referred to as "Agreement") set forth in the following numbered paragraphs:

          1.  CONTRACTOR,   McCLENDON   RELA~TIONSHIP   DEFINED  -  CONTRACTOR's
relationship to McCLENDON shall be that of an independent contractor. CONTRACTOR
means any person defined as "CONTRACTOR" in 49 C.F.R.  1057, and any contractor,
agent, employee or driver of CONTRACTOR. McCLENDON is an "authorized carrier" as
defined in 49 C.F.R.  1057.  The  provisions of this  Agreement are separable so
that the invalidity or  unenforceability  of one provision  shall not affect the
others.   McCLENDON's   "exclusive   possession,   control,   use  and  complete
responsibility  for  operation" of  EQUIPMENT,  shall be confined to the minimum
extent necessary to meet the requirements of applicable  Federal and State laws,
and for no other purpose  whatsoever.  McCLENDON  shall have no right to control
the manner,  means or methods utilized by CONTRACTOR for the  accomplishment  of
the  services  to be  rendered  under  this  Agreement.  It is  understood  that
CONTRACTOR  shall direct the control of  CONTRACTOR's  operation in all respects
including,  but not limited to, such matters as rejection or selection of loads,
days and time of the  operation,  routes  of  travel,  empty  miles,  repair  of
equipment,  purchases of fuel and other supplies, and selection,  discipline and
discharge of CONTRACTOR's  drivers and other employees.  This Agreement shall be

          B.       Provide  that  each  driver   furnished  by  CONTRACTOR  will
                   initially  meet and will  thereafter  continue to satisfy the
                   minimum  driver   qualification   and  compliance   standards
                   established  from time to time by (I) the U.S.  Department of
                   Transportation  or any successor agency (the "D.O.T.");  (ii)
                   other regulatory  bodies having  jurisdiction  over McCLENDON
                   operations;  and (iii) by McCLENDON  itself.  Upon  McCLENDON
                   request,  CONTRACTOR will immediately  substitute a qualified
                   driver for any person who fails to meet or maintain  any such
                   minimum  qualification  and/or  compliance  standards  or who
                   fails to  comply  with  McCLENDON's  operating  policies  and
                   procedures.  Failure  to do so  will  constitute  a  material
                   breach of CONTRACTOR's obligations under this Agreement.

          C.       Provide  proof  that  CONTRACTOR  holds  title  to and/or has

         J.       Receive and retain a receipt from  McCLENDON  stating the date
                  and time when McCLENDON takes possession of the equipment.

specified  and  continue  in effect  until  breached by either  party,  or until
terminated.  This  Agreement  shall be  terminated by mailing or delivery to the
other  party at the  address  listed  below,  two copies of a written  Notice of
Termination,  which  shall be  effective  either  upon  receipt of the Notice of
Termination  from the other party,  or at such later date as may be specified in

such Notice and return such receipted copy to the other party. Without excluding
other  breaches,  any failure to furnish  EQUIPMENT,  or any use of EQUIPMENT by
CONTRACTOR,  or by any  person  other than  McCLENDON  prior to  termination  is
specifically  designated breach of this Agreement,  which prevents and therefore
terminates   McCLENDON's  exclusive   possession,   control,  use  and  complete
responsibility   for  said   EQUIPMENT;   in  such  event,   this  Agreement  is
automatically  terminated.  Termination  automatically  constitutes  a return of
EQUIPMENT by McCLENDON to CONTRACTOR.

