INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Plan Administrator of

Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc.

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan benefits of Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2001, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The 2000 financial statements were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits as of December 31, 2001 and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule listed in the table of contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2001 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic 2001 financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees who have completed one year of service and 1,000 hours. The Plan is sponsored by Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. (the Sponsor). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and matching contributions and the earnings on those contributions and an allocation of any discretionary contributions made by the plan sponsor or non-vested account forfeitures.

Contributions

Participants may elect to contribute up to 15% of their annual compensation, subject to limitations established by the Internal Revenue Service. Participants may change their contribution rate twice a year. The Company will contribute a matching contribution equal to 50% of the first 6% of the employee contributions. The rate of matching contributions may be changed by the Company by resolution of its Board of Directors. The Company may also provide special discretionary contributions equal to a percentage of an employee’s compensation and/or an amount determined by the Company based on earnings. All discretionary amounts are determined by the management of the Plan sponsor.
