covering:

operations in, between and over all of the states, territories and
possessions of the United States, and operations into and out of all

The _____________________________________ (Company or Association)
hereinafter referred to as the "EMPLOYER" and the TEAMSTERS NATIONAL FREIGHT

is an affiliate of the INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS, agree to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 1.
PARTIES TO THE AGREEMENT

Section 1. Employers Covered

The Employer consists of Associations, members of Associations who have given
authorization to the Associations to represent them in the negotiation and/or
execution of this Agreement and Supplemental Agreements, and individual
Employers who become signator to this Agreement and Supplemental Agreements
as hereinafter set forth. The signator Associations enter into this
Agreement and Supplemental Agreements as hereinafter set forth. The signator
Associations represent that they are duly authorized to enter into this
Agreement and Supplemental Agreements on behalf of their members under and as
limited by their authorizations as submitted prior to negotiations.

Section 2. Unions Covered

The Union consists of any Local Union which may become a party to this
Agreement and any Supplemental Agreement as hereinafter set forth. Such
Local Unions are hereinafter designated as "Local Union." In addition to such
Local Unions, the Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee
representing Local Unions affiliated with the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, hereinafter referred to as the "National Union Committee," is also
a party to this Agreement and the agreements supplemental hereto.

Section 3. Transfer of Company Title or Interest

The Employer's obligations under this Agreement including Supplements shall
be binding upon its successors, administrators, executors and assigns. The
Employer agrees that the obligations of this Agreement shall be included in
the agreement of sale, transfer or assignment of the business. In the event
an entire active or inactive operation, or a portion thereof, or rights only,
are sold, leased, transferred or taken over by sale, transfer, lease,
assignment, receivership or bankruptcy proceedings, such operation or use of
rights shall continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement for the life thereof. Transactions covered by this

<PAGE>
Article 1, Section 3

provision include stock sales or exchanges, mergers, consolidations, spin-
offs or any other method by which a business is transferred.

It is understood by this Section that the signator Employer shall not sell,
lease or transfer such run or runs or rights to a third party to evade this
Agreement. In the event the Employer fails to require the purchaser,
transferee, or lessee to assume the obligations of this Agreement, as set
forth above, the Employer (including partners thereof) shall be liable to the
Local Union (s) and to the employees covered for all damages sustained as a
result of such failure to require the assumption of the terms of this
Agreement until its expiration date, but shall not be liable after the
purchaser, the transferee or lessee has agreed to assume the obligations of
this Agreement. The obligations set forth above shall not apply in the event
of the sale, lease or transfer of a portion of the rights comprising less
than all of the signator Employer's rights to a nonsignator company unless
the purpose is to evade this Agreement. Corporate reorganizations by a
signatory Employer, occurring during the term of this Agreement, shall not
relieve the signatory Employer or the re-organized Employer of the
obligations of this Agreement during its term.

When a signator to this Agreement purchases rights from another signator, the
provisions of Article 5 shall apply. The applicable layoff provisions of
this Agreement shall apply.

The Employer shall give notice of the existence of this Agreement to any
purchaser, transferee, lessee, assignee, or other entity involved in the
sale, merger, consolidation, acquisition, transfer, spin-off, lease or other
transaction by which the operation covered by this Agreement or any part
thereof, including rights only, may be transferred. Such notice shall be in
writing, with a copy to the Local Union, at the time the seller, transferor
or lessor makes the purchase and sale negotiation known to the public or
executes a contract or transaction as herein described, whichever first
occurs. The Local Union shall also be advised of the exact nature of the
transaction, not including financial details.
The term rights shall include routes and runs.

Article 2, Section 1

ARTICLE 2.
SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

Section 1. Master Agreement

The execution of this National Master Freight Agreement on the part of the
Employer shall apply to all operations of the Employer which are covered by
this Agreement and shall have application to the work performed within the
classifications defined and set forth in the Agreements supplemental hereto.

Section 2. Supplements to Master Agreement

(a) There are several segments of the trucking industry covered by this
Agreement and for this reason Supplemental Agreements are provided for each
of the specific types of work performed by the various classifications of
employees controlled by this Master Agreement.

All such Supplemental Agreements are subject to and controlled by the terms
of this Master Agreement and are sometimes referred to herein as
"Supplemental Agreements."

All such Supplemental Agreements are to be clearly limited to the specific
classifications of work as enumerated or described in each individual
Supplement.

(b) The parties shall establish four (4) Conference Area Iron and Steel
and/or Truckload Supplements to the National Master Freight Agreement.

The Employer and the Local Union, parties to this Agreement, may enter into
an agreement whereby road drivers working under an Over-The-Road Supplemental
Agreement have the opportunity to perform work covered by and subject to the
above Conference Area Supplements, under conditions agreed upon. Such
Supplement shall be submitted to the appropriate Conference Joint Area
Committee.

(c) The jurisdiction covered by the National Master Freight Agreement
and its various Supplements thereto includes, without limitation, stuffing,
stripping, loading and discharging of cargo or containers. This does not
include loading or discharging of cargo

<PAGE>
Article 2, Section 2

or containers to or from vessels except in those instances where such work is
presently being performed. Existing practices, rules and understandings,
between the Employer and the Union, with respect to this work shall continue
except to the extent modified by mutual agreement.

Section 3. Non-covered Units

This Agreement shall not be applicable to those operations of the Employer
where the employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with a
Union not signatory to this Agreement, or to those employees who have not
designated a signatory Union as their collective bargaining agent.

Card Check

(a) When a majority of the eligible employees performing work covered
by an Agreement designated by the National Negotiating Committee to be
Supplemental to the National Master Freight Agreement execute a card
authorizing a signatory Local Union to represent them as their collective
bargaining agent at the terminal location, then, such employees shall
automatically be covered by this Agreement and the applicable Supplemental
Agreements. If an Employer refuses to recognize the Union as above set forth
and the matter is submitted to the National Labor Relations Board or any
mutually agreed upon process for determination, and such determination
results in certification or recognition of the Union, all benefits of this
Agreement and applicable Supplements shall be retroactive to the date of
demand for recognition. In such cases the parties may by mutual agreement
negotiate wages and conditions, subject to Conference Joint Area Committee
approval.

The parties agree that a constructive bargaining relationship is essential to
efficient operations and sound employee relations. The parties recognize
that organizational campaigns occur in bargaining relationships and that both
parties are free to accurately state their respective positions concerning
the organization of certain groups of employees. However, the parties also
recognize that campaigns must be waged on the facts only. Accordingly, the
parties will not engage in any personal attacks against Union or Company
representatives or attacks against the Union or Company as an institution
during the course of any such campaign.

<PAGE>
Article 2, Section 3

Additions to Operations: Over-The-Road and Local Cartage Supplemental
Agreements

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, the provisions of the
National Master Freight Agreement and the applicable Over-The-Road and Local
Cartage Supplemental Agreements shall be applied without evidence of union
representation of the employees involved, to all subsequent additions to, and
extensions of, current operations which adjoin and are controlled and
utilized as a part of such current operation, and newly established terminals
and consolidations of terminals which are controlled and utilized as a part
of such current operation.

If an Employer refuses to recognize the Union as above set forth and the
matter is submitted to the National Labor Relations Board or any mutually
agreed-upon process for determination, and such determination results in
certification or recognition of the Union, all benefits of this Agreement and
applicable Supplements shall be retroactive to the date of demand for
recognition.

The provisions of Article 32 - Subcontracting, shall apply to this paragraph.
Extensions or additions to current operations, etc., which adjoin and are
controlled and utilized as part of such current operation shall be subject to
the jurisdiction of the appropriate Change Of Operations Committee for the
purpose of determining whether the provisions of Article 8, Section 6 -
Change of Operations, apply and, if so, to what extent.

Section 4. Single Bargaining Unit

The employees, Unions, Employers and Associations covered under this Master
Agreement and the various Supplements thereto shall constitute one (1)
bargaining unit and contract. It is understood that the printing of this
Master Agreement and the aforesaid Supplements in separate Agreements is for
convenience only and is not intended to create separate bargaining units.

This National Master Freight Agreement applies to city and road operations,
and other classifications of employment authorized by the signatory Employers
to be represented by Employer Associations or Employers, where applicable,
participating in national collective bargaining. The common problems and
interest, with respect to basic terms and conditions of employment, have
resulted in the cre-

<PAGE>
Article 2, Section 4

ation of the National Master Freight Agreement and the respective
Supplemental Agreements. Accordingly, the Associations and Employers,
parties to this Agreement, acknowledge that they constitute a single national
multi-employer collective bargaining unit, composed of the Associations named
hereinafter and those Employers authorizing such associations to represent
then for the purpose of collective bargaining, and solely to the extent of
such authorization, and such other individual employers which have, or may,
become parties to this Agreement.

Section 5. Riders

Upon the effective date of this Agreement, all existing or previously adopted
Riders which provide less than the wages, hours, and working conditions
specifically established by this Agreement and Supplemental Agreements shall
become null and void. Thereafter, the specific provisions of this Agreement
and applicable Supplemental Agreements shall apply without being subject to
variance by Riders. This Section shall not be applied or interpreted to
eliminate operational, dispatch, or working rules not specifically set forth
in this Agreement and Supplemental Agreements.

ARTICLE 3.
RECOGNITION, UNION SHOP AND
CHECKOFF

Section 1. Recognition

(a) The Employer recognizes and acknowledges that the Teamsters
National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee and Local Unions affiliated
with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters are the exclusive
representatives of all employees in the classifications of work covered by
this National Master Freight Agreement, and those Supplements thereto
approved by the Joint National Negotiating Committees for the purpose of
collective bargaining as provided by the National Labor Relations Act.

Subject to Article 2, Section 3 - Non-covered Units, this provision shall
apply to all present and subsequently acquired over-the-road and local
cartage operations and terminals of the Employer.

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 1

This provision shall not apply to wholly-owned and wholly independently
operated subsidiaries which are not under contract with local IBT unions.
"Wholly independently operated" means, among other things, that there shall
be no interchange of freight, equipment or personnel, or common use, in whole
or in part, of equipment, terminals, property, personnel or rights.

Union Shop

(b) All present employees who are members of the Local Union on the
effective date of this subsection or on the date of execution of this
Agreement, whichever is the later, shall remain members of the Local Union in
good standing as a condition of employment. "Member in good standing" means
that an employee has paid his/her union dues and fees. All present employees
who are not members of the Local Union and all employees who are hired
hereafter shall become and remain members in good standing of the Local Union
as a condition of employment on and after the thirty-first (31st) calendar
day following the beginning of their employment or on and after the thirty-
first (31st) calendar day following the effective date of this subsection or
the date of this Agreement, whichever is the later. An employee who has
failed to acquire, or thereafter maintain, membership in the Union as herein
provided, shall be terminated seventy-two (72) hours after his/her Employer
has received written notice from an authorized representative of the Local
Union, certifying that membership has been, and is continuing to be, offered
to such employee on the same basis as all other members and, further, that
the employee has had notice and opportunity to make all dues or initiation
fee payments. This provision shall be made and become effective as of such
time as it may be made and become effective under the provisions of the
National Labor Relations Act, but not retroactively.

For purposes of this Article, "present employees" and "employees who are
hired hereafter" shall include "casual employees" as defined in Article 3,
Section 2 of this Agreement. Such "casual employees" will be required to
join the Union prior to their employment on or after the thirty-first (31st)
calendar day following their first (1st) day of employment for any Employer
signatory to this Agreement.

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 1

Hiring

(c) When the Employer needs additional employees, it shall give the
Local Union equal opportunity with all other sources to provide suitable
applicants, but the Employer shall not be required to hire those referred by
the Local Union. Violations of this subsection shall be subject to the
Grievance Committee.

Any employment examination for applicants must test skills or physical
abilities necessary for performance of the work in the job classification in
which the applicant will be employed. Violations of this subsection shall be
subject to the Grievance Committee.

State Law

(d) No provision of this Article shall apply in any state to the extent
that it may be prohibited by state law. If under applicable state law
additional requirements must be met before any such provisions may become
effective, such additional requirements shall be first met.

Agency Shop

(e) If any agency shop clause is permissible in any state where the
provisions of this Article relating to the Union Shop cannot apply, the
following Agency Clause shall prevail:

(1) Membership in the Local Union is not compulsory. Employees have
the right to join, not join, maintain, or drop their membership in the Local
Union, as they see fit. Neither party shall exert any pressure on, or
discriminate against, an employee as regards such matters.

(2) Membership in the Local Union is separate, apart and distinct from
the assumption by one of his/her equal obligation to the extent that he/she
receives equal benefits. The Local Union is required under this Agreement to
represent all of the employees in the bargaining unit fairly and equally
without regard to whether or not an employee is a member of the Local Union.
The terms of this Agreement have been made for all employees in the
bargaining unit and not only for members in the Local Union, and this
Agreement has been executed by the Employer after it has satisfied itself
that the Local Union is the choice of a majority of the employees in the

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 1

bargaining unit. Accordingly, it is fair that each employee in the
bargaining unit pay his/her own way and assume his/her fair share of the
obligations along with the grant of equal benefits contained in this
Agreement.

(3) In accordance with the policy set forth under subparagraphs (1) and
(2) of this Section, all employees shall, as a condition of continued
employment, pay to the Local Union, the employee's exclusive collective
bargaining representative, an amount of money equal to that paid by other
employees in the bargaining unit who are members of the Local Union, which
shall be limited to an amount of money equal to the Local Union's regular and
usual initiation fees, and its regular and usual dues. For present
employees, such payments shall commence thirty-one (31) days following the
effective date or on the date of execution of this Agreement, whichever is
the later, and for new employees, the payment shall start thirty-one (31)
days following the date of employment.

Savings Clause

(f) If any provision of this Article is invalid under the law of any
state wherein this Agreement is executed, such provision shall be modified to
comply with the requirements of state law or shall be renegotiated for the
purpose of adequate replacement. If such negotiations shall not result in
mutually satisfactory agreement, either party shall be permitted all legal or
economic recourse.

Employer Recommendation

(g) In those instances where subsection (b) hereof may not be validly
applied, the Employer agrees to recommend to all employees that they become
members of the Local Union and maintain such membership during the life of
this Agreement, to refer new employees to the Local Union representative, and
to recommend to delinquent members that they pay their dues since they are
receiving the benefits of this Agreement.

Business agents shall be permitted to attend new employee orientations in
right-to-work states. The sole purpose of the business agent's attendance is
to encourage employees to join the Union.

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 1

Future Law

(h) To the extent such amendment may become permissible under
applicable federal and state law during the life of this Agreement as a
result of legislative, administrative or judicial determination, all of the
provisions of this Article shall be automatically amended to embody the
greater Union security provisions contained in the 1947-1949 Central States
Area Over-The-Road Motor Freight Agreement, or to apply or become effective
in situations not now permitted by law.

No Violation of Law

(i) Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed so as to
require the Employer to violate any applicable law.

Section 2. Probationary and Casual Employees

(a) Probationary Employees

(1) A probationary employee shall work under the provisions of this
Agreement, but shall be employed on a trial basis as provided for in each
Supplement.

(2) During the probationary period, the employee may be terminated
without further recourse; provided, however, that the Employer may not
terminate the employee for the purpose of evading this Agreement or
discriminating against Union members. A probationary employee who is
terminated by the Employer during the probationary period and is then worked
again at any time during the next full twelve (12) months at any of that
Employer's locations within the jurisdiction of the Local Union covering the
terminal where he/she first worked, except in those jurisdictions where the
Local Union maintains a hiring hall or referral system, shall be added to the
regular seniority list with a seniority date as of the date that person is
subsequently worked. The rules contained in subsection (a) (2) are subject
to provisions in the Supplements to the contrary.

(3) Probationary employees shall be paid at the new hire rate of pay
during the probationary period; however, if the employee is terminated by the
Employer during such period, he/she shall be com-

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 2

pensated at the full contract rate of pay for all hours worked retroactive to
the first (1st) day worked in such period.

(4) The Union and the Employer may agree to extend the probationary
period for no more than thirty (30) days, but the probationary employee must
agree to such extension in writing-

(b) Casual Employees

(1) A casual employee is an individual who is not on the regular
seniority list and who is not serving a probationary period. A casual may be
either a replacement casual or a supplemental casual as hereinafter provided.
Casuals shall not have seniority status. Casuals shall not be discriminated
against for future employment.

(2) a. Replacement casuals may be utilized by an Employer to replace
regular employees when such regular employees are off due to illness,
vacation or other absence, except when an absence of a regular employee
continues beyond three (3) consecutive months, a replacement casual shall not
thereafter be used to fill such absence, unless the Employer and the Local
Union mutually agree to the continued use of a replacement casual.

b. Where the Company is using casuals as vacation replacements for regular
employees, and the Area Supplemental Agreement does not provide a method to
add regular employees based on the use of casuals to replace vacation
absence, the vacation schedules shall be broken into yearly quarters
beginning January lst, and subsequent vacation quarters shall begin on April
1st, July 1st, and October lst thereafter.

Starting with the quarter beginning April, 1991, and continuing each quarter
thereafter, the Employer shall add one (1) additional employee to the regular
seniority list for each sixty-five (65) vacation replacement days worked by a
casual during each vacation quarter.

The application of this formula shall not result in pyramiding.

New employees shall be placed on the respective seniority lists on the first
(lst) day of the following quarter unless there are employees in layoff
status, in which case such new employees shall be placed on the respective
seniority list at the time the laid-off employees are recalled from layoff
status.

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 2

Employees shall first be added to the regular seniority list from the
preferential list, if applicable. Thereafter, employees to be added to the
regular seniority list shall be determined by the respective Supplement and
shall be subject to the probationary provisions of that Supplement.

In the application of this formula, employees specifically designated under
an appropriate reporting procedure to replace absence other than vacations
shall not be included as vacation replacements. It is the intent of the
parties, in the application of this formula, to add regular employees to the
seniority list to replace employees on vacation where there is regular work
opportunity for such additional employees.

The implementation of this provision may raise issues particular to a
respective Supplemental Agreement. Failure to resolve the issues, such
Supplemental Negotiating Committee may agree to waive this provision, or
submit the disputed issues to the National Grievance Committee.

(3) Supplemental casuals may be used to supplement the regular work
force as provided for in each respective Supplement. Once the number of new
employees to be added as required in the Supplement is determined, the
Employer must initiate the processing of the new probationary employees
immediately, and complete such processing as provided for in the Supplements.

(4) Unless waived in writing by any Joint Supplemental Negotiating
Committee, all Supplements shall provide for a preferential casual hiring
list and shall provide the qualifications for placement on such list.
Casuals on the preferential hiring list shall be offered available extra work
and future regular employment in seniority order by classification as among
themselves. A preferential casual employee's seniority date shall be the
date he/she becomes a regular employee; and such employee shall not be
subject to any probationary period.

Casual employees on the preferential hiring list shall have full access to
the grievance procedure.

The provisions of Article 3, Section 3, shall apply to casual employees on
the preferential hiring list who are paid on the regular payroll.

Local Unions employing an exclusive hiring hall under the terms of the
Supplemental Agreement may petition the respective Joint Area

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 2

Supplemental Negotiating Committee for approval to waive this subparagraph
(4).

(5) Casual road employees, where permitted by Supplemental Agreement,
may only be used within the jurisdiction of their respective Conference Area
and shall gain preferential status and/or regular seniority status as
provided in the respective Supplement.

(6) Any casual employee who declines regular employment shall be
terminated without recourse and will not be used by the Employer for any
further work.

(7) The Employer agrees to give first opportunity for work as a casual
employee to qualified laid-off employees from other Employers signatory to
the NMFA. This provision shall not supersede an established order of call in
the Supplemental Agreement. The Local Union will furnish to the Employer a
list of the names, addresses, phone numbers and the jobs such employees are
qualified to perform. The employee must be able to meet the hiring standards
of the Employer. The employee must be able to report in compliance with the
Employer's established call time procedure, and be able to furnish proof of
such qualification for the work available.

(8) Fringe benefits will be paid on casuals in accordance with the
terms of the Supplemental Agreement. Minimum daily guarantees will be
governed by the respective Supplemental Agreement.

(9) A monthly list of all casual and/or probationary employees used
during that month shall be submitted to the Local Unions by the tenth (10th)
day of the following month. Such list shall show:

a. the employee's name, address, and social security number;

b. the date worked;

c. the classification of work per-formed each date, and the hours
worked; and,

d. the name, if applicable, of the employee replaced.

<PAGE>
Article 3, Section 2

This list shall be compiled on a daily basis and shall be available for
inspection by a Union representative and/or job shop steward.

If employees are hired through an employment agency, the Employer is to pay
the employment agency fee. However, if the Local Union was given equal
opportunity to furnish employees under Article 3, Section (1) (c), and if the
employee is retained through the probationary period, the fee need not be
paid until the thirty-first (31st) day of employment.

Section 3. Checkoff

The Employer agrees to deduct from the pay of all employees covered by this
Agreement the dues, initiation fees and/or uniform assessments of the Local
Union having jurisdiction over such employees and agrees to remit to said
Local Union all such deductions. Where laws require written authorization by
the employee, the same is to be furnished in the form required. The Local
Union shall certify to the Employer in writing each month a list of its
members working for the Employer who have furnished to the Employer the
required authorization, together with an itemized statement of dues,
initiation fees (full or installment), or uniform assessments owed and to be
deducted for such month from the pay of such member. The Employer shall
deduct such amount within two (2) weeks following receipt of the statement of
certification of the member and remit to the Local Union in one (1) lump sum
within three (3) weeks following receipt of the statement of certification.
The Employer shall add to the list submitted by the Local Union the names and
Social Security numbers of all regular new employees hired since the last
list was submitted and delete the names of employees who are no longer
employed. Checkoff shall be on a monthly or quarterly basis at the option of
the Union. The Local Union and Employer may agree to an alternative option
to deduct Union dues bimonthly.

When an Employer actually makes a deduction for dues, initiation fees and
assessments, in accordance with the statement of certification received from
an appropriate Local Union, the Employer shall remit same no later than three
(3) weeks following receipt of the statement of certification and in the
event the Employer fails to do so, the Employer shall be assessed ten percent
(10%) liquidated

Article 3, Section 3

damages. All monies required to be checked off shall become the property of
the entities for which it was intended at the time that such checkoff is
required to be made. All monies required to be checked off and paid over to
other entities under this Agreement shall become the property of those
entities for which it was intended at the time that such payment or checkoff
is required to be made.

Where an employee who is on checkoff is not on the payroll during the week in
which the deduction is to be made, or has no earnings or insufficient
earnings during that week, or is on leave of absence, the employee must make
arrangements with the Local Union and/or the Employer to pay such dues in
advance.