         4.  RESPONSIBILITY  OF  CONTRACTOR  UPON  TERMINATION  OF  AGREEMENT  -
CONTRACTOR  agrees  upon  termination  of  Agreement,   to  immediately   return
McCLENDON's trailers, and other property to McCLENDON, and remove from EQUIPMENT
any decals,  insignia,  emblems or markings that would  indicate a  relationship
with McCLENDON.  CONTRACTOR  agrees to deliver to McCLENDON  within  forty-eight
(48) hours after termination of the Agreement,  all property owned by McCLENDON,
including keys, key cards, fuel cards, cab cards, permits, and plates. McCLENDON
shall be entitled to assess  Twenty-Five  Dollars  ($25.00) per day for each day
after the forty-eight  hour period that CONTRACTOR  retains the foregoing items.
Should CONTRACTOR fail to return McCLENDON's property,  McCLENDON shall have the
right to repossess  all such property  without  legal  action,  and to enter the
private  property  of  CONTRACTOR  for the purpose of  repossession.  CONTRACTOR
hereby consents to such entry and repossession by McCLENDON and waives any right
to have such matter  heard by a judicial  body.  CONTRACTOR  agrees to indemnify
McCLENDON  for all costs  incurred  as the  result of  CONTRACTOR's  failure  to
relinquish  McCLENDON's  trailers  or  other  property  to  McCLENDON,  and  for
McCLENDON's cost in repossessing such property.  All carrier identification must
be  removed  or  concealed  when   McCLENDON's   possession  is  interrupted  by
CONTRACTOR's trip lease.

         5.  COMPENSATION  - McCLENDON  agrees to pay  CONTRACTOR for the use of
CONTRACTOR's EQUIPMENT according to the following provisions:

         A.       COMPENSATION   MILEAGE:   $.82  per   loaded  and  empty  mile
                  authorized by McCLENDON  Operations  Department and determined

                  Payments will be made on the basis of the distances determined
                  by the current Edition of the Randy McNally  MileMaker program
                  ("MileMaker  Miles")  from the  point at  which  the  shipment

                  pick-ups  or  deliveries  are made,  to the point at which the
                  shipment  is  delivered  even if the miles  traveled  over the
                  route  actually  selected by the  CONTRACTOR  are less or more
                  than the  MileMaker  Miles.  McCLENDON  may deduct miles to be
                  paid or charge  for  expenses  as a result  of:  (1) any empty
                  miles  which  were  unauthorized  or not at the  direction  of
                  McCLENDON, and (2) any extra expenses or excess and circuitous
                  miles  created  as a  result  of  CONTRACTOR  dropping  a load
                  without  authorization.  The  miles or  amounts  deducted  may
                  include the total non-direct, or circuitous,  miles created as
                  result  of the drop  plus  any  miles  or  extra  expenses  --

                           Trailers  and to use  them  ~nj~ for the  purpose  of
                           transporting  freight  hereunder or while deadheading

                           the Trailers for any other purpose,  McCLENDON shall,
                           in  addition  to any other  remedies,  be entitled to
                           liquidated  damages  for  loss  of use of  each  such
                           Trailer in the amount of twenty cents ($.20) per mile
                           of unauthorized  use plus Fifty Dollars  ($50.00) for

                           constitute  a  material  breach  of  this  Agreement.
                           McCLENDON  shall  have the right to deduct the amount
                           of such  liquidated  damages  from the  CONTRACTORS's

                           relinquish  possession  of each Trailer in accordance
                           with McCLENDON's  instructions  following delivery of
                           the shipment  transported  in such  Trailer,  or upon
                           demand  by  McCLENDON.   Upon   termination  of  this
                           Agreement  CONTRACTOR  agrees to return possession of

                           such  other  location  as  McCLENDON  may  reasonably
                           designate.  In the  event of  breach  or  default  by
                           CONTRACTOR of its obligation to surrender  possession
                           of  any  Trailer,   CONTRACTOR  shall  be  liable  to

                           retains  custody of a Trailer or  otherwise  fails or
                           refuses to deliver  possession  thereof to  McCLENDON
                           following  delivery of a shipment upon demand or upon
                           termination  of this  Agreement,  in  addition to any
                           other  remedies  available to  McCLENDON,  CONTRACTOR
                           shall be  liable  to  Carrier  in the  amount  of One

                           the Trailer. McCLENDON shall have the right to deduct
                           any  amounts  to  which  it is  entitled  under  this
                           section from the  CONTRACTOR's  Settlements or escrow

                            immediately  return the Qualcomm  unit to McCLENDON.
                            Failure to return  this  equipment  will  render the
                            CONTRACTOR  liable for the value of it. In addition,
                            the  CONTRACTOR  will be charged for the cost of any

                            original date,  the CONTRACTOR  will be charged $300
                            to  cover  the   installation  and  removal  of  the
                            equipment.

