        <footnote id="F1">On May 8, 2001, the Moyes Children's Limited Partnership (the &quot;Partnership&quot;) entered into a variable prepaid forward contract with an
unaffiliated third party pursuant to which 1,300,000 shares of the issuer's common stock were pledged by the Partnership (see the
Form 4 filed with the SEC June 1, 2001). The contract was set to mature on May 10, 2004, at which time the Partnership would have
been required to deliver an agreed settlement amount, which could have been paid in cash, shares, or a combination of the two. The
Partnership elected to settle the contract in cash in advance of its maturity date without delivering any shares. Although reported
here as a purchase of 1,300,000 shares, the reporting person and the Partnership do not admit the transaction was a purchase for
purposes of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Partnership was formed September 4, 2000 by seven trusts for
the benefit of six children of Jerry and Vickie Moyes.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The cash settlement price was $16.9092 per share.</footnote>
    </footnotes>

    <remarks>The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares owned by the Partnership, and the filing of this report is not an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.</remarks>