The Employer agrees to deduct from the paycheck of all employees covered by
this Agreement voluntary contributions to DRIVE. DRIVE shall notify the
Employer of the amounts designated by each contributing employee that are to
be deducted from his/her paycheck on a weekly basis for all weeks worked.
The phrase "weeks worked" excludes any week other than a week in which the
employee earned a wage. The Employer shall transmit to DRIVE National
Headquarters on a monthly basis, in one (1) check, the total amount deducted
along with the name of each employee on whose behalf a deduction is made, the
employee's social security number and the amount deducted from that
employee's paycheck. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters shall
reimburse the Employer annually for the Employer's actual cost for the
expenses incurred in administering the weekly payroll deduction plan.

The Employer will recognize authorization for deductions from wages, if in
compliance with state law, to be transmitted to Local Union or to such other
organizations as the Union may request if mutually agreed to. No such
authorization shall be recognized if in violation of state or federal law.
No deduction shall be made which is prohibited by applicable law.

In the event that an Employer has been determined to be in violation of this
Article by the decision of an appropriate grievance committee, and if such
Employer subsequently is in violation thereof after receipt of seventy-two
(72) hours' written notice of specific delinquencies, the Local Union may
strike to enforce this Article. However, such strike shall be terminated
upon the delivery there-

of. Errors or inadvertent omissions relating to individual employees shall
not constitute a violation.

Upon written request of an employee, the Employer shall make payroll
deductions for the purchasing of U. S. Savings Bonds.

Section 4. Work Assignments

The Employers agree to respect the jurisdictional rules of the Union and
shall not direct or require their employees or persons other than the
employees in the bargaining units here involved, to perform work which is
recognized as the work of the employees in said units. This is not to
interfere with bona fide contracts with bona fide unions.

Section 5.

The term "Local Union" as used herein refers to the IBT Local Union which
represents the employees of the particular Employer for the purpose of
collective bargaining at the particular place or places of business to which
this Agreement and the Supplements thereto are applicable, unless by
agreement of the Local Union involved, or a Change of Operations Committee,
or a jurisdictional award under Article 30 herein, jurisdiction over such
employees, or any number of them, has been transferred to some other Local
Union, in which case the term Local Union as used herein shall refer to such
other Local Unions. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to alter the
multi-employer, multi-union unit or single contract status of this Agreement.

Section 6. Electronic Funds Transfer

If the Employer institutes an electronic funds transfer (EFT) system,
employees may participate.

ARTICLE 4.
STEWARDS

The Employer recognizes the right of the Local Union to designate job
stewards and alternates from the Employer's seniority list. The authority of
job stewards and alternates so designated by the Local

<PAGE>
Article 4

Union shall be limited to, and shall not exceed, the following duties and
activities:

(a) The investigation and presentation of grievances with his/her
Employer or the designated company representative in accordance with the
provisions of the collective bargaining agreement;

(b) The collection of dues when authorized by appropriate Local Union
action;

(c) The transmission of such messages and information, which shall
originate with and are authorized by the Local Union or its officers,
provided such message and information;

(1) have been reduced to writing; or,

(2) if not reduced to writing, are of a routine nature and do not
involve work stoppages, slowdowns, refusal to handle goods, or any other
interference with the Employer's business.

When requested by the Union or the employee, there shall be a steward present
whenever the Employer meets with the employee about grievances or discipline
or to conduct investigatory interviews. If a steward is unavailable, the
employee may designate a bargaining unit member who is available at the
terminal at the time of the meeting to represent him/her. Meetings or
interviews shall not begin until the steward or designated bargaining unit
member is present. An employee who does not want a Union steward or
available bargaining unit member present at any meeting or interview where
the employee has a right to Union representation must waive Union
representation in writing. If the Union requests a copy of the waiver, the
Employer shall promptly furnish it.

Job stewards and alternates have no authority to take strike action, or any
other action interrupting the Employer's business, except as authorized by
official action of the Local Union. The Employer recognizes these
limitations upon the authority of job stewards and their alternates, and
shall not hold the Local Union liable for any unauthorized acts. The
Employer in so recognizing such limitations shall have the authority to
impose proper discipline, including discharge, in the event the job steward
or his/her designated alternate has taken unauthorized strike action,
slowdown or work stoppage in violation of this Agreement.

<PAGE>
Article 4

The job steward, or his/her designated alternate, shall be permitted
reasonable time to investigate, present and process grievances on the company
property without loss of time or pay during his/her regular working hours
without interruption of the Employer's operation by calling group meetings;
and where mutually agreed to by the Local Union and the Employer, off the
property or other than during his/her regular schedule without loss of time
or pay. Such time spent in handling grievances during the job steward's or
his/her designated alternate's regular working hours shall be considered
working hours in computing daily and/or weekly overtime if within the regular
schedule of the job steward. "

The job steward, or his/her designated alternate, shall be permitted
reasonable time off without pay to attend Union meetings called by the Local
Union. The Employer shall be given twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice by
the Local Union.

ARTICLE 5.

Section 1. Seniority Rights

(a) The application of seniority which has been accrued herein shall be
established in the Supplemental Agreements.

(b) Seniority shall be broken only by discharge, voluntary quit,
retirement, or more than a five (5)-year layoff.

Section 2. Mergers of Companies-General

(a) In the event the Employer is a party to a merger of lines,
seniority of the employees who are affected thereby shall be determined by
mutual agreement between the Employer and the Local Unions involved.

In the application of this Section, it is immaterial whether the transaction
is called a merger, purchase, acquisition, sale, etc. Further, it is also
immaterial whether the transaction involves merely the purchase of stock of
one (1) corporation by another, with two (2) separate corporations continuing
in existence.

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 2

(b) If such merger of companies results in the combination of terminals
or over-the-road operations, a change of operation shall be submitted to the
Co-Chairmen of the National Grievance Committee for assignment to an
appropriate Change of Operations Committee established pursuant to Article 8,
Section 6. The Change of Operations Committee shall retain jurisdiction for
one (1) year after the effective date of the Committee decision and shall
have the authority to amend its decision in the event of a substantial change
in the amount of work to be performed at the terminals or over-the-road
operations which were combined.

Combining of Terminals or Operations as a Result of Merger of Companies

(c) In the application of this Section, when terminals or operations of
two (2) or more companies are combined, as referred to above, the following
general rules shall be applied by the Employer and the Local Unions, which
general rules are subject to modification pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4 of this Article:

Active Seniority list

(1) The active employee seniority rosters (excluding those employees on
letter of layoff) shall be "dovetailed" by appropriate classification (i.e.,
road or city) in the order of each employee's full continuous classification
(road or city) seniority date that the employee is currently exercising. (The
term "continuous classification seniority" as used herein is defined as that
seniority which the employee is currently exercising and has not been broken
in the manner provided in Section 1 of this Article or by voluntary changes
in domicile not directed, approved or ordered by a Change of Operations
Committee.) The active "dovetailed" seniority roster shall be utilized first
and until exhausted to provide employment at such combined terminal or
operational location.

Active Seniority List

(2) In addition, the inactive seniority rosters (employees who are on letter
of layoff) shall be similarly "dovetailed" by appropriate classification. If
additional employees are required after the active list is exhausted, they
shall be recalled from such inactive

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 2

seniority roster and after recall such employees shall be "dovetailed" into
the active seniority roster with their continuous classification (road or
city) seniority dates they are currently exercising which shall then be
exercised for all purposes. Seniority rosters previously combining job
classifications shall be continued unless otherwise agreed.

Temporary Authority

(d) Where only temporary authority is granted in connection with any of
the transactions described above, then separate seniority lists shall
continue only when terminals or operations are not merged, unless otherwise
agreed. The Employer which is to survive will assume the obligations of both
collective bargaining agreements during the period of the temporary
authority.

In the event of temporary merger of operations which are contingent upon
approval by regulatory agencies or on other stated conditions, the seniority
of the involved employees shall continue to accrue with their original
Employer during the period of temporary merger, so that if there is no final
consummation of the merger, the seniority of such employees shall be
continued with their respective employers. However, if, on the failure of
final consummation and dissolution of the merger, one of the parties to the
proposed merger discontinues the operations which were subject to such
merger, the employees of such Employer shall be granted seniority rights for
all purposes with the other Employer only for the period of time they were
employed in such temporary merged operations.

Purchase of Rights

(e) If a merger, purchase, acquisition, sale, etc., constitutes merely
the acquisition of permits or rights, without the purchase or acquisition of
equipment or terminals, and/or without the consolidation of terminals or
operations, or in the event of the purchase of rights during bankruptcy
proceedings, the following shall apply:

Where the purchasing company has a terminal operation at the domicile of the
employees of the seller, the employees of the selling company shall be placed
on a master seniority list, and the purchasing company or companies shall
hire, after recall of the purchasing company's employees from layoff, such
employees as needed

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 2

for regular employment within the first twelve (12)-calendar months after
purchase or acquisition of permits and/or rights, and they shall be
dovetailed with full seniority. If an employee refuses a bona fide offer of
regular work opportunity with any of the purchasing companies, his/her name
shall be removed from the list. No employee hired under this provision shall
be required to serve a probationary period. After the expiration of the
aforementioned twelve (12)-calendar month period, the purchaser shall have no
further obligation to the employees of the seller.

However, if the purchasing or acquiring company does not have and/or continue
a terminal or operation at the domicile of the employees of the seller,
resulting in their layoff, such Employer shall place the laid-off employees
on a master seniority list and such Employer shall, if and when additional
regular employees are required, within a twelve (12)-calendar month period
after purchase or acquisition, and providing its employees on layoff have
been recalled, offer employment to such laid-off employees at the terminal
locations or operations to which the work has been transferred. Any such
laid-off employees accepting transfer shall be dovetailed in accordance with
their terminal seniority for work purposes, including layoff, and holding
company seniority for all fringes. If an employee refuses a bona fide offer
of regular work opportunity with any of the purchasing companies, his/her
name shall be removed from the list. No employee hired under this provision
shall be required to serve a probationary period. After the expiration date
of the aforementioned twelve (12)-calendar month period, the purchaser shall
have no further obligation to the employees of the seller. The transferring
employee shall be responsible for lodging and moving expenses.

Exclusive Cartage Operations

(f) If in connection with the transactions described in these rules the
successor Employer determines to discontinue the use of a local cartage
company, the employees of that local cartage company who have worked
exclusively on the pickup and delivery service which is retained by the
successor Employer shall be given the opportunity to continue to perform such
service as an employee of such successor Employer, and shall have their
seniority "dovetailed" as described in the above rules.

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 2

Committee Authority

(g) Area and/or State Committees created pursuant to Local Supplements
which have previously established rules of seniority, not contrary to the
provisions of such Supplements, and approved by the Joint Area Committee, may
continue to apply such rules if such rules are reduced to writing.

Section 3. Intent of Parties

(a) The parties acknowledge that the above rules are intended solely as
general standards and further that many factual situations will be presented
which necessitate different application, modification or amendment.
Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that questions of the application of
seniority rights may arise which require different treatment and it is
anticipated and understood that the Employers and Unions jointly involved
and/or the respective grievance committees may mutually agree to such
disposition of questions of seniority which in their judgment is appropriate
under the circumstances.

(b) In all instances, the disposition of questions involving the
application of seniority rights made by the parties pursuant to this Section
may be presented to the appropriate grievance committees provided herein
whose decisions shall be final and binding.

Section 4. Equipment Purchases

(a) The Employer shall not require as a condition of continued
employment, that an employee purchase truck, tractor and/or tractor and
trailer or other vehicular equipment, or that any employees purchase or
assume any proprietary interest or other obligation in the business, except
as referred to in Article 6, Section 2. The requirements of this provision
shall be maintained during the renegotiation of this Agreement unless either
party has terminated the Agreement in the manner provided.

Highest Rates Prevail

(b) If the minimum wage, hours and working conditions in the Company
absorbed differ from those minimums set forth in this

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 4

Agreement and Supplements thereto, the higher of the two shall remain in
effect for the employees so absorbed.

Cutting Seniority Board

(c) The Union reserves the right to cut the road seniority board when
the average weekly earnings fall to seven hundred dollars ($700.00) or less.
This is not to be construed as imposing a limitation on earnings. After the
Union notifies the Employer to cut the board and in the event that Employer
refuses, the Union shall immediately submit the matter to the grievance
procedure. In determining whether average weekly earnings will fall to seven
hundred dollars ($700.00) or less, only the earnings of the lower twenty-five
percent (25%) of the drivers on the seniority board, counting from the bottom
up, shall be considered. The average shall be calculated for the thirty (30)-
day period preceding the Union's original request. After such calculation is
made, the average earnings of the drivers for the top seventy-five percent
(75%) of the seniority board must also average more than seven hundred
dollars ($700.00) per week, or layoff shall be made in accordance with
seniority. The above provisions shall also apply to extra board for sleeper
drivers exclusively.

Posting Seniority list

(d) The Employer shall give the Local Union a seniority list at least
every six (6) months. The Employer shall also post a seniority list at least
once every six (6) months and shall maintain a current seniority roster at
the terminal. Protest of any employee's seniority date or position on such
list must be made in writing to the Employer within thirty (30) days after
such seniority date or position first appears, and if no protests are timely
made the dates and positions posted shall be deemed correct. Any such
protest which is timely made may be submitted to the grievance procedure.

Section 5. Work Opportunity

Over-the-road employees, who are on letter of layoff, shall be given an
opportunity to transfer to permanent over-the-road employment (prior to the
employment of new hires) occurring at other over-the-road domiciles of the
Employer located within the Conference area provided they notify the Employer
in writing of their interest in a

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 5

transfer opportunity. The offer of transfer will be made in the order of
continuous over-the-road seniority of the laid-off drivers domiciled within
the Conference area. The Employer shall be required to make additional
offers of transfer to an employee who has previously rejected a transfer
opportunity provided the employee again notifies the Employer in writing of
his/her continued interest in additional transfer opportunities. However,
the Employer will only be required to make one transfer offer in any six (6)
calendar month period. Any employee accepting such offer shall be employed
as a "new hire" and shall be placed at the bottom of the seniority board for
bidding and layoff purposes, but shall retain company seniority for fringe
benefits only. A transferring employee shall pay his/her own moving expenses
and shall, upon reporting to such new domicile, be deemed to have
relinquished his/her right to return with seniority to the domicile from
which he/she transferred.

Section 6. Dock Operations

The Rule of Forty (40) and Out shall apply to PURE DOCK WORK ONLY for the
life of the contract and shall operate as follows:

(a) The employer's obligation to each full-time regular employee
("regular employee") is to satisfy the daily and/or weekly guarantee as set
forth in a bid under the applicable Supplemental Agreement. It is understood
that a weekly guarantee under a supplement may call for four (4) or five (5)
punches depending upon whether the daily guarantee is eight (8) or ten (10)
hours.

(b) A regular employee who is assigned to or elects work on the dock
for forty (40) straight-time hours during a work week, other than through a
bid, is also subject to the Rule of Forty (40) and Out.

(c) No casual may work on the dock unless each regular employee who was on
the seniority list as of March 31, 1994, and unless each regular employee
added to the seniority list thereafter, has been offered an opportunity to
work that day at the straight time rate of pay.

(d) The Employer is not obligated to offer any overtime work on the dock to
any regular employee whose daily guarantee has been satisfied. If the
Employer does offer daily overtime to regular employees, overtime must be
offered in seniority order in accordance with the applicable Supplement.

<PAGE>
Article 5, Section 6

(e) Overtime offered to a regular employee after the guaranteed day
shall not count toward the weekly guarantee. Example: An employee has a five
(5) day regular workweek. At the close of the fourth (4th) day, the employee
has thirty-two (32) hours of regular time and four (4) hours of overtime.
The employee is guaranteed his/her fifth (5th) regular punch and at least
forty-four (44) hours for the week. Example: An employee has a four (4) day
regular workweek. At the close of the third (3rd) day, the employee has
thirty (30) hours of regular time and ten (10) hours of overtime. The
employee is guaranteed his/her fourth (4th) regular punch and at least fifty
(50) hours for the week.

(f) The Employer is not obligated to offer a premium day punch for pure
dock work to any regular employee after the weekly guarantee has been
satisfied. The Employer's obligation, if any, to provide premium day work
other than pure dock work is governed by the applicable Supplement. Example:
An employee has a five (5) day regular "work-week. At the close of the fifth
(5th) day, the employee has earned the weekly guarantee. The Employer is not
obligated to offer the employee a sixth (6th) or seventh (7th) day premium
punch for pure dock work.

(g) If all regular employees on the seniority list have worked at least
forty (40) hours in a given work week, and if the Employer offers premium day
work on the dock to regular employees, premium day work shall be offered on
the basis of seniority as defined in the applicable Supplement.

(h) A regular employee who has broken his/her daily or weekly guarantee
shall not be entitled to claim any work occurring outside of the employee's
regularly scheduled work week, except as may be provided by the applicable
Supplement.

ARTICLE 6

Section 1. Maintenance of Standards

The Employer agrees, subject to the following provisions, that all conditions
of employment in his/her individual operation relating to wages, hours of
work, overtime differentials and general working conditions shall be
maintained at not less than the highest stan-

<PAGE>
Article 6, Section 1

dards in effect at the time of the signing of this Agreement, and the
conditions of employment shall be improved whenever specific provisions for
improvement are made elsewhere in this Agreement.

Local Standards

(a) The Local Unions and the Employer shall, within one hundred eighty
(180) days following ratification of this Agreement, identify and reduce to
writing, and submit to the appropriate Conference Joint Area Committee, those
local standards and conditions practiced under this Article. Those local
standards and conditions previously practiced hereunder which are not so
submitted shall be deemed to have expired.

The appropriate Conference Joint Area Committee shall, not later than ninety
(90) days following ratification, adopt a procedure to consider the
disposition of the local standards and conditions submitted including the
right to appoint a subcommittee to make recommendations. The Conference
Joint Area Committee shall provide to the parties the opportunity to present
their views. The Conference Joint Area Committee shall have the sole
discretion to determine the disposition of the submitted local standards and
conditions which determination shall be final and binding. However, if
deadlocked, the matter shall be referred to the National Grievance Committee
for decision which shall be final and binding.

Individual Employer Standards

(b) Individual Employers may during the life of this Agreement file
with the appropriate Conference Joint Area Committee and request review of
those individual standards and conditions claimed or practiced under this
Article which exceed the provisions of this Agreement and Supplemental
Agreements.

The Conference Joint Area Committee shall develop a procedure to review the
filing including the right to appoint a subcommittee to make recommendations.
The Committee shall make every effort to adjust the matter. If the Committee
reaches agreement concerning the disposition of the individual standards or
conditions, the decision of the Committee shall be final and binding.
However, if deadlocked, the matter shall be referred to the National
Grievance Committee for decision which shall be final and binding.

<PAGE>
Article 6, Section 1

General

(c) It is agreed that the provisions of this Article shall not apply to
inadvertent or bona fide errors made by the Employer or the Union in applying
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such bona fide errors may be
corrected at any time.

No other Employer shall be bound by the voluntary acts of another Employer
when he/she may exceed the terms of this Agreement.

Any disagreement between the Local Union and the Employer with respect to
this matter shall be subject to the grievance procedure.

This provision does not give the Employer the right to impose or continue
wages, hours and working conditions less than those contained in this
Agreement.

Section 2. Extra Contract Agreements

(a) The Employer agrees not to enter into any agreement or contract
with its employees, individually or collectively, which in any way conflicts
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Any such agreement shall be
null and void.

(b) Consistent with past interpretations made by the National Grievance
Committee, wage reduction-job security plans or other programs which comply
with guidelines established by the Teamsters National Freight Industry
Negotiating Committee are not violative of this Section.

Current wage reduction-job security plans established prior to April 11 1994,
shall be subject to a revote of the unit employees as provided in this
Section within thirty (30) days of notice of ratification of the NMFA or as
soon as is legally permissible after having been approved by TNFINC to
conform with the guidelines established under this Section. Such current
plans shall remain in effect until the later of expiration of the plan or
until a replacement plan is approved by a unit employee vote as provided in
this Section. Failure to obtain the required unit employee vote under this
Section will result in restoration of full NMFA wages and wage related
fringes effective April 6, 1994, or when legally permissible.

Wage deduction under any Plan hereinafter adopted shall not exceed fifteen
percent (15%) of the applicable wage rates, and such Plan

<PAGE>
Article 6, Section 2

shall be adopted only if approved by seventy-five percent (75%) of the
employees voting by secret ballot (in which case all unit employees shall be
covered by such Plan).

See Wage Reduction-Job Security Plan Guidelines - Appendix A

(c) Every profit-sharing plan, whether or not it alters or amends the
economic conditions contained in this Agreement, must be agreed to by TNFINC.

Section 3. Workweek Reduction

If either the Fair Labor Standards Act or the Hours of Service Regulations
are subsequently amended so as to result in substantial penalties to either
the employees or the Employer, a written notice shall be sent by either party
requesting negotiations to amend those provisions which are affected.

Thereafter, the parties shall enter into immediate negotiations for the
purpose of arriving at a mutually satisfactory solution. In the event the
parties cannot agree on a solution within sixty (60) days, or mutually agreed
extensions thereof, after receipt of the stated written notice, either party
shall be allowed economic recourse.

Section 4. New Equipment

Where new types of equipment and/or operations for which rates of pay are not
established by this Agreement are put into use after April 1, 1994, within
operations covered by this Agreement, rates governing such operations shall
be subject to negotiations between the parties.

In the event agreement cannot be reached within sixty (60) days after date
such equipment is put into use, the matter may be submitted to the National
Grievance Committee for final disposition. Rates agreed upon or awarded
shall be effective as of the date equipment is put into use.

The above provisions shall also apply in the event the law (state or federal)
is changed to permit longer combination vehicles or aggregate weight
increases of 8,000 pounds or more in the weight limits that are currently
provided in the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982.

provisions of Article 35, Section 3 - Alcohol and Drug Use.

The procedure set forth in the local, state and area grievance machinery and
in the national grievance procedure may be invoked only by the authorized
Union representative or the Employer representative. Authorized

violation of this Agreement, under local grievance procedure, or as provided
herein. Time limitations regarding the filing of grievances, if not set
forth in the respective Supplemental Agreements, must appear in the Rules of
Procedure of the various grievance committees and shall apply equally to

Procedure or by mutual consent of the co-chairpersons.

5. All Employer and Union panel members for each case shall be
identified prior to the hearing. No Employer or Union representative who is
directly involved in a case may serve as a panel member except at a local

6. A grievant or steward may request Permission to present evidence or
argument in support of the case in addition to the evidence or argument

7. All grievance committees shall, upon request, issue a copy of the
grievance decision or transcript pages containing the hearing proceedings and
the decision to the grievant and/or a Local Union.

