April 9, 2003 P.A.M. Transportation Services, Inc., (NASDAQ:PTSI) announced that it has closed the acquisition of McNeill Trucking, Inc. of Little Rock, Arkansas. A whollyowned subsidiary of the Company acquired assets of McNeill Trucking, Inc. and will operate the new business as McNeill Express, Inc.
Bob Weaver, President and CEO of the Company, said: The addition of McNeill will give us added capacity to handle additional freight demands from our customers as well
as a strategic location for both equipment maintenance and driver recruiting. Much of our freight traffic is routed directly through Little Rock, Arkansas, which will decrease
the need for the use of outside repair vendors. In addition to McNeill, we are also proud to announce that the Company has been recommended for upgrade to the ISO 9000: 2000
standard by the companys registrar.
