 Item 4.	CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

      A.  Effective July 16, 2002, upon the recommendation of the Audit
          Committee of Frozen Food Express Industries, Inc. (the "Company"),
          the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Arthur Andersen
          LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's independent public accountants
          and engaged KPMG LLP ("KPMG") to serve as the Company's
          independent public accountants for the fiscal year 2002.

          Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial
          statements for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 did not
          contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were
          such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope
          or accounting principle. During the Company's two most recent
          fiscal years ended December 31, 2001, and the subsequent interim
          period through March 31, 2002, there were no disagreements between
          the Company and Anderse n on any matters of accounting principle or
          practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or
          procedure which, if not resolved to Andersen's satisfaction, would
          have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the
          disagreement in connection with their reports on the Company's
          consolidated financial statements for such years and there were no
          reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a) (1) (v)of Regulation
          S-K.

          The Company provided Andersen with a copy of the foregoing
          disclosures. Arthur Andersen has informed the Company that due
          to its current difficulties it will be unable to respond to the
          Company's filing status whether it is in agreement with such
          statements.
