NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements for Overnite Corporation (prior to November 5, 2003, Overnite Holding, Inc.) and
its subsidiaries (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting, and in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
presentation. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim
periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Overnite Corporation (Overnite) for the year ended December 31,
2003. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year ending December 31, 2004.



Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to we, us, our, and
the Company are to Overnite Corporation and its subsidiaries.



On November 5, 2003 Union Pacific Corporation (UPC) completed the divestiture of its entire interest in Overnite Holding, Inc. through an initial public offering. In order to facilitate the offering,
immediately prior to the consummation of the offering, Overnite Corporation acquired from UPC all of the outstanding common stock of Overnite Holding, Inc. In exchange, Overnite Corporation issued to UPC (1) 27.5 million shares of its common stock,
which represented all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Overnite Corporation upon consummation of the transaction, and (2) a $1.0 million promissory note payable six months following the date of consummation of the transaction. In
addition, subsequent to this transaction but immediately prior to the consummation of the offering, Overnite Holding, Inc. (Overnite Holding) paid to UPC a dividend consisting of $128.0 million in cash and the forgiveness of the net
intercompany advances to UPC as of the date of the transaction, which totaled $222.1 million. This series of transactions is referred to as the Divestiture Transaction.



Concurrent with the Divestiture Transaction, Overnite Corporation and Overnite Transportation Company entered into a $300
million credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of lenders. A total of $128.0 million was drawn immediately to pay the cash dividend described in the preceding paragraph.



Following the Divestiture Transaction, Overnite Holding became a direct
wholly owned subsidiary of Overnite Corporation and Overnite Transportation Company and Motor Cargo Industries, Inc. became indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Overnite Corporation. UPC sold 100% of the shares of common stock of Overnite
Corporation that it received in the Divestiture Transaction in the initial public offering.

Basic earnings per
share is calculated on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share includes shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and stock-based awards where such instruments would be
dilutive.



On January 22, 2004, the Companys board of
directors declared the Companys first regular quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend was paid on March 17, 2004 to shareholders of record on February 25, 2004. On May 14, 2004, the Companys board of directors declared the
Companys second regular quarterly dividend of $0.04 per share. The dividend was paid on June 17, 2004 to shareholders of record on May 27, 2004. Dividends per share are omitted for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003 as the
Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC and therefore would not be meaningful.



Note 3. Comprehensive Income



For the six
months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003, the Company recognized total comprehensive income of $24.3 million and $23.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recognized no other comprehensive income or loss,
compared to other comprehensive loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Other comprehensive loss for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 related primarily to the effective portion of the changes in the fair values of
derivatives designated as hedging instruments related to fuel.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions



Until the date of the Divestiture Transaction, advances
to and from UPC accrued interest at a 7.5% annual interest rate. The Company earned $7.0 million of interest income related to the receivable from UPC in the first six months of 2003. The receivable from UPC was eliminated on November 5, 2003 as a
result of the Divestiture Transaction.



Until the date of the
Divestiture Transaction, the Company and UPC completed transportation arrangements for each others customers and billed each other in accordance with intermodal agreements and other contracts in the normal course of business, at commercial
terms that were equitable to all parties. During the six months ended June 30, 2003 these intercompany transactions included in the Companys operating revenue amounted to $2.2 million.



Note 6. Long-term debt



Long-term debt at June 30, 2004 consisted of $121.8 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement entered into at the time
of the Divestiture Transaction. The Credit Agreement provides for total borrowings of $300 million, consisting of a term loan of $125 million and a revolving loan of $175 million, of which up to a maximum of $150 million is available for the
issuance of letters of credit.



The remaining availability
under the revolving loan facility can be used for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and to support letters of credit. The terms of the Credit Agreement also provide for an increase, at our option, in the aggregate
commitments under the facility from $300 million to $350 million, either by adding additional lenders or by agreeing with existing lenders to increase their commitments. Each of the term loan and the revolving loan facility has a maturity date of
November 5, 2008.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS(Continued)



Borrowings under the term loan and the revolving loan facility bear interest, at the Companys
option, at either adjusted LIBOR or the alternate base rate, plus a spread based upon our credit rating. The effective interest rate at June 30, 2004 was 2.84%. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 the average interest rate was 2.61%. Outstanding
letters of credit to be issued under the revolving loan facility will be subject to an annual fee equal to the applicable spread over adjusted LIBOR for revolving loans. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $69.2 million at
June 30, 2004. The Company is also required to pay administrative fees, commitment fees, letter of credit issuance and administration fees and certain expenses, and to provide certain indemnities, all of which the Company believes to be customary
for financings of this type.



The Credit Agreement contains
affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. Specifically, the Credit Agreement contains financial covenants regarding maximum leverage ratios, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum asset
coverage ratio. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Overnite and certain of our domestic subsidiaries, including Motor Cargo, and are secured by a first-priority lien on and security interest in all of the capital stock of
Overnite Holding, Overnite, Inc. and OTC, as well as all of the capital stock held by OTC and any guarantor under the Credit Agreement.



