Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier and subsidiary of
Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced it has been named LTL

70 primary carriers engaged by Ryder to provide LTL freight
services.
Ryder holds its core carriers to some of the most stringent
quality and service performance standards in the trucking industry.
Con-way Freight won top LTL carrier honors in Ryder's annual

handling, accurate and on-time invoicing and customer
service/solution development support. It was the second consecutive
year in which Con-way Freight scored highest among Ryder's LTL
carriers.
"Much of what we do for our customers is made possible thanks in
part to the support we receive from our carriers," said

and congratulate them for going above and beyond to ensure that
goods are moved in a safe, timely and efficient manner."
