                            FUEL CARRIER AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made effective as of the 1st day of March,
2000 (the "Effective Date"), between PETRO STOPPING CENTERS, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Petro"), and C&R DISTRIBUTING, INC., a Texas Corporation
("Carrier").

                                    RECITALS

     a.   Petro owns and operates a chain of full service travel plazas known as
Petro Stopping Centers.  The Petro Stopping Center(s) which is (are) the subject
of this Agreement (the "Stopping Center" or "Stopping Centers", whether one or
more) is(are) set forth on "Schedule A" , attached hereto and made a part hereof
for all purposes.

     b.   Carrier is a fuel hauler in the United States market.

     c.   Petro desires to have delivered and Carrier desires to deliver fuel
from the various specified fuel terminals to  fuel tank or tanks designated by
Petro at the Stopping Center.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, covenants and conditions
provided for herein, Petro and Carrier hereby agree as follows:

                                   AGREEMENT

     1.   TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement is for an initial term of three (3)
years (the "Initial Term") commencing as of the Effective Date. Upon expiration
of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall renew for subsequent and successive
one (1) year terms (each, a "Renewal Term"), subject, however, to either party's
right to terminate this Agreement upon not less than ninety (90) days prior
written notice to the other during any such Renewal Term. Each Renewal Term
shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party hereto shall have the right
upon notice given on or before October 31 of any year during the term hereof, to
delete a Stopping Center location described on Exhibit A commencing as of
January 1 of the next year.

     Petro and Carrier acknowledge that the services to be provided by Carrier
will be "phased in" and implemented with regards to each of the Stopping Centers
between the Effective Date and May 1, 2000 ("Completion Date").  In the event
Carrier fails to complete the implementation of these Delivery Services (as
hereafter defined) at each of the Stopping Centers on or before the Completion
Date, Petro, at its election, may terminate this Agreement.

     2.   SALE OF EQUIPMENT.  Contemporaneously with the execution of this
Agreement, Petro has delivered to Carrier a Bill of Sale pursuant to which,
Petro has sold to Carrier certain trucks, trailers and equipment, which may be
used by Carrier in performing the Delivery Services.  From and after the
Effective Date, and pending the Completion Date and implementation of the
Delivery Services at each of the Stopping Centers, Carrier does hereby lease to
Petro the continued right to use the Equipment (as defined in the Bill of Sale)
for delivery of fuel to each of the Stopping Centers as required by Petro.
Carrier and Petro shall agree with respect to the order in which the Delivery
Services shall be implemented  at each of the Stopping Centers.

     3.   DELIVERY SERVICES.  Upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Petro hereby grants and demises unto Carrier a right to enter the Stopping
Center to deliver fuel to designated fuel tank or tanks at the Stopping Center
("Delivery Services").  Petro shall not be required to accept more fuel than is
desired by Petro at the time of any delivery.  Carrier shall deliver fuel to
Petro on a ratable, timely and mutually agreed upon schedule, which in any event
is within twenty-four hours of Petro's order.   Petro shall designate to Carrier
the quantities and from which terminals fuel is to be obtained on a daily basis.
Petro will obtain terminal access cards for Carrier and Carrier will use its
best efforts to comply with such terminal requirements.

     4.   FEE AND PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS.  Petro shall pay a per delivered gallon
freight rate for fuel, gasoline and/or diesel, at the time of delivery, at the
prices specified in Schedule A.  Invoices will be sent to Petro via DTN (FF01
CFAE) or by facsimile (915/774-7381) no later than seven (7) days after the date
of delivery.  Payment shall be made by Petro in the form of a check for fuel
delivered and accepted no later than ten (10) days after receipt of invoice.
Carrier's use of delivery receipts, purchase orders (or any other forms required
to be signed by Petro) are for the convenience of Carrier.