The Companys long-term debt at June 30, 2004 consists of:

|                     |  |                       |        



Note 7. Retirement Plans



The Company provides defined pension benefits to eligible
employees of OTC and Motor Cargo. OTC pension benefits are based on years of service and compensation during employment and cover substantially all employees. Motor Cargo pension benefits are based solely upon years of service.



On April 10, 2004, the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 (the
Act) was approved. As a result, discount rates used to calculate pension funding requirements for 2004 and 2005 will be based upon long-term corporate bond rates. In years prior to 2004, discount rates used to calculate pension funding
requirements were based upon the 30-year Treasury rate which, in general, has been slightly lower than the rates now required under the Act.



During the first six months of 2004, the Company made pension plan contributions of $25.0 million compared to $30.3 million in the comparable period of
2003. The Company plans to voluntarily contribute an additional $5.0 million to its pension plans in 2004, although no contributions are required.

may consist of options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards or performance shares. The Company participated in UPCs stock-based employee compensation plans until November 5, 2003. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition
and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation expense, related to stock option grants, is reflected in net income as all
options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based employee compensation expense related to restricted stock and other incentive plans is reflected in
net income. The following table illustrates the effect on net income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
FASB) Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation:

OVERNITE CORPORATION (OVERNITE HOLDING, INC., prior to November 5, 2003)



NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS(Continued)



The fair value of each option grant was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004: risk-free interest rates of 3.2%; dividend yield of 0.7%; expected lives of 5 years; and volatility of
44.6%. Assumptions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 were: risk free interest rates of 2.9%; dividend yield of 1.5%; expected lives of 5 years; and volatility of 28.4%.



Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies



Unasserted ClaimsThere are various claims and lawsuits pending against the Company. It is not possible at this time for the Company to
determine fully the effect of all unasserted claims on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity; however, to the extent possible, where unasserted claims can be estimated and where such claims are considered probable,
the Company has recorded a liability. The Company does not expect that any known lawsuits, claims, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities or guarantees will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition,
results of operations or liquidity.



CommitmentsAs
of June 30, 2004, the Companys self-insured retention arrangements for workers compensation and automobile liability were secured by $83.6 million in letters of credit, which were unused, compared to $55.4 million as of December 31,
2003. The increase in the letters of credit resulted primarily as the surety bond market has deteriorated and the Company has replaced surety bonds with letters of credit. Additionally the increase resulted from the Company becoming a stand-alone
entity and having to obtain letters of credit rather than relying on UPC letters of credit.



GoodwillAs a result of the acquisition of Motor Cargo, the Company recognized $13.2 million in goodwill and $3.0 million in non-amortizable intangible assets. The Company expects to perform the required
annual goodwill impairment assessment on a recurring basis at the end of the third quarter each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances resulting in goodwill impairment arise.

forward-looking information except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect
to other forward-looking statements.



OVERVIEW



The Company is a leading, predominantly non-union provider
of LTL transportation services, offering a full spectrum of regional, inter-regional and long-haul LTL services nationwide. In addition to our core LTL service, we also provide our customers with a number of additional value-added LTL services,
including expedited and guaranteed delivery, cross-border, assembly and distribution, trade show, government and third party logistics services. We serve a diverse customer base through a network of 207 service centers located near metropolitan
centers. We draw customers from varying industries and geographic markets, including customers in the retail, chemical, automotive, electronics and furniture industries.



From 1986 until November 5, 2003, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of UPC. Although we operated as a separate
business, distinct from UPCs other activities, we relied on UPC for certain support functions, as well as financial support. Following the Divestiture Transaction, we no longer receive interest

income from UPC, which accounted for $7.0 million of interest income in the first six months of 2003. Furthermore we have incurred certain costs in
connection with operating as a stand-alone company that will exceed the costs that were incurred or were charged to us by UPC. These stand-alone costs include certain administrative costs for services previously performed for us by UPC, such as cash
management, internal audit and information services, as well as incremental costs we will incur, including SEC compliance, insurance, corporate secretary, shareholder relations, government relations and non-employee director costs. In addition,
Overnite incurred indebtedness under the Credit Agreement in order to pay a cash dividend to UPC in connection with the Divestiture Transaction, and may incur future indebtedness to finance working capital, capital expenditures, other general
corporate purposes and to support letters of credit.



MANAGEMENT SUMMARY



Operating revenue for the three months ended June 30,
2004 was $418.5 million, an increase of $46.5 million or 12.5% from $372.0 million for the comparable period of 2003. Total operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $389.3 million, an increase of $38.3 million or 10.9% from
$351.0 million for the comparable period of 2003. The growth in operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 exceeded the growth in operating expense from the comparable period in 2003 as a result of growth in the economy, general
tightness in the TL market, the implementation of new hours of service rules and a general rate increase of approximately 5.95%, effective June 7, 2004, which impacts approximately 30-35% of tonnage.



The following table sets forth certain statement of income data expressed as
a percentage of operating revenue.

