They have officially changed the name to Con-Way Freight and will rebrand all equipment along with changing the colors.
Don't really think they had any thoughts about UPS or any purchase of the ConWay empire.
If they had wanted to sell a business, then they would have sold CF back in the 90's instead of filing for bankruptcy.

You are right ....
Now let's just keep to the comments about the posted thread and remember that the employees of Con-Way had nothing to do with the bankruptcy of Consolidated Freightways.
We are all just working for a living here ....

If memory serves me right, Central Freight is the last existing member of the former Roadway Services. Roadway Services was the parent of Roadway Express before they Spun us off from their nonunion divisions. Other members of Roadway Services were, RPS, Coles, Spartan, and Viking. Coles and Spartan are gone, Central is sputtering, and Viking and RPS were acquired by Fedex.

To my knowledge Central Freight was never a part of Roadway Services.

I believe that at one time Central Freight was indeed under the umbrella that was Roadway Services.

He always takes off time. A couple a months for an itty bitty pitty,
and as soon as he gets back to work he sneaks out on a vacation.........

Lawofone, trucker4cf,CFer, and others who worked for CF:

I never worked for them, but in my 35 years of driving line haul for different carriers CF was admired by more than you will ever know. In the early 70's I was sitting one night on top of Lookout Pass headed east in the middle of winter. It was my first time with a set of doubles, the road was a sheet of ice, and trucks heading down the hill into Montana where all over the hill. A CF came up behind me and as he started over he hollered at me on the radio and asked what in the hell was I doing sitting there? I told him it didn't look good to me and he said,"Come on out in the middle with me son and we will go down this thing together. "Away I went and we went down the median, as there was no jersey barrier between the lanes then, it was solid concrete all the way across. The state had plowed all the snow in the middle and you had to run the throttle to get down the hill. Needless to say when we got to St. Regis he bought me a cup of coffee and welcomed me into the world of running doubles in the winter. I will never forget his kindness, and most of all I will never forget the men and women of CF who in there own way made a great company the envy of the rest of us!

Thank you CF drivers!