8. The Local Union and the Employer may postpone a case once each, and
any further postponements must be approved by the co-chairpersons of the
grievance committee. In those areas where there are presently local
grievance committees, each party shall be entitled to one additional
postponement at the local grievance committee level only.

Rights. The decisions of the National Grievance Committee in this regard
shall be final and binding.

Section 4.

Except in cases involving "cardinal" infractions under the applicable
Supplemental Agreement, an employee to be discharged or suspended shall be
allowed to remain on the job until the discharge or suspension is sustained
under the grievance procedure.

ARTICLE 8.
NATIONAL GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

Section 1.

All grievances or questions of interpretations arising under this National
Master Freight Agreement or Supplemental Agreements thereto shall be
processed as set forth below. If such Supplemental Agreements provide for
arbitration of discharges, such procedure shall be continued.

(a) All factual grievances or questions of interpretation arising under
the provisions of the Supplemental Agreement (or factual

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 1

grievances arising under the National Master Freight Agreement), shall be
processed in accordance with the grievance procedure of the applicable
Supplemental Agreement.

If upon the completion of the grievance procedure of the Supplemental
Agreement the matter is deadlocked, the case shall be immediately forwarded
to both the Employer and Union secretaries of the National Grievance
Committee, together with all pertinent files, evidence, records and committee
transcripts.

Any request for interpretation of the National Master Freight Agreement shall
be submitted directly to the Conference Joint Area Committee for the making
of a record on the matter, after which it shall be immediately referred to
the National Grievance Committee. Such request shall be filed with both the
Union and Employer secretaries of the National Grievance Committee with a
complete statement of the matter.

All grievances arising under the provisions of the Master Agreement (Articles
1-39) shall be filed directly with the appropriate Conference Joint Area
Committee. The Conference Joint Area Committee shall have the authority to
render a final and binding decision or direct the grievance to the
appropriate lower level committee for hearing if the grievance is not
properly claimed under the provisions of the Master Agreement. The
Conference Joint Area Committee must hear and decide such cases within ninety
(90) days of the filing of the grievance. In the event of a deadlock, the
case shall be referred to and heard by the National Grievance Committee.
Grievances arising under Article 9-Protection of Rights, Article 29-
Substitute Service and Article 32-Subcontracting shall be expeditiously
processed and maybe heard at either regularly scheduled or specially called
hearings. A grievance may be filed by any Area Conference whose members are
adversely affected by an alleged violation of Article 32, Section 4 (b)
occurring within its jurisdiction.

(b) Any matter which has been referred pursuant to Section 1 (a) above,
or any question concerning the interpretation of the provisions contained in
the National Master Freight Agreement, shall be submitted to a permanent
National Grievance Committee which shall be composed of an equal number of
employer and union representatives. The National Grievance Committee shall
meet on a regular basis, for the disposition of grievances referred to it, or
may

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 1

meet at more frequent internals, upon call of the chairman of either the
Employer or Union representatives on the National Grievance Committee. The
National Grievance Committee shall adopt rules of procedure which may include
the reference of disputed matters to subcommittees for investigation and
report, with the final decision or approval, however, to be made by the
National Grievance Committee. If the National Grievance Committee resolves
the dispute by a majority vote of those present and voting, such decisions
shall be final and binding upon all parties.

Cases deadlocked by the National Grievance Committee shall be referred to an
arbitration panel, as provided in Section 2(b) below. Procedures relating to
such referrals shall be included in the Rules of Procedure of the National
Grievance Committee.

The Employer may request the co-chairmen of the National Grievance Committee
to appoint and convene a joint Employer and Union Committee which shall have
the authority to approve uniform dispatch procedures and rules which shall
apply to the individual company's over-the-road operations.

No Employer signatory to this Agreement shall be permitted to have its own
grievance procedure.

Section 2.

(a) The National Grievance Committee by majority vote may consider and
review all questions of interpretation which may arise under the provisions
contained in the National Master Freight Agreement which are submitted by
either the National Freight Director or the designated employer
representative; and shall have the authority to reverse and set aside the
majority interpretation of any area, regional, or local grievance committee
or arbitration panel established within the Supplemental Agreements if, in
its opinion, such interpretation is contrary to the provisions set forth in
the National Master Freight Agreement, in which case the decision of the
National Grievance Committee shall be final and binding. A failure by the
National Grievance Committee to reach a majority decision on a question
concerning interpretation or on a review of a decision by a lower level
grievance committee or arbitration panel shall not be considered a deadlock
and will not be referred to arbitration. In case of a failure to reach a
majority decision in review-

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 2

ing the decision of a lower level grievance committee or arbitration panel,
the decision of the lower level grievance committee or arbitration panel
shall stand as final and binding.

(b) All grievances deadlocked at the Conference Joint Area Committee
and the National Grievance Committee shall be subject to arbitration and
processed as set forth below.

1. All grievances involving the provisions of the Supplemental
Agreements, including discharges or suspensions, which have been deadlocked
by the Conference Joint Area Committee, shall be automatically referred to a
Conference Arbitration Panel, whose decision shall be final and binding on
all parties.

2. The Conference Arbitration Panel shall consist of the Union and
Employer co-chairmen of the Conference Joint Area Committee, or their
designees, and an impartial arbitrator selected by the cochairmen. The
procedures for the selection of the arbitrator for the Conference Arbitration
Panel and the cost of arbitration shall be determined by the Rules of
Procedure of the Conference Joint Area Committee.

3. At the arbitration hearing before the Conference Arbitration Panel,
the Employer's case will be presented by a full-time employee of the Employer
and the Union's case by a full-time employee of the Local Union, and the
Rules of Procedure of the Conference Joint Area Committee shall apply.

4. The Conference Arbitration Panel shall issue a "bench decision" at
the conclusion of the grievance hearing, unless the Committee's Rules of
Procedure provides otherwise in discharge cases. Either party, however, may
request a clarification or further explanation of a previous decision
rendered by the Conference Arbitration Panel.

5. All grievances involving the Master Agreement (Articles 1-39),
which have been deadlocked by the National Grievance Committee, shall be
automatically referred to the National Arbitration Panel, whose decision
shall be final and binding on all parties.

6. The National Arbitration Panel shall consist of the Union and
Employer co-chairmen of the National Grievance Committee, or their designees,
and an impartial arbitrator selected by the co-chairmen. The procedures for
the selection of the arbitrator for the

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 2

National Arbitration Panel and the cost of arbitration shall be determined by
the Rules of Procedure of the National Grievance Committee.

7. At the arbitration hearing before the National Arbitration Panel,
the Employer's case will be presented by a full-time employee of the Employer
and/or Employer representative on the National Grievance Committee and the
Union's case by a designee of the National Freight Director and the Rules of
Procedure of the National Grievance Committee shall apply.

8. The National Arbitration Panel shall issue a "bench decision" at
the conclusion of the grievance hearing. Either party, however, may request
a clarification or further explanation of a previous decision rendered by the
National Arbitration Panel.

9. No lawyers will be permitted to present cases at any step of the
grievance procedure.

10. The decision of any arbitration panel shall be specifically limited
to the matters submitted to it and the panel shall have no authority in any
manner to amend, alter or change any provision of the Agreement.

11. If the Employer or Union challenges in court a decision issued by
any arbitration panel provided for in this Section, the cost of the
challenge, including the court costs and attorneys' fees, shall be paid by
the losing party.

12. Where Supplements under the 1991-94 NMFA provided for arbitration
in discharge cases, the procedures for such arbitration shall be maintained
under the 1994-98 Agreement.

Section 3. Work Stoppages

(a) The parties agree that all grievances and questions of
interpretation arising from the provisions of this Agreement shall be
submitted to the grievance procedure for determination. Accordingly, no work
stoppage, slowdown, walkout or lockout shall be deemed to be permitted or
authorized by this Agreement except as provided in Section 3(b) below.

A "representation dispute" in circumstances under which the Employer is not
required to recognize the Union under this Agreement

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 3

is not subject to the grievance procedure herein and the provisions
of this Article do not apply to such dispute.

(b) In the event an Employer is delinquent in its health & welfare or
pension payments in the manner required by the applicable Supplemental
Agreement, the Local Union shall have the right to take whatever action it
deems necessary until such delinquent payments are made. The Local Union
shall give the Employer a seventy-two (72)-hour, (excluding Saturdays,
Sundays, and holidays), prior written notice of the Local Union's
authorization of strike action which notice shall specify the failure to make
health & welfare or pension payments providing the basis for such strike
authorization. In no event shall the Union have the right to strike over a
dispute concerning the eligibility and/or payment of health & welfare or
pension contributions by an Employer on behalf of specific individuals, and
such disputes shall be subject to the grievance procedure.

Section 4.

(a) It is mutually agreed that the Local Union will, within two (2)
weeks of the date of the signing of this Agreement, serve upon the Employer a
written notice listing the Union's authorized representatives who will deal
with the Employer, make commitments for the Local Union generally and, in
particular, those individuals having the sole authority to act for the Local
Union in calling or instituting strikes or any stoppages of work which are
not in violation of this Agreement. The Local Union may from time to time
amend its listing of authorized representatives by certified mail. The Local
Union shall not authorize any work stoppages, slowdown, walkout, or cessation
of work in violation of this Agreement. It is further agreed that in all
cases of an unauthorized strike, slowdown, walkout, or any unauthorized
cessation of work which is in violation of this Agreement the Union shall not
be liable for damages resulting from such unauthorized acts of its members.

In the event of a work stoppage, slowdown, walkout or cessation of work, not
permitted by the provisions of Article 8, Section 3(a), alleged to be in
violation of this Agreement, the Employer shall immediately send a wire to
the appropriate Area Conference to determine if such strike, etc., is
authorized.

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 4

No strike, slowdown, walkout or cessation of work alleged to be in violation
of this Agreement shall be deemed to be authorized unless notification
thereof by telegram has been received by the Employer and the Local Union
from such Area Conference. If no response is received by the Employer within
twenty-four (24) hours after request, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays, such strike, etc., shall be deemed to be unauthorized by the Area
Conference for the purpose of this Agreement.

In the event of such unauthorized work stoppage or picket line, etc., in
violation of this Agreement, the Local Union shall immediately make every
effort to persuade the employees to commence the full performance of their
duties and shall immediately inform the employees that the work stoppage
and/or picket line is unauthorized and in violation of this Agreement. The
question of whether employees who refuse to work during such unauthorized
work stoppages, in violation of this Agreement, or who fail to cross
unauthorized picket lines at their Employer's premises, shall be considered
as participating in an unauthorized work stoppage in violation of this
Agreement may be submitted to the grievance procedure, but not the amount of
suspension herein referred to.

It is specifically understood and agreed that the Employer during the first
twenty-four (24)-hour period of such unauthorized work stoppage in violation
of this Agreement, shall have the sole and complete right of reasonable
discipline, including suspension from employment, up to and including thirty
(30) days, but short of discharge, and such employees shall not be entitled
to or have any recourse to the grievance procedure. In addition, it is
agreed between the parties that if any employee repeats any such unauthorized
strike, etc., in violation of this Agreement, during the term of this
Agreement, the Employer shall have the right to further discipline or
discharge such employee without recourse for such repetition. After the
first twenty-four (24)-hour period of an unauthorized stoppage in violation
of this Agreement, and if such stoppage continues, the Employer shall have
the sole and complete right to immediately further discipline or discharge
any employee participating in any unauthorized strike, slowdown, walkout, or
any other cessation of work in violation of this Agreement, and such
employees shall not be entitled to or have any recourse to the grievance
procedure. The suspension or discharge herein referred to shall be uniformly
applied

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 4

to all employees participating in such unauthorized activity. The Employer
shall have the sole right to schedule the employee's period of suspension.

The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Teamsters National Freight
Industry Negotiating Committee, Area Conferences, Joint Councils and Local
Unions shall make immediate efforts to terminate any strike or stoppage of
work as aforesaid which is not authorized by such organizations, without
assuming liability therefor. For and in consideration of the agreement of
the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Teamsters National Freight
Industry Negotiating Committee, Area Conferences, Joint Councils and Local
Unions affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters to make the
aforesaid efforts to require Local Unions and their members to comply with
the law or the provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions
limiting strikes or work stoppages, as aforesaid, the Associations and
Employers who are parties hereto agree that they will not hold the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Teamsters National Freight
Industry Negotiating Committee, Area Conferences, Joint Councils and Local
Unions liable or sue them in any court or before any administrative tribunal
for undertaking such efforts to terminate unauthorized strikes or stoppages
of work as aforesaid or for undertaking such efforts to require Local Unions
and their members to comply with the law or the provisions of this Agreement,
or for taking no further steps to require them to do so. It is further
agreed that signator Associations and Employers will not hold the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Teamsters National Freight Industry
Negotiating Committee, Area Conferences, Joint Councils or Local Unions
liable or sue them in any court or before any administrative tribunal for
such unauthorized work stoppages alleging condonation, ratification or
assumption of liability for undertaking such efforts to terminate strikes or
stoppages of work, or requiring Local Unions and their members to comply with
the law or the provisions of this Agreement.

The provisions of this Article shall continue to apply during that period of
time between the expiration of this Agreement and the conclusion of the
negotiations or the effective date of the successor Agreement, whichever
occurs later, except as provided in Article 39. It is understood and agreed
that failure by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Teamsters
National Freight Industry

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 4

Negotiating Committee, Area Conferences and/or Joint Councils to authorize a
strike by a Local Union shall not relieve such Local Union of liability for a
strike authorized by it and which is in violation of this Agreement.

(b) The question of whether the International Union, Teamsters National
Freight Industry Negotiating Committee, an Area Conference, Joint Council or
Local Union have met its obligation set forth in the immediately preceding
paragraphs, or the question of whether the International Union, Teamsters
National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee, an Area Conference, Joint
Council or the Local Union, separately or jointly, participated in an
unauthorized work stoppage, slowdown, walkout or cessation of work in
violation of this Agreement by calling, encouraging, assisting or aiding such
work stoppage, etc., in violation of this Agreement, or the question of
whether an authorized strike provided by Article 8, Section 3(b) is in
violation of this Agreement, or whether an Employer engaged in a lockout in
violation of this Agreement, shall be submitted to the grievance procedure at
the national level, prior to the institution of any damage suit action. When
requested, the co-chairmen of the National Grievance Committee shall
immediately appoint a subcommittee to develop a record by collecting evidence
and hearing testimony, if any, on the questions of whether the International
Union, Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee, an Area
Conference, Joint Council or Local Union have met its obligations as
aforesaid, or of Union participation or Employer lockout in violation of this
Agreement. The record shall be immediately forwarded to the National
Grievance Committee for decision. If a decision is not rendered within
thirty (30) days after the co-chairmen have convened the National Grievance
Committee, the matter shall be considered deadlocked.

A majority decision of the National Grievance Committee on the questions
presented as aforesaid shall be final and binding on all parties. If such
majority decision is rendered in favor of one (1) or more of the Union
entities, or the Employer, in the case of lockout, no damage suit proceedings
on the issues set forth in this Article shall be instituted against such
Union entity or such Employer. If, however, the National Grievance Committee
is deadlocked on the issues referred to in this subsection 4(b), the issues
must be referred to the National Arbitration Panel for resolution prior to
either party

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 4

instituting damage suit proceedings. If the National Arbitration Panel
decides that a strike was unlawful, it shall not have the authority to assess
damages. Except as provided in this subsection 4(b), agreement to utilize
this procedure shall not thereafter in any way limit or constitute a waiver
of the right of the Employer or Union to commence damage suit action.
However, the use of evidence in this procedure shall not waive the right of
the Employer or Union to use such evidence in any litigation relating to the
strike or lockout, etc., in violation of this Agreement. There shall not be
any strike, slowdown, walkout, cessation of work or lockout as a result of a
deadlock of the National Grievance Committee on the questions referred to
under this subsection 4(b) and any such activity shall be considered a
violation of this Agreement.

(c) In the event that an Employer, party to this Agreement, commences
legal proceedings against the Union after the Union's compliance with the
provisions of Article 8, Section 3(b), the Employer Associations will
cooperate in the presentation to the court of the applicable majority
grievance committee decision.

(d) Nothing herein shall prevent the Employer or Union from securing
remedies granted by law except as specifically set forth in subsection 4(b).

Section 5.

(a) In the event of strikes, work stoppages, or other activities
authorized by Article 8, Section 3(b) of this Agreement, no interpretation of
this Agreement or any Supplement thereto relating to the Employer's
obligation to make health & welfare and/or pension contributions by any
tribunal shall be binding upon the Union or affect the legality or lawfulness
of the strikes unless the Union stipulates to be bound by such
interpretation, it being the intention of the parties to resolve all
questions of interpretation by mutual agreement.

(b) It is the intention of the parties to resolve all grievances and
requests for interpretation arising under this Agreement through the
grievance procedure. However, it is understood and agreed that nothing
herein shall prevent the Employer or Union from securing remedies in those
circumstances where the application of this Agreement is contrary to law.

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

Section 6. Change of Operations

Change of Operations Committee

(a) Present terminals, breaking points or domiciles shall not be
transferred, changed or modified without the approval of an appropriate
Change of Operations Committee. Such Committee shall be appointed in each of
the Conference Areas, equally composed of Employer and Union representatives.
The Change of Operations Committee shall have the authority to determine the
seniority of the employees affected and such determination shall be final and
binding.

In the event a proposed change of operations includes the establishment of
either a new or satellite terminal as a "combination" facility with a common
city driver and dock seniority roster, when such change of operations results
in the relocation or movement of city drivers and dock employees from an
existing terminal recognizing separate (split) seniority rosters for city
drivers and dock employees, the Change of Operations Committee shall have the
authority to determine the conditions under which such a combination facility
may be established, including but not limited to, the number of city drivers
and dock employees who qualify, be allowed to follow the work to the new or
satellite combination terminal, the implementation of training programs to
qualify dock employees as city drivers and the seniority right of affected
employees to either return to the "mother" terminal and/or claim additional
driving positions at the satellite terminal within reasonable time periods
following the establishment of such combination terminal, as determined by
the Committee. Existing terminals that recognize separate city driver and
dock seniority rosters (split terminals) shall not be converted to
"combination" terminals unless and until such time as a majority of those
affected employees agree to such conversion, in which case the Change of
Operations Committee shall have the authority to determine the conditions
under which such conversion shall be implemented.

Such Committee, however, shall observe the Employer's right to designate
domiciles and the operational requirements of the business. Where the Union
raises the question as to whether or not certain proposed runs of excessive
length can be made, the Employer must be prepared to submit objective
evidence including DOT certifica-

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

tion or logs and tapes that such runs have been tested and were made within
the DOT hours of service regulations. Individual employees shall not be
redomiciled more than once during the term of this Agreement as the result of
an approved change of operations unless a merger, purchase, sale, acquisition
or consolidation of employers is involved, or unless there is proven economic
need as determined by the Change of Operations Committee based on factual
evidence presented.

Pension and health & welfare contributions paid on behalf of a redomiciled
employee shall be paid to the Funds to which the contributions were made
prior to the employee's change of domicile, and the decisions of the Change
of Operations Committee shall so specify. This Section does not apply to
employees who voluntarily transfer to new domiciles, unless such transfer is
a result of a Change of Operations Committee decision. Any dispute
concerning the appropriate fund for an Employer's contribution on behalf of a
redomiciled employee, pursuant to a Change of Operations Committee decision,
shall be referred to the National Grievance Committee. The decision of the
National Grievance Committee shall to the extent permitted by law, be final
and binding on all affected parties, including the Trust Funds.

The Change of Operations Committee shall also have jurisdiction for a period
of twelve (12) months following the opening of a new terminal to consider the
redomicile of employees who are laid off as a direct result of such opening
of a terminal. The Committee shall also have jurisdiction over the closing
of a terminal in regard to seniority, as well as to determine the conditions
under which freight may or may not be interlined into the area of a vacated
operations when necessary to retain major customers, including mandating the
use of union carriers where available. In no event will the Employer be
granted the authority to vacate a facility and interline the freight on a non-
union subsidiary of the parent company.

The above shall not apply within a twenty-five (25)-mile radius.

Change of Operations Committee Procedure

(b) The National Grievance Committee shall adopt Rules of Procedure
concerning the application and administration of this Article.

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

The Employer shall notify all affected Local Unions of the proposed change of
operations at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the hearing at the
Conference Joint Area Committee, and the Employer and the Local Unions
involved shall have a mutual responsibility to inform the employees subject
to redomicile prior to such hearing in accordance with the practice and
procedures agreed to in the respective Area Committee. Any exception or
waiver of the aforesaid twenty (20) day period shall be mutually agreed to
between the Employer and the Local Unions involved and approved by the
Conference Area Change of Operations Committee.

Moving Expenses

(c) Where an employee is required to transfer to another domicile in
order to follow employment as a result of a change of operations, the
Employer shall move the employee and assume the responsibility for proven
loss or damage to household goods due to such move, including insurance
against loss or damage. Should any employee possess household items of
unusual or extraordinary value which will be included in the move, such items
shall be declared and an appraised value determined prior to the move. The
Employer shall provide packing materials for the employee's household goods
when requested or at the employee's request pay all costs and expenses of
moving such household goods, including packing.

The Employer shall pay reasonable expenses to demount and remount an
employee's mobile home, if used as his/her residence and in such instance
shall pay normal expenses to move such mobile home, including the use of
other modes of transportation where required by law.

An employee shall have a maximum of one (1) year to move in accordance with
the provisions of an approved change of operations unless, prior to the
expiration of such year, he/she requests, in writing, an extension for a
reasonable period of time due to an unusual or special problem. The Employer
shall provide lodging for the employee at the point of redomicile, not to
exceed ninety (90) calendar days, and in addition, shall reimburse the
employee twenty-nine cents ($.29) per mile to transport one (1) personal
automobile to the new location.

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

The Employer shall not be responsible for moving expenses if the employee
changes his/her residence as a result of voluntary transfer.

None of the Employer obligations set forth in this Subsection (c)Moving
Expenses shall apply to transfers of domiciles within a fifty (50)-mile
radius.

Change of Operations Seniority

(d) The Change of Operations Committee established herein shall have
the sole authority to determine questions of the application of seniority in
those situations presented to it and in connection therewith the following
general rules shall apply, subject, however, to modification as provided by
Section 6(g) below:

Closing, Partial Closing of Terminals-Transfer of Work

(1)a. When branches, terminals, divisions or operations (hereinafter
"terminal(s)") are closed or partially closed and the work of such
terminal(s) is transferred, in whole or in part, to another terminal (s) ,
the active employees (excluding those employees on letter of layoff) at the
closed or partially closed terminal(s) shall have the right to bid into a
master seniority roster (road or city) comprised of bidders from the active
seniority rosters of closed or partially closed terminal(s) in the order of
their continuous classification (road or city) seniority. Continuous
classification seniority shall be defined as that seniority which the
employee is currently exercising and has not been broken in the manner
provided by Article 5, Section 1, or by voluntary changes in domicile not
directed, approved or ordered by a Change of Operations Committee. Employees
shall bid from the combined master seniority roster into openings at the
terminal (s) into which work is being transferred. Employees so transferring
shall be "dovetailed" into the appropriate active seniority roster at the new
terminal(s) in the order of their continuous classification seniority. Such
transfers shall be permitted prior to the recall of laid-off employees at
such gaining terminal(s). If and when additional employees are required in
excess of those who formed the combined active roster at the point of
redomicile, employees on letter of layoff at that location shall be

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

recalled. If recalled, such employees shall be "dovetailed" with their
continuous classification seniority.

