment
tests thereafter. As of September 8, 2001, the Company had net unamortized
goodwill of $15.2 million and amortization expense on an annual basis of
approximately $1.0 million.

been included. Operating results for the twelve weeks ending September 8, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2001. For further information, refer to the consolidated

NOTE 5. CONTINGENT MATTER

The Company's former parent is currently under examination by the Internal
Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years prior to the spin-off of the
Company. The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for
multiemployer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not
the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate
outcome of this matter, however, its former parent intends to vigorously contest
these proposed adjustments.

F-34

ROADWAY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) -- (CONTINUED)

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former
parent at the time of the spin-off, the Company is obligated to reimburse the
former parent for any additional taxes and interest which relate to the
Company's business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such
payments, if any, is dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's
disputes with the IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the
obligations under the tax sharing agreement. The Company has established certain
reserves with respect to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance,
however, that the amount or timing of any liability of the Company to the former
parent will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations and financial position.

NOTE 6. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Tangible Assets, which is effective for
the Company on January 1, 2001, eliminates the amortization of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets. This statement also requires an initial
goodwill impairment assessment in the year of adoption and annual impairment
tests thereafter. As of September 8, 2001, the Company had net unamortized
goodwill of $15.2 million and amortization expense on an annual basis of
approximately $1.0 million.

NOTE 7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT -- GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES

The following schedules set forth the condensed consolidating balance sheet
schedules as of September 8, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the condensed
consolidating statements of income schedules and condensed consolidating
statements of cash flows schedules for the thirty-six weeks (three quarters)
ended September 8, 2001 and September 9, 2000. In the following schedules
"Parent Company" refers to the balances of Roadway Corporation, "Guarantor
Subsidiaries" refers to non-minor domestic subsidiaries, "Non-guarantor

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

Report of Independent Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Arnold Industries, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows,
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Arnold
Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) at December 31, 2000 and
1999 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
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, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

The Company operates in the motor carrier industry, principally in the
Eastern United States. Revenues are mainly generated from less-than-truckload
hauling, truckload hauling, and warehouse/logistics services.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Arnold and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues from less-than-truckload hauling are allocated between reporting
periods based on relative transit time in each reporting period with expenses
recognized as incurred, and revenues from truckload hauling are recognized when
the shipment is completed with expenses recognized as incurred. Revenues for
warehouse/distribution services are recognized as the related services are
rendered and associated costs incurred.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. During 2000, the Company entered into a
financing arrangement with a third party for payment of various insurance
premiums. At December 31, 2000, the amount outstanding under this arrangement
was $2,910. This amount has been recorded in prepaid expenses and supplies and
notes payable in the accompanying 2000 consolidated balance sheet and as a
noncash transaction in the 2000 consolidated statement of cash flows.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

At December 31, 2000 and 1999, marketable equity and debt securities have
been categorized as available for sale and as a result are recorded at fair
value. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are recognized using
the specific identification method and are included in other income in the
consolidated statements of income. Quoted market prices are used to determine
market value.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
marketable securities, and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its
cash and cash equivalents with high credit financial institutions, and limits
the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company's
marketable securities consist principally of U.S. Government securities,
municipal bonds, and equity securities.

Concentrations with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the
large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base, and their
dispersion across many different industries and geographies.

F-48

ARNOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company depreciates the cost, less estimated residual value, of revenue
equipment and other depreciable assets principally on the straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives.

The estimated useful lives used in computing depreciation on the principal
classifications of property and equipment are as follows:

<Table>

Buildings 15-31 years
Revenue equipment 3-10 years
Service equipment 3-6 years
Other equipment and fixtures 3-7 years
</Table>

When buildings and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
property and accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable
amounts and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in miscellaneous operating
expenses. In 2000 and 1999, certain revenue equipment was sold to owner-
operators for $936 and $2,164 in interest bearing notes with established
repayment terms.

Land was also sold in 1999 in return for a $142 mortgage loan. These
amounts have been treated as noncash transactions on the 2000 and 1999
consolidated statements of cash flows.