     Carrier and Petro shall agree upon the delivery charges to be paid by Petro
for the Delivery Services herein described based upon the following: (i) Pricing
to Petro under the terms of this Agreement shall be capped at the average of the
2 lowest common carrier bids obtained by Petro. (ii) Petro shall obtain
competitive bids from other common carriers on a location by location basis for
each Stopping Center location described on Schedule A.  These competitive bids
shall be used to calculate the average described in (i) above.  The average as
calculated will become the "CPG (cent per gallon) contract rate" and the maximum
rate payable by Petro hereunder.  (iii) In establishing the CPG contract rate,
however (a) if a common carrier bid under 1.5 cent per gallon is lower than the
next lowest common carrier bid by more than ten percent (10%), such common
carrier bid will not be used and (b) if a common carrier bid  1.5 cent per
gallon and is lower by more than fifteen percent (15%) than the next highest
common carrier bid, it will not be used.  Once established, the CPG contract
rate shall remain in effect and will be paid by  Petro to Carrier, subject to
adjustment as herein provided.

     Carrier will reconcile and Petro will review and approve the actual truck
operating costs incurred by Carrier semi-annually during the term of this
Agreement, commencing December 31, 2000 and continuing each June 30 and December
31 thereafter.  Information required to conduct the reconciliation shall be
provided to Petro by Carrier within thirty (30) days after each semi-annual
review date.  Such review and reconciliation will be based upon the pro-forma
set forth in Schedule B attached hereto and made a part hereof, and as a result
of such review and reconciliation, Carrier and Petro shall agree upon the actual
CPG rate on a location by location basis, and adjustments will be made as
follows:  (i)  in the event the actual CPG rate is greater than the CPG contract
rate, no adjustment will be made; (ii) however, if the actual CPG rate is less
than the contract CPG rate, Petro will receive fifty percent (50%) of such
difference in cash within fifteen (15) days of completion of the review and
reconciliation and Carrier will be entitled to retain the balance.

     Subject to the reconciliation procedures above, the CPG contract rate(s)
for the period between the Effective Date and December 31, 2001 are set forth on
Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof.  Petro shall be entitled to
obtain bids for the Delivery Services contemplated herein for purposes of
establishing the CPG contract rate for the year commencing January 1, 2002 and
annually thereafter with notice by October 31 of each year if Petro shall so
elect.

     Notwithstanding the CPG contract rate provided for herein, in an
environment of fluctuating fuel prices Carrier reserves the right to charge a
premium, delivery charge or other "surcharge" consistent with those charges then
being assessed by not less than two (2) other common carriers doing business in
the same transportation market.  In the event Carrier elects to impose such a
premium, delivery charge or other "surcharge", Carrier must give Petro not less
than fifteen (15) days prior written notice.  The right of Carrier to continue
to assess such a premium, delivery charge or other "surcharge" shall remain only
so long as such charges are imposed by not less than two (2) other common
carriers doing business in the same transportation market as the impacted
Stopping Center.

     5.   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.  In performing the Delivery Services, Carrier
shall operate as and have the status of an independent contractor and shall not
act as or be an agent or employee of Petro.  For this reason all of Carrier's
activities will be at its own risk and Carrier and its employees shall not be
entitled to Worker's Compensation, health insurance or similar benefits or other
insurance protection provided by Petro; on the contrary, Carrier shall make its
own arrangements for payment of hospital and medical costs for Carrier and its
employees in connection with an injury or illness and other insurance coverages
for the activities or work performed in connection with the Delivery Services.
Carrier is entirely independent of Petro; this Agreement creates no relationship
between the parties except as set forth herein.   As an independent contractor,
Carrier will be solely responsible for determining the means and methods for
performing the Delivery Services; provided, however, Carrier shall perform all
work at the

                                       2
<PAGE>

Stopping Center in a workmanlike, quiet, safe and clean manner, creating no
unnecessary disturbance of any type, in accordance with the standards maintained
by Petro in its other operations at the Stopping Center.