Operating Revenue



The following table presents our analysis of the components of operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004. Operating revenue is affected
by weight hauled, LTL revenue per LTL hundredweight (Rate Factor) including LTL fuel surcharge, and volume of shipments of our dedicated truckload service.

|(1) | Effective January 1, 2004 LTL weight, shipments, LTL weight per LTL shipment and LTL Rate Factor include all shipments with weight under 10,000 pounds. TL weight and shipments
include shipments with weight of 10,000 pounds or more. Previously, LTL and TL shipments and weight were determined by weight as well as the size of the shipment. Weight, shipments, LTL weight per LTL shipment and LTL Rate Factor for all periods of
2003 have been recalculated on a basis consistent with the new definition.

For the three months ended June 30, 2004,
operating revenue increased $46.5 million. The increase in operating revenue resulted from a 10.9% increase in LTL weight hauled. This volume increase contributed approximately $36.5 million in additional operating revenue. The LTL Rate Factor
increased 0.2%. The change in the LTL Rate Factor, which increased operating revenue approximately $0.7 million, is the result of increased revenue from fuel surcharges partially offset by shorter length of haul, slightly reduced average class and

weight per shipment. Our dedicated truckload revenue increased $3.2 million due to a change in customer mix and an increase in shipments resulting from the
addition of two new customers during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. TL revenue increased $5.7 million as a result of a 27.2% increase in weight hauled. Fuel surcharge revenue, which is included in the preceding amounts referenced in this
paragraph, was $20.7 million, an increase of $9.5 million, or 84.8%, over $11.2 million for the comparable period of 2003.



Overnite Transportation:Operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $372.7 million, an increase of $40.9 million or
12.3%, from $331.8 million for the comparable period in 2003. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, LTL volume increased 11.2%, contributing approximately $33.4 million in additional revenue.



The LTL Rate Factor decreased by 0.3%, reducing operating revenue by
approximately $1.0 million. Dedicated truckload service contributed $3.2 million in additional operating revenue from truckload services increased by $5.3 million. LTL weight per LTL shipment increased by 10.4%. Fuel surcharge revenue was $18.3
million, an increase of $8.2 million, or 81.2%, from $10.1 million for the comparable period in 2003.



Motor Cargo:For the three months ended June 30, 2004, operating revenue was $45.9 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 14.2%, from
$40.2 million in the comparable period of 2003. LTL operating revenue increased $4.9 million as LTL weight hauled increased 9.2%. Truckload services and other services contributed $0.8 million in additional operating revenue. Fuel surcharge revenue
was $2.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 118.2%, from $1.1 million for the comparable period in 2003.



Operating Expenses



For the three months ended June 30, 2004, operating expenses were $389.3 million, an increase of $38.3 million, or 10.9%, from $351.0 million for the comparable period in 2003. As a percentage of operating revenue, operating expenses
improved to 93.0% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 94.4% for the comparable period of 2003, and 94.8% on a pro forma basis for 2003.



For the three months ended June 30, 2004 operating expenses as compared to actual and pro forma 2003 (as described above)
were primarily affected by changes in salaries, wages and employee benefits; supplies and expenses; claims and insurance; rents and purchased transportation, depreciation and other expenses. The discussion of our calculation of pro forma items and
reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure begins on page 23. Discussion and analysis of these items follows.

Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits:



Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 57.4% of operating revenue in the
period, compared to 59.4% for the comparable period in 2003 and 59.5% of operating revenue for the comparable period of 2003 on a pro forma basis. This 2.0 percentage point improvement as a percent of operating revenue resulted from our increased
volume of transportation services, while maintaining some control over wage and benefit costs. The 8.7% increase in salaries, wages and employee benefits from $220.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 to $239.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 was due to wage inflation and a 4.0% increase in the average number of employees over the period.



Salaries and wages increased by $14.0 million primarily due to a 4% increase in the average number of employees resulting from the increase in LTL volume
shipped. Pro Forma 2003 expenses include human resources costs for internal audit, accounting, tax and treasury functions. We anticipate that salary costs will increase marginally as we further develop staffing required as a stand-alone entity.



Employee benefit expenses increased $5.1 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2004 and were primarily affected by pension and other post employment benefit cost increases and the 4.0% increase in the average number of employees. Expenses related to pension and other post retirement benefits were $12.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.9 million, or 17.6%, from $10.8 million in the comparable period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the lower than expected returns on pension assets in the years
2000 through 2002 and declines in interest rates. Payroll taxes were $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 an increase of $1.2 million, or 6.2%, from $19.5 million for the comparable period of 2003. The cost of healthcare benefits
for active employees was $20.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $0.4 million, or 2.0%, from $20.0 million in the comparable period in 2003. Pro forma 2003 expense includes benefits associated with the additional
staffing described above.



Supplies and Expenses:



Supplies and expenses increased to 8.9% of operating
revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2004 from 8.2% in the comparable period of 2003. The increase in expense was primarily due to a 33.1% increase in fuel expense. Fuel expense was $20.5 million for the 2004 period compared to $15.4 million
in 2003 and the increase is a result of a 6.1% increase in miles driven and a 22.6% increase in the cost of fuel compared to 2003. Fuel expense for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 does not include fuel surcharges that the Company paid
to third-party carriers who provided purchased transportation. Maintenance and facilities supplies expenses were $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $1.7 million, or 11.2%, from $15.2 million in the comparable
period in 2003. Maintenance and facilities supplies expenses increased as a result of increased volume and an associated 6.1% increase in miles driven during the three months ended June 30, 2004.



