EXHIBIT 99.1

Gasel Transportation Lines, Inc. Reports Results for Fiscal First Quarter 2004

MARIETTA, Ohio, June 10, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Gasel Transportations Lines, Inc. (OTCBB:GSEL), currently operating as a debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 Reorganization, today announced results for fiscal first quarter 2004. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, freight income revenue totaled $3,605,729 and training school revenue was $163,067 for combined revenue of $3,768,796, representing a 3.73% increase from prior year combined revenue of $3,634,496 and the second sequential year-year increase in the most recent eight reporting periods. Combined revenue for the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 was $10,796,404; a 2.41% increase over $10,541,872 reported for the same nine month period one year prior. The revenue increase is largely a result of increased freight demand, higher prices and the use of additional owner/operators that increased supply without a subsequent increase in associated costs.

Net Income for the period increased 106.96% to $50,017 from year prior net loss of ($719,130). Earnings per share (EPS) for Q1 2004 were $0.005, while combined net loss for the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 totaled ($856,689) a 62.69% improvement over net loss of ($2,295,983) for the same nine month period one year prior.

Total Operating Expenses for the first quarter of 2004 decreased $64,349, or 10.9%, to $525,475 from $589,824 in the Q1 2003, indicative of the Company's staff reductions and consolidation of operations to a single terminal in Marietta, OH. Reorganization items contributed $343,529 to profits from extinguished debt and $8,000 in expenses from professional and bankruptcy fees for the period.

Mike Post, President & CEO commented that: "We are elated that the combined effects of the reorganization and improved economy have helped us to achieve another sequential quarter of growth and report our first profitable period in over two and a half years. We remain committed to working with the Court and our debt holders to resolve our reorganization proceedings and to extend the gains that we've been able to achieve while further capitalizing on the steady economic improvements that have helped to stimulate our operations. Our diligent cost-cutting and consolidating efforts have decreased our operating expenses and should further augment Gasel's ability to conclude its reorganization and generate shareholder value through steady improvements in operations and revenues."