     6.   INDEMNIFICATION.  Carrier hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, protect
and hold harmless Petro and its related entities and all of their respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, authorized representatives,
successors, or assigns from and against any and all suits, actions, legal or
administrative proceedings, claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities,
interests, attorneys fees, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature and in
any manner directly or indirectly caused, occasioned, or contributed to, in
whole or in part, by reason of Carrier's breach of this Agreement or the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or the negligence, whether
active or passive, of Carrier or an employee or anyone acting under Carrier's
direction or control or on its behalf in connection with, or incident to, the
performance of Carrier's obligations under this Agreement. Carrier's obligations
under this Section shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by law but shall
not apply to liabilities caused by the sole or gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the party indemnified or held harmless.

     7.   INSURANCE.  Carrier shall procure and maintain throughout the term of
this Agreement, the following policies of insurance:

          a.  A policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance,
     including blanket contractual liability, insuring Carrier against any
     liability for injury or death to a person or persons, and for damage to or
     destruction of property occasioned by or arising out of or in connection
     with the Delivery Services.  Such policy or policies shall be in an amount
     not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) single limit, combined
     bodily injury and property damage each occurrence, Five Million Dollars
     ($5,000,000) in the aggregate, with a damage legal limit in an amount of at
     least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).  Such policies shall specifically
     insure against pollution and environmental hazard liability in at least the
     aforementioned amounts.

          b.  A policy or policies of workers' compensation insurance to cover
     every contractor or employee to be employed or retained by Carrier in
     connection with the Delivery Services.  Coverage limits shall be
     satisfactory to Petro, and in no event shall coverage be less than any
     applicable statutory limits.  Further, Carrier shall carry employer
     liability insurance in the minimum amount required by law.

          c.  Each policy required hereunder shall be carried with a reputable
     insurance carrier licensed to do business in the State in which the
     Stopping Center is located and approved by Petro. Self-insured retentions
     shall not exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) unless a larger amount is
     approved by Petro.  In all instances of self-insured retention of more than
     Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), Petro shall be furnished with a certificate
     of excess liability coverage or a financial statement acceptable to Petro.
     Carrier shall furnish Petro with a certificate of insurance not less than
     ten (10) days before Carrier's commencement of the Delivery Services and
     providing for notice to Petro not less than thirty (30) days before each
     current policy expires.  Each policy required hereunder shall provide that
     there will be no cancellations, nonrenewal or material change in the
     coverage without at least thirty days prior written notice to Petro.  The
     commercial general liability and automobile policies shall name Petro as
     additional insured and provide that Petro is entitled to recover for the
     negligence of Carrier and shall also contain a waiver of subrogation in
     favor of Petro.  The workers' compensation policy shall contain an
     insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of Petro, to the extent available
     on a commercially reasonable basis.

     8.   STANDARD OF CARE.  Carrier shall use and shall cause its employees and
agents  to use the proper level of care and caution in transporting, delivering
and handling fuel to and at the designated fuel tank or tanks at the Stopping
Center.  Carrier shall not permit the release of any fuel or other hazardous
substances on or about any property owned or operated by Petro or any of its
affiliates.  Carrier shall be responsible for all fuel and any damages arising
as a result of its transportation, delivery, storage, or handling and charges
therefor, up to and including the time at which such fuel is safely transported
into the designated fuel tank or tanks at the Stopping Center.

                                       3

     9.   OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF CARRIER.

          a.  Carrier shall leave the area of the Stopping Center at which it
     performed the Delivery Services in substantially the same condition that it
     was prior to Carrier performing the Delivery Services.

          b.  Carrier shall obtain and maintain in effect all permits or
     licenses required by any government authority or agency which are necessary
     for the performance of the Delivery Services at the Stopping Center, and
     shall furnish Petro with copies of such permits or licenses upon request.
     In addition, Carrier shall comply with any and all ordinances or laws
     governing the operation of its business, specifically including, but not
     limited to, environmental rules, regulations, laws or ordinances.

          c.  Carrier, at its sole cost and expense, repair and maintain all
     equipment used in connection with the Delivery Services contemplated
     herein.  To the extent practical, Carrier will use its best efforts to
     obtain all normal, preventative maintenance service and repair work through
     Petro:Lube facilities.  In exchange for such agreement, Petro agrees to
     provide all parts, tires, additives and oils purchased at the Petro:Lube
     facilities to Carrier at Petro's cost therefore; provided that all labor
     rates for work performed will be at the full retail rates of the Petro:Lube
     facility where such services are performed.

