ROADWAY EXPRESS IMPROVES TRANSIT TIMES THROUGH SLEEPER LANES

   Roadway Express Inc., the principal subsidiary of Roadway Corp., said it has shortened delivery times by one day on about 20,000 service lanes throughout the United States and Canada.

   The Akron, Ohio-based motor carrier is employing two-driver sleeper teams, which use a tractor with a sleeping berth, on its two-day and beyond services. Markets affected by the new sleeper lanes include Chicago Heights, Ill.; Dallas; Denver; Houston; Indianapolis; Memphis; St. Louis; and Winston Salem, N.C.

   Roadway Express improved services standards on another 20,000 additional lanes last year.