In addition, the inactive seniority rosters (employees who are on letter of
layoff) at the terminal (s) from which employees are being redomiciled shall
be "dovetailed" into a master "laid off" seniority roster and such employees
shall have the same opportunities to transfer to terminal(s) within the area
of the Supplemental Agreement which are afforded to employees covered by the
provisions of subparagraph 2(b) below.

b. The following seniority bidding procedures are to be applied in all
change of operations cases that involve master pool bidding:

1. The Change of Operations Committee shall have the authority to
establish a date for purposes of determining active and inactive (on letter
of layoff or the equivalent thereof) employees at both gaining and losing
locations.

2. Affected employees at losing locations shall be allowed to bid onto
an active master pool seniority list on a dovetailed seniority basis.

3. At the time of the original bid, an employee on the active master
pool seniority list shall be afforded the opportunity to bid any available
position for which he/she is qualified at a gaining location in accordance
with his/her seniority on the master pool seniority list. In the event the
active employees at any given location elect not to bid the number of
positions being lost at that particular location, inactive employees at that
location, in accordance with their seniority, shall then be afforded the
opportunity to bid as an active employee until the number of positions being
lost at that particular location are filled. An employee who elects to
"hold" as set forth in paragraph 4 below shall not be considered as filling a
losing position. A successful bidder shall be dovetailed on the seniority
list at the location he/she bids into. The number of successful bidders from
any losing location shall not exceed, at the time of the original bid, the
number of positions lost at that location as approved by the Change of
Operations Committee.

4. An employee on the active master pool seniority list who does not
have seniority to bid the location he/she desires in the initial bid may
remain at his/her present domicile in such status as his/her

<PAGE>
Article. 8, Section 6

bidding seniority will allow. Should an opening occur during the window
period at the location to which he/she desired to transfer, he/she shall be
afforded transfer opportunity in line with his/her bidding seniority. A
successful bidder under this provision shall be dovetailed on the applicable
seniority list at the location into which he/she bids and his/her moving
expenses shall be paid in accordance with other transferring employees. The
transfer provisions of this Section shall apply only during the window
period.

5. An employee who elects to hold as set forth in Paragraph 4 above
may hold for only one (1) location and must designate that location at the
time of the original bid and may hold only for a position within the
classification the employee has seniority to bid. If an employee refuses to
accept an opportunity to claim a position he/she is holding for, the employee
shall have no further claim to a position that may become available during
the window period.

6. An employee who elects to hold, shall also be entitled to exercise
seniority to claim a voluntary move under the provisions of Article 5,
Section 5 herein, and in the event the employee accepts such a voluntary
move, he/she shall retain his/her hold position at his/her home domicile
during the remainder of the window period but shall forfeit any other
seniority rights at his/her home domicile. Should a position become
available at the location such employee is holding for and which the employee
has seniority to successfully claim, moving expenses set forth in Article 8,
Section 6(c) shall be computed from the employees original home domicile.

7. There shall not be less than a one hundred and twenty (120) day
window period in all change of operations involving master pool bidding;
provided, however, the Change of Operations Committee may extend the window
period beyond one hundred and twenty (120) days when the circumstances
involved justify a longer period of time.

Closing of Terminals-Elimination of Work

(2) a. When a terminal(s) is closed and the work of such terminal(s) is
eliminated, an employee who was formerly employed at another terminal shall
have the right to return to such former terminal and exercise his/her
continuous classification (road or city)

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

seniority, provided he/she has not been away from such former terminal for
more than a five (5)-year period.

Layoff

b. When a terminal(s) is closed and the work of such terminal(s) is
eliminated, employees who are laid-off thereby shall be given first (1st)
opportunity for available regular employment at any other terminal(s) of the
Employer within the area of the Supplemental Agreement where such employee
was employed. The obligation to offer such employment shall continue for a
period of five (5) years from the date of closing. However, the Employer
shall not be required to make more than one (1) offer during this period.
Any employee accepting such offer shall pay his/her own moving expenses. If
hired, he/she shall go to the bottom of the seniority board for bidding and
layoff purposes, but shall retain company seniority for fringe benefits only.

Opening of Terminals

(3) When a new terminal(s) is opened (except as a replacement for
existing operations or a new division in a locality where there are existing
operations), the Employer shall offer to those employees, if any, affected
thereby the opportunity to transfer to regular positions in the new
terminal(s) in the order of such employee's continuous classification (road
or city) seniority date as defined herein. Upon arrival at such new
location, such employees shall be "dovetailed" with their continuous
classification (road or city) seniority date together with other employees so
transferring.

This provision is not intended to cover situations where there is replacement
of an existing operation or where a new division is opened in a locality
where there is an existing terminal. In these latter situations, those
employees laid off at the existing facilities shall have first (lst)
opportunity for employment at the new operation in accordance with their
continuous classification (road or city) seniority date, and upon arrival
shall be similarly "dovetailed" If all regular full-time positions are not
filled in this manner, then the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall
apply.

(4) When a Company which has an established Local Cartage Operation,
which has been cleared by system OTR drivers, seeks to

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

establish a new OTR domicile there , the Company shall first file for a
Change of Operations giving transfer opportunity, with regard to the initial
complement, to OTR drivers from those system OTR domiciles that previously
serviced such Local Cartage Operation with reasonable regularity. Such
transfer opportunity shall remain in effect for any additions to the initial
complement for a period of not less than 120 calendar days, after which
further additions to such complement shall be hired at the locality where
such new OTR domicile was established.

(5) Any employee redomiciled by an approved change of operations or
voluntary transfer to another domicile shall upon reporting to such new
domicile be deemed to have relinquished his/her right to return, with
seniority, to the domicile from which he/she was transferred, except under
another approved change of operations. Employees who avail themselves of the
transfer privileges because they are on layoff at their original terminal may
exercise their seniority rights if work becomes available at their original
terminal during the five (5)-year layoff period allowed them at their
original terminal.

Definition of Terms

(e) The term "continuous classification seniority" as used in this
Agreement is defined as that seniority which the employee is currently
exercising and has not been broken in the manner provided in Article 5,
Section 1, or by voluntary changes in domicile not directed, approved or
ordered by a Change of Operations Committee.

Qualifications

(f) In all transfers referred to in this Section, the employee must be
qualified to perform the job by experience in the classification. If a
driver test is required, such test shall be given by a qualified driver-
supervisor or driver.

Intent of Parties

(g) The parties acknowledge that the above rules are intended solely as
general standards and further that many factual situations will be presented
which necessitate different application, modification or amendment.
Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that

<PAGE>
Article 8, Section 6

questions of the application of seniority rights may arise which require
different treatment and it is anticipated and understood that the Employers
and Unions jointly involved and/or the respective grievance committees may
mutually agree to such disposition of questions of seniority which in their
judgment is appropriate under the circumstances.

The Change of Operations Committees, as provided herein or in the
Supplemental Agreements, shall have the authority to determine the
application of seniority in those situations presented to them. In all
cases, the seniority decisions of the Joint Committees, including the Change
of Operations Committees and subcommittees established by the National Master
Freight Agreement and the respective Supplemental Agreements, shall be final
and binding.

Section 7.

All local, area and national grievance committees as constituted under this
Agreement shall have the jurisdiction and power to decide grievances which
arose under the preceding agreements and supplements thereto, applying,
however, the contract under the grievance arose.

ARTICLE 9.
PROTECTION OF RIGHTS

Section 1. Picket Lines: Sympathetic Action

It shall not be a violation of this Agreement, and it shall not be cause for
discharge, disciplinary action or permanent replacement in the event an
employee refuses to enter upon any property involved in a primary labor
dispute, or refuses to go through or work behind any primary picket line,
including the primary picket line of Unions party to this Agreement, and
including primary picket lines at the Employer's places of business.

Section 2. Struck Goods

It shall not be a violation of this Agreement and it shall not be cause for
discharge, disciplinary action or permanent replacement if any employee
refuses to perform any service which his/her Employer

<PAGE>
Article 9, Section 2

undertakes to perform as an ally of an Employer or person whose employees are
on strike and which service, but for such strikes, would be performed by the
employees of the Employer or person on strike.

Section 3.

Subject to Article 32 - Subcontracting, hereof, the Employer agrees that it
will not cease or refrain from handling, using, transporting, or otherwise
dealing in any of the products of any other Employer or cease doing business
with any other person, or fail in any obligation imposed by the Motor
Carriers Act or other applicable law, as a result of individual employees
exercising their rights under this Agreement or under law, but the Employer
shall, notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, when necessary,
continue doing such business, including pickup or delivery to or from the
Employer's terminal and to or from the premises of a shipper or consignee.

Section 4.

The layover provision of the applicable Supplemental Agreement shall apply
when the Employer knowingly dispatches a road driver to a terminal at which a
primary picket line has been posted as a result of the exhaustion of the
grievance procedure, or after proper notification of a picket line permitted
by the collective bargaining agreement, or economic strikes occurring after
the expiration of collective bargaining agreements, or to achieve a
collective bargaining agreement. In such event and upon his/her request, a
driver shall be provided first class public transportation to his/her home
terminal, plus be paid a minimum of eight (8) hours or actual time spent
while returning, whichever is greater. The Employer shall determine the mode
of transportation to be utilized.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 10.
LOSS OR DAMAGE

Section 1.

In the event loss, damage or theft of freight, equipment, materials, or
supplies is incurred as a direct result of a willful gross negligent act by
an employee in the performance of assigned work, when such act knowingly may
result in such loss, damage or theft, the employee may be held responsible
for such acts and may be required to assume liability for any such loss,
damage or theft, in whole or in part. The term "willful, gross negligent
acts" is intended to describe independent actions of any employee who
knowingly violates established rules or policies that, when adhered to,
clearly prevent loss, damage or theft described herein. Employees shall not
be held responsible or required to assume liability for loss or damage or
theft unless clear proof of willful, gross negligence is shown. In no event
will an employee be held responsible for, or required to assume any liability
for any loss, damage or theft when performing assigned work in a manner as
specifically instructed by a supervisor. This Article shall not be utilized
in any manner to hold an employee liable for any loss or damage of equipment
under any conditions or for any damage to cargo as a result of a vehicular
accident.

Section 2.

Prior to an employee being charged with the responsibility and liability for
any loss, damage or theft because of willful gross negligent acts on the part
of the employee, a hearing shall be held with the Local Union, the employee
and the Employer. Employees who are found to be liable and required to make
restitution for such liability, shall not then be subject to any further
disciplinary action. Any disputes between the parties may be referred to the
grievance procedure of the applicable Area Supplemental Agreement and the
National Master Freight Agreement.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 11.
BONDS AND INSURANCE

Should the Employer require any employee to give bond, cash bond shall not be
compulsory, and any premium involved shall be paid by the Employer. The
primary obligation to procure the bonds shall be on the Employer. If the
Employer cannot arrange for a bond within ninety (90) days, it must so notify
the employee in writing. Failure to so notify shall relieve the employee of
the bonding requirement. If proper notice is given, the employee shall be
allowed thirty (30) days from the date of such notice to make his/her own
bonding requirements, standard premiums only on said bond to be paid by the
Employer. A standard premium shall be that premium paid by the Employer for
bonds applicable to all other of its employees in similar classifications.
Any excess premium is to be paid by the employee. Cancellation of a bond
after once issued shall not be cause for discharge unless the bond is
cancelled for cause which occurs during working hours, or due to the employee
having given a fraudulent statement in obtaining said bond.

Every driver must maintain a valid chauffeur's license and be covered by
insurance. If an Employer cannot cover a driver under an existing fleet
policy, the Employer will promptly apply to the state assigned risk-pool to
provide any comparable coverage. During the pendency of the application and
until insurance is obtained, the driver will not be terminated, but will be
taken out of driving service. When any comparable insurance is obtained, the
employee will be responsible for paying any excess over the standard charges.

ARTICLE 12.
UNIFORMS

The Employer agrees that if any employee is required to wear any kind of
uniform as a condition of his/her continued employment, such uniform shall be
furnished and maintained by the Employer, free of charge, at the standard
required by the Employer. Said uniforms shall be made in the United States
by union vendors, if possible.

The Employer shall replace all clothing, glasses, hearing aids and/or
dentures not covered by company insurance or worker's compen-

<PAGE>
Article 12

sation which are destroyed or damaged in a wreck or fire with company
equipment.

The Employer has the right to establish and maintain reasonable standards for
wearing apparel and personal grooming.

ARTICLE 13.
PASSENGERS

No driver shall allow anyone, other than employees of the Employer who are on
duty, to ride on his truck except by written authorization of the Employer,
or except in cases of emergency arising out of disabled commercial equipment
or an Act of God. No more than two (2) people shall ride in the cab of a
tractor unless required by government agencies or the necessity of checking
of equipment. This shall not prohibit drivers from picking up other drivers,
helpers or others in wrecked or broken down motor equipment and transporting
them to the first (1st) available point of communication, repair, lodging or
available medical attention. Nor shall this prohibit the transportation of
other drivers from the driver's own company at a delivery point or terminal
to a restaurant for meals.

ARTICLE 14.
COMPENSATION CLAIMS

Section 1. Compensation Claims

(a) The Employer agrees to cooperate toward the prompt disposition of
employee on-the-job injury claims. The Employer shall provide worker's
compensation protection for all employees even though not required by state
law, or the equivalent thereof, if the injury arose out of or in the course
of employment.

(b) At the time an injury report is turned in, the Employer shall
provide the injured employee with an information sheet briefly outlining the
procedure for submitting a worker's compensation claim to include the name,
address and phone number of the company's worker's compensation
representative and other pertinent information relative to claim payment.

<PAGE>
Article 14, Section 1

(c) An employee who is injured on the job, and is sent home, or to a
hospital, or who must obtain medical attention, shall receive pay at the
applicable hourly rate for the balance of his/her regular shift on that day.
An employee who has returned to his/her regular duties after sustaining a
compensable injury who is required by the worker's compensation doctor to
receive additional medical treatment during his/her regularly scheduled
working hours shall receive his/her regular hourly rate of pay for such time.

(d) Road drivers sustaining an injury while being transported in
company-provided transportation for Company purposes at a layover terminal
shall be considered as having been injured on the job.

(e) In the event that an employee sustains an occupational illness or
injury while on a run away from his/her home terminal, the Employer shall
provide transportation by bus, train, plane, or automobile to his/her home
terminal if and when directed by a doctor.

(f) The Employer agrees to provide any employee injured locally
transportation at the time of injury, from the job to the medical facility
and return to the job, or to his/her home if required.

(g) In the event of a fatality arising in the course of employment,
while away from the home terminal, the Employer shall return the deceased to
his/her home at the point of domicile.

(h) The Employer may publish reasonable safety rules and procedures and
provide the Local Union with a copy Failure to observe such reasonable rules
and/or procedures shall subject the employee to disciplinary action in
accordance with the disciplinary procedures in the applicable Supplemental
Agreement. However, the time limitation relative to prior offenses shall be
waived to permit consideration of the employee's entire record of failure to
observe reasonable safety rules and/or procedures resulting in lost time
personal injuries. This provision does not apply to vehicular accidents.

Section 2. Modified Work

(a) The Employer may establish a modified work program designed to
provide temporary opportunity to those employees who are unable to perform
their normal work assignments due to a disabling on-the-job injury.
Recognizing that a transitional return-to-work program offering both physical
and mental therapeutic benefits will

<PAGE>
Article 14, Section 2

accelerate the rehabilitative process of an injured employee, modified work
programs are intended to enhance worker's compensation benefits and are not
to be utilized as a method to take advantage of an employee who has sustained
an industrial injury.

(b) Implementation of a modified work program shall be at the
Employer's option and shall be in strict compliance with applicable federal
and state worker's compensation statutes. Acceptance of modified work shall
be on a voluntary basis at the option of the injured employee. However,
refusal to accept modified work by an employee, otherwise entitled to
worker's compensation benefits, may result in a loss or reduction of such
benefits as specifically provided by the provisions of applicable federal or
state worker's compensation statutes. Employees who accept modified work
shall continue to be eligible to receive "temporary partial" worker's
compensation benefits as well as all other entitlements as provided by
applicable federal or state worker's compensation statutes.

c) At facilities where the Employer has a modified work program in
place, temporary modified assignments shall be offered in seniority order to
those regular full time employees who are temporarily disabled due to a
compensable worker's compensation injury and who have received a detailed
medical release from the attending physician clearly setting forth the
limitations under which the employee may perform such modified assignments.
Once a modified work assignment is made and another person is injured, the
second person must wait until a modified work opening occurs, regardless of
seniority. All modified work assignments must be made in strict compliance
with the physical restrictions as outlined by the attending physician. All
modified work program candidates must be released for eight (8) hours per
day, five (5) days per week. The Employer at its option, may make a modified
work offer of less than eight (8) hours per day where such work is expected
to accelerate the rehabilitative process and the attending physician
recommends that the employee works back to regular status or up to eight (8)
hours per day by progressively increasing daily hours. A copy of any release
for modified work must be given to the employee before the modified work
assignment begins.

It is understood and agreed that those employees who, consistent with
professional medical evaluations and opinion, may never be

<PAGE>
Article 14, Section 2

expected to receive an unrestricted medical release, shall not be eligible to
participate in a modified work program.

In the event of a dispute related to conflicting medical opinion, such
dispute shall be resolved pursuant to established worker's compensation law
and/or the method of resolving such matters as outlined in the applicable
Supplemental Agreement. In the absence of a provision in the Supplemental
Agreement, the following shall apply:

When there is a dispute between two (2) physicians concerning the release of
an employee for modified work, such two (2) physicians shall immediately
select a third (3rd) neutral physician within seven (7) days, whose opinion
shall be final and binding on the Employer, the Union and the employee. The
expense of the third (3rd) physician shall be equally divided between the
Employer and the Union. Disputes concerning the selection of the neutral
physician or back wages shall be subject to the grievance procedure.

For locations where the Employer intends to implement a modified work program
or has a modified work program in place, the Local Union shall be provided
with a copy of the current form(s) being used for employee evaluation for
release and general job descriptions. This information shall be general in
nature, not employee specific.

When a modified work assignment is made, the employee shall be provided with
the hours and days he/she is scheduled to work as well as the nature of the
work to be performed in writing. A copy of this notice shall also be
submitted to the Local Union.

(d) Modified work shall be restricted to the type of work that is not
expected to result in a re-injury and which can be performed within the
medical limitations set forth by the attending physician. In the event the
employee, in his/her judgment, is physically unable to perform the modified
work assigned, he/she shall be either reassigned modified work within his/her
physical capabilities or returned to full "temporary total" worker's
compensation benefits. In the event a third (3rd) party insurance carrier
refuses to reinstate such employee to full temporary total disability
benefits, the Employer shall be required to pay the difference between the
amount of the benefit paid by such third (3rd) party insurer and full total
temporary disability benefits. Determination of physical capabilities shall
be based on the attend-

<PAGE>
Article 14, Section 2

ing physician's medical evaluation. Under no conditions will the injured
employee be required to perform work at that location subject to the terms
and conditions of the National Master Freight Agreement or its Area
Supplemental Agreements. Prior to acceptance of modified work, the affected
employee shall be furnished a written job description of the type of work to
be performed.

(e) The modified workday and workweek shall be established by the
Employer within the limitations set forth by the attending physician.
However, the workday shall not exceed eight (8) hours, inclusive of coffee
breaks where applicable and exclusive of a one-half (1/2) hour meal period
and the workweek shall not exceed forty (40) hours, Monday through Friday, or
Tuesday through Saturday, unless the nature of the modified work assignment
requires a scheduled workweek to include Sunday. Whenever possible, the
Employer will schedule modified work during daylight hours, Monday through
Friday, or during the same general working hours and on the same workweek
that the employee enjoyed before he/she became injured. In the case of an
employee whose workdays and/or hours routinely varied, the Employer will
schedule the employee based on the availability of the modified assignment
being offered. Any alleged abuse of the assignment of workdays and workhours
shall be subject to the grievance procedure.

(f) Modified work time shall be considered as time worked when
necessary to satisfy vacation and sick leave eligibility requirements as set
forth in the National Master Freight Agreement and/or its applicable Area
Supplemental Agreements. In addition to earned vacation pay as set forth in.
the applicable Area Supplemental Agreements, employees accepting modified
work shall receive prorated vacation pay for modified work performed based on
the weekly average modified work pay. The only time modified work is used in
prorating vacation is when the employee did not qualify under the applicable
Supplemental Agreement.

Holiday pay shall first be paid in accordance with the provisions of the
applicable Supplemental Agreement as it relates to on-the-job injuries. Once
such contractual provisions have been satisfied, holidays will be paid at the
modified work fate which is the modified work wage plus the temporary partial
disability benefit.

Sick leave and funeral leave taken while an employee is performing modified
work will be paid at the modified work rate, which is

<PAGE>

Article 14, Section 2

the modified work wage plus the temporary partial disability benefit. Unused
sick leave will be paid at the applicable contract rate where the employee
performed modified work and qualified for the sick leave during the contract
year.

(g) The Employer shall continue to remit contributions to the
appropriate health & welfare and pension trusts during the entire time period
employees are performing modified work. Continuation of such contributions
beyond the period of time specified in the Supplemental Agreement for on-the-
job injury shall be required. Provisions of this Section shall not be
utilized as a reason to disqualify or remove an employee from the modified
work program.

(h) Employees accepting modified work shall receive temporary partial
benefits as determined by each respective state workers' compensation law,
plus a modified work wage when added to such temporary partial benefit, shall
equal not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of forty (40) hours' pay he/she
would otherwise be entitled to under the provisions of the applicable Area
Supplemental Agreement for the first six (6) months from the date the
modified work assignment commences. After this initial six (6)-month period,
the percentage shall increase to ninety percent (90%) for the duration of
each individual modified work assignment. The Employer shall not refuse to
assign modified work to employees based solely on such employees reaching the
ninety percent (90%) wage level. Such refusal shall be considered an abuse
of the program and shall be subject to the grievance procedure. Modified
work assignments beginning or ending within a workweek shall be paid on a
prorated basis; one (1) day equals one-fifth (1/5th).

