SUPPLEMENT NO. 1 TO

                  PROXY STATEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 20, 2001, OF

                         JORDAN AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC.


                                 OCTOBER 3, 2001


     On October  2,  2001,  the United  States  District  Court for the  Eastern
District  of  Kentucky  issued an order in the  litigation  brought  against the
Company  by W.  Neal  Jordan.  The  Court  granted  Mr.  Jordan's  motion  for a
preliminary injunction to preclude the counting in connection with the Company's
Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  to be held on  October  4, 2001 (the  "Annual
Meeting"),  of the  3,100,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock issued on
August 6, 2001,  to the  Kirkland S. & Rena B. Lamb  Foundation  (the  "Enjoined
Stock") in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of the Company's  outstanding preferred
stock. The Court denied without  prejudice Mr. Jordan's motion for a preliminary
injunction  to prevent the Company  from  issuing any  additional  shares of the
Company's  common stock.  The Court also denied the Company's  motion to dismiss
the litigation.

     The  court  order  has no other  effect  on the  Enjoined  Stock,  which is
therefore  issued and outstanding for all purposes other than in connection with
the Annual Meeting.  As a result of the court order,  the outstanding  shares of
the  Company's  common  stock  entitled  to vote at the  Annual  Meeting  is now
11,117,266  shares.  Therefore,  the table contained in the section of the Proxy
Statement  entitled "Voting Security  Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management" is still  accurate as regards to the beneficial  ownership of shares
of the  Company's  outstanding  common stock  regarding  the power to dispose of
those shares,  but it is no longer  accurate as to the  beneficial  ownership of
shares of the  Company's  outstanding  common stock  regarding the power to vote
those shares at the Annual Meeting.

     The following table sets forth, as of August 6, 2001,  certain  information
concerning  the Company's  outstanding  common stock that is entitled to vote at
the  Annual  Meeting  and that is owned of  record or  beneficially  by (i) each
person who owns  beneficially more than 5% of the Company's  outstanding  common
stock; (ii) each of the Company's Directors and Executive Officers and the other
nominee for Director;  and (iii) all  Directors  and  Executive  Officers of the
Company as a group:

     disclaims any beneficial interest.

(2)  Represents the shares of the Company's common stock entitled to vote at the
     Annual  Meeting  and  owned of record by the Lamb  Foundation  because  Mr.
     Williams,  as a member of the investment  committee of the Lamb Foundation,
     is deemed a "beneficial  owner" of those shares because he shares the power
     to direct the voting or disposition of those shares. Mr. Williams disclaims
     any beneficial interest in those shares.

(3)  Mr.  Jordan is  opposing  his  removal as a Director of the Company and the
     nominees  for  Director  recommended  by the  Company  and all of the other
     proposals  presented by the Board of Directors to the  Shareholders  at the
     Annual Meeting,  except for the ratification of the Company's  selection of
     independent  auditor.  Mr.  Jordan owns of record 39.1% of the  outstanding
     shares of the Company's  common stock  entitled to vote at the Meeting (the
     "Voting  Stock").  He may also be able to influence the trustee he recently
     appointed for the irrevocable  trusts of his children,  which  collectively
     own of  record  5.0% of the  Voting  Stock,  to vote  with  him.  The  Lamb
     Foundation  has  indicated to the Company that it has no  confidence in Mr.
     Jordan's  ability to manage the Company and opposes Mr. Jordan's efforts to
     control  the  Company.  The  Lamb  Foundation,  the  other  members  of the
     Company's  management and the other nominee for Director recommended by the
     Company collectively own 9.0% of the Voting Stock.
