Re Subject: Con-way Freight General Rate Increase
Con-way Freight will increase the rates in its base tariff, CNWY-599. The increase will be effective Monday, November 1, 2010. The average weighted impact of the rate increase will be 6.5%. The rates in the Con-way Freight Rules Tariff, CNWY-199, will remains the same. No increase.
It is important that all Con-way Freight account executives, corporate account executives and national account executives review their accounts immediately and determine those using the current version of the Con-way Freight Tariff CNWY-599 in their pricing agreement. These are the customers who will be immediately affected by the increase on November 1st. Communicate this rate change to those customers during the month of October.
The reason for our increase:
The LTL industry is operating at a loss
Con-way Freight costs have risen faster than price (Or, if you know your customer's price has
decreased, prices have decreased while costs have increased).
Government regulations continues to add cost
Con-way Freight’s profitability is too low to recapitalize our fleet
This price increase will ensure that we can provide the level of service that our customers expect
To include supporting highly trained uniformed drivers, improving safety, SafeStack that eliminates damage and hand held computers for drivers that improve customer information.
ExpressRate will be available no later than mid November for those customers that use. The rate quote screen will be uploaded with the GRI Monday, October 25, 2010.
IMPORTANT: Customers who are on CNWY – 599 who were selected for Wave 1, 2 or 3 increases will not be affected by this general increase.