    $480,000.00                                               Columbus, Georgia
                                                              September 30, 1999

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  the undersigned GLENN MCCLENDON TRUCKING COMPANY,
INC.,  an  Alabama  corporation,  successor  by  merger  to  MCCLENDON  SERVICES
CORPORATION  (hereinafter  called  "Borrower"),  promises to pay to the order of
COLUMBUS BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, a Georgia banking Corporation (herein, together
with any assignee or holder hereof, called "Bank"), at Bank's principal place of
business in Columbus,  Georgia, or at such other place as Bank may designate and
notify the  undersigned,  the principal sum of FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY  THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($480,000.00), together with interest from date on the unpaid balance of
said principal sum at the rate specified hereinbelow, together with all costs of
collection,  including  reasonable attorneys fees if collected by law or through
an attorney at law.

          The unpaid balance of said principal sum from time to time outstanding
shall bear interest at the "Floating  Rate,"  meaning a per annum rate of simple
interest which at all times shall be two percent (2%) more than, and fluctuating
automatically  at that level  with,  the Prime Rate of  Columbus  Bank and Trust
Company  (said Prime Rate being the index,  base or reference  rate from time to
time  established and used by said bank to fix interest rates at which loans are
made to its various customers, which loans may be made by said bank at, above or
below  said Prime  Rate).  As of the date  hereof,  said Prime Rate is 8.25% per

improved real property located in Chambers County, Alabama, as described in said
Mortgage, and is further secured by a Guaranty Agreement dated December 1, 1998,

pertaining to the real property described in the aforesaid  Mortgage.  Both said
Mortgage and said  Assignment  of Rents and Leases are recorded in the office of
the Judge of Probate of Chambers County, Alabama.

          Borrower shall have the right,  at any time, to pay any part or all of
the unpaid  principal  balance  of this Note in advance of its due date  without
premium  or  penalty.  Each  prepayment,  when paid,  shall be applied  first to
accrued interest and then to the unpaid principal balance hereof.

          A late charge  amounting to 5% of any required payment of principal or
interest due  hereunder  not made within ten (10) days after its due date may be
assessed at Bank's option, but not more thai~i once for the same delinquency.

Hundred  Fifty Dollars  ($250) as a loan renewal fee, and Borrower  acknowledges
that said loan renewal fee has been fully earned and is non-refundable.

          Time is of the essence hereof.  In the event any sum payable hereon is
not paid when  due,  or in the event of any  breach  or  default  on the part of
Borrower  under any  agreement of the Borrower set forth in the  Agreement or in
any of the Loan  Documents  therein  described,  which shall not have been cured
within such if any applicable cure period as may be specified therein, then, and
in any such event and at any time  thereafter,  at Bank's  option,  and  without
further demand or notice of any kind, the entire principal balance hereof at the
time  remaining  unpaid,  together  with all interest  then  accrued  hereon and
unpaid,  may be declared and thereupon  shall be and become  immediately due and
payable,  and shall bear  interest  thenceforth  at the  Default  Rate.  For the
purposes of this Note,  the Default Rate shall mean the Floating Rate plus three
percent (3%).

          This Note  represents a loan and  extension of credit to Borrower made
by Bank at and from its principal  place of business in Columbus,  Georgia,  and
shall be governed by and construed in  accordance  with the laws of the State of
Georgia.

          Borrower  hereby  expressly  waives demand,  presentment  for payment,
protest, notice of protest, and notice of nonpayment or dishonor.