Claims and Insurance:



Claims and insurance expenses decreased to 3.6% of operating revenue in the
three months ended June 30, 2004 from 4.0% for the comparable period in 2003 and 4.1% for the comparable period in 2003 on a pro forma basis. Expenses increased by $0.1 million or 1.0% from the comparable period of 2003 as insurance expense
increased by $0.7 million, partially offset by a reduction of $0.6 million in our provisions for liability reserves for injury or property damages. Pro forma 2003 expense includes $0.6 million of incremental costs for directors and officers
insurance coverage and other insurance coverages necessary as a stand-alone entity.



Rents and Purchased Transportation:



Rents and purchased transportation expenses increased to 10.8% of operating revenue from 10.2% in 2003 on an actual basis, and increased by $7.4 million, or 19.6%, from the 2003 level of expenditures as a result of
the 13.4% increase in tonnage hauled and an increase in the rates charged by third-party carriers, primarily related to higher costs such as fuel and insurance. During the three months ended June 30, 2004 we increased the use of other carriers to
supplement our resources and provide flexibility in connection with higher tonnage levels in the quarter.

|(1) | Effective January 1, 2004 LTL weight, shipments, LTL weight per LTL shipment and LTL Rate Factor include all shipments with weight under 10,000 pounds. TL weight and shipments
include shipments with weight of 10,000 pounds or more. Previously, LTL and TL shipments and weight were determined by weight as well as the size of the shipment. Weight, shipments, LTL weight per LTL shipment and LTL Rate Factor for all periods of
2003 have been recalculated on a basis consistent with the new definition.

|(2) | LTL revenue per LTL hundredweight (also identified as LTL Rate Factor) is calculated by dividing the sum of LTL revenue for OTC and Motor Cargo by LTL weight hauled.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



For the six months ended June 30, 2004,
operating revenue increased $83.9 million, or 11.8%, to $797.1 million from $713.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in operating revenue resulted from an 11.2% increase in LTL weight hauled. This volume increase
contributed approximately $71.4 million in additional operating revenue, which was partially offset by the 0.7% decrease in the LTL Rate Factor. The change in the LTL Rate Factor reduced operating revenue approximately $5.0 million and is a result
of higher weight per shipment, slightly lower average freight class and decreased length of haul, partially offset by increased revenue from fuel surcharges. Our dedicated truckload revenue increased $6.7 million due to an increase in shipments
resulting from a change in customer mix and the addition of two new customers during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. TL revenue increased $9.9 million as a result of a 24.0% increase in weight hauled. Fuel surcharge revenue, which is included in
the preceding amounts referenced in this paragraph, was $35.2 million, an increase of $12.6 million, or 55.8%, compared to $22.6 million for the comparable period in 2003.



Overnite Transportation:For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating revenue at OTC was $711.0 million,

by 1.1%, reducing operating revenue by approximately $6.9 million. Dedicated truckload service contributed $6.7 million in additional revenue and operating revenue from truckload services increased by $9.1 million as a result of a 27.3% increase in
weight hauled. Fuel surcharge revenue was $31.3 million an increase of $10.9 million, or 53.4%, compared to $20.4 million for the comparable period in 2003.



Motor Cargo:For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating revenue at Motor Cargo was $86.1 million, an increase of $9.9 million, or
13.1%, from $76.1 million in the comparable period of 2003. Operating revenue at Motor Cargo from LTL business increased by $8.2 million as a result of a 10.1% increase in LTL volume. Truckload services and other services contributed $1.7 million in
additional operating revenue. Fuel surcharge revenue was $3.9 million, an increase of $1.7 million, or 77.3%, compared to $2.2 million for the comparable period in 2003.



Operating Expenses



For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating expenses were $753.9 million, an increase of $74.3 million, or 10.9%, from $679.6 million for the
comparable period in 2003. As a percentage of operating revenue, operating expenses were 94.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 95.3% for the comparable period of 2003. Operating expenses, on a pro forma basis, were $683.2 million, or
95.8% of operating revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and included $3.6 million in stand-alone expenses, which represent incremental costs incurred following the Divestiture Transaction.



For the six months ended June 30, 2004 operating expenses as compared to
actual and pro forma 2003 were primarily affected by changes in salaries, wages and employee benefits, supplies and expenses, claims and insurance, rents and purchased transportation, depreciation and other expenses. The discussion of our
calculation of pro forma items and reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure begins on page 23. Discussion and analysis of these items follows:

Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits:



Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 58.6% of operating revenue in the 2004 period, compared to 60.1% for the
comparable period in 2003, and 60.2% for the comparable period in 2003 on a pro forma basis. This 1.5 percentage point improvement as a percentage of operating revenue resulted from our increased volume of transportation services while maintaining
some control over wage and benefit costs. Salaries, wages and employee benefits, for the six months ended June 30, 2003, on a pro forma basis, included $0.9 million of incremental costs related to staff needed as a stand-alone entity.