GOODWILL

The excess of the cost of investments in subsidiaries over the fair market
value of net assets acquired is shown as goodwill, which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a maximum period of 40 years.

IMPAIRMENTS

The Company's policy is to record an impairment loss against the net
unamortized cost of long lived assets in the period when it is determined that
the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. At the end of each
quarter, management assesses whether there have been any significant events or
significant changes in the environment in which the business operates that would
indicate expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest)
would become less than the carrying amount of the asset.

INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

The Company's investments in low-income housing limited partnerships
reflect their cash investment plus the present value of required future
contributions net of amortization of any excess of cost over the estimated
residual value.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

INCOME TAXES

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109), deferred income taxes are
accounted for by the liability method, wherein deferred tax assets or
liabilities are calculated on the differences between the bases of assets and
liabilities for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes (temporary
differences) using enacted tax rates in

F-49

ARNOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Tax
expense in the consolidated statements of income is equal to the sum of taxes
currently payable plus an amount necessary to adjust deferred tax assets and
liabilities to an amount equal to period-end temporary differences at prevailing
tax rates.

TREASURY STOCK

Treasury stock is carried at cost, determined by the first-in, first-out
method.

On March 22, 1997, the Board of Directors authorized management to
repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock through open market purchases.
The Board of Directors subsequently increased the authorization by 1,000,000
shares on February 27, 1998 and December 28, 1998, respectively. As of December
31, 2000, the Company has purchased a total of 2,368,300 shares of its stock
under the Board of Directors authorization with 105,000, 263,300 and 1,182,400
shares purchased during 2000, 1999 and 1998, at an aggregate cost of $1,391,
$3,180 and $15,042, respectively.

OPTIONS FOR COMMON STOCK

The Company uses the intrinsic value based method to account for options
granted for the purchase of common stock. No compensation expense is recognized
on the grant date since, at that date, the option price equals the market price
of the underlying common stock. The Company discloses the pro-forma effect of
accounting for stock options under the fair value method.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the average shares of common
stock outstanding while diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised. The following is a
reconciliation of the average shares of common stock used to compute basic
earnings per share to the shares used to compute diluted earnings per share as
shown on the consolidated statements of income:

<Table>
<Caption>
2000 1999 1998
----------- ----------- -----------

Net income.................................. $ 39,537 $ 34,654 $ 35,116
Basic weighted average shares outstanding... 24,614,159 24,801,592 25,668,457
Dilutive effect of stock options............ 202,368 200,694 133,352
Diluted weighted average shares
outstanding............................... 24,816,527 25,002,286 25,801,809
Basic earnings per share.................... $ 1.61 $ 1.40 $ 1.37
Diluted earnings per share.................. $ 1.59 $ 1.39 $ 1.36
</Table>

During 2000, 1999 and 1998, stock options to purchase 175,000 shares,
175,000 shares and 200,000 shares respectively of common stock at $18.56 per
share were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the stock options' exercise price was greater than
the average market price of the common stock.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. The Company has determined that net income is its only component of
comprehensive income.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities on its balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
SFAS No. 137, issued by the FASB in July 1999, establishes a new effective date
for SFAS No. 133. This statement, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is effective for
all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and is
therefore effective for the Company beginning with its fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2001. In June 2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities -- an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133." SFAS No. 138 addresses a limited number of issues causing
implementation difficulties for SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 138 is required to be
adopted concurrently with SFAS No. 133 and is therefore effective for the
Company beginning with its fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2001. As the Company
does not utilize derivative instruments, these pronouncements will have no
effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In March 2000, the FASB issued interpretation No. 44 or FIN 44 "Accounting
for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," which is an
interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, or APB Opinion 25.
This interpretation clarifies the definition of an employee noncompensatory
plan, accounting consequences of various modifications to previously fixed stock
options or awards and the exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination. The adoption of FIN 44 did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

2. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

The cost and market value of investment securities at December 31, 2000 and
1999 follows:

<Table>
<Caption>
2000 1999
--------------- ---------------

Total.......................................... $6,121 $6,121 $2,105 $2,105
</Table>

The net gain (loss) on marketable securities recorded during the years
ended 2000, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $0, $(1) and $(5), respectively.