Where an employee participates in a wage reduction-job security plan as
provided in Article 6, Section 2, the eighty-five percent (85%) and ninety
percent (90%) as specified herein shall be based on the wage provisions of
the applicable Supplemental Agreement and not the wage reduction-job security
plan; provided, however, no such employee shall receive a modified work wage
in excess of that provided in the applicable wage reduction-job security
plan.

(i) Employees accepting modified work shall not be subject to
disciplinary action provisions of the Supplemental Agreements unless such
violation involves an offense for which no prior warning notice is required
under the applicable Supplemental Agreement

<PAGE>
Article 14, Section 2

(Cardinal Sins). Additionally, the provisions of Article 35, Section 3(a),
shall apply.

(j) Alleged abuses of the modified work program by the Employer and any
factual grievance or request for interpretation concerning this Article shall
be submitted directly to the Conference Joint Area Committee for the making
of a record only, after which it shall be immediately referred to the
National Grievance Committee. Proven abuses may result in a determination by
the National Grievance Committee that would withdraw the benefits of this
Article from that Employer, in whole or in part, in which case affected
employees shall immediately revert to full worker's compensation benefits.

Section 3.

The Union and the Employer agree to abide by the provisions of the Americans
with Disabilities Act. The Employer shall negotiate with the Local Union
before providing a reasonable accommodation to a qualified bargaining unit
employee.

ARTICLE 15.
MILITARY CLAUSE

Employees enlisting or entering the military or naval service of the United
States shall be granted all rights and privileges provided by applicable law.

The Employer shall pay the health & welfare and pension fund contributions on
employees on leave of absence for training in the military reserves or
National Guard, but not to exceed fourteen (14) days, providing such absence
affects his/her credits or coverage for health & welfare and/or pensions.

Effective the date of ratification, the Employer shall continue to pay health
& welfare contributions for regular active employees involuntarily called to
active duty status from the military reserves or the National Guard during
periods of war or military conflict. Such contributions shall only be paid
for a maximum period of twelve (12) months.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 16.
EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY

Preamble

It is agreed that all parties covered by this Agreement shall comply with all
applicable federal, state and local regulations pertaining to subjects
covered by Article 16. Failure to do so shall be subject to the grievance
procedure, in accordance with Articles 7 and 8 of the NMFA, and any other
remedies prescribed by law after the procedures contained in this Agreement
are exhausted.

Section 1. Safe Equipment

The Employer shall not require employees to take out on the streets of
highways any vehicle that is not in a safe operating condition, including,
but not limited to, equipment which is acknowledged as overweight or not
equipped with the safety appliances prescribed by law. It shall not be a
violation of this Agreement or basis for discipline where employees refuse to
operate such equipment unless such refusal is unjustified.

It shall also not be a violation of this Agreement or considered an
unjustified refusal where employees refuse to operate a vehicle when such
operation constitutes a violation of any federal rules, regulations,
standards, or orders applicable to commercial motor vehicle safety or health,
or because of the employee's reasonable apprehension of serious injury to
himself/herself or the public due to the unsafe condition of such equipment.
The unsafe conditions causing the employee's apprehension of injury must be
of such nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then
confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a bona fide danger of
an accident, injury, or serious impairment of health, resulting from the
unsafe condition. In order to qualify for protection under this provision,
the employee must have sought from the Employer, and have been unable to
obtain, correction of the unsafe condition.

All equipment which is refused because it is not mechanically sound or
properly equipped shall be appropriately tagged so that it cannot be used by
other employees until the maintenance department has adjusted the complaint.
After such equipment is repaired, the

<PAGE>
Article 16, Section 1

Employer shall place on such equipment an `OK' in a conspicuous place so the
employee can see the same.

Section 2. Dangerous Conditions

Under no circumstances will an employee be required or assigned to engage in
any activity involving dangerous conditions of work, or danger to person or
property or in violation of any applicable statute or court order, or in
violation of a government regulation relating to safety of person or
equipment.

The term "dangerous conditions of work" does not relate to the type of cargo
which is hauled or handled.

Section 3. Accident Reports

Any employee involved in any accident or cargo spill incident, involving any
hazardous or potentially polluting product, shall immediately report said
accident or spill incident and any physical injury sustained. When required
by his/her Employer, the employee, before starting his/her next shift, shall
make out an accident or incident report in writing on forms furnished by the
Employer and shall turn in all available names and addresses of witnesses to
the accident or incident. The employee shall receive a copy of the accident
or incident report that he/she submits to his/her Employer. Failure to
comply with this provision shall subject such employee to disciplinary action
by the Employer.

Section 4. Equipment Reports

Employees shall immediately, or at the end of their shift, report all defects
of equipment.

(a) Such reports shall be made on a suitable form furnished by the
Employer and shall be made in multiple copies, one (1) copy to be retained by
the employee and one (1) copy to be made available for inspection by the next
driver operating the unit. Such copy will remain in the truck. Any alleged
violation of the above shall not be cause for refusal of the equipment, but
shall be subject to the grievance procedure. The Employer shall not ask or
require any employee to take out equipment that has been reported by any
other employee as being in an unsafe operating condition until the same

<PAGE>
Article 16, Section 4

has been repaired or is certified by a mechanical department that no repairs
are needed and the unit is safe to drive.

(b) When the occasion arises where an employee gives written report on
forms in use by the Employer of a vehicle being in an unsafe working or
operating condition and receives no consideration from the Employer, he/she
shall take the matter up with the officers of the Union who will take the
matter up with the Employer. However, in no event shall an employee be
required to take out on the streets or highways a vehicle that is not in a
safe operating condition or in violation of any federal rules, regulations,
standards, or orders applicable to commercial motor vehicle safety as
provided in Section I of this Article.

Section 5. Qualifications on Equipment

If the Employer or government agency requests a regular employee to qualify
on equipment requiring a classified or special license, or in the event an
employee is required to qualify (recognizing seniority) on such equipment in
order to obtain a better job opportunity with his/her Employer, the Employer
shall allow such regular employee the use of the equipment so required in
order to take the examination on the employee's own time.

Costs of such license required by a government agency will be paid for by the
employee.

An employee unable to successfully pass the new DOT Commercial Driver's
License (CDL) examination will be allowed to take a leave of absence for a
period not to exceed one (1) year provided the employee makes a bona fide
effort to pass the test each time the opportunity presents itself.

Section 6. Equipment Requirements

(a) All tractors must be equipped as necessary to allow the driver to
safely enter and exit the cab, and hook and unhook the air hoses. All
equipment used as city peddle trucks, and equipment regularly assigned to
peddle runs, must have steps or other similar device to enable drivers to get
in and out of the body. All twin trailers used in LTL pick-up and delivery
operation with roll up doors purchased after April 1, 1985 shall be equipped
with a hand hold and a DOT bumper which may serve as a step.

<PAGE>
Article 16, Section 6

(b) The Employer shall install heaters and defrosters on all trucks and

oscillate and have an adjustable lumbar support, height, backrest and seat
tilt.

(e) Tractors added to the road fleet and assigned to road operations on
a regular basis, whether newly manufactured or not newly manufactured, shall
be air conditioned. Tractors now in service which are not air conditioned
shall be retrofitted by July 1, 1985.

The Conference Joint Area Committee may, upon application of either the
Employer or the Local Union, waive the installation of such air conditioning
equipment as a result of climatic conditions or other standards established
by the Committee.

(f) When the Employer weighs a trailer, the over-the-road driver shall
be furnished the resulting weight information along with his/her driver's
orders.

(g) All company trailers shall be marked for height.

(h) No driver shall be required to drive a tractor designed with the
cab under the trailer.

(i) All road and city equipment shall have a speedometer operating with
reasonable accuracy.

(j) The following minimum measurements for fuel tank placement shall
apply to tractors added to the fleet after March 1, 1981, with the
understanding that there shall be no retrofit of equipment currently in use:
(1) front of fuel tank to rear of front tire-not less than 4 inches; (2) rear
of fuel tank to front of duals-not less than 4 inches; (3) bottom of fuel
tank to ground-provide clearance not less than 7.5 inches, measured on a flat
surface; and (4) all fuel tank measurements as stated herein include
brackets, return lines, etc. in determining clearance.

<PAGE>
Article 16, Section 6

Any alleged violation of the above requirements shall not be cause for
refusal of the equipment, but shall be subject to the grievance procedure as
a safety and health issue.

(k) The following shall apply to shock absorbers on tractor front axles
with the purchase of newly manufactured tractors which are placed in service
after March 1, 1981, and with the understanding that there shall be no
retrofit of equipment currently in use:

Where the manufacturer recommends and provides shock absorbers as standard
equipment with the tractor front suspension assembly, properly maintained
shocks on such new equipment shall be considered as a necessary and integral
part of that assembly. Where the manufacturer does not recommend and provide
shock absorbers as standard equipment with the tractor front suspension
assembly, shocks shall not be considered as a necessary or integral part of
that suspension system.

Any alleged violation of the above, including maintenance of existing
equipment, shall not be cause for refusal of equipment but shall be subject
to the grievance procedure as a safety and health issue.

(l)(1) The following shall apply for the minimum interior dimensions
of the sleeper berths on newly manufactured over-the-road tractors purchased
and placed in service after January 1, 1987.

a. Length - 80 inches; b. Width - 34 inches; and, c. Height - 24 inches.

It is understood that a "manufacturing tolerance of error" of one inch (1')
is permissible, provided the original specifications were in conformity with
the above recommended dimensions. It is understood that there shall be no
retrofit of equipment currently in service.

(2) Interior cab dimensions. Effective January 1, 1988, the Employer,
in placing orders for newly manufactured over-the-road tractors, shall
request of the manufacturer in writing that there will be compliance with as
many of the following October, 1985 SAE recommended practices as possible:
J941-E, J1052, Jl521, Jl522, J1517, J1516, and J1100. The carrier, upon
request, will furnish proof to the National Safety and Health Committee that
a request was made to the manufacturer for compliance with the aforementioned
SAE recommended practices.

<PAGE>
Article 16, Section 6

(m) The Employer and the Union recognize the need for safe and
efficient twin-trailer operations. Accordingly, the parties agree to the
following:

(1) The Employer shall make available to all drivers involved in the
twin-trailer operations training in the proper procedures for the safe
hooking and unhooking of dollies and jiff-lox. Upon request, the Company
will furnish to the Union a copy of their training program.

incorporated by reference in this Agreement. The Program

<PAGE>
Article 16, Section 8

will be printed and distributed to all members/employees in line with
regulatory guidelines. The parties further agree that as new federally
mandated changes occur, they too will become part of this Agreement. The
Guidelines contained in the printed Program are minimums, and are not
intended to prevent the Employer from providing additional training or
protection which would enhance safety and health to the employees. All
regular employees shall be paid for such training at their regular straight
time hourly rate.

Section 9. Union Liability

Nothing in this Agreement or its Supplements relating to health, safety or
training rules or standards shall create any liability or responsibility on
behalf of the Union for any job-related injury or accident to any employee or
any other person. Further, the Employer will not commence legal action
against the Union as a result of the Union's negotiation of safety standards
contained in this Agreement or failure to properly investigate or follow-up
Employer compliance with those safety standards.

Section 10. Government Required Safety & Health Reports

The Employer shall provide, upon written request by the Local Union, a copy
of any occupational incident report that is required to be filed with a
federal government agency on safety and health subjects addressed by Article

ARTICLE 20.
UNION AND EMPLOYER COOPERATION

Section 1. Fair Day's Work for Fair Day's Pay

The parties agree at all times as fully as it may be within their power to
cooperate so as to protect the long-range interests of the employees, the
Employers signatory to this Agreement, the Union and the general public
served by the members of the trucking industry party to this Agreement.

The Union and the Employer recognize the principle of a fair day's work for a
fair day's pay; that jobs and job security of employees

<PAGE>
Article 20, Section I

working under this Agreement are best protected through efficient and
productive operations of the Employer and the trucking industry; and that
this principle shall be recognized in the administration of this Agreement
and its Supplements and the resolution of all grievances thereunder.

Section 2. Joint Industry Development
Committee

The parties recognize that the unionized LTL industry is losing market share
and jobs to competitors. The parties recognize that it is in the interest of
the Union and the Employers to return the LTL industry to health and to
foster its growth. Only if the industry prospers and grows will the
industry's employees, whom the Union represents, achieve true job and
economic security. Only if the industry prospers and grows will the industry
have access to the resources it needs to capitalize and be competitive.

Recognizing that returning the industry to health should be a cooperative,
long-term effort, the Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating
Committee ("TNFINC") and the Employer Association agree to establish a Joint
Industry Development Committee to serve as a vehicle for this effort. The
purpose of the Committee will be to perform the following tasks: address the
principles of an intermodal truckload agreement as a means of capturing new
market and creating additional city/P&D jobs; develop data to evaluate and
monitor industry and competitor productivity, costs and operations;
catalogue, compare and evaluate workrules, practices and procedures among the
various NMFA supplements and the Employer Association's companies; make joint
recommendations to the parties about any changes in the NMFA and its
supplements that the Committee believes should be considered in the next
round of negotiations for the new NMFA; solicit grants for joint activities
that benefit the industry and its bargaining unit employees, such as driver
training schools; and monitor pending legislation and executive action on the
national, state and local level that may affect the welfare of the industry
and, where appropriate, jointly recommend actions that further the interests
of the industry and its bargaining unit employees and jointly present the
views of the Joint Committee to legislative and executive bodies.

<PAGE>
Article 20, Section 2

The Committee shall operate as a labor-management committee within the
meaning of Section 302(c) (9) of the LMRA, as amended, established and
functioning so as to fulfill one or more of the purposes set forth in Section
6 (c) (2) of the Labor Management Cooperation Act of 1978. The Committee
shall have the full support of both the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters and the Employer Association in the Committee's efforts to identify
problems, formulate plans to solve those problems and, where appropriate,
conduct joint activities designed to implement the plans.

The Chairman of TNFINC will appoint five (5) Union representatives to the
Joint Committee. The Employer Association will appoint five (5) Employer
representatives to the Joint Committee. Appointments to the Joint Committee
will be made in a manner to assure that there are persons serving who are
familiar with the full range of operations undertaken by Employer
Association's carriers under all supplemental agreements. The Joint
Committee shall meet at least quarterly and may appoint continuing
subcommittees to carry out specific tasks. The Union and Employer
representatives to the Joint Committee will establish procedures for the
operation of this Committee.

Section 3.

The Union and the Employers will establish a Health Benefits Joint Committee
to review the provision of health benefits to employees covered by this
Agreement. This Committee is charged with the critical responsibility of
ensuring that employee health benefits are made available to employees
covered by the terms of the NMFA in a secure and cost-efficient manner.

It is anticipated that this Committee shall serve as a source of continuing
study regarding the most efficient manner of providing health benefits to
covered employees and as a source of continuing guidance, particularly in
those instances where an existing Health & Welfare Fund is not capable of
maintaining benefits within the contribution level provided under the terms
of this Agreement. To the extent covered employees might suffer a reduction
in benefits due to the inability of a Health & Welfare Fund to continue to
provide existing benefits within the contribution amount provided hereunder,
the Joint Committee shall have the responsibility of making recommendations
to the affected employees and their Local Unions

<PAGE>
Article 20, Section 3

concerning alternative methods, if possible, of securing comparable health
benefits.

The Union and the Employers will establish procedures for the operation of
this Committee. The Committee will make periodic reports and recommendations
to TNFINC and Employers concerning the payment for health services by the
jointly administered Health & Welfare Funds receiving contributions under the
terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 21.
UNION ACTIVITIES

Any employee, member of the Union, acting in any official capacity whatsoever
shall not be discriminated against for his/her acts as such officer of the
Union so long as such acts do not interfere with the conduct of the
Employer's business, nor shall there be any discrimination against any
employee because of Union membership or activities.

A Union member elected or appointed to serve as a Union official shall be
granted a leave of absence during the period of such employment, without
discrimination or loss of seniority rights, and without pay.

ARTICLE 22.
OWNER-OPERATORS

Section 1.

This Agreement governs the use of "owner-operators" (as defined below) by all
Employers signatory to this Agreement. The parties recognize that there are
two (2) distinct types of C4 owner-operators" covered by this Agreement:
employee owner-operators and nonemployee owner-operators. Generally,
employee owner-operators are drivers who work exclusively for a single
Employer on a regular basis and who perform the same type of work as the
Employer's regular employee drivers, and it is only that kind of owner-
operator that is covered by this Article. Conversely, there are owner-
operators who do hauling work on an intermittent basis (e.g., trip leas-

<PAGE>
Article 22, Section 1

es) for several different Employers. As such, the latter may be utilized
only to perform work which may be properly subcontracted under Article 32
(e.g., overflow loads).

Section 2.

For purposes of this Article, the term "owner-operators" means any employee
driver who performs unit work and who operates trucking equipment which
he/she owns and leases to an Employer signatory to this Agreement. The
certificate and title to the leased equipment of an owner-operator must be in
the name of the owner-operator (or the owner-operatives secured creditor) not
the Employer Further, it is understood and agreed that whenever the term
"owner-operator" is used in this Article, it means employee owner-driver
only, and nothing in this Article shall apply to any equipment leased except
when the owner is also employed as a driver. However, it is expressly
understood that in the case of equipment under permanent lease (with a
minimum thirty (30)-day cancellation clause) from a fleet owner, individuals
operating such equipment shall operate it as employees of the Employer.

Section 3.

For purposes of this Article, hired or leased equipment shall be operated by
an employee of the Employer. The performance of unit work by owner-operators
shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and Supplements
relating to owner-operators. The Employer expressly reserves the right to
control the manner, means and details of, and by which, the owner-operator
performs his/her services, as well as the ends to be accomplished, and shall
not permit others or delegate to others the authority to do so. All employee
owner-operators shall be treated under the provisions of this Agreement and
any applicable Supplements to this Agreement, in the same manner as other
employee drivers. Accordingly, the wages and working conditions of an
employee owner-operator (including pension and health & welfare
contributions) shall be in full accordance with those provided to other
employee drivers under this Agreement. Employee owner-operators, however,
shall have seniority under Article 5 of this Agreement only as drivers.
Consistent with their "employee" status, employee owner-operators shall be
affiliated by permanent lease with their Employer and shall operate
exclusively for that Employer and no other interest.

<PAGE>
Article 22, Section 4

Section 4.

Employers must use their own available equipment, together with all leased
equipment under a permanent lease (with a minimum thirty (30) days'
cancellation clause) before hiring any extra equipment. The hiring of such
extra equipment shall be subject to the provisions of Article 32
Subcontracting.

Section 5.

Separate checks shall be issued by the Employer for driver's wage and
equipment rental, except as provided in Section 6. At no time shall the
equipment check be for less than actual miles operated. Separate checks for
drivers shall not be deducted from the minimum truck rental revenue. The
driver shall turn in time directly to the Employer. All monies due the owner-
operator may be held not longer than two (2) weeks, except where the lease of
equipment agreement is terminated, and in such case, all monies due the
operator may be held no longer than forty-five (45) days from the date of
termination of the operation of the equipment.

Section 6.

Payment for equipment service shall be handled by the issuance of a check for
the full mileage operated, tonnage or percentage, less any agreed advances.
A statement of any charges by the Employer shall be issued at the same time,
but shall not be deducted in advance.

Section 7.

The owner-operator shall have complete freedom to purchase gasoline, oil,
grease, tires, tubes, etc., including repair work, at any place where
efficient service and satisfactory products can be obtained at the most
favorable prices.

Section 8.

There shall be no deduction pertaining to equipment operation for
any reason whatsoever.

Section 9.

The Employer hereby agrees to pay road or mile tax, public liabili-

<PAGE>
Article 22, Section 9

ty and property damage insurance, cargo insurance, bridge tolls, fees for
certificates, permits and travel orders, fines and penalties for inadequate
certificates, license fees, weight tax and wheel tax, and for loss of driving
time due to waiting at state lines. The Employer shall also pay social
security tax, unemployment insurance tax and worker's compensation insurance,
and any other federal or state (or local) payroll tax regularly paid by
Employers for and on behalf of employees in the jurisdiction where operations
are conducted, and any additional cost for international registration plan
plate (IRP) over the base plate cost. It is expressly understood that the
owner-driver shall pay the license fees in the state in which title is
registered. All tolls, no matter how computed, must be paid by the Employer,
regardless of any agreement to the contrary.

All taxes or additional charges imposed by law relating to actual truck
operation and use of highways, no matter how computed or named, shall be paid
by the Employer, excepting only vehicle licensing, as such, in the state
where title is registered.

Section 10.

There shall be no interest or handling charge on earned money
advanced prior to the regular payday.

Section 11.

(a) All Employers hiring or leasing equipment owned and driven by the
owner-operator shall file a true copy of the lease agreement covering the
owner-driven equipment with the Conference Joint Area Committees. The terms
of the lease shall cover only the equipment owned and driven by the owner-
operator and shall be in complete accord with the minimum rates and
conditions provided herein, plus the full wage rate and supplementary
allowances for drivers as embodied elsewhere in this Agreement.

(b) (1) It is recognized by the parties to this Agreement that
inordinately low equipment rental fees threaten the wage rates of employee
drivers covered by this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties have established
and set out below the appropriate minimum rental fees for equipment leased by
either employee or non-employee owner-operators, excluding owner-operators
covered by the Iron and Steel Supplements.

c. Single Axle Trailers and 40 to 53 Foot Tandem trailer Only.

Effective April 1, 1994: 6.25 cents per mile (with $8.00 minimum
daily guarantee).

d. Tandem Axle, 40 Foot or Over, Trailer Only

Effective April 1, 1994: 7.25 cents per mile (With $10.00 minimum daily
guarantee).

Minimum daily guarantee for trailers does not apply to Saturday, Sunday or
holidays. It applies to either the first (lst) day or last day of use, but
not both.

The above rates also apply to deadheading.

(2) Future adjustments in the compensation for owner-operator equipment
shall be based on the latest available published ICC rates for diesel fuel
prices and shall be adjusted beginning the first (1st) of the month following
notice of ratification and the first (lst) of every month thereafter in
accordance with the schedule in paragraph 4 of this Section.

<PAGE>
Article 22, Section 11

In the event the ICC publishes a correction in any diesel fuel price, any
changes will be made on a prospective basis only.

It is understood that where the Employer provides subsidized fuel purchase
plans to owner-operators the minimum lease rates, as determined under
paragraph 4 of this Section, will reflect the actual fuel price paid by the
owner-operator rather than the ICC diesel fuel price.

If the ICC discontinues publishing the diesel fuel price series, the parties
will meet and agree upon an alternate index. If the parties cannot agree on
a suitable replacement diesel fuel price series, the matter shall go
immediately to the National Grievance Committee for the establishment of such
a diesel fuel price series.