     10.  OTHER ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND AGREEMENTS.  Carrier hereby acknowledges and
agrees:

          a.  While this Agreement is intended to be exclusive between Carrier
     and Petro with respect to the Stopping Centers as defined on  Schedule A as
     may be amended from time to time, Carrier acknowledges that Petro may enter
     into agreements and grant similar rights with respect to other Petro travel
     plaza stopping center facilities from time to time.

          b.  That Carrier shall not purport or claim to anyone at any time that
     Carrier is an employee or agent of Petro or that Carrier and Petro have any
     agreement or understanding whatsoever aside from this Agreement.

          c.  In the event that the expenses incurred by Carrier in connection
     with the Delivery Services herein contemplated include the cost of delivery
     to other third parties, Carrier shall, at the time of each semi-annual
     review and reconciliation as described in Paragraph 4 above, provide to
     Petro an accounting of the gross revenue derived therefrom and the related
     expenses.  In such event, the semi-annual review and reconciliation shall
     include a calculation of the net proceeds from such third party deliveries
     (gross proceeds, less actual related expenses) and Petro shall be entitled
     to fifty percent (50%) of such net proceeds.  Any net proceeds payable by
     Carrier to Petro shall be paid in cash within fifteen (15) days after
     completion of such review and reconciliation.

     11.  DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

          a.   Default by Petro.  In the event Petro shall fail to pay any
     amount within fifteen (15) days of the date due hereunder, Carrier shall
     provide written notice thereof to Petro.  If Petro fails to cure such
     default within fifteen (15) days of such notice, Carrier may terminate this
     Agreement and proceed with all legal remedies to collect the amounts then
     due and owing to Carrier.

          b  Default by Carrier.  In the event of any breach or default
     hereunder by Carrier, Petro shall provide written notice specifying such
     breach or default and provide Carrier 30 days from receipt of said notice
     to cure the same.  In the event Carrier fails to cure any breach or default
     hereunder within 30 days, Petro may terminate this Agreement and pursue any
     and all remedies available at law or in equity for damages as a result
     thereof.

     12.  MISCELLANEOUS.

          a.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
     the laws of the State of Texas.  Any controversy or claim between the
     parties hereto including but not limited to those arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement or any related agreements or instruments,
     including any claim based on or arising from an alleged tort, shall be
     determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
     American Arbitration Association.  The parties hereto consent to the

     connection with arbitration including the entry of judgment on any award.

          b.  No waiver by either Petro or Carrier of any breach or default of
     any term, condition or covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as a
     waiver of any subsequent default or breach of the same or any other term,
     condition or covenant contained herein, nor shall any such waiver act as an
     amendment to this Agreement.

          c.  This Agreement is between Carrier and Petro.  It is nonassignable
     by Carrier and any attempt by Carrier to assign this Agreement will
     terminate the rights and privileges granted to Carrier hereunder.  Further,

     appropriate.  Headings herein are used for convenience only and in no wise
     constitute any part of the Agreement.

          e.  The fact that this Agreement was prepared by counsel for Petro
     shall not warrant construction thereof for or against either party for that
     reason.

          f.  It is hereby understood and agreed that this Agreement constitutes
     the entire contract and agreement between the parties relating to the
     herein contained subject matter.  Specifically, the terms of this Agreement
     shall in all cases take precedence over any term or condition of any
     purchase order, delivery sheet or other document used by Carrier,
     regardless of whether or not such document is signed by an employee of
     Petro.  No alteration or amendment to this Agreement shall be valid unless
     reduced to writing specifically referencing this Agreement, dated
     subsequent to this Agreement, and executed by both parties.

          g.  Any notice to be provided under this Agreement shall be in
     writing, to the addresses set forth herein.  Notice shall be deemed
     received (i) immediately if given via facsimile; (ii) next day if sent via
     overnight courier; or (iii) 2 days after deposit in the United States Mail,
     if sent certified mail, return receipt requested.

          h.  Nothing contained herein is intended to create a joint venture,
     partnership or other business venture between Carrier and Petro.  The terms
     and provisions herein reflect solely the intention of the parties to agree
     upon pricing terms which both Petro and Carrier have determined to be in
     their respective best interests.