The debt securities available for sale at December 31, 2000 all mature
within one year of the consolidated balance sheet date.

3. NOTES PAYABLE

In October 2000, the Company acquired virtually all assets of National
Corporate Marketing, Inc. (NCM) (Note 12). Under the purchase agreement, the
Company is required to make additional payments to the former owners of NCM if
specific targets are met with a minimum of $1,262, due in annual installments
plus interest at 7.5%, beginning in 2001 through 2005. The maximum amount of
contingent additional payments over the minimum accrued at December 31, 2000
should not exceed $1,500.

F-51

ARNOLD INDUSTRIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 2000, the Company owed $2,910 for amounts outstanding under
its insurance premium financing arrangement with a third party (Note 1). The
amount is due in equal monthly installments through June 2001 including interest
at 7.25%.

The Company had unsecured working capital lines of credit with maximum
borrowings of $65,000 for 2000 and 1999 of which $0 and $23,711 was outstanding
at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Borrowings under these agreements
bear interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 50 basis points.

In connection with its investments in low income housing limited
partnerships, the Company is required as of December 31, 2000 to make additional
contributions over the next year of $200. The additional contributions of $200
were discounted to $192 using the Company's incremental borrowing rate of 6%.
Management anticipates that the cash flow from the tax credits generated by
these investments will approximate the additional contributions during this
period.

4. LEASES

During 2000, the Company leased certain property under non-cancelable
operating leases. Rental expense under such operating leases was $3,100 and
$2,629 in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under
operating leases with noncancelable terms are:

<Table>

2001........................................................ $4,070
2002........................................................ $4,081
2003........................................................ $4,108

2005........................................................ $2,921
After 2005.................................................. $4,070

5. STOCK OPTION AND STOCK PURCHASE PLANS

STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company has a 1987 and 1997 stock option plan which provide for the
granting of options to purchase shares of the Company's stock to certain
executives, employees, consultants and directors. The 1987 stock option plan
expired on March 31, 1997 and was replaced by the 1997 stock option plan
effective April 1, 1997. No new options can be granted under the 1987 stock
option plan.

Under the 1997 stock option plan, options to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares
of the stock may be granted to executives, employees, consultants and directors
of the Company. Options under both plans carry various restrictions. Under the
plans, certain options granted to employees will be incentive stock options
within the meaning of Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code and other
options will be considered nonqualified stock options. Both incentive stock
options and nonqualified stock options may be granted for no less than market
value at the date of grant. Options are exercisable three months from the date
of grant if the employee is age 55 or older; otherwise they are exercisable five
years from the date of grant. The options expire no later than ten years after
the date of grant. Also, no employee may participate in the incentive stock
option plans if immediately after the grant he or she would directly or
indirectly own more than 10% of the stock of the Company.

3.00% and 3.00%, respectively; expected volatility of 32.6%, 34.3% and 29.10%,
respectively; risk-free interest rate of 5.93%, 6.23% and 4.55%, respectively;
and expected life of 6 years.

STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

The Company maintains a stock purchase plan which is available to all
eligible employees. Under the plan, subscriptions of each subscribing employee
are remitted to a custodian for investment in the common stock of the Company.

Minimum and maximum contributions under the plan are five hundred twenty
dollars and five thousand two hundred dollars for each employee in any one year.
At least monthly the custodian purchases the stock in the over-the-counter
market and the Company allocates all purchased shares based on average price for
all purchases and individual payroll deduction amounts.

Under the plan the Company is responsible for all costs of stock purchases
and stock sales within the plan and any administrative costs related to issuance
of stock certificates. Employees are responsible for the expense of sale or
transfer on issued stock certificates.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company reports information about its operating segments according to
the "management approach." The management approach is based on the way
management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating
decisions and assessing performance. The Company's reportable segments are
identified based on differences in products and services.