(3) This Article excludes owner-operators covered by the Iron and Steel
Supplemental Agreements.

The terms and conditions of Article 22, Section 9 shall apply to this
Article.

Nothing herein this Article shall apply to leased equipment not owned by the
driver. The minimum rates set forth above result from the joint
determination of the parties that such rates represent only the actual cost
of operating such equipment. The parties have not attempted to negotiate a
profit for the owner-operator. The determination of an appropriate minimum
equipment rental rate is intended only to prevent owner-operators from
leasing their equipment at a loss and thus forcing owner-operators to
undercut the wage rates in this Agreement.

The parties agree that the above rates are established for the use of normal
freight industry equipment. In the event specialized equipment is required,
the rates will be established by the Committee referred to in Article 22, or
by other procedures mutually agreeable to the parties.

(4) Following are the minimum lease rates to be paid to owner-operators
for various levels of diesel fuel prices.

Article 22, Section 11

(c) The Employer shall not, as a condition of continued employment,
require an owner-operator who is hired with tractor and trailer to separate
his/her equipment and pull Employer owned or other leased trailers. The
Employer will not reduce the equipment rental below the contract percentage
to accomplish the above purpose.

Section 12.

Driver-owner mileage scale does not include use of equipment for pick-up or
delivery at point of origin terminal or point of destination terminal, but
shall be subject to negotiations between the Local Union and the Employer.
Such negotiations shall be only for the purpose of protecting the wage rate
of the driver only as an employee. Failure to agree shall be submitted to the
grievance procedure. Owner-operator operations are to be terminal-to-
terminal, except where there are no local employees to make such deliveries
or as otherwise agreed to in this Agreement.

Section 13.

There shall be no reductions where the present basis of payment is higher
than the minimums established herein for this type of operation. Where an
owner-operator is paid on a percentage or tonnage basis and the operating
company reduces its tariff, the percentage or tonnage basis of payment shall
be automatically adjusted so that the owner-operator suffers no reduction in
equipment rental or wages, or both.

Section 14.

It is further agreed that the intent of this clause and this entire Agreement
is to assure the payment of the scale of wages as provided in this Agreement
and to prohibit the making and carrying out of any plan, scheme or device to
circumvent or defeat the payment of wage scales provided in this Agreement.
This clause is intended to prevent the continuation of or formation of
combinations or corporations or so-called lease of fleet arrangements whereby
the driver is required to and does periodically pay losses sustained by the
corporation or fleet arrangement, or is required to accept less than the
actual cost of the running of his/her equipment, thus, in fact, reducing his
scale of pay.

<PAGE>
Article 22, Section 15

Section 15.

It is further agreed that if the Employer requires that the owner-operator
sell his/her equipment to the Employer, directly or indirectly, the owner-
operator shall be paid the fair true value of such equipment. Copies of the
instruments of sale shall be filed with the Union and, unless objected to
within ten (10) days, shall be deemed satisfactory. If any question is
raised by the Union as to such value, the same shall be submitted to
grievance, as above set forth, for determination.

Section 16.

If an employee voluntarily agrees to purchase equipment from the Employer,
and if there is a dispute over the value of such equipment, the fair true
value of such equipment shall be determined as provided herein. However, no
employee may be required to purchase or sell equipment as a condition of
employment, nor shall the nature of any operation or business be changed to
require such result, unless such change is approved by the Teamsters National
Master Committee. No owner-operator lease shall be cancelled for the purpose
of depriving employees of employment.

Section 17.

It shall be considered a violation of this Agreement should any Employer
deduct from rental of equipment the increases provided for by the 1994
Amendments, or put into effect any means of evasion to circumvent actual
payment of increases agreed upon effective for the period starting April 1,
1994 and ending March 31, 1998.

Section 18.

All leases, agreements or arrangements between Employers and owner-operators
shall contain the following statement:

The equipment which is the subject of this lease shall be driven by an
employee of the lessee at all times that it is in the service of the lessee.
If the lessor is hired as an employee to drive such equipment, he/she shall
receive as rental compensation for the use of such equipment no less than the
minimum rental rates, allowances and conditions (or the equivalent thereof as
approved by the National

<PAGE>
Article 22, Section 18

Committee referred to in Section 11) established by the then current
appropriate Area Supplemental Agreement for this type of equipment and, in
addition thereto, the full wage rate and supplementary allowances for drivers
(or the equivalent thereof as approved by the National Committee referred to
in Section 11).

The lessee expressly reserves the right to control the manner, means and
details of and by which the driver of such leased equipment performs his/her
services, as well as the ends to be accomplished, and shall not permit or
delegate to others the authority to do so.

The lessor (owner-operator) shall not be required to buy or sell any
equipment (or separate his/her trailer if covered by this lease) as a
condition of employment.

To the extent that any provision of this lease may conflict with the
provisions of such appropriate Area Supplemental Agreement as it applies to
equipment driven by the owner, such provision of this lease shall be null and
void and the provisions of such Agreement shall prevail.

The Employer shall make available to the Union, upon request, all documents
and reports relating to service by owner-operators which are required to be
maintained by law.

ARTICLE 23.
SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT

Upon discharge, the Employer shall pay earned wages due to the employee
during the first (lst) payroll department working day following the date of
discharge. Vacation pay for which the discharged employee is qualified shall
be paid no later than the first (lst) day following final determination of
the discharge.

Upon a permanent terminal closing and/or cessation of operations, the
Employer shall pay all money due to the employee during the first (lst)
payroll department working day following the date of the terminal closing
and/or cessation of operations.

Failure to comply shall subject the Employer to pay liquidated damages in the
amount of eight (8) hours I pay for each day of delay. Upon quitting, the
Employer shall pay all money due to the employee on the next regular payday
for the week in which the resignation occurs.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 24.
INSPECTION PRIVILEGES AND EMPLOYER
IDENTIFICATION

Authorized agents of the Union shall have access to the Employer's
establishment during working hours for the purpose of adjusting disputes,
investigating working conditions, collection of dues, and ascertaining that
the Agreement is being adhered to; provided, however, there is no
interruption of the firm's working schedule.

Company representatives, if not known to the employee, shall identify
themselves to employees prior to taking disciplinary action.

Safety or other company vehicles shall be identified when stopping
company equipment.

ARTICLE 25.
SEPARABILITY AND SAVINGS CLAUSE

If any article or section of this Agreement or of any Supplements thereto
should be held invalid by operation of law or by any tribunal of competent
jurisdiction, or if compliance with or enforcement of any article or section
should be restrained by such tribunal pending a final determination as to its
validity, the remainder of this Agreement and of any Supplements thereto, or
the application of such article or section to persons or circumstances other
than those as to which it has been held invalid or as to which compliance
with or enforcement of has been restrained, shall not be affected thereby.

In the event that any article or section is held invalid or enforcement of or
compliance with which has been restrained, as above set forth, the parties
affected thereby shall enter into immediate collective bargaining
negotiations after receipt of written notice of the desired amendments by
either Employer or Union for the purpose of arriving at a mutually
satisfactory replacement for such article or section during the period of
invalidity or restraint. There shall be no limitation of time for such
written notice. If the parties do not agree on a mutually satisfactory
replacement within-sixty (60) days after receipt of the stated written
notice, either party shall be permitted all legal or economic recourse in
support of its demands notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to
the contrary.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 26.
TIME SHEET, TIME CLOCKS, AND
VIDEO CAMERAS

Section 1. Time Sheets and Time Clocks

In over-the-road or line operations, the Employer shall provide and require
the employee to keep a time sheet or trip card showing the arrival and
departure at terminal and intermediate stops and cause and duration of all
delays, time spent loading and unloading, and same shall be turned in at the
end of each trip. In local cartage operations, a daily time record shall be
maintained by the Employer at its place of business. All Employers who
employ five (5) or more people at any terminal shall have time clocks at such
terminals.

Employees shall punch their own time cards.

The Employer shall maintain sign-in and sign-out records at terminals. All
road drivers must record their arrival, departure, origin and destination.

The Employer may substitute updated time recording equipment for time cards
and time sheets. However, a paper trail shall be maintained.

The Employer may computerize the sign-in and sign-out records. However, at
all times, the Union shall have reasonable access to a paper record of the
sign-in and sign-out records.

Section 2. Use of Video Cameras for Discipline and Discharge

The Employer may not use video cameras to discipline or discharge an employee
for reasons other than theft of property or dishonesty. If the information
on the video tape is to be used to discipline or discharge an employee, the
Employer must provide the Local Union, prior to the hearing, an opportunity
to review the video tape used by the Employer to support the discipline or
discharge. Where a Supplement imposes more restrictive conditions upon use
of video cameras for discipline or discharge, such restrictions shall
prevail.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 27.
EMERGENCY REOPENING

In the event of war, declaration of emergency, imposition of mandatory
economic controls, the adoption of national health care or any congressional
or federal agency action which has a significantly adverse effect on the
financial structure of the trucking industry or adverse impact on the wages,
benefits or job security of the employees, during the life of this Agreement,
either party may reopen the same upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice
and request renegotiation of the provisions of this Agreement directly
affected by such action.

Upon the failure of the parties to agree in such negotiations within the
subsequent sixty (60)-day period, thereafter, either party shall be permitted
all lawful economic recourse to support its request for revisions. If
governmental approval of revisions should become necessary, all parties will
cooperate to the utmost to attain such approval. The parties agree that the
notice provided herein shall be accepted by all parties as compliance with
the notice requirements of applicable law, so as to permit economic action at
the expiration thereof.

ARTICLE 28.
SYMPATHETIC ACTION

In the event of a labor dispute between any Employer, party to this
Agreement, and any International Brotherhood of Teamsters' Union, parties to
this or any other International Brotherhood of Teamsters' Agreement, during
the course of which dispute such Union engages in lawful economic activities
which are not in violation of this or such other Agreement, then any other
affiliate of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, having an agreement
with such Employer shall have the right to engage in lawful economic activity
against such Employer in support of the above first-mentioned Union
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the
International Brotherhood of Teamsters' Agreement between such Employer and
such other affiliate, with all of the protection provided in Article 9.

ARTICLE 29.
SUBSTITUTE SERVICE

Section 1. Piggyback Operations

(a) An Employer shall not use piggyback over the same route where the
Employer has established relay runs or through runs except to move overflow
freight or as otherwise provided in Section 3 herein.

(b) It is recognized and agreed that there were two distinct and
separate types of rail operations in effect on April 1, 1994: (1) the use of
rail to move overflow freight; and (2) approved and/or agreed to rail
operations. Accordingly, the provisions of this Section 1 shall apply in its
entirety to the overflow rail operations. This Section 1 shall only apply to
the approved and/or agreed to rail operations to the extent it has been
historically applied prior to April 1, 1994.

If a driver is available (which includes the two (2) -hour period of time
prior to end of his/her rest period) at point of origin when a trailer leaves
the yard for the piggyback ramp, such driver's runaround compensation shall
start from the time the trailer leaves the yard. Available regular drivers
at relay points shall be protected against runarounds if a violation occurred
at the point of origin.

If the Employer does not have an over-the-road domicile at the point of
origin, the Employer shall protect against runaround the available drivers at
the first relay point over which the freight would normally move had it not
been placed on the rail. Available regular drivers at relay points shall be
protected against runaround if a violation occurred at the first relay point.

The Employer shall not reduce or fail to increase the road driver complement,
including the addition of equipment, at the point of origin for the purpose
of creating an overflow of freight to avoid the application of this Section.

(c) When an Employer utilizes piggyback operations as a substitute
service to deliver overflow loads and such substitute service is matched in
both directions (East to West and West to East or North to South and South to
North), it is understood and agreed by the parties that the Employer will be
required to add a sufficient number of employees and the necessary amount of
equipment to

<PAGE>
Article 29, Section 1

move trailers over the road when the volume of matched loads reaches a level
to insure efficient utilization of equipment and regular work opportunity for
the added employees.

It is the intent of the parties in this Section 1 to maximize the movement of
freight over the Employer's established relay runs, thereby minimizing the
use of substitute service.

The record keeping requirement set out in Section 2 below will provide the
Union with the basis of monitoring the use of such piggyback operation.

(d) The Employer agrees the non-employee owner-operators, birdy-back,
fishy-back and barge operations will not be used over the same routes where
the Employer has established relay runs during the term of this Agreement.

Section 2. Maintenance of Records

(a) Trailers piggybacked as a substitute service as provided in Section
1 are to be signed in and signed out on the regular dispatch sheet in road
operations, and where there are no road operations sign-in and sign-out
sheets shall be maintained at an appropriate location, including trailers
taken to and from the rail yard by city employees. These sheets will be made
available, upon request, to the drivers for a period of thirty (30) days.
The Employer shall report in writing on a monthly basis to the Local Union at
the rail origin point, or in cases where there are no drivers domiciled at
the rail origin point to the Local Union at the first driver relay point
affected, the number of trailers put on the rail at the rail origin point.
The Employer shall also report the origin, destination, trailer/load number,
trailer weight and the time the trailer/load leaves the Employer's yard for
the rail yard. The time limits set forth in the Supplemental Agreement for
filing claims based upon the monthly report shall commence to run upon the
receipt of the report by the Local Union.

(b) With regard to use of substitute service as provided in Section 1,
full and complete records of handling, dispatch and movement of such units
system-wide shall be kept by the Employer and a report, which will include
the date of all outbound rail movement, all points of origin and destination,
all trailer numbers and the name of each railroad/routing, shall be sent on a
quarterly basis to the office of the National Freight Director and the
affected Area Conference Freight Director.

<PAGE>
Article 29, Section 2

Where inspection of the records indicates that piggyback is being used as a
substitute for road operations, as defined in Section 1 of this Article, over
an established relay, rather than handling overflow traffic, the grievance
procedure may be invoked at the appropriate Conference Joint Area Committee
by the Area Conference Freight Director or the office of the National Freight
Director to provide a reasonable remedy for the improper usage of piggyback,
including the revocation of the use of substitute service, for repeated
violations over such relay.

(c) With regard to trailers moved on rail as an approved intermodal
operations set forth in Section 3, the Employer shall report in writing on a
monthly basis to each Local Union affected, the number of trailers put on the
rail at the rail origin points of the approved intermodal operations. The
Employer shall also report the origin, destination, trailer/load number,
trailer weight and the time the trailer/load leaves the Employer's yard for
the rail yard.

In addition, the Employer shall, on a quarterly basis, send to the office of
the National Freight Director a report containing the total intermodal rail
miles as reported on line 6 of the ICC Schedule 600 annual report and the
total miles as reported on line 7 of the ICC Schedule 600 annual report.

Section 3. Intermodal Service

(a) The parties recognize that in 199 1, Congress passed the Intermodal
Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and declared the policy of the
United States to be one of promoting the development of a national intermodal
transportation system consisting of all forms of transportation in a unified,
interconnected manner. The parties have, therefore, entered into this
Agreement to enhance the Employer's opportunities to secure the benefits
which flow from this national policy of encouraging intermodal
transportation, including long-term stable and secure employment. At the
same time, the parties recognize the need to minimize and provide for the
impact which intermodal operations may have on certain employees covered by
this Agreement.

(b) Use of Intermodal Service

1. Subject to the conditions set forth hereinafter, an Employer may
establish a new intermodal service over the same route where the Employer has
established relay runs or through runs.

<PAGE>
Article 29, Section 3

Present relay or through operations may not be reduced, modified or changed
in any other manner as the result of the implementation of a new intermodal
service until such time as the proposed intermodal operation has been
approved by the National Intermodal Committee. The Employer shall submit to
the National Intermodal Committee an application for approval which shall
identify the road operation(s) the intended intermodal service will reduce
and/or eliminate; a list identifying the name and seniority date of each
driver affected by the intended intermodal service(s); and a list by domicile
of each of the road drivers' openings available.

In the event the National Intermodal Committee is unable to agree on whether
or not the Employer's proposed intermodal operations meet the criteria set
forth below, the proposed operation shall not be approved until such time as
those issues are resolved. This provision shall not be utilized as a method
to delay and/or deny a proposed intermodal operation when the criteria set
forth below have been clearly satisfied.

(a) There shall be no more than two (2) intermodal changes approved
during the term of this Agreement; and

(b) No more than ten (10) percent of the Employer's total active road
driver seniority list as of April 1, 1994 shall be affected by the intermodal
changes approved during the term of this Agreement.

In the event a proposed intermodal operation also includes the transfer of
work that is subject to the provisions of Article 8, Section 6, the National
Intermodal Committee, after approving the intermodal operation, shall refer
the transfer of work portion to the appropriate Change of Operations
Committee in accordance with the provisions of Article 8, Section 6.

2. An approved intermodal operation that provides service over
established relay and/or through operations shall include protection for all
bid drivers during each dispatch day and all extra board drivers during each
dispatch week at each of the affected domiciles.

For purposes of determining the weekly protection for extra board drivers,
the affected driver's average weekly earnings during the previous four (4)
week period in which the driver had normal earnings shall be considered the
weekly protection when violations occur.

<PAGE>
Article 29, Section 3

3. When transporting any shipment by intermodal service within the
Employer's terminal network, the Employer shall utilize its drivers subject
to the applicable respective area supplemental agreements to pickup such
shipments from the shipper at point of origin and/or the Employer's terminal
and deliver them to the applicable intermodal exchange point. The Employer
also shall use its drivers to deliver intermodal shipments to the consignee
or the Employer's terminal. A driver maybe required to drive through other
terminal service areas to the intermodal exchange point to pickup and deliver
intermodal shipments without penalty.

4. Total intermodal rail miles included on line 6 of the ICC Schedule
600 annual report shall not exceed 28 percent of the Employer's total miles
as reported on line 7 of the ICC Schedule 600 annual report during any
calendar year. In the event intermodal rail miles exceed this 28 percent
maximum, the Employer shall be required to remove an appropriate amount of
freight from the rail and add a corresponding number of drivers at each
affected domicile.

The National Intermodal Committee shall establish rules and guidelines that
will allow the Union the opportunity to verify and audit the Employer's ICC
rail reports. In the event the Union establishes through the grievance
procedure that an Employer has falsified the ICC reports in order to increase
the maximum amount of intermodal rail miles permitted under this Article, the
remedy for such a violation shall include a cessation of the Employer's
affected intermodal service until such time as the issue has been resolved to
the satisfaction of the Union.

In the event the ICC rail and/or line haul miles reporting requirements are
modified and/or eliminated, the parties will meet to develop a substitute
reporting procedure consistent with those of the ICC.

1. Rail operations that are subject to the provisions of Section 1 (b)
above shall not result in the layoff or involuntary transfer of any driver at
any affected road driver domicile.

2. During the term of this Agreement, an Employer shall be permitted
no more than two (2) Intermodal Changes whereby the Employer may reduce
and/or eliminate existing road operation(s)

<PAGE>
Article 29, Section 3

through the use of intermodal service. It is specifically agreed that a
total of no more than ten (10) percent of the Employer's total active road
driver seniority list as of April 1, 1994, shall be affected by the
Intermodal Changes during the term of this Agreement.

Any road driver who is adversely affected by an approved Intermodal Operation
and would thereby be subject to layoff, or who is on layoff at an affected
domicile at the time an Intermodal Operation is approved, shall be offered
work opportunity at other road driver domiciles within the Employer's system.
In the event there is more than one (1) domicile involved, the drivers
adversely affected shall be dovetailed on a master seniority list and an
opportunity to relocate shall be offered on a seniority basis. The "hold"
procedures set forth in Article 8, Section 6 of the NMFA shall be applicable.

Drivers who relocate under this provision shall be dovetailed on the
applicable seniority list at the domicile they bid into. Health & welfare
and pension contributions shall be remitted in accordance with the provisions
of Article 8, Section 6(a) and moving and lodging shall be paid in accordance
with Article 8, Section 6(c) of the NMFA.

It is understood and agreed that the intent of this provision is to provide
the maximum job security possible to those drivers affected by the use of
intermodal service. Therefore, the number of drivers on the affected
seniority lists at rail origin points at the time an intermodal change
becomes effective shall not be reduced during the term of this Agreement
other than as may be provided in subsequent changes of operations. Drivers
on the affected seniority lists at gaining domiciles at the time an
intermodal change becomes effective, shall not be permanently laid off during
the term of this Agreement.

Section 4. National Intermodal Committee

The parties shall establish a National Intermodal Committee composed of four
(4) Union representatives appointed by the Union Chairman of the National
Grievance Committee and four (4) Employer representatives appointed by the
Employer Chairman of the National Grievance Committee.

The National Intermodal Committee shall establish rules of procedure to
govern the manner in which proposed intermodal operations are to be heard,
procedures for resolving intermodal issues

<PAGE>
Article 29, Section 4

and procedures for establishing pre-hearing guidelines. Any grievance
concerning the application or interpretation of Article 29, Section 2 or
concerning any issues that may arise from an approved intermodal operation
provided for in this Section 3, shall be first referred to the National
Intermodal Committee. If the National Intermodal Committee is unable to
reach a decision on an interpretation or grievance, the issue will be
referred to the National Grievance Committee.

ARTICLE 30.
JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES

In the event that any dispute should arise between any Local Unions, parties
to this Agreement or Supplements thereto, or between any Local Union, party
to this Agreement or Supplements thereto and any other Union, relating to
jurisdiction over employees or operations covered by such Agreements, the
Employer and the Local Unions agree to accept and comply with the decision or
settlement of the Unions or Union bodies which have the authority to
determine such dispute, and such disputes shall not be submitted to
arbitration under this Agreement or Supplements thereto or to legal or
administrative agency proceedings. Pending such determination, the Employer
shall not be precluded from seeking appropriate legal or administrative
relief against work stoppages or picketing in furtherance of such dispute.

ARTICLE 31.
MULTI-EMPLOYER, MULTI-UNION UNIT

The parties agree to become a part of the multi-employer, multi-union
bargaining unit established by this National Master Freight Agreement, and to
be bound by the interpretations and enforcement of this National Master
Freight Agreement and Supplements thereto.

<PAGE>
ARTICLE 32.
SUBCONTRACTING

Section 1. Work Preservation

For the purpose of preserving work and job opportunities for the employees
covered by this Agreement, the signatory Employer agrees that no operation,
work or services of the kind, nature or type covered by, or presently
performed by, or hereafter assigned to, the collective bargaining unit by the
signatory Employer will be subcontracted, transferred, leased, diverted,
assigned or conveyed in full or in part (hereinafter referred to as `divert'
or `subcontract'), by the Employer to any other plant, business, person, or
non-unit employees, or to any other mode of operation, unless specifically
provided and permitted in this Agreement.