                       PETRO PARTS AND SERVICE AGREEMENT

      This Agreement is made this 3rd day of May, 2000 by Volvo Trucks North
America, Inc. (hereinafter called "Volvo"), a Delaware corporation with its
principal place of business in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Petro Stopping
Centers, L.P. (hereinafter called "Petro") a Delaware Limited Partnership with
its principal place of business in El Paso, Texas.

      WHEREAS Volvo desires to establish Petro as a parts and service center in
the dealer's Area of Responsibility; and

      WHEREAS Petro desires to act as such parts and service center,

  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein,
Volvo and Petro (sometimes hereinafter jointly the "Parties") do agree as
follows:

  1. Appointment. Petro owns and operates truckstop facilities ("Truckstops")
     -----------
located in the same geographic area as one or more of Volvo's franchised dealers
("Dealer").  Each Petro location will work in conjunction with the appropriate
Dealer, designated by Volvo in accordance with the provisions of this agreement.
Volvo hereby grants to Petro, with the concurrence and agreement of the Dealer,
and Petro hereby accepts from Volvo, the non-exclusive right to act as an
authorized parts and service center of Volvo, providing parts for and service to
trucks under the VOLVO nameplate and such other nameplates as Volvo shall
designate (hereinafter the "Trucks"). Petro shall not be, and nothing contained
in this Agreement shall be deemed to authorize Petro to act as, a dealer for the
sale of any new trucks or other vehicles manufactured or distributed by Volvo.

  2. Area of Responsibility. Based upon this Agreement, Petro shall act as a
     ----------------------
parts and service center for Volvo in the locations set forth on Schedule A
attached hereto and made a part hereof (the "Area of Responsibility"). Petro
shall operate its parts and service center at the Truckstops located at such
other locations within the Area of Responsibility as the Parties may from time
to time agree upon (the "Premises").  Schedule A shall be amended from time to
time, upon agreement of the parties, as Petro opens new Truckstop locations.

  3. Evaluation of Sales Performance. Petro agrees  to purchase/sell parts
     -------------------------------
consistent with objectives agreed to by the parties.

  4. Service - General. Petro will provide a limited range of repair services
     -----------------
for Trucks at Petro's Truckstops in the Area of Responsibility, regardless of
where the Trucks were purchased. This will include service paid for by
customers, as well as light  warranty service.   Petro also agrees to provide
Contract Maintenance and MVP Care services to vehicles as requested by Volvo.
Petro agrees to refer all other service work outside of Petro's capabilities, to
Dealer.  All service work performed by Petro will be performed and administered
in a professional manner.

  In servicing Trucks, Petro will follow instructions contained in service
manuals and bulletins issued by Volvo. Petro will maintain on its Premises all
service equipment, and any special tools, which are required or desirable to
provide economical and efficient service to users of Trucks. If and when Volvo
makes available new models or types of Trucks, Volvo will provide, at its
expense, any additional equipment or special Volvo tools required to service the
new models or types of Trucks.

  Petro understands that customers have the right to expect that any part which
Petro sells, installs, or uses in the repair or servicing of Trucks meets the
high quality standards of Volvo. Petro agrees that it will not knowingly sell,
use, or install non-genuine VOLVO parts or parts not meeting Volvo's
specifications, or which are not equal in quality and design to genuine VOLVO
parts. Petro further agrees that it will not knowingly sell or offer for sale as
genuine VOLVO parts any parts which are not in fact new genuine VOLVO parts, and
in any case where Petro sells a non-genuine VOLVO part, it shall disclose such
fact to the customer and advise the customer that the item is not included in
warranties furnished by Volvo.