The Company's reportable segments are: less-than-truckload hauling,
truckload hauling, and warehousing/logistics services. The less-than-truckload
hauling segment provides next day service in the Northeast region of the United
States. The truckload hauling segment provides irregular route and dedicated
services throughout the eastern, midwestern, and southwestern regions of the
United States. The warehousing/logistics services segment specializes in
integrated distribution services, order fulfillment, and contract packaging
services in Pennsylvania and Texas.

The measurement basis of segment profit or loss is operating income. No
single customer represented 10% or more of the Company's sales during 2000, 1999
and 1998.

The following tables present information about reported segments for the
years ending December 31:

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, marketable
securities, investments in limited partnerships and notes payable. At December
31, 2000 and 1999, the carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair
value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments, and the carrying
value of marketable securities is fair market value. With respect to investments
in limited partnerships, management has determined that the resulting carrying
value approximates estimated fair market value. The fair value of the Company's
obligations for contributions to limited partnerships approximates its carrying
value.

The fair market value of the Company's notes payable approximates its
carrying value and was based on the borrowing rates currently available to the
Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities.

10. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Accounting and legal fees totaling approximately $909, $877 and $778 in
2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were paid or accrued to firms in which
certain directors have financial interests.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

By agreement with its insurance carriers, the Company assumed liability for
worker's compensation, property damage and public liability claims for claim
years ending after June 30, 1998 up to $25 per occurrence, except for worker's
compensation in New Jersey for the claim year ending June 30, 1999 only which
was $250 per occurrence. The liability for claim years ending June 30, 1998,
1997, and 1996 was transferred to an outside insurance carrier for approximately
$11,000 in 1999. The Company's liability for claim years ending June 30, 1995
and prior is up to $1,000 for the first occurrence and up to $500 for each
subsequent occurrence. The excess liability is assumed by the insurance carriers
up to $50,000. In conjunction with these agreements, the Company has issued
irrevocable letters of credit to guarantee future payments of claims to the
insurance carriers. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the outstanding balance of
the letters of credit was $4,000.

12. ACQUISITION

In October 2000, the Company acquired virtually all assets of National
Corporate Marketing, Inc. (NCM), consisting primarily of accounts receivable and
property, plant and equipment for cash paid of $3,683. Liabilities assumed with
the acquisition consisted primarily of accrued vacation of $100. In addition,
under the purchase agreement the Company is required to make additional payments
to the former owners (Note 3) which has been recorded as a noncash transaction
in the accompanying 2000 statement of cash flows. The overall acquisition has
been accounted for under the purchase method and has been included in the

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of
results for the interim period. This financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements, Notes thereto and information
included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K and any intervening
reports.

The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ending
September 30, 2001, and September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS
No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities on its balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. These requirements were effective for the
Company with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2001. Because the Company does
not currently utilize derivative instruments or hedging activities, SFAS No.
133, as amended, has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements as presented.

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141
"Business Combinations" (SFAS 141) and SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), which are effective July 1, 2001 and January 1,
2002, respectively. SFAS 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Under SFAS
142, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business
combinations, will discontinue upon adoption of this standard. In addition,
goodwill recorded as a result of business combinations completed during the
six-month period ending December 31, 2001 will not be amortized. All goodwill
and intangible assets will be tested for impairment in accordance with the
provisions of the Statement. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions
of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 and assessing the impact of adoption.

In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved SFAS No.
144 (SFAS 144) "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
which is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 144 supersedes the accounting provisions
of APB 30 that address the disposal of a segment of a business and requires that
such long-lived assets be reported at fair value less cost to sell. It requires
that long lived assets to be abandoned, exchanged for similar productive assets
or distributed to owners in a spin-off be considered held for use until they are
abandoned, exchanged or distributed. It also eliminates the exception to
consolidation for a subsidiary when control is expected to be temporary. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS on the consolidated financial
statements.
