CON-WAY TO BEGIN NEW INTERMODAL LTL OPTION

CON-WAY TO BEGIN NEW INTERMODAL LTL OPTION

   Con-Way Transportation Services Inc. will be offering a new service option starting Monday, Con-Way DEFERRED.

   Con-Way called it a “slower” and “lower” service, adding that the “slower” portion of the service comes from using intermodal linehaul service to move transcontinental shipments. The “lower” portion of the option provides an automatic 20-percent reduction from prices already negotiated with current customers.

   Con-Way DEFERRED is the second service introduced by the company this year under its “Value Zone” program, which offers services designed to provide Con-Way customers with lower cost options.

   Con-Way is a subsidiary of CNF Inc., a management company of global supply chain services with businesses in regional trucking, airfreight, ocean freight, customs brokerage and trailer manufacturing.