  5. Warranty and Special Policy Service. Petro will perform light warranty
     -----------------------------------
services on all Trucks, regardless of where they were purchased, in accordance
with warranty policies established by Volvo, and will perform any other service
to Trucks specially requested by Volvo which are within the scope of this

     -------------------
laws, and maintain in effect all required licenses and permits, applicable to
the activities conducted by them or the locations at which they are conducted.

  11. Training. Petro shall maintain a sufficiently trained staff to complete
      --------
the warranty repair and other repair obligations of this Agreement. Volvo will
make available to Petro training programs that Volvo deems appropriate in
assisting Petro to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.  Volvo will
provide, at its expense for a period of one year from the date of this

borne as mutually agreed to by Volvo and Petro.  The cost of all other training
shall be borne by Petro.  Only qualified mechanics or technicians shall perform
Volvo warranty repairs.

  12. Special Tools. Volvo shall provide, at Volvo's expense, those special
      -------------
tools prescribed by Volvo for servicing trucks pursuant to this Agreement.
Petro agrees to maintain all such tools and equipment in good condition,

      ---------------------
promotion and marketing materials relating to parts.

  16. [Deleted].

  17. Parts Return.  Volvo will process requests for parts returns and
      ------------
adjustments in accordance with Volvo's policies in effect from time to time.
This includes discontinued dealer salable parts returns. The parts return
privileges detailed in this agreement, shall be applicable to Petro only.

  18. Petro Orders. Petro will order parts from Dealer or Volvo directly,
      ------------
subject to parts availability and/or as instructed by Volvo.  Billing for such
parts will be handled by a third-party billing company.  Petro may cancel orders
once they are accepted by Volvo, except as specifically otherwise permitted
hereunder or pursuant to Company policies as in effect from time to time.  If
Volvo is notified in writing by Petro of repeated Dealer nonperformance, Volvo
will make every reasonable attempt to intervene and have such Dealer performance
deficiencies corrected.  If problems continue, Volvo will change the Dealer
assigned to Petro, or sell parts directly to Petro.

  19.  Prices. The prices Petro will pay the Dealer for parts sold to it by
       ------
Dealer,  and ordered from Volvo, or parts purchased directly from Volvo, shall
not exceed those shown on Volvo's National Fleet price lists in effect from time
to time, or in other publications issued by Volvo. Subject to Volvo's policy
from time to time regarding prior commitments by Dealers, unless otherwise
specified, each change in price or other terms will apply to all parts delivered
after the date it becomes effective, even if they were ordered before that date.
However, after Petro is informed of a price increase, Petro may cancel or modify
orders for parts which are the subject of that price increase in accordance with
Volvo policies in effect from time to time.

  20. Terms of Sale Grant of Purchase Money Security Interest. If at any time,
      -------------------------------------------------------
Volvo sells parts or other materials directly to Petro, terms of payment and
other terms of sale of parts will be in accordance with Company policies as in
effect from time to time. To secure its indebtedness to Volvo for parts
purchased directly from Volvo (the "Secured Indebtedness"), Petro grants to
Volvo a purchase money security interest in that portion of Petro's parts
inventory purchased directly from Volvo (the "Collateral"). The grant of such
purchase money security interest shall not affect Petro's right to sell its
parts inventory in the ordinary course of its business. Petro shall, at Volvo's
request, execute such documents for public filing as are necessary, in Volvo's
judgment, to perfect the purchase money security interest hereby granted. Upon a
default by Petro in the payment of any Secured Indebtedness, Volvo shall have
all the rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Petro
warrants and covenants that, so long as it has any outstanding Secured
Indebtedness: (i) the Collateral will be retained in Petro's possession at
Petro's sole risk and responsibility at all times prior to final retail use or
sale; and (ii) Petro's ownership of its parts inventory is solely for sale in
the ordinary course of its business. The purchase money security interest hereby
granted shall survive a termination of this Agreement for any reason if, at the
time of such termination, any Secured Indebtedness remains unpaid.