In addition, the signatory Employer agrees that it will not, as hereinafter
set forth, subcontract or divert the work presently performed by, or
hereafter assigned to, its employees to non-employee owner-operators or other
business entities owned and/or controlled )y the signatory Employer, or its
parent, subsidiaries or affiliates.

Section 2. Diversion of Work - Parent or Subsidiary Companies

The parties agree that for purposes of this Article it shall be presumed that
a diversion of work in violation of this Agreement occurs when work presently
and regularly performed by, or hereafter assigned to, employees of the
signatory Employer has been lost and the lost work is being performed in the
same manner (including transportation by owner-operators and independent
contractors) by an entity owned and/or controlled by the signatory Employer,
its parent, or a subsidiary within sixty (60) days of the loss of the work.
The burden of overcoming such presumption in the grievance procedure shall be
upon the Employer.

Section 3. Subcontracting

The Employer may subcontract work when all of his/her regular employees are
working, except that in no event shall road work presently performed or runs
established during the life of this

<PAGE>
Article 32, Section 3

Agreement be farmed out. No dock work shall be farmed out except for
existing situations established by agreed-to past practices. Overflow loads
may be delivered pursuant to the provisions of Article 29. Loads may also be
delivered by other agreed-to methods or as presently agreed to. Other
persons performing subcontracted work which is permitted herein shall receive
no less than the equivalent of the economic terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the applicable Supplement.

The signatory Employer shall maintain records identifying persons performing
subcontracted work permitted by this Agreement. Said records shall be made
available for inspection by the Local Union(s) in the locality affected by
such subcontract work.

The normal, orderly interlining of freight for peddle on occasional basis,
where there are parallel rights, and when not for the purpose of evading this
Agreement, may be continued as has been permitted by past practice provided
it is not being done to defeat the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4. Expansion of Operations

(a) Adjoining Over-The-Road and Local Cartage

It is understood and agreed that the provisions of the National Master
Freight Agreement shall be applied, without evidence of union representation
of the employees involved, to all subsequent additions to, and extensions of,
current over-the-road or local cartage operations which adjoin and are
controlled and utilized as part of such current operations of the signatory
Employer, or any other entity, not operated wholly independently of the
signatory Employer within the meaning of Article 3, Section 1(a). In this
regard, the parties agree that newly-established terminals and consolidations
of terminals which are controlled and utilized as part of a current operation
will be covered by the National Master Freight Agreement and applicable Over-
the-Road and Local Cartage Supplemental Agreements.

<PAGE>
Article 32, Section 4

(b) New Pick-Up and Delivery Adjoining

Current Operations

It shall not, however, be a violation of this Article if, during the term of
this Agreement, an Employer commences pick-up and delivery operations which
adjoin and are controlled and utilized as part of such current operations
with other than its own employees when there is insufficient business to
economically justify the establishment of its own employer-operated pick-up
and delivery service. However, the above exception shall thereafter
terminate when sufficient economic justification develops so as to warrant
the establishment and maintenance of the terminal operation by such Employer,
in which event, the Employer shall institute a pick-up and delivery operation
or continue such operations with companies which maintain wage standards
established by this Agreement in the area where the work is conducted. This
exception shall not apply in any circumstance where an Employer is presently
engaged in pick-up and delivery operations either through his/her own
terminal or through companies which maintain such wage standards.

Operations

The parties further agree that with respect to all subsequently established
over-the-road and local cartage operations and terminals of the signatory
Employer which do not adjoin, but are utilized and controlled as part of,
current over-the-road and local cartage operations, the provisions of Article
2, Section 3(a) shall govern so that when a majority of the eligible
employees of the signatory Employer performing work at that location execute
a card authorizing a signatory Local Union to represent them as their
collective bargaining agent at the terminal location, then, such employees
shall automatically be covered by this Agreement and the applicable
Supplemental Agreements.

(d) Operations permitted by Article 29, and not in violation of any
other provisions of this Agreement, are not to be considered as extensions of
current operations within the meaning of Section 4.

<PAGE>
Article 32, Section 5

Section 5.

For the purpose of preserving work and job opportunities, the National
Grievance Committee may define the circumstances and adopt procedures by
which an Employer and a Local Union, parties to this Agreement, may in
compliance therewith enter into a Special Circumstance Agreement which does
not meet the standards provided herein.

Section 6.

Grievances arising under this Article shall be processed on an expedited
basis pursuant to the procedures contained in Article 8, Section 1(a).

ARTICLE 33.
COST-OF-LIVING (COLA)

All regular employees, subject to this Agreement, shall be covered by the
provisions of a cost-of-living allowance as set forth in this Article.

The amount of the cost-of-living allowance shall be determined as provided
below on the basis of the "Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers, CPI-W, (Revised Series Using 1982-84 Expenditure Patterns),
All Items (1982-84=100), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor" and referred to herein as the "Index".

Cost-of-living allowances shall be effective on April 1, 1995, April 17 1996
and April 1, 1997.

The April 1, 1995, adjustment shall be calculated by the difference between
the January, 1994, Index and the January, 1995, Index.

The April 1, 1996, adjustment shall be calculated by the difference between
the January, 1995, Index and the January, 1996, Index.

The April 1, 1997, adjustment shall be calculated by the difference between
the January, 1996, Index and the January, 1997, Index.

The cost-of-living increases shall be calculated as follows:

<PAGE>
Article 33

For every .2 increase in the Index, there shall be a one cent ($.01) per hour
or .25 mills per mile increase in the wage rates.

However, the parties agree, that in no event, will the hourly and mileage
cost-of-living increases payable be lower than thirty cents ($.30) per hour
or .75 cents per mile on April 1, 1995; thirty-five cents ($.35) per hour or
.875 cents per mile on April 1, 1996; forty cents ($.40) per hour or 1.0 cent
per mile on April 1, 1997; and the parties further agree that the maximum
hourly and mileage cost-of-living increases payable on April 1, 1995, will be
thirty cents ($.30) per hour or .75 cents per mile; on April 1, 1996, thirty-
five cents ($.35) per hour or .875 cents per mile; and on April 1, 1997,
forty cents ($.40) per hour or 1.0 cent per mile.

For the duration of this Agreement only, all cost-of-living allowances shall
become a fixed part of the base rate for all classifications on the effective
date of each cost-of-living allowance. A decline in the Index shall not
result in a reduction of classification base rates.

In the event the appropriate Index figure is not issued before the effective
date of the cost-of-living adjustment, the cost-of-living adjustment that is
required will be made at the beginning of the first (lst) pay period after
receipt of the Index and will be made retroactive to the effective date.

In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics should revise or correct an
applicable Index figure, any adjustment that may be required in the cost-of-
living adjustment shall be effective at the beginning of the first (lst) pay
period after receipt of the revised or corrected Index figure and no
retroactive adjustments will be made.

In the event that the Index shall be revised or discontinued and in the event
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, does not issue
information which would enable the Employer and the Union to know what the
Index would have been had it not been revised or discontinued, then the
Employer and the Union will meet, negotiate, and agree upon an appropriate
substitute for the Index. Upon the failure of the parties to agree in such
negotiations within sixty (60) days, thereafter, each party shall be
permitted all lawful economic recourse to support its request. The parties
agree that the notice provision provided herein shall be accepted by all
parties as compliance with the notice requirements of applicable law, so as
to permit economic action at the expiration thereof.

ARTICLE 34.
GARNISHMENTS

In the event of notice to an Employer of a garnishment or impending
garnishment, the Employer may take disciplinary action if the employee fails
to satisfy such garnishment within a seventy-two (72)-hour period (limited to
working days) after notice to the employee. However, the Employer may not
discharge any employee by reason of the fact that his earnings have been
subject to garnishment for any one (1) indebtedness. If the Employer is
notified of three (3) garnishments irrespective of whether satisfied by the
employee within the seventy-two (72)-hour period, the employee maybe subject
to discipline, including discharge in extreme cases. However, if the
Employer has an established practice of discipline or discharge with a fewer
number of garnishments or impending garnishments, if the employee fails to
adjust the matter within the seventy-two (72)-hour period, such past practice
shall be applicable in those cases.

ARTICLE 35.

Section 1. Employee's Bail

Employees will be bailed out of jail if accused of any offense in connection
with the faithful discharge of their duties, and any employee forced to spend
time in jail or in courts shall be compensated at his/her regular rate of
pay. In addition, he/she shall be entitled to reimbursement for his/her
meals, transportation, court costs, etc.; provided, however, that faithful
discharge of duties shall in no case include compliance with any order
involving commission of a felony. In case an employee shall be subpoenaed as
a company witness, he/she shall be reimbursed for all time lost and expenses
incurred.

Section 2. Suspension or Revocation of License

In the event an employee receives a traffic citation for a moving violation
which would contribute to a suspension or revocation or suffers a suspension
or revocation of his/her right to drive the company's equipment for any
reason, he/she must promptly notify his/her Employer in writing. Failure to
comply will subject the employee to

100

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 2

disciplinary action up to and including discharge. If such suspension or
revocation comes as a result of his/her complying with the Employees
instruction, which results in a succession of size and weight penalties or
because he/she complied with his/her Employer's instruction to drive company
equipment which is in violation of DOT regulations relating to equipment or
because the company equipment did not have either a speedometer or a
tachometer in proper working order and if the employee has notified the
Employer of the citation for such violation as above mentioned, the Employer
shall provide employment to such employee at not less than his/her regular
earnings at the time of such suspension for the entire period thereof.

When an employee in any job classification requiring driving has his/her
operating privilege or license suspended or revoked for reasons other than
those for which the employee can be discharged by the Employer, a leave of
absence, not to exceed three (3) years, shall be granted for such time as the
employee's operating privilege or license has been suspended or revoked.

Section 3. Alcohol and Drug Use

PREAMBLE

While abuse of alcohol and drugs among our members/employees is the exception
rather than the rule, the Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating
Committee and the Employers signatory to this Agreement share the concern
expressed by many over the growth of substance abuse in American society.

The parties have agreed that the Drug and Alcohol Abuse Program will be
modified in the event that further federal legislation or Department of
Transportation regulations provide for revised testing methodologies or
requirements. The parties have incorporated the appropriate changes required
by the applicable DOT drug testing rules under 49 CFR Part 40, and agree that
if new federally mandated changes are brought about, they too will become
part of this Agreement. The drug testing procedure, agreed to by labor and
management, incorporates state-of-the-art employee protections during
specimen collection and laboratory testing to protect the innocent.

In order to eliminate the safety risks which result from alcohol or drugs,
the parties have agreed to the following procedures:

101

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

NMFA UNIFORM TESTING PROCEDURE

(a) Probable Suspicion Testing

In cases in which an employee is acting in an abnormal manner and at least
one (1) supervisor, two (2) if available, have probable suspicion to believe
that the employee is under the influence of controlled substances, the
Employer may require the employee (in the presence of a union shop steward,
if possible) to go to a medical clinic to provide both urine and blood
specimens for laboratory testing. The supervisor(s) must have received
training in the signs of drug intoxication in a prescribed training program
which is endorsed by the Employer. Probable suspicion means suspicion based
on specific personal observations that the Employer representative (s) can
describe concerning the appearance, behavior, speech or breath odor of the
employee. The supervisor(s) must make a written statement of these
observations within twenty-four (24) hours. A copy must be provided to the
shop steward or other union official after the employee is discharged.
Suspicion is not probable and thus not a basis for testing if it is based
solely on third (3rd) party observation and reports. If requested, the
employee will sign a consent form authorizing the clinic to withdraw
specimens of blood and urine and release the results of the urine laboratory
testing to his/her Employer's Medical Review Officer, in the case of DOT
covered employees, and the blood testing results to the Employer, but shall
not be required to waive any claim or cause of action under the law. For all
purposes herein, the parties agree that the terms "probable suspicion" and
"reasonable cause" shall be synonymous.

An employee may raise an affirmative defense that the positive blood test
result was attributable to the proper use of a prescription medication. If
the employee raises such a defense to the Company, at the employee's request,
the Company shall refer the employee to a qualified physician to discuss the
employee's explanation for the positive blood test result. The qualified
physician may decide that there is a legitimate explanation and declare the
blood drug test to be negative. The employee may be required to provide
evidence that a prescription has been lawfully prescribed by a physician.

A refusal to provide either specimen will constitute a presumption of
intoxication and the employee will be subject to discharge without the
receipt of a prior warning letter. In the case of a non-DOT

102

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

covered employee who is unable to provide a urine specimen after a reasonable
waiting period [not to exceed one (1) hour], the Employer may terminate the
procedure and proceed with laboratory testing based upon blood specimens
alone. In DOT-covered cases, if the employee is unable to produce 3OmL of
urine, he/she shall be given fluids to drink and shall remain at the
collection site under observation until able to produce a 3OmL specimen, for
up to eight (8) hours at the Employer's option. If still unable to produce a
3OmL specimen, the blood specimen will be forwarded to the lab for analysis,
and the employee shall be referred for medical evaluation. Contractual time
limits for disciplinary action, as set forth in the appropriate Supplemental
Agreement, shall begin on the day on which specimens are drawn. In the event
the Employer alleges only that the employee is intoxicated on alcohol and not
drugs, previously agreed-to procedures under the appropriate Supplemental
Agreement for determining alcohol intoxication shall apply.

In the event the Employer is unable to determine whether the abnormal
behavior is due to drugs or alcohol, the drug testing procedure contained
herein shall be used. If the laboratory results are not known prior to the
expiration of the contractual time period for disciplinary action, the cause
for disciplinary action shall specify that the basis for such disciplinary
action is for "alcohol and/or drug intoxication."

(b) DOT Random Testing

It is agreed by the parties that random urine drug testing will be
implemented only in accordance with the DOT rules under 49 CFR Part 391,
Subpart H.

It is agreed that the Employer shall discontinue urine drug testing in
conjunction with the DOT physical after the Employer has implemented its
random urine drug testing program and is testing at the fifty percent (50%)
rate.

The method of selection for random urine drug testing will be neutral so that
all employees subject to testing will have an equal chance to be randomly
selected.

The term "employees subject to testing" under this agreement is meant to
include any employee required to have a DOT physical examination under the
Department of Transportation regulations.

103

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

Employees out on long term injury or disability for any reason shall be
removed from the random pool.

The provisions of Article 35, Section 3(f)(3) (Split Sample Procedures), and
Article 35, Section 3(j)(1) (One-Time Rehabilitation), shall apply to random
urine drug testing.

Non-suspicion-based post-accident testing is defined as urine drug testing as
a result of an accident when the driver is issued a citation for a moving
traffic violation arising from an accident. Urine drug testing will be
required after accidents meeting the following conditions and drivers are
required to present themselves for such testing within thirty-two (32) hours
after such accident:

"Accident" means an occurrence involving a commercial motor vehicle operating
on a public road which results in: (i) A fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a
person who, as a result of the injury, immediately receives medical treatment
away from the scene of the accident; or (iii) one or more motor vehicles
incurring disabling damage as a result of the accident, requiring the
vehicle(s) to be transported away from the scene by tow truck or other
vehicle.

The driver has the responsibility to make himself/herself available for urine
drug testing within the thirty-two (32) hour period in accordance with the
procedures outlined in this Subsection. The driver is responsible to notify
the Employer upon receipt of a citation and to note receipt thereof on the
accident report. Failure to so notify the Employer shall subject the driver
to disciplinary action.

If a driver receives a citation for a moving violation more than thirty-two
(32) hours after a reportable accident, he/she shall not be required to
submit to post-accident urine drug testing.

The Employer shall make available a urine drug testing kit and an appropriate
collection site for the driver to provide specimens.

The provisions of Article 35, Section 3(f)(3) (Split Sample Procedures), and
Article 35, Section 3(j)(1) (One-Time Rehabilitation), shall apply to non-
suspicion-based post-accident urine drug testing.

104

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

(d) Chain of Custody Procedures

Any specimens collected for drug testing shall follow the DHHS/DOT
(Department of Health and Human Services/Department of Transportation)
specimen collection procedures. At the time specimens are collected for any
drug testing, the employee shall be given a copy of the specimen collection
procedures. In the presence of the employee, the specimens are to be sealed
and labeled. As per DOT regulations, it is the employee's responsibility to
initial the specimens, additionally ensuring that the specimens tested by the
laboratory are those of the employee. The required procedure follows:

(1) For probable suspicion testing, blood shall be drawn first. The
blood specimen shall be taken promptly with as little delay as possible.
Immediately after the specimens are drawn, the individual test tubes shall,
in the presence of the employee, be sealed and labeled and the employee has
the responsibility to identify each specimen and initial same. Urine is
similarly collected, sealed, labeled and initialed. Following collection,
the specimens shall be placed in the transportation container together with
the appropriate copies of the chain of custody form. The transportation
container shall then be sealed in the employee's presence. The employee has
the responsibility to initial the outside of the container. The container
shall be sent to the designated testing laboratory on the same day or on the
next normal business day, by air courier or other fastest available means.

(2) Where urine specimens are to be provided, at least 3OmL of specimen
shall be collected and placed in one (1) self-sealing, screw-capped
container. Urine specimen in excess of the first (lst) 3OmL shall be placed
in a second (2nd) such container. They shall be sealed, labeled and
initialed by the employee without the containers leaving the employee's
presence. The employee has the responsibility to identify each specimen and
initial same. Following collection, the specimens shall be placed in the
transportation container together with the appropriate copies of the chain of
custody form. The transportation container shall then be sealed in the
employee's presence. The employee has the responsibility to initial the
outside of the container. The container shall be sent to the designated
testing laboratory at the earliest possible time by the fastest available
means.

105

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

In this urine collection procedure, urine shall be obtained directly in a
wide-mouthed single-use specimen container, which shall remain in full view
of the employee until transferred to tamper-resistant urine bottles, and
sealed and labeled, and the employee has initialed the bottles. At the
employee's request, he/she may void directly into the two (2) self-sealing
tamper-resistant urine bottles in the kit.

It is recognized that the Employer has the right to request the clinic
personnel administering a urine drug test to take such steps as checking the
color and temperature of the urine specimen(s) to detect tampering or
substitution, provided that the employee's right to privacy is guaranteed and
in no circumstances may observation take place while the employee is
producing the urine specimens, unless required by DOT regulations. If it is
established that the employee's specimen has been intentionally tampered with
or substituted by the employee, the employee is subject to discipline as if
the specimen tested positive. In order to deter adulteration of the urine
specimen during the collection process, physiologic determinations such as
creatinine, specific gravity and/or chloride measurements may be performed by
the laboratory.

Any findings by the laboratory outside the "normal" ranges for creatinine,
specific gravity and/or chloride shall be immediately reported to the
Company's MRO for determination as to whether another specimen should be
drawn.

The parties recognize that the key to chain of custody integrity is the
immediate sealing and labeling of the specimen in the presence of the tested
employee. If each container is received undamaged at the laboratory properly
sealed, labeled and initialed, consistent with DOT regulations as certified
by the laboratory, the Employer may take disciplinary action based upon
properly obtained laboratory results.

(e) Drug Testing Kits

(1) Blood and Urine Sample Kits (Probable Suspicion Kits)

The contents of the blood and urine sample kits shall be as follows:

106

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

a. Security seals for sealing, initialing and labeling each blood
vial.

b. Non-alcohol antiseptic swab (providone-iodine 10%).

c. Holder for evacuated tube and needle.

d. 20 gauge x 1.5" multiple sterile pyrogen-free needle.

e. One (1) sterile evacuated GRAY top blood collection tube con-
taining 100 mg sodium fluoride and 20 mg potassium oxalate (or in the same
proportion), and one (1) sterile evacuated blood collection tube without
anticoagulant, preservative - e.g., RED top tube.

f. Two (2) screw-capped self-sealing tamper-resistant urine collection
bottles of appropriate capacities (for kits manufactured after April, 1994).

g. Instructions for specimen collection.

The chain of custody form shall be completed by the hospital/clinic personnel
during specimen collection and the appropriate copies for the laboratory
placed with the blood and urine specimens into the transportation container.
The exterior of the container must then be secured (e.g., by placing the
tamper-proof Box Seal over the outlined area). If physically capable, the
employee has the responsibility to initial the sealed transportation
container.

(2) Urine Collection Kits

The contents of the urine collection kit shall be as follows:

a. Two (2) screw-capped self-sealing tamper-resistant urine collection
bottles of appropriate capacities, one of which contains a temperature
reading device affixed to the outside of the container capable of registering
the urine temperature specified in the DOT regulations.

b. A uniquely numbered (i.e. Specimen Identification Number) DOT
approved chain of custody form with similarly numbered Bottle Custody Seals,
and a transportation kit seal (e.g., Box Seal) shall be utilized during the
urine collection process and completed by the collection site person. The
appropriate laboratory copies are to be placed into the transportation
container with the urine specimens. The exterior of the transportation kit
shall then be secured, e.g., by placing the tamper-proof Box Seal over the
outlined area.

107

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

The employee has the responsibility to initial the sealed transportation
container.

c. Shrink-wrapped or similarly protected kits shall be used in all
instances pertaining to (1) and (2) above.

(f) Laboratory Requirements

(1) Urine Testing

In testing urine samples, the testing laboratory shall test specifically for
those drugs and classes of drugs and employing the test methodologies and
cutoff levels covered in the DOT Regulations 49 CFR, Part 40.

(2) Specimen Retention

All specimens deemed "positive" by the laboratory, according to the
prescribed guidelines, must be retained at the laboratory for a period of one
(1) year.

(3) Split Sample Procedure

There will be an optional split sample procedure available to all employees
selected for urine drug testing. When any test kit is received by the
laboratory, the "primary" sealed urine specimen bottle shall be immediately
removed for testing, and the remaining "split" sealed bottle shall be placed
in secured storage. Such specimen shall be placed in refrigerated storage if
it is to be tested outside of the DOT mandated period of time.

The employee will be given a shrink-wrapped or similarly protected urine
collection kit containing two (2) containers for the urine specimen. One (1)
container must contain at least 3OmL of urine, and urine in excess of the
first (lst) 3OmL shall be placed in the second (2nd) container. Both shall
be sealed in the employee's presence, initialed by the employee, then
forwarded to an approved laboratory for testing. If the employee is advised
by the MRO that the first (1st) urine sample tested positive, in a random or
post accident urine drug test, or if the urine portion of a probable
suspicion test is positive after the blood tests negative, the employee may,
within seventy-two (72) hours of receipt of actual notice, request that the
second (2nd) urine specimen be forwarded by the first laboratory to another
independent and unrelated approved laborato-

108

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

ry of the parties' choice for GC/MS confirmatory testing of the presence of the
drug. If the employee chooses to have the second (2nd) sample analyzed,
he/she shall at that time execute a special checkoff authorization form to
ensure payment by the employee. If the employee chooses the optional split
sample procedure, disciplinary action can only take place after the first
(lst) laboratory reports a positive finding and the second (2nd) laboratory
confirms the presence of the drug. However, the employee may be taken out of
service once the first (lst) laboratory reports a positive finding while the
second (2nd) test is being performed. If the second (2nd) test is positive,
and the employee wishes to use the rehabilitation options of this Section,
the employee shall reimburse the Employer for the cost of the second (2nd)
sample's analysis before entering the rehabilitation program. If the second
(2nd) laboratory report is negative, the employee will be reimbursed for the
cost of the second (2nd) test and for all lost time. It is also understood
that if an employee opts for the split sample procedure, contractual time
limits on disciplinary action in the Supplements are waived.