##### Table of Contents

The $38.4 million, or 9.0%, increase in salaries and wages compared to the same period in 2003 was due to
wage inflation and a 3.6% increase in the average number of employees over the period. The increase in the number of employees was primarily due to the increase in LTL volume shipped.



Employee benefit expense increased $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 over the comparable period in 2003.
Employee benefit expenses were primarily affected by pension, other post employment benefits and employee healthcare cost increases and the 3.6% increase in the average number of employees. Expenses related to pension and other post retirement
benefits were $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $4.1 million, or 19.2%, from $21.3 million in the comparable period in 2003. This increase was primarily attributable to the lower than expected returns on pension
assets in 2000 through 2002 and declines in interest rates. The cost of healthcare benefits for active employees was $41.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $3.3 million, or 8.7%, from $38.1 million in the comparable
period in 2003. Payroll taxes were $39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 an increase of $2.3 million, or 6.2%, from $37.1 million for the comparable period of 2003.



Supplies and Expenses:



Supplies and expenses increased to 8.8% of operating revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 8.5% in the comparable period of 2003. The
increase in expense was primarily due to a 19.3% increase in fuel expense. Fuel expense was $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $32.1 million for the comparable period in 2003. The increase is the result of a 6.2%
increase in miles driven and a 10% increase in the cost of fuel as compared to 2003. Fuel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 does not include fuel surcharges that the Company paid to third-party carriers who provided purchased
transportation. Maintenance and facilities supplies expenses were $31.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $3.2 million, or 11.2%, from $28.5 million in the comparable period in 2003. Maintenance and facilities supplies
expenses increased as a result of increased volume and an associated 6.2% increase in miles driven during the six months ended June 30, 2004.



Claims and Insurance:



Claims and insurance expenses decreased to 3.4% of operating revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 3.5% for the comparable period in 2003,
and 3.7% for the comparable period in 2003 on a pro forma basis. Claims and insurance expenses increased $2.0 million, or 7.9%, as provisions to our liability reserves for injury or property damages increased by $0.4 million and insurance expense
increased by $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Pro forma claims and insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 include $1.2 million of incremental costs related to directors and officers insurance coverage and other
coverages necessary as a stand-alone entity.



Rents and
Purchased Transportation:



Rents and purchased
transportation expenses, as a percentage of operating revenue, increased to 10.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 10.3% for the comparable period of 2003. These costs include the use of other trucking carriers for both
inter-city and local delivery services to supplement our resources, provide flexibility and enable us to maintain service levels as we absorbed the 13.2% increase in total volume. The growth in these costs also reflects an increase in the rates
charged by third-party carriers, primarily related to higher costs such as fuel and insurance. These cost increases were partially offset by a reduction in the use of rail carriers to provide long distance haul support, which decreased by $1.2
million, or 8.7%, from the comparable period of 2003.



Other:



As a percentage of operating revenue,
other expenses increased to 4.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2004, from 3.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and 3.8% for the comparable period in 2003 on a pro forma basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, our provision for
bad debt increased $5.2 million over

2004 over the comparable period of 2003. Other expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003, on a pro forma basis, include $1.3 million in stand-alone expenses, which represent incremental legal and professional fees incurred subsequent to the
Divestiture Transaction.



Overnite Transportation:Operating expenses at OTC were $673.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $66.0 million, or 10.9%, from $607.1 million for the comparable period in 2003 due to the factors discussed above. Operating expenses on a
pro forma basis for the six months ended June 30, 2003 included $3.6 million in incremental stand-alone expenses.



Motor Cargo:Operating expenses at Motor Cargo were $80.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $8.3 million, or
11.3%, from $72.5 million for the comparable period in 2003 due to the factors described above.

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating income was $43.2 million, an increase of $9.6 million, or 28.6%, compared to $33.6 million in the comparable period of 2003, and $30.0 million on a pro forma basis in 2003. Our operating
ratio was 94.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to 95.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and 95.8% for the comparable period of 2003 on a pro forma basis.



Overnite Transportation:For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating income at OTC was $37.9 million, an
increase of $7.9 million, or 26.3%, from $30.0 million in the comparable period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the operating ratio for OTC improved to 94.7%, compared to 95.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and 95.2% for
the comparable period of 2003 on a pro forma basis.



Motor Cargo:For the six months ended June 30, 2004, operating income at Motor Cargo was $5.3 million, an increase of 48.1% from $3.6 million in the comparable period of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the
operating ratio for Motor Cargo was 93.8%, compared to 95.3% for the comparable period of 2003.



Other Income and Expense Items



Other income and expense items netted to expense of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, a decrease of $9.0 million, compared to income of $6.5 million for the comparable period of 2003. For the six
months ended June 30, 2004, there was no interest income received from UPC, compared with $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease was the result of no longer receiving intercompany interest income after the Divestiture
Transaction.Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $2.6 million, an increase of $1.8 million, compared to $0.8 million for the comparable period of 2003, primarily as a result of the debt incurred in connection with the
Divestiture Transaction. Pro forma other income and expense reflects the absence of $7.0 million of intercompany interest income and the addition of $2.4 million to reflect interest expense for debt incurred related to the Divestiture Transaction
for the six months ended June 30, 2003.



