Four Subsidiaries of U.S. Trucking, Inc. Voluntarily File
                  Chapter 11

                  CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 1, 2000--U.S.
                  Trucking, Inc. (OTCBB:USTK), announced today that its four
                  operating subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions to
                  effect an orderly liquidation of their assets with the
                  cooperation of the Company's primary secured lender.
                  UST Logistics, Inc., Mencor, Inc., Prostar, Inc., and Gulf
                  Northern Transport, Inc. filed bankruptcy petitions on
                  Thursday, November 30 in the United States Bankruptcy Court,
                  Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division.

                  Commenting on the filings, Dan L. Pixler, Chairman and CEO of
                  U.S. Trucking, Inc., stated, "It's important to note that the
                  publicly traded holding company, U.S. Trucking, Inc., is
                  moving forward and is not involved in these bankruptcy
                  proceedings. While the loss of revenues from these companies
                  will dramatically impact our consolidated revenues and
                  earnings as a whole, we anticipate bringing on substantial
                  profitable revenues soon.

                  "Placing our operating subsidiaries into bankruptcy was not an
                  easy decision. Along with the rest of our industry, we have
                  obviously encountered a difficult operating year. We were
                  particularly hurt by a lack of adequate information systems.
                  As we had made several large acquisitions, the inability to
                  integrate key information systems and obtain current operating
                  and financial information resulted in an inability to
                  adequately manage these new businesses and to make informed
                  decisions."

                  In connection with the bankruptcy filings, the Company has
                  entered into an agreement with its primary lender for
                  repayment of any deficiencies which may be left after
                  liquidation of the collateral. The agreement provides for
                  payment of the deficiency over three years, including payments
                  based upon a fixed percentage of the Company's ongoing
                  revenue.

                  In addition, Pixler commented, "The new management team is
                  dedicated and committed to incorporate the lessons learned
                  from the past year and to immediately begin rebuilding a
                  quality company. Our plan is to rebuild with an agency concept
                  that creates no long term or equipment debts. In fact, we are
                  currently negotiating with several small carriers to establish
                  agent programs that could initially generate revenues of
                  approximately $15 million annually, with the goal of reaching
                  a profitable $50 million revenue base over the next 12 months
                  for the Company."
