PART I

Item 1.      Business.

                  KLLM Transport Services, Inc. (through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, KLLM, Inc., and KLLM, Inc.'s wholly-owned 
subsidiaries, KLLM Maintenance, Inc., Gulf Logistics,
Inc., KLLM Contract Logistics, Inc., KLLM Trading Company, and Fresh
International Transportation Services, Inc., hereinafter referred to as 
"the Company") is an irregular-route common carrier that specializes in 
providing high-quality transportation service in North
America.  The Company primarily serves the continental United States,
Canada and Mexico. 

    The Company, a Delaware corporation, is the successor by merger to KLLM
Distributing, Inc. ("KLLM Distributing"), a Mississippi corporation, 
incorporated in 1964. The Company owns all
of the outstanding shares of KLLM, Inc., a Texas corporation, which owns
(either in fee or as lessee) and operates substantially all of the Company's 
tractors and trailers and holds all of the operating rights presently 
used in the Company's business. 

    The Company offers transportation services for both temperature-
controlled and dry commodities.  It strives to provide dependable and timely 
service designed to meet the specialized needs of its customers.  The majority 
of the Company's revenues, approximately 70%, are in the temperature-
controlled sector.  Protective service is provided on commodities
such as food, medical supplies and cosmetics.  Service offerings include
over-the-road long haul, regional and intermodal transportation.  These 
services are provided via:  1) the traditional over-the-road temperature-
controlled freight operations with both Company-operated and owner-operated 
equipment, 2) the intermodal, or rail services, operation, which handles 
movement of freight in temperature-controlled trailers and containers on flat 
cars carried by the rail industry, and 3) the dry-van over-the-road truckload 
services, which began May 1, 1995 with the acquisition of substantially all 
of the assets of Vernon Sawyer, Inc., a regional dry-van truckload
carrier based in Bastrop, Louisiana.  During 1996, the Company
reintegrated the rail operations with the truck operations and closed the 
freight brokerage division. The Company is now
structured to comprise three core truckload operations: the Transport
Group, Express Systems; and Vernon Sawyer. 
             
     The Company currently owns (or leases) and operates substantially all 
of its fleet. On January 3, 1997, the Company's fleet consisted of 1,390
Company-operated tractors and 366 owner-operated tractors, 2,114 temperature-
controlled trailers and 493 dry-van trailers, and 200
temperature-controlled rail containers. Capital resources required by
the Company during 1996 continued to be less significant than in prior years 
as the Company continued to maintain the overall size of the fleet by 
decreasing Company-owned equipment and increasing owner-operated equipment.  
In 1996, the Company-owned fleet decreased by 95 tractors and 36
temperature controlled trailers, net of replacements.  Capital
expenditures, net of proceeds from trade-ins during 1996, were approximately 
$20,153,000.  Net capital expenditures in 1995 were
$8,724,000.  Capital resources required by the Company during 1995 were
much less significant primarily because KLLM, Inc., in January 1995, entered 
into an operating lease for the majority of its revenue equipment needs for 
1995.  The payment terms of the operating lease were more
favorable than could have been obtained with financing or capital
leasing.  This was not the case for 1996.  Net capital expenditures in 1997 
are expected to be approximately $11,906,000. 



Marketing and Operations

     Because the Company specializes in temperature-controlled shipments, it
constantly seeks to increase the percentage of its revenue derived from
freight requiring controlled temperatures because rates on these loads are 
generally higher than dry freight (non-temperature-controlled) loads and 
result in higher returns on the Company's more expensive
temperature-controlled equipment.  For the year ended January 3, 1997,
approximately 70% of the Company's revenues resulted from temperature-
controlled loads.  The remaining 30% resulted from dry freight loads that 
required special service or that positioned equipment for the
next load. The Company seeks customers who need a number of trucks per
week committed to long hauls and who require dependable service in meeting 
scheduling requirements.

    The Company's full-time staff of ten (10) salespersons, along with each 
division's executive,  is responsible for developing new accounts.  Once a 
customer relationship is established, the primary Company contact is one of 
eight (8) area managers.  Working from the Company's corporate headquarters 
in Jackson, Mississippi, the area managers contact existing
customers to solicit additional business.

    The Company has driver terminal operations in Georgia, Texas,  Louisiana,
California, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Mississippi.  Maintenance
facilities are located in Mississippi,  Georgia, and Texas.

