US Trucking, Inc. Completes Asset Purchase of Mid-Cal Express from Prime Companies, Inc.

CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 1999--

US Trucking, Inc. (OTC BB:USTK) announced today that it has completed the purchase of assets of Mid-Cal Express from Prime Companies, Inc. (OTC BB:PRMC) of San Francisco, California for approximately 400,000 shares of stock valued at $1,900,000.00.

Mid-Cal Express located in Grand Terrace, California, specialized in long-haul transport of fresh produce.

Management stated that the transaction added 60 tractors and 136 refrigerated trailers to the Company's existing truckload operations under its subsidiary, Gulf Northern Transport, Inc., and will contribute approximately $8.4 million in annual revenues.

Dan L. Pixler, President & CEO of US Trucking, Inc. said, "The acquisition of a West Coast, long-haul operation has been planned for some time. The purchase of Mid-Cal Express' assets and operations was an important step in our growth strategy of making opportunistic acquisitions outside of our core East Coast operating region. These types of acquisitions contribute substantially to profitability while expanding our operating territory. Therefore while we continue to seek out these special opportunities, we are maintaining our focus on acquisitions in our core region that can improve our operating efficiencies and capitalize on synergies that exist in other operating divisions."