Income Taxes



Income taxes were $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004,
with an effective tax rate of 40.2%, compared to $16.1 million in the comparable period of 2003, with an effective tax rate of 40.1%. Pro forma income taxes reflect the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments described above with an effective tax
rate of 40.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2003.



Net Income



As a result of the foregoing, net income for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 was $24.3 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.3%, from $24.0 million in the comparable period of 2003. OTC contributed $21.0 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $21.6 million in
net income in the

comparable period of 2003. Motor Cargo contributed $3.3 million of net income in the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to $2.4 million in net income
in the comparable period of 2003. Net income for the comparable period in 2003 on a pro forma basis would have been $16.2 million as a result of the adjustments described above.



Pro forma results and reconciliation to GAAP financial measures



We believe that the most effective way to discuss and analyze our current performance compared to prior periods is to
include a discussion of actual results for both periods and also to compare the actual results for 2004 with a pro forma presentation of 2003. As described in Basis of Presentation in Item 1 of this report, we became a stand-alone public
company on November 5, 2003 as a result of the Divestiture Transaction. Pro forma results have been provided to present 2003 results as if we had been a public entity as of January 1, 2003.



We have included pro forma operating expenses, the resulting pro forma
operating income and pro forma operating ratio, pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share amounts (basic and diluted) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 in addition to results prepared under generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We believe that these pro forma, non-GAAP financial measures are more reflective of our continuing operations as they present investors with information about the impact of the
divestiture from UPC and the initial public offering on our financial results and, in doing so, improve transparency to investors and enhance period-to-period comparability of operations and financial performance.



These pro forma financial measures are alternatives to measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. They should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Set forth below is a reconciliation of these pro forma non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Net cash provided by operating activities was $50.0
million during the first six months of 2004, a decrease of $23.4 million, or 31.8%, from $73.4 million during the comparable period of 2003. Net cash from operations is attributable primarily to net income, adjusted for depreciation, changes in
working capital items and pension plan contributions. The decrease in cash provided is primarily attributable to the receipt of a $25.4 million income tax refund in the first six months of 2003. The refund was the result of pension contributions
made in the fourth quarter of 2002. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 we made $25.0 million of voluntary contributions to our pension plans compared to a $30.3 million of voluntary contributions in the comparable period of 2003.



Our business requires substantial ongoing capital investments,
particularly for replacement of revenue equipment such as tractors and trailers. Capital expenditures totaled $15.6 million in the first six months of 2004 compared to $27.6 million for the comparable period of 2003, as set forth in the following
table:

During the first six
months of 2004, we acquired 71 tractors and 322 trailers, which replaced older units in our fleet. The $6.5 million decrease in capital expenditures between the first six months of 2004 and 2003 relates primarily to the acquisition of a service
center in Bakersfield, California in the first quarter of 2003 and timing of the purchase of revenue equipment. We expect capital expenditures to total approximately $85 million for the year ended December 31, 2004.



Historically, our capital expenditures have been funded primarily through
cash provided by operations and to a lesser extent by the proceeds from sales of used equipment and facilities. We generated cash proceeds from the sale of used tractors and trailers in the amount of $0.8 million in the first six months of 2004
compared to $0.6 million in the comparable period of 2003.

##### Table of Contents

Financing activities prior to the Divestiture Transaction consisted primarily of cash forwarded to UPC,
including dividends and intercompany cash advances. Cash dividends were historically paid in an amount equal to $16.0 million per year. Intercompany cash advances were made to UPC periodically each month when cash was generated in excess of what is
anticipated to fund our operations, including expected capital expenditures. Neither dividend payments to UPC nor cash advances to or from UPC continued after the Divestiture Transaction.



During the first six months of 2004 we paid dividends of $2.2 million to our shareholders and repaid $7.3 million of debt,
including $1.0 million to repay a note payable to UPC. During the first six months of 2003, we forwarded cash to UPC, including dividends and intercompany advances, totaling $41.3 million.



Based on our current level of operations and our anticipated growth, we
believe that cash flow from operations and other available sources of liquidity, including borrowings under our new bank credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months and for our currently anticipated needs beyond
that period.



Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments



We have contractual obligations and commercial
commitments that may affect our financial condition. Based on our assessment of the underlying provisions and circumstances of our material contractual obligations and commercial commitments there is no known trend, demand, commitment, event or
uncertainty that we believe is reasonably likely to occur which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, our commercial obligations, financings and commitments are customary
transactions which are similar to those of other comparable corporations within the transportation industry.