    The Company's largest 25, 10 and 5 customers accounted
for approximately 55%, 42%, and 32%, respectively, of its revenue for the 
year ended January 3, 1997.  During 1996,  no one customer accounted for more 
than 10% of the Company's revenues. 

Maintenance

    The Company has a comprehensive preventive maintenance program for its
tractors and trailers, which is carried out at its Jackson, Mississippi,
Dallas, Texas, and Atlanta, Georgia facilities.  The Company's policy is to 
purchase standardized tractors and trailers manufactured to Company 
specifications. Standardization enables the Company to control the
cost of its spare parts inventory and streamline its preventive
maintenance program.

    Manufacturers of tractors are required to certify that
new tractors meet federal emissions standards, and the Company receives this 
certification on each new tractor it acquires.  Environmental protection 
measures require the Company to adhere to a fuel and oil spill
prevention plan and to comply with regulations concerning the discharge
of waste oil.  The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable 
provisions relating to the protection of the environment.  Management does 
not anticipate that compliance with these provisions will
have a material effect on the Company's capital expenditures, earnings
or competitive position.

Personnel

     Drivers are recruited at all driver terminal
locations.  On January 3, 1997, the Company employed 1,636 drivers and had a 
total of 2,082 employees.  None of the Company's employees is represented by 
a collective bargaining unit.

Competition

     The Company competes primarily with other long-haul
temperature-controlled truckload carriers and with internal shipping conducted 
by existing and potential customers.  The Company also competes with other 
irregular-route long-haul truckload carriers, and to a lesser
extent, the railroads, for freight loads.  Although the increased
competition resulting from a combination of deregulation, weak market demand, 
and a shortage of qualified drivers has created some pressure to reduce rates,
the Company competes primarily on the basis of its quality
of service and efficiency.  

Trademark

    The Company's service mark, the KLLM logo, is registered with the United 
States Patent and Trademark Office.

Seasonality

    In the freight transportation industry generally, results of operations 
show a seasonal pattern because customers reduce shipments during and after 
the winter holiday season with its attendant weather variations.  The Company's
operating expenses have historically been higher in the winter months primarily
due to decreased fuel efficiency and increased maintenance
costs in colder weather.


Item 2.      Properties.

    The Company's corporate office is situated on approximately seven acres 
of land and contains approximately 20,600 square feet of office space.  Most 
of the Company's executive and administrative functions, except those that 
are driver-related, are housed in the corporate office.  The corporate office 
is located in Flowood, Mississippi, a suburb of Jackson.  In order to
accommodate the growth of the Company, additional space is leased in the
general vicinity of the corporate office for various executive and 
administrative functions.

   The Company also maintains a facility located in Richland, Mississippi, 
a suburb of Jackson, which houses all driver-related executive and 
administrative functions, including safety, driver training, maintenance, 
and driver recruiting.  The Company owns a portion of the
land on which this facility is located. The remainder is owned by
Benjamin C. Lee, Jr. and the Estate of William J. Liles, Jr.  The Company 
owns all of the improvements, consisting of
approximately 31,200 square feet of office space and approximately
52,000 square feet of equipment repair and maintenance space.  The Company 
has an option to purchase the Lee and Liles part of the land for $390,257.  
Mr. Lee and Mr. Liles' estate are principal shareholders of
the Company and Mr. Lee is Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors.

    The Company owns a maintenance and driver terminal
facility near Dallas, Texas.  This facility, which consists of approximately 
8,000 square feet of office space and 13,700 square feet of equipment repair 
and maintenance space, is located on approximately nine acres
of land.

    The Company also owns a maintenance and driver terminal operation in 
Atlanta, Georgia.  This facility, which includes two buildings containing
approximately 5,000 square feet of office space and 20,000 square feet of 
maintenance space, is located on approximately eighteen acres of land.

    Additionally, with the purchase of substantially all of the assets of 
Vernon Sawyer, Inc., effective May 1, 1995, the Company acquired 19.715 acres
of land with all improvements thereon.  The facilities located thereon 
include approximately 8,054 square feet of office space and 36,484 square
feet of maintenance space.

    The remaining driver terminal facilities are leased by
the Company pursuant to various short-term leases.


Item 3.      Legal Proceedings.

    The Company is involved in various claims and routine litigation 
incidental to its business.  Although the amount of ultimate liability, if 
any, with respect to these matters cannot be determined, management believes 
that these matters will not have a materially adverse effect
on the Company's consolidated financial position.

Item 4.      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

                  Not applicable.