  21. Delivery. Delivery of the parts will be as stated by Volvo policies per
      --------
the type of order for parts ordered directly from Volvo. Volvo will not be
responsible for a failure or delay in accepting orders or delivering parts if
the failure or delay is due in whole or in part to an excess of orders, changes
in production schedules, discontinuance of the manufacture or sale of specific
parts, labor difficulties, labor, material, transportation or utilities
shortages, government regulations, or other causes beyond Volvo's control.  For
parts ordered through Dealer, delivery terms will be as agreed to between Petro
and Dealer.

  22. Shipping Point and Mode of Delivery. For parts purchased directly from
      -----------------------------------
Volvo, shipping charges are determined by type of order in accordance with
company policy. Petro will pay all demurrage, storage, and other charges
accruing after arrival of any shipment of parts at their destination. Volvo will
attempt to comply

                                       3
<PAGE>

with Petro's instructions as to routing and mode of transportation, but Volvo
will make the final decision as to routing and mode of transportation of all
parts. Risk of loss or damage will be transferred to Petro when parts are
delivered to and received by Petro. Volvo will cooperate fully with Petro in
attempting to recover compensation from carriers for loss or damage in shipment.

  23. Failure of Petro to Accept Delivery. If Petro fails or refuses to take
      -----------------------------------
delivery of any parts which Petro has ordered from Volvo or Dealer, Volvo may,
without prejudice to its right to other remedies, charge Petro a cancellation
charge.

  24. Warranty. Volvo will provide each customer of Petro a limited parts
      --------
warranty relating to Volvo parts sold to the customer by Petro in accordance
with Volvo's customer warranty policies in effect from time to time. VOLVO MAKES
NO OTHER WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, TO
DEALER, PETRO OR THEIR RESPECTIVE CUSTOMERS, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSES.

  25. Use of Trademarks and Trade Names.  Petro will not use any of Volvo's
      ---------------------------------
trademarks, service marks or trade names for any purpose or in any context which
in Volvo's opinion is likely to injure the reputation of Volvo or its products
or to impair the enforceability of any of Volvo's trademarks, service marks or
trade names.  Likewise, Volvo will not use any of Petro's trademarks, service
marks or trade names for any purpose or in any context which in Petro's opinion
is likely to injure the reputation of Petro or its products or to impair the
enforceability of any of Petro's trademarks, service marks or trade names.

  26.  Audit Rights.  Volvo shall have the right, upon reasonable advance
       ------------
written notice, to audit the accounting or other records of Petro.  This
examination may include, among other things, an audit of Petro's records
supporting warranty or other claims made against Volvo, and the records relating
to the purchase and sale of parts and other materials pursuant to this
agreement.  Petro shall provide all reports at such times and on such forms as
may be reasonably requested by Volvo.

  27. Termination by Advance Notice.   This Agreement shall remain in effect
      -----------------------------
until it is terminated by either party as provided in this section.

  a. The parties may at any time terminate this Agreement by mutual consent.

  b. Petro may at any time terminate the Agreement by giving written notice of

the date upon which the termination is to become effective and not less than one
(1) year shall intervene between the giving of such notice and the effective
date.

  c. Volvo may terminate the Agreement at any time by giving the Dealer and
Petro written notice of termination. Such notice of termination shall specify

Truckstops and amend Schedule A, at any time by giving Volvo and Dealer written
notice of termination.  Such termination shall specify the date upon which the
termination is to become effective and not less one (1) year shall intervene
between the giving of such notice and such effective date.  If, in Volvo's sole
discretion, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, such
terminations by Petro reach an unreasonable number, Volvo may terminate this
Agreement in its entirety upon 90 days prior written notice to Petro.

  e. Upon the effective date of termination, all indebtedness of Petro to Volvo
or to any subsidiary or affiliate of Volvo, incurred as a result of this
Agreement, shall become immediately due and payable and, unless otherwise agreed
between the parties, all unfilled orders accepted from Petro shall be deemed
canceled, without liability on the part of either party, or upon mutual
termination, Volvo at its option may establish terms of cash with order or
C.O.D. on any or all parts thereafter delivered to Petro.