The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2004:

| | has leased the facilities, under an operating lease, for an initial term of five years with provisions for renewal for an extended period subject to
agreement between OTC and the Lessor. At any time during the lease, OTC may, at its option, purchase the facilities at approximately the amount expended by the Lessor. If OTC elects not to purchase the building or renew the lease, the building would
be returned to the Lessor for remarketing, and OTC has guaranteed a residual value equal to 85% of the total construction related costs. If OTC elects not to renew the lease or purchase the building, the guarantee will be approximately $11.2
million. An $0.8 million liability was recorded associated with our guarantee related to the South Holland, Illinois service center. This liability is being amortized over the life of the lease and will expire April 30, 2006.

|(2) | Purchase obligations include $39.3 million in commitments for revenue equipment with delivery expected in the third quarter and $5.5 million in commitments for construction of a new
service center in Montgomery, New York which we plan to open in early 2005. Purchase obligations exclude commitments less than $250 that are incurred and approved by service center managers for safety, maintenance or operation of the location.

Concurrent with the Divestiture Transaction, Overnite and OTC entered into a $300 million Credit Agreement with a syndicate
of lenders. The Credit Agreement provides for aggregate commitments of $300 million, consisting of (1) a term loan facility of $125 million and (2) a revolving loan facility of $175 million, of which up to a maximum of $150 million is available for
the issuance of letters of credit. Availability under the revolving loan facility will be reduced by outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility. Borrowings under the term loan in the amount of $125 million were used to pay a portion of
the cash dividend to UPC in connection with the Divestiture Transaction. The remaining $3 million of the cash dividend was funded with the initial borrowings under the revolving loan facility. The remaining availability under the revolving loan
facility will be available for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate purposes and to support letters of credit. The terms of the Credit Agreement also provide for an increase, at our option, in the aggregate commitments under the
facility from $300 million to $350 million, either by adding additional lenders or by agreeing with existing lenders to increase their commitments. Each of the term loan and the revolving loan facility has a maturity of five years.



Borrowings under the term loan and revolving loan facility bear interest, at
our option, at either adjusted LIBOR or the alternate base rate, plus a spread based upon our credit rating. The rate of interest at June 30, 2004 was 2.84%. Outstanding letters of credit to be issued under the revolving loan facility will be
subject to a per annum fee equal to the applicable spread over adjusted LIBOR for revolving loans.



The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants customary for financings of this type. Specifically, the Credit Agreement
contains financial covenants regarding maximum leverage ratios, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a minimum asset coverage ratio. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Overnite and certain of our domestic subsidiaries,
including Motor Cargo, and are secured by a first-priority lien on and security interest in all of the capital stock of Overnite Holding, Overnite, Inc. and OTC, as well as all of the capital stock held by OTC and any guarantor under the Credit
Agreement.



Pension Plans



We provide defined pension benefits to eligible employees of OTC and Motor
Cargo. OTC pension benefits are based on years of service and compensation during employment and cover substantially all employees. Motor Cargo pension benefits are based solely upon years of service.



On April 10, 2004, the Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 (the
Act) was approved. As a result, discount rates used to calculate pension funding requirements for 2004 and 2005 will be based upon long-term corporate bond rates. In years prior to 2004, discount rates used to calculate pension funding
requirements were based upon the 30-year Treasury rate which in general have been slightly lower than those required under the Act.

##### Table of Contents

We made voluntary contributions of $25 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004 and we intend to
voluntarily contribute an additional $5 million to our pension plans in the remainder of 2004, although no contributions are required. We plan to contribute $45.0 million to the pension plans in 2005 although future contributions may be affected by
a change in interest rates and returns generated on plan assets.



Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates



The preparation of our
financial statements requires estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The following are our critical accounting policies that affect
significant areas of our operations and involve judgments and estimates. If these estimates differ materially from actual results, the impact on the consolidated financial statements may be material.



Revenue Recognition, including Agency and Interline Transactions



Operating revenue is recognized in accordance with
Emerging Issues Task Force 91-9, Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process, which requires us to use the percentage of completion method, based upon average transit time, for transactions where we are the sole
provider. Expenses related to operating revenue are recognized as incurred. We periodically contract with third party carriers to perform transportation services for our customers. When we are the primary obligor for these services, meaning we are
responsible for pricing, loss or damage and credit risk, we record revenue gross for the entire amount billed to the customer, and operating expenses for the amount paid to the third party carriers in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force
99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. When we are not the primary obligor for these transportation services, we record revenue net of the amounts paid to third party carriers. Completed but unpaid
interline obligations are accrued for in the month in which the shipment was made.



Claims and Insurance



Claims and insurance costs, which primarily result from property damage, bodily injury, freight damage and workers compensation, are accrued using current information and future estimates to arrive at an estimated ultimate value of
claims, less recovery and mitigation credits. These ultimate values are based on assumptions related to the rates of growth in medical costs, general inflation, the normal elapsed time required to adjudicate and settle claims and a predicted pattern
of injury severity for claims incurred but not reported. In many cases, independent actuaries are retained to render an opinion so that we may value our reserve requirements in a way that is fair, complete and as accurate as possible based on the
information available.



