Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On May 18, 2006, Allied Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with respect to the Company’s Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement, as amended (the “DIP Facility”), by and among the Company and General Electric Capital Corporation, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., and the other lenders from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The Letter Agreement extends, until the earlier of (a) June 1, 2006 and (b) the occurrence of any new default or event of default under the DIP Facility, the maturity date of the Company’s overadvance facility included as part of its Term B Loan under the DIP Facility. As a result of the extension of the maturity date, the previously disclosed forbearance provisions relating to the Company’s defaults under the DIP Facility, which defaults remain outstanding, have also been extended to correspond with the new maturity date of the overadvance facility. All other terms and conditions of the DIP Facility, as amended, remain in full force and effect.