  28.  Termination by Immediate Notice. It is the hope and expectation of the
       -------------------------------
parties that this Agreement will create an enduring and mutually profitable
relationship. However, it is recognized that circumstances may arise

                                       4
<PAGE>

requiring Volvo to take steps to protect its interest and making it
impracticable for the relationship to continue, and under which this Agreement
should be immediately terminated. In order that those circumstances may be
clearly understood, it is agreed that:

  a. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Volvo may, at its
option, by written notice, terminate the Agreement effective at once, or Volvo
or any subsidiary of Volvo may without notice declare immediately due and
payable any indebtedness of Petro to Volvo, or any such subsidiary, for parts
sold directly to Petro, and may immediately and without notice repossess such
parts as well as any other parts or assets in Petro's possession with respect to
which Volvo or any subsidiary or affiliate of Volvo has a lien, encumbrance or
security interest, or may without notice establish terms of cash with order or
C.O.D. on parts thereafter delivered to Petro, or may exercise any other legal
remedies that are available to it, upon the happening of any of the following:

    1. Petro defaults in the payment of any obligations owing to Volvo or to any
       subsidiary of Volvo, or upon demand fails to account for the proceeds of
       the sale of parts for which it is indebted to Volvo or any subsidiary of
       Volvo;

    2. Petro sells or makes an attempted sale or other distribution of any parts
       purchased under this Agreement, upon which any part of the purchase price
       is unpaid, other than in the ordinary course of trade;

    3. Without prior approval of Volvo, Petro sells or attempts to sell in bulk
       all or a major portion of his inventory purchased from Volvo, whether or
       not any part of the purchase price therefor remains unpaid;

    4. An assignment by Petro for the benefit of creditors;

    5. The admitted insolvency of Petro or the institution of voluntary or
       involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy or under other insolvency law, or
       for an arrangement with creditors or for corporate reorganization or for
       receivership or dissolution of the Dealer or Petro;

    6. The assignment or attempted assignment of this Agreement, or of any
       interest therein or any right thereunder, by Petro without Volvo's
       written consent;

    7. The falsification of records or reports by Petro in a material respect.

In all such cases, with the exception of subsections (5) through (7), Petro
shall be given thirty (30) days to cure such deficiency after receiving written
notice of such from Volvo.

   b. The exercise of one right or remedy shall not constitute an election of
remedies or preclude Volvo from exercising all other rights or remedies
available to it under the law or as provided herein, and the acceptance by Volvo
or any subsidiary or affiliate of Volvo of the payment of any past due
indebtedness owing to either of them shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
rights of Volvo under this section arising out of the existence of such past due
indebtedness.

   c. Volvo may by written notice terminate any Petro Truckstop location and
amend Schedule A, effective at once, if any state or jurisdiction where this
Agreement is to be performed requires a license of Petro and Petro fails to
secure or maintain or renew such license for the Petro Truckstop location, or
such license is suspended or revoked for any reason.

   d. The termination of this Agreement under this section shall, unless
otherwise agreed between the parties, cancel all unfilled orders accepted from
Petro, without liability on the part of either party. Alternatively, Volvo will
have the option to cancel or fill any unfilled orders placed by Petro for parts.

   e.  Any sum owed by Petro to Volvo, as a result of this Agreement, will be
due immediately upon termination.

thereby, normal wear and tear excepted.  For any signs or sub-branded trade or
service marks not covered or addressed by the operation agreement between Volvo
and Petro, Volvo may remove such signs at its sole cost and expense and restore
all affected premises or fixtures to their original condition, normal wear and
tear excepted.  Volvo will retain all ownership rights in any sub-branded trade
or service marks.

way any of Petro's trademarks, service marks or trade names or other marks or
names so nearly resembling those of Petro as to be likely to cause confusion or
mistake.

indemnify each other against any breach of this Agreement or the breach of any
representations or warranties made herein.

   d.  Within 30 days of the effective date of termination of this Agreement,

been furnished to Petro by Volvo. Any charges (except for transportation,
subscription service and binders) paid by Petro to Volvo for such material will
be credited to Petro when such material is returned to Volvo. Amounts credited

all applicable provisions of law relating to bulk transfers and has complied