(4) Laboratory Accreditation

All laboratories used to perform urine drug testing pursuant to this
Agreement must be accredited by the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA).

Laboratories that have not previously been approved for blood drug testing
but which desire to begin such testing, pursuant to this Agreement, must
apply to the parties for approval and be added to the approved list before
testing.

(g) Laboratory Testing Methodology

The initial testing shall be by immunoassay which meets the requirements of
the Food and Drug Administration for commercial distribution. The initial
cutoff levels used when screening urine specimens to determine whether they
are negative or positive for various classes of drugs shall be those
contained in the Scientific and Technical Guidelines for Federal Drug Testing
Programs (subject to revision in accordance with subsequent amendments to the
HHS Guidelines) -

All specimens identified as positive on the initial test shall be confirmed
using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) tech-

109

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

niques. Quantitative GC/MS confirmation procedures to determine whether the
test is negative or positive for various classes of drugs shall be those
contained in the Scientific and Technical Guidelines for Federal Drug Testing
Programs (subject to revision in accordance with subsequent amendments to the
HHS Guidelines).

All specimens which test negative on either the initial test or the GC/MS
confirmation test shall be reported only as negative. Only specimens which
test positive on both the initial test and the GC/MS confirmation test shall
be reported as positive.

When a grievance is filed as a result of a positive drug test, the Employer
shall obtain the test results from the laboratory relating to the drug test,
and shall provide a copy to the Union.

(2) Blood Testing

In testing blood specimens, the testing laboratory will analyze blood/serum
by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as appropriate.

In probable suspicion testing, a "positive" finding for cannabinoids will be
forensically reported under any of the following results obtained after
testing blood specimens by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry:

a. The blood/serum contains at least two (2) and up to five (5)
nanograms THC/mL and at least ten (10) nanograms THC metabolites/mL.

b. The blood/serum contains at least five (5) or more nanograms
THC/mL, regardless of the THC metabolite concentration.

c. The blood/serum contains twenty (20) or more nanograms THC
metabolites/mL, regardless of THC concentration.

If none of the above blood marijuana findings results are obtained, a
"negative" finding shall be reported.

Where other Schedule I and II drugs in blood are detected, the laboratory is
to report a positive test based on a forensically acceptable positive quantum
of proof. All positive test results must be reviewed by the certifying
scientist and certified as accurate.

All positive test results must be reviewed by the certifying scientist and
certified as accurate.

110

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

(3) Prescription and Non-prescription Medications

If an employee is taking a prescription or non-prescription medication in the
appropriate described manner he/she will not be disciplined. Medications
prescribed for another individual, not the employee, shall be considered to
be illegally used and subject the employee to discipline.

(4) Medical Review Officer (MRO)

The Medical Review Officer (MRO) shall be a licensed physician with the
knowledge of substance abuse disorders. The MRO shall review and interpret
all urine drug test results, as required by the DOT for all employees tested
for drugs under this Agreement, from the laboratory and shall examine
alternate medical explanations for such positive tests. Prior to the final
decision to verify a positive urine drug test result, all employees shall
have the opportunity to discuss the results with the MRO. If the employee
has not discussed the results of the positive urine drug test with the MRO
within five (5) days after being contacted, or refuses the opportunity to do
so, the MRO shall proceed with the positive verification.

(h) Leave of Absence Prior to Testing

(1) An employee shall be permitted to take leave of absence for the
purpose of undergoing treatment pursuant to an approved program of alcoholism
or drug use. The leave of absence must be requested prior to the commission
of any act subject to disciplinary action.

(2) Such leave of absence shall be granted on a one (1)-time basis and
shall be for a maximum of sixty (60) days unless extended by mutual
agreement. While on such leave, the employee shall not receive any of the
benefits provided by this Agreement or Supplements thereto except continued
accrual of seniority, nor does this provision amend or alter the disciplinary
provision.

(3) Employees requesting to return to work from a leave of absence for
drug use or alcoholism shall be required to submit to testing as provided for
in Part (j) of this Section. Failure to do so will subject the employee to
discipline including discharge without the receipt of a prior warning letter.

111

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

(4) The provisions of this Section shall not apply to probationary
employees.

(i) Disciplinary Action Based on Positive Test Results

Consistent with past practice under this Agreement, and notwithstanding any
other language in any Supplement, the Employer may take disciplinary action
based on the test results as follows:

(1) If a laboratory, following the procedures described in Parts (f)
and (g), reports that a urine test is positive, the employee shall be subject
to discharge (except as provided in Part (j))

(2) The following actions shall apply in probable suspicion testing
based on DOT and contractual mandates.

a. If the blood test is positive according to the procedures described
in Parts (f) and (g), the employee shall be subject to discharge.

b. If the blood test is negative and the urine test is positive, the
employee shall be medically unqualified as prescribed by the DOT regulations.

c. If the blood test is negative and the urine test is negative, the
employee shall be immediately returned to work and made whole for all lost
earnings.

(3) If test results show a blood alcohol concentration equal to or
above the level previously determined by the appropriate Supplemental
Agreement for alcohol intoxication, the employee shall be subject to
discharge pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement.

(j) Return to Employment After a Positive Urine Drug Test

(1) Any employee testing positive for drugs in a urine drug test,
thereby subjecting the employee to discipline, shall be granted reinstatement
on a one (1)-time lifetime basis if the employee successfully completes a
program of evaluation and/or rehabilitation which has been approved by the
applicable Health & Welfare Fund where such is the practice. Any cost of
evaluation and/or rehabilitation, over and above that paid for by the
applicable Health & Welfare Fund, must be borne by the employee.

112

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

(2) Employees electing the one-time lifetime evaluation and/or
rehabilitation must notify the Company within ten (10) days of being notified
by the Company of a positive urine drug test. The evaluation process and/or
rehabilitation program must take a minimum of ten (10) days. The employee
must begin the evaluation process and/or rehabilitation program within
fifteen (15) days after notifying the Company. The employee must request
reinstatement promptly after successful completion of the evaluation process
and/or rehabilitation program. After the minimum ten (10) day period, the
employee may request reinstatement, but must first provide a negative urine
drug test, to be conducted by a clinic and laboratory of the Employer's
choice, before the employee can be reinstated. Any employee choosing to
protest the discharge must file a protest under the applicable Supplement.
After the discharge is sustained, the employee must notify the Company within
ten (10) days of the date of the decision, of the desire to enter the
evaluation process and/or rehabilitation program.

(3) While undergoing treatment, the employee shall not receive any of
the benefits provided by this Agreement or Supplements thereto except
continued accrual of seniority.

(4) Upon being reinstated, and after providing the negative drug test
provided in Subpart (2) of this Subsection, the employee will be subject to
three (3) additional tests for drugs without prior notice. Two (2) of these
tests will occur within the six (6) months of the employee's reinstatement
and the third (3rd) test to occur within the six (6) to twelve (12) month
period after the employee's return to employment. A positive test result as
set forth in Part (g) of this Section or a refusal to submit to testing shall
result in discharge without the receipt of a prior warning letter.

(k) Special Grievance Procedure

(1) The parties shall together create a Special Conference Joint Area
Committee consisting of an equal number of employer and union representatives
to hear drug-related discipline disputes. All such disputes arising after
the establishment of the Special Conference Joint Area Committee shall be
taken up between the Employer and Local Union involved. Failing adjustment
by these parties, the dispute shall be heard by the Special Conference Joint
Area Committee within ninety (90) days of the Committee's receipt

113

<PAGE>
Article 35, Section 3

of the dispute. Where the Special Conference Joint Area Committee, by
majority vote, settles a dispute, such decision shall be final and binding on
both parties with no further appeal. Where the Special Conference Joint Area
Committee is unable to agree on or come to a decision on a dispute, the
dispute will be referred to the National Grievance Committee.

(2) The procedures set forth herein may be invoked only by the
authorized Union Representative or the Employer.

(l) Paid-for Time

(1) Training

Employees undergoing substance abuse training as required by the DOT will be
paid for such time and the training will be scheduled in connection with the
employee's normal work shift, where possible.

(2) Testing

Employees subject to testing and selected by the random selection process for
urine drug testing shall be compensated at the regular straight time hourly
rate of pay in the following manner provided that the test is negative:

A. Random Drug Tests

1. for all time at the collection site.

2. (a) for travel time one way if the collection site is reasonably
en route between the employee's home and the terminal, and the employee is
going to or from work; or

(b) for travel time both ways between the terminal and the collection
site, only if the collection site is not reasonably en route between the
employee's home and the terminal.

3. When an employee is on the clock and a random drug test is taken
any time during the employee's shift, and the shift ends after eight (8)
hours, the employee is paid time and one-half for all time past the eight (8)
hours.

4. The Employer will not require the city employee to go for urine
drug testing before the city employee's shift, provided the collec-

114

<PAGE>

origin nor will they limit, segregate or classify employees in any way to
deprive any individual employee of employment opportunities because of race,

during any twelve (12) month period for the following reasons:

1. Birth or adoption of a child or the placement of a child for foster
care;
2. To care for a spouse, child or parent of the employee due to a
serious health condition;
3. A serious health condition of the employee.

The employee's seniority rights shall continue as if the employee had not
taken leave under this Section, and the Employer will maintain health
insurance coverage during the period of the leave.

118

<PAGE>
Article 38, Section 3

The Employer may require the employee to substitute accrued paid vacation or
other paid leave for part of the twelve (12) week leave period.

The employee is required to provide the Employer with at least thirty (30)
days advance notice before FMLA leave begins if the need for leave is
foreseeable. If the leave is not foreseeable, the employee is required to
give notice as soon as practicable. The Employer has the right to require
medical certification of a need for leave under this Act. In addition, the
Employer has the right to require a second (2nd) opinion at the Employer's
expense. If the second opinion conflicts with the initial certification, a
third opinion from a health care provider selected by the first and second
opinion health care providers, at the Employer's expense may be sought, which
shall be final and binding. Failure to provide certification shall cause any
leave taken to be treated as an unexcused absence.

As a condition of returning to work, an employee who has taken leave due to
his/her own serious health condition must be medically qualified to perform
the functions of his/her job. In cases where employees fail to return to work
the provisions of the applicable Supplemental Agreement will apply.

It is specifically understood that an employee will not be required to repay
any of the contributions for his/her health insurance during FMLA leave. No
employee will be disciplined for requesting or taking FMLA leave under the
contract absent fraud, misrepresentation, or dishonesty.

Disputes arising under this provision shall be subject to the grievance
procedure.

The provisions of this Section are in response to the federal FMLA and shall
not supersede any state or local law which provides for greater employee
rights.

APPENDIX A

WAGE REDUCTION-JOB SECURITY PLAN
GUIDELINES

Note: Each Plan Must be Approved by TNFINC.

_____a _____Corporation, (hereinafter called the "Company:") hereby
establishes The ___Wage Reduction - Job Security Plan, (hereinafter the
"Plan") for the benefit of all of its employees. These guidelines for
establishing this Plan were created for the express purpose of allowing
freight companies the ability to compete and provide job security for
Teamster bargaining unit employees. This plan has been approved per Article
6, Section 2, of the National Master Freight Agreement.

1. Employee Eligibility. During the period in which the Plan is
effective, each full time employee of the Company (Bargaining Unit and/or Non-
Bargaining Unit) shall participate in the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, the
term "full time employee" means an employee who is on the seniority list and
is scheduled to perform work for the Company when called, including
probationary employees and regular employees on lay off status but, excluding
casual employees.

2. Equal Sacrifice of Non-Bargaining Unit Employees and their
Participation. All non-bargaining unit employees will participate equally in
the Plan in accordance with its terms. The Company will continue the past and
present practice of sharing the burden of sacrifices among all employees. The
Company agrees not to increase wages (including bonuses) and benefits of
current non-bargaining unit employees as an overall percentage beyond the
effective overall percentage increases to be received by the bargaining unit
employees. (This would exclude promotions, new hires, and, for example, data
processing employees, who may be otherwise impossible to hire or retain). In
the event it becomes necessary to exceed this overall percentage increase
limit in order to retain employees for the efficient continued operation of
the business, the Company would request approval from the TNFINC to do so.

3. Relation to Collective Bargaining Agreement. This Plan will be
mandatory for all employees, both bargaining unit and non-bar-

124

<PAGE>
gaining unit, since job security is the number one asset we all hope to share
equally. This Plan will be effective on the agreed-to date for all those
employees in the entire unit. The Plan will be submitted for secret ballot
vote of all bargaining unit employees, and shall be put into effect if
seventy-five percent (75%) of the bargaining unit employees voting, vote to
adopt the plan.

4. Health, Welfare and Pension Contributions. The Company agrees to
continue to pay the full Health, Welfare and Pension contributions and other
increases set forth in the National Master Freight Agreement and its
Supplements and will continue to be signator to the National Master Freight
Agreements for the life of the Plan.

5. Dispute Settlement. As part of the Collective Bargaining
Agreement, disputes pertaining to the Plan are subject to the grievance
procedure contained in the National Master Freight Agreement. However, any
grievance filed hereunder, by either party, shall be referred directly to the
appropriate Are Conference Grievance Committee for initial hearing and
disposition.

6. Participation. An employee begins or continues participation in the
Plan, on the date of Plan implementation, or, the first day of the pay period
following his/her first day of regular and/or probationary employment subject
to the eligibility rules above.

7. New Hire. Newly hired employees subject to New Hire under the
National Master Freight Agreement beginning after 10/1/94 will begin
participation in the Plan first day of the pay period as a minimum as follows
for a 15% Wage Reduction-Job Security Plan:

Maximum Wage Reduction
Time of Service from New Hire Rate

Effective First Day of Employment Receive 70% of NMFA Wages (%)

Effective First plus One (1) Year Receive 75% of NMFA Wages (%)

Effective First plus 18 Months Receive 80% of NMFA Wages (%)

Effective First Day plus Two (2) Years Receive 85% of NMFA Wages (%)

125

<PAGE>
Any present employee still subject to New Hire Rates under the National
Master Freight Agreement who began prior to 10/1/94 will participate
according to his seniority date and subject to the above schedule, except
that no one will move backwards in progression.

8. Term of Plan. The term of the Plan or continued Plan shall begin
on or after April 1, 1994 and shall continue in effect through March 31, 1998
or until a replacement Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached between the
parties, whichever is the later.

All Plan years will commence on January 1, and end on December 31.
Distribution of net operating profits will be prorated as appropriate for
calendar years 1994 and 1998 and correspond with Plan implementation date and
Plan termination date as herein provided.

9. Determination and Sharing of Net Operating Profit. For the period
from date of Plan implementation through date of Plan termination as herein
provided for a 15% (maximum) plan:

% of Net Operating
% of Net Operating Profit Distributed
Overall Expense Profit Retained to Plan Participating
Ratio Levels by Company Employees (Profit Pool)

97.0 or Above 100% 0%
96.9 and Below 50% 50%

(Note: The percentage of profit retention below 97.0 set forth above may vary
in Plans for less than maximum allowable reduction provided in Item #11,
pursuant to TNFINC approval.)

(a) As set forth above, the Company will retain all Net Operating
Profit amounts on the first three points of the Overall Expense Ratio, i.e.,
from 97.0 or above, irrespective of what the overall expense ratio is. A
substantial portion of such net operating profit on the first three points of
the Overall Expense Ratio will be reinvested back into the Company's freight
operations for the purpose of continuing to provide job security for all Plan
participants. The Company will distribute the requisite percentage of the Net
Operating Profit in excess of the first three points of the Overall Expense
Ratio, i.e., from 96.9 and below, to the participating employees.

(b) Each participant's proportionate share of the Company's Net
Operating Profit (Profit Pool) for each Plan year for which a deter-

126

<PAGE>
mination is being made shall equal the ratio of the individual participant's
earnings for such plan year (after applicable wage reduction) divided by the
total earnings by all eligible employees for such plan year, (after
applicable wage reduction) multiplied by the amounts of the Company's Net
Operating Profit (Profit Pool) which is available for distribution under the
Plan.

For example, the distribution for an employee for the first full Plan year
would be:

Individual Participant's Eligible Profit Pool-Net Operating
Earnings for the period January 1, Profits (for the period
through December 31. from January 1 through
_________________________ X December 31) available for
distribution to
Participating Employees

Overall Participating Employees'
Eligible Earnings (January 1
through December 31.)

(c) The term "Earnings" means an employee's wage compensation only as
reportable for W-2 purposes for any plan year for which a profit sharing
determination is being made, less amounts otherwise includable in wage
compensation which are attributable to profit sharing distributions received
during such Plan year, but attributable to a preceding Plan year. Earnings
attributable to wages shall include vacation, sick pay, holiday pay, funeral
leave, jury duty and other paid-for-time not worked.

(d) The term "Net Operating Profit" means all operating revenues
attributable to the Company's LTL trucking operations minus all operating
expenses, including other expenses and debt interest, and any other non-
recurring expenses normally incurred by a regulated general freight carrier,
excluding any provision for Plan distributions and income taxes, as defined
under generally accepted accounting principles. This does not include
extraordinary gains or losses as defined under generally accepted accounting
principles.

(e) The term "Overall Expense Ratio" means all expenses excluding any
provision for Plan distributions, income taxes and extraordinary losses
divided by total revenues excluding extraordinary gains, as defined under
generally accepted accounting principles.

127

<PAGE>
(f) The company will provide each employee with an annual report
including a basic profit and loss statement, indicating the overall results
of the Plan and the individual distribution available to such employee.

10. Distribution of Operating Profit. Distribution of the employees'
share of Net Operating Profit as determined under the Plan for each calendar
(Plan) year shall be made by the Company within ninety (90) days after the
close of the Company's books for such calendar (Plan) year.

11. Wage Reduction. From and after the effective date on which an
employee becomes a Participant, each employee will have or will have had
his/her gross wages or earnings reduced by %, except for new hires. (See
Item 7.) Such wage reduction and/or reduced wages shall include vacation,
sick pay, holiday pay, funeral leave, jury duty and other paid for time not
worked. Wage or salary increases given during the term of the Plan will be
subject to the applicable wage or salary reduction.

12. Income and Employment Tax Withholding. The Company shall withhold
all applicable federal, state and local income tax and social security or
other tax from employees' wages after the reduction and subsequently from
each employee's distribution under the Plan as required by applicable
federal, state, or local laws and/or regulations of such greater amount as
requested by the employee in writing.

13. Access to Company Financial Records. The Company shall submit an
annual operating statement in the format of the ICC report and independent
audit to TNFINC, and TNFINC reserves the right on an annual basis to examine
the books of the Company or utilize an independent auditor of its choice. In
the event an independent auditing firm is utilized by TNFINC, the Company
shall pay such independent auditor for such annual audit up to a maximum of
five thousand dollars ($5,000). There shall be no inter-company charges
initiated under the Plan for the purpose of defeating the Plan. The Company
will not change accounting assumptions or practices, except as required to
conform to governmental regulation, generally accepted accounting practices
or for good business reasons; and in no event will such assumptions or
practices be changed to evade or defeat the purposes of this Plan.

128

<PAGE>
14. Past Practices/Company Operations. The existence and maintenance of
this Plan shall not limit or otherwise affect the Company's ability to
continue to exercise its managerial discretion regarding the running of the
Company's business, consistent with the provisions of the Collective
Bargaining Agreement. A committee consisting of at least three (3), but not
more than six (6) bargaining unit employees selected form among themselves
shall have the right to meet and confer with top management on a semi-annual
basis for purposes of being apprised and informed concerning the overall
progress and results of the Company's continuing operations. TNFINC will
appoint the Chairman of this committee and will have the right to send a
representative to any meeting of the committee convened by the Company.

15. Work Preservation. Where legally permissible, the Company agree not
to establish any non-union regular route common carrier dry freight LTL
entity. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Company" includes the
holding company. In the event the Company acquires a non-union regular route
common carrier dry freight LTL entity whose operations are to be combined
with those of the Company, it will negotiate with the Union concerning wages,
hours and working conditions for the employees of the acquired entity. If the
Company acquires a non-union regular route common carrier dry freight LTL
entity which is to be operated separately from the Company, it agrees that it
will recognize the Union as the representative of employees of that entity in
those jobs comparable to those in the present bargaining unit based on, and
after, a check by the Company of union recognition cards if signed by a
majority of those employees, and the Company will not oppose or obstruct the
Union in its efforts to obtain cards. The company will then negotiate with
the Union concerning wages, hours and working conditions for those employees.

16. Company Agrees Not to Terminate Plan before Termination Date
Without Approval of the Union. However, if the Plan is terminated at any
time, wage levels will revert or snap back to the full National Master
Freight Agreement on a prospective basis and participating employees are
fully vested in the pro-rated share of the profits for period of wage
reduction.

17. Bankruptcy Protection. If the Company files Chapter 7 or 11
petition or is placed in involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, this

129

<PAGE>
Plan is automatically terminated and wages reverted to full National Master
Freight Agreement on a prospective basis unless the Union agrees to continue
the Plan.

18. Voluntary Termination of Operation. If the company voluntarily
terminates operations before the expiration of the current Collective
Bargaining Agreement, the participating employees are fully vested in the
prorated share of the profits for the period of wage reduction.

19. Type of Agreement. NMFA with all applicable supplements and all IBT
Agreements, whether or not supplemental to the NMFA.

20. Transfer of Ownership. If for any reason the Company is sold, the
participating employees are fully vested in the prorated share of the profits
for the period of wage reduction.

21. Resignation, Retirement or Other Termination of Employment. Any
employee who resigns, retires or otherwise incurs a termination of
employment, whether voluntary or involuntary, during the term of the Plan
shall receive a pro rata distribution in accordance with paragraph 9 based
upon his/her participation in the Plan through the date of his/her
resignation, retirement or other termination of employment.

22. Limitation to Current Ownership. Should the Company, at any time
subsequent to approval of this Plan, enter into negotiations for the sale of
the company the following is mutually understood:

This Plan is limited to the current ownership, unless such current
ownership and prospective purchaser obtain approval for continuance of the
Plan from TNFINC after a meeting with TNFINC, such current owner and the
prospective purchaser prior to the actual sale. During such meeting the
feasibility of employee purchase of the Company will be discussed with the
employee committee established in #14 above and with TNFINC.