We accrue for cargo claims on a
per-shipment basis using a method that takes into account the claims experience, including efforts to mitigate the original claim value, and lag time between shipment and the filing date of the claim. The accuracy of our assumptions relating to
claims and insurance costs may be affected by a number of factors. Based on the nature of our business, there may be temporary or permanent reductions or increases in the number of incidents, the severity of the incident and the secondary coverage
provided by insurance. Other factors outside of our control that may contribute to casualty costs include weather severity in parts of the country, road, bridge and tunnel conditions and tire, brake and power train technology and performance. In the
event that actual costs for claims and insurance exceed our original estimates, we will incur expenses in future periods. In addition, we may adjust our underlying assumptions that result in the estimated ultimate claim value. Any of these events
could have a material effect on our financial results for future periods.



Healthcare, Pension and Other Post Employment Benefits



Independent consultants and actuaries are used to develop estimates of healthcare, pension and other post employment benefits, or OPEB, costs. With regard
to pension obligations, actuarial consultants provide

##### Table of Contents

valuations of the future obligations compared to the value of plan assets and earnings of the plan assets for the current and future years, using
demographics of the current and future work force. We exercise oversight over the basic assumptions used to develop pension, healthcare and OPEB costs, including an estimated rate of asset returns, salary increases, discount rates and rates of
inflation of medical costs, the demographic assumptions of the current and future work force and life expectancy of the retired work force. Information regarding these assumptions is set forth in the notes to our audited consolidated financial
statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, and these assumptions are evaluated for fairness by our actuaries.



Expenses and required contributions to the OTC and Motor Cargo pension plans have been and will continue to be determined based upon the use of market
related values, which is a valuation method that recognizes changes in the value of assets over five years. The assumptions we use to estimate healthcare, pension and OPEB costs may differ significantly from actual results due to a number of
factors, including changing economic conditions, withdrawal rates, participant life spans and changes in actual costs of healthcare. These differences may have a material effect on the amount of expenses we record for these costs.



Goodwill and Intangible Assets



Under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets (FAS 142), goodwill and other intangible assets having indefinite useful lives are periodically tested for impairment and a charge is taken to the extent of any impairment. Under FAS 142, we are required to perform
impairment tests at least annually, and we have elected to perform our annual impairment tests at the end of the third quarter of each fiscal year. We are also required to perform impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets may not be recoverable. The acquisition of Motor Cargo was accounted for as a purchase transaction and the purchase price was allocated among tangible assets, intangible assets and goodwill,
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and FAS 142. Our statement of financial position as of June 30, 2004 includes a non-amortizable intangible asset related to the Motor Cargo brand name of $3.0 million and
goodwill of $13.2 million. We completed our annual review of goodwill and intangible assets to test for impairment and concluded that there was no indication of impairment, as of September 30, 2003, with respect to goodwill or intangible assets.



Environmental Matters



We generate and transport hazardous and nonhazardous materials and we are
subject to Federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. A liability of $0.7 million has been accrued as of June 30, 2004 for future cleanup costs at all petroleum storage and hazardous substance release sites where our obligation is
probable and where such costs can be reasonably estimated. We believe that we have adequately identified and estimated the ultimate share of costs at sites where we are alleged to be subject to joint and several liability. Future environmental
obligations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.



We have been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency that we are a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or CERCLA, at four hazardous waste sites. Under CERCLA, we may be jointly and severally liable for all site remediation and expenses. We have investigated the nature and costs of potential
response actions at these sites and our own involvement, alone and in relation to the involvement of other named potentially responsible parties, in waste disposal or waste generation at such sites. We have either resolved such liabilities through
de minimis settlements or we have taken the position that our obligations with respect to all such sites not subject to settlement will involve immaterial monetary liability, though there can be no assurances in this regard. Furthermore, we believe
we are in material compliance with all laws applicable to our operations and we are not aware of any situation or condition that we believe is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operation.

Seasonality



Our shipment level and revenue mix is subject to seasonal trends common in the transportation industry. Financial results in the first and fourth quarters
are normally lower due to reduced shipments during the winter months. Harsh winter weather can also adversely impact our performance by reducing demand and increasing operating expenses including costs related to accidents. The second and third
quarters reflect increased demand for services during the spring and summer months, which generally results in improved operating margins.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk



When fuel costs exceed our planned levels, we seek to charge a portion of the higher cost to our customers through a fuel surcharge. While we have
historically been able to offset significant increases in fuel prices through fuel surcharges, we cannot be certain that we will be able to do so in the future. The fuel surcharges we negotiate with our customers only apply when our fuel costs
exceed specified levels. Accordingly, in order to protect against fluctuations in fuel prices that will not be covered by fuel surcharges, we have historically entered into fuel hedging arrangements. In the event we are not hedged, we are at risk to
the extent that changes in the market price of fuel are not covered by our negotiated fuel surcharge arrangements. Alternatively, while the use of fuel hedging arrangements may provide us with protection from adverse fluctuations in fuel prices, by
utilizing these arrangements we potentially forgo the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in fuel prices or, in some cases, we may incur hedging losses. We have not hedged any of our remaining forecasted fuel consumption for 2004.



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them, in a timely manner, to material information relating to the Company (including its
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Companys periodic SEC filings.



Additionally, during the period covered by this report, there has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
