Hoedl and Wutke have agreed to serve as directors of the Subject Company in connection with Mr. Low's Consent Solicitation which, if successful, would, among other things, remove the entire current Board of Directors of the Subject Company and replace these directors with Mr. Low's nominees. Although no formal agreements among the Reporting Persons exist, there is an understanding that the Reporting Persons would act in concert in voting their shares of the common stock of the Subject Company in favor of those actions proposed by Mr. Low as set forth in the Consent Solicitation previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There currently exist no agreements, arrangements or understandings among the Reporting Persons, other than as above-mentioned, and all actions taken or decisions made by the Reporting Persons as directors of the Subject Company would be subject to, among other things, their fiduciary duties and obligations under Delaware law. SCHEDULE TO On April 12, 2000, Low Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Purchaser") wholly-owned by Robert E. Low, an individual currently residing in Springfield, Missouri ("Parent"), filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO in which the Purchaser commenced an offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), of KLLM Transport Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the associated preferred stock purchase rights of the Company (the "Rights" and, together with the Common Stock, the "Shares"), which are not owned by Parent or his affiliates at a price per share of $7.75 per Share, net to the seller in cash. The Offer to Purchase, dated April 12, 2000 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal together, as previously, hereby or hereafter amended or supplemented, constitute the Offer. Copies of the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B). This Amendment constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule TO to supplement and amend the previously filed Schedule TO, as heretofore amended, filed by Purchaser and Parent, and Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D of Parent, Richard D. Hoedl and C. Stephan Wutke to supplement and amend the previously filed Schedule 13D, as heretofore amended. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned such terms in the Offer to Purchase and the Schedule TO. ITEM 1. SUMMARY TERM SHEET. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in the Summary Term Sheet is hereby amended by deleting the answer corresponding to the question, "If Our Board Does Not Approve Your Offer, Will That Have Any Effect on Your Ability to Complete Your Offer?" and replacing it with the following: "A. We would be unable to complete our offer if it is not ultimately approved by the KLLM Board even if holders of a large majority of the outstanding KLLM stock tendered their shares. The reason for this is the effect such lack of approval would have on the associated stock purchase rights and, unless at least 85% of the outstanding shares were tendered, on our ability to effect the contemplated merger of Low Acquisition into KLLM. See Section 11. On April 28, 2000, we agreed to participate in a bidding process established by the Special Committee of the KLLM Board, which, we expect, will result in the sale of KLLM to the highest bidder. If our bid is accepted by the Special Committee, we expect that the KLLM Board will approve our offer and will take all other steps necessary to allow us to complete our offer to you and to effect the proposed merger." The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in the Summary Term Sheet is hereby amended by adding the following question and answer after the answer described above: "Q. WHAT IS THE BIDDING PROCESS AND WHO IS EXPECTED TO SUBMIT A BID? A. On April 25, 2000, we received a letter from counsel to the Special Committee of the KLLM Board in which we were informed that the Special Committee is of the belief that the sale of KLLM is inevitable. In the letter, the Special Committee indicated that it had established certain guidelines with respect to the bidding process and asked that other bidders and we follow with the bidding process involving the potential sale of KLLM. Key aspects of the process include: o furnishing to the Committee a form of written agreement that we would be willing to sign providing for the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of KLLM no later than the close of business on May 5, 2000; o including in the agreement our highest and best financial offer, expressed on a per-share basis, that we are willing to pay for all the outstanding capital stock of KLLM; and o providing in the agreement our express understanding that KLLM shall have the continued right, even after the agreement is accepted by the Special Committee, to continue discussions with other persons who have made or expressed an interest in making an offer that the Special Committee believe is likely to result in a superior proposal. We believe that the only other potential bidder at this time is a group headed by Jack Liles, the President and Chief Executive Officer of KLLM. A copy of the April 25, 2000 letter can be found in Section 10." ITEM 3. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND OF FILING PERSON. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in Section 9 ("Certain Information Concerning Purchaser and Parent ") is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the phrase "which is wholly owned by" in the second sentence of the first paragraph and replacing it with the phrase "of which all the outstanding capital stock is beneficially owned by". ITEM 4. TERMS OF TRANSACTION. On May 1, 2000, the Offer was extended through 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on May 30, 2000. Accordingly, the term "Expiration Date" means 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Tuesday, May 30, 2000, unless and until Purchaser shall, in its sole discretion, have extended the period for which the Offer is open, in which event the term "Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as so extended by Purchaser shall expire. On May 1, 2000, Purchaser issued a press release announcing the extension of the Offer as described above, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(K) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in the section entitled "Introduction" is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the fourth paragraph and replacing it with the following: "Consent Solicitation. On April 12, 2000, Parent filed preliminary consent statement and related solicitation materials (the "Consent Solicitation") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). On April 28, 2000, Parent decided not to pursue his Consent Solicitation in order to accommodate the Bidding Process (as defined below) in which he and Purchaser had agreed to participate. Accordingly, Parent withdrew his filing of the preliminary Consent Solicitation materials. If Parent had not decided to participate in the Bidding Process, a definitive form of the Consent Solicitation materials would have been mailed to stockholders of the Company after completion of review by the staff of the SEC. The Consent Solicitation would have requested stockholders of the Company to, among other things, remove all of the current members of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Company Board"), establish the size of the Company Board at four members and fill the newly created vacancies on the Company Board with four other persons (including Parent) (the "Nominees"). If the Nominees had been elected, the Nominees would have considered, consistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders under applicable law, whether to redeem the Rights (or amend the Rights Agreement to make the Rights inapplicable to the Offer and the Proposed Merger) and approve the Offer and the Proposed Merger under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), which would satisfy the Rights Condition and the Section 203 Condition, and take such other actions as may be required to permit the prompt consummation of the Offer and the Proposed Merger. Parent and Purchaser expected that, subject to their fiduciary duties under applicable law, the Nominees would have redeemed the Rights (or amend the Rights Agreement to make the Rights inapplicable to the Offer and the Proposed Merger) and approved the Offer and the Proposed Merger under Section 203 of the DGCL, which would have satisfied the Rights Condition and the Section 203 Condition, and taken such other actions as may have been required to permit the prompt consummation of the Offer and the Proposed Merger. Although Parent is not now soliciting consents from the stockholders of the Company, Parent may, in the future, decide to solicit consents of the stockholders of the Company. Any future consent solicitation will be made pursuant to separate consent solicitation materials." The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in the section entitled "Introduction" is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the sixth paragraph and replacing it with the following: "Bidding Process. The Company has appointed a Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Special Committee") to consider and act with respect to the potential change of control transaction involving the Company.

As a result, the Special Committee has established certain guidelines that Parent, Purchaser and other bidders have been asked to follow (the "Bidding Process").

For more information on the Bidding Process, please see the April 25, 2000 letter from counsel to the Special Committee to Parent and Purchaser described in Section 10. Purchaser reserves the right to amend the Offer at any time, including in the event it enters into a merger agreement with the Company or it negotiates a merger agreement with the Company not involving a tender offer pursuant to which Purchaser would terminate the Offer and the Shares would, upon consummation of such merger, be converted into cash."

The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in Section 13 ("Certain Conditions of the Offer ") is hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the beginning of subparagraph (g), the following phrase: "other than in connection with any offer submitted to the Company in accordance with the Bidding Process," The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in Section 13 ("Certain Conditions of the Offer ") is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting subparagraph (k)(i) of such section and replacing it with the following: "(k)(i) any material contractual right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates shall be impaired or otherwise adversely affected or any material amount of indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, joint ventures or partnerships (other than the Company's existing revolving credit facility) shall become accelerated or otherwise become due before its stated due date, in either case, with or without notice or the lapse of time or both, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Offer or the Proposed merger, or" The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in Section 13 ("Certain Conditions of the Offer") is hereby amended and supplemented by adding an additional sentence to the last paragraph thereof to read as follows: "Moreover, if Purchaser makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if it waives a material condition of the Offer, Purchaser will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 14d-4(d), 14d-6(c) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act."

PURPOSES OF THE TRANSACTION AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS. The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase in Section 11 ("Purpose of the Offer; Plans for the Company; the Proposed Merger") is hereby amended and supplemented by deleting the third paragraph and replacing it with the following: "On April 12, 2000, Parent filed preliminary Consent Solicitation materials with the SEC.

Mr. Low also announced that in light of his participation in the bidding process established by the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of KLLM for the sale of KLLM, Mr. Low will not pursue his proposed consent solicitation which, if successfully pursued, would have, among other things, removed the entire Board of Directors of KLLM and replaced such Board with four other persons, including Mr. Low. Accordingly, the consent statement and related materials filed on April 12, 2000 by Mr. Low, in preliminary form, will be withdrawn. # # # This news release is for information purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell any shares of KLLM common stock and is not a solicitation of a proxy or written consents. If, at some future date, a new consent solicitation is commenced by Mr. Low and/or any affiliate of Mr. Low, a consent statement will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which statement would contain important information that should be read carefully by security holders of KLLM. Security holders would be able to obtain at no charge a consent statement and related materials when they become available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.
