         CON-WAY COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF CONTRACT FREIGHTERS, INC.

$750 MILLION ACQUISITION EXPANDS CAPABILITIES, CREATES UNIQUE TRANSPORTATION

                          AND LOGISTICS ENTERPRISE



SAN MATEO, Calif., and JOPLIN, Mo. - Aug. 23, 2007 - Con-way Inc. (NYSE:CNW)

today announced that it has completed its $750 million acquisition of

Contract Freighters, Inc. (CFI), a privately held North American truckload

carrier based in Joplin, Mo. The acquisition adds to Con-way's portfolio a

respected, well-managed company with significant market share and a

substantial presence in the truckload market with its 3,000 employees and a

fleet of more than 2,600 tractors and 7,000 trailers.



The acquisition positions Con-way as a unique enterprise in the freight

transportation industry, offering market-leading less-than-truckload (LTL),

truckload (TL) and supply chain management services with a diverse suite of

high-value solutions for shippers in North America as well as globally, noted

Douglas W. Stotlar, president and CEO, Con-way Inc.



"CFI is a highly strategic acquisition that immediately establishes us as a

major player in the truckload market and strengthens our capabilities as a

premier provider of freight transportation and supply chain solutions,"

Stotlar said. "We are positioning this company for growth on a global scale -

one with differentiated yet complementary service offerings, and an excellent

foundation for increasing shareholder value. I'm very pleased to officially

welcome CFI's 3,000 employees to the Con-way organization."



CFI joins the existing Con-way Truckload to form a business unit expected to

generate some $500 million in annual revenues. The division, combined with

Con-way's LTL carrier Con-way Freight and global supply chain services

provider Menlo Worldwide, offers customers a suite of transportation and

logistics services that can cover "first-mile" sourcing in Asia or Europe to

"last-mile" delivery in North America.



"As part of the Con-way enterprise, we're presented with exciting

opportunities to accelerate our growth, penetrate new markets and provide a

wider array of services to our customers," said Herb Schmidt, CFI's

president. "We can now enjoy the benefits of Con-way's strong brand,

extensive infrastructure and broad service offering. We're proud to join an

organization with values and service philosophies similar to those that have

served us well for many years, and which we will continue to embrace."



On July 16, Con-way announced its intent to acquire CFI's parent holding

company, Transportation Resources, Inc., CFI and all other subsidiaries of

the parent holding company. The company expects to provide financial

statements for CFI and pro-forma consolidated financials including CFI before

the end of the third quarter. The company's consolidated financial

statements presented with Con-way's third quarter earnings report will

include CFI's results from the date of closing.



The acquisition was funded with existing cash resources together with

proceeds from debt financing.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this press release constitute "forward-looking
statements" and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and should
not be relied upon as predictions of future events. All statements other than
statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including any
projections and objectives of management for future operations, any
statements concerning proposed new products or services, any statements
regarding Con-way's estimated future contributions to pension plans, any
statements as to the adequacy of reserves, any statements regarding the
outcome of any claims that may be brought against Con-way, any statements
regarding future economic conditions or performance, any statements of
estimates or belief, any statements regarding the acquisition of
Transportation Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Contract
Freighters, Inc. (collectively, "CFI"), and related financing, and any
statements or assumptions underlying the foregoing. Specific factors that
could cause actual results and other matters to differ materially from those
discussed in such forward-looking statements include: changes in general
business and economic conditions, the creditworthiness of Con-way's customers
and their ability to pay for services rendered, increasing competition and
pricing pressure, changes in fuel prices or fuel surcharges and the effect of
recently-filed litigation alleging that Con-way engaged in price fixing of
fuel surcharges in violation of Federal antitrust laws,  the effects of the
cessation of the air carrier operations of Emery Worldwide Airlines, the
possibility that Con-way may, from time to time, be required to record
impairment charges for long-lived assets, the  acquisition of CFI and related
financing (including without limitation risks relating to the financing,
integration risks and risks that acquisition synergies are not realized), the
possibility of defaults under Con-way's $400 million credit agreement, $500
million bridge credit agreement, and other debt instruments (including
without limitation defaults resulting from unusual charges), and the
possibility that Con-way may be required to repay certain indebtedness in the
event that the ratings assigned to its long-term senior debt by credit rating
agencies are reduced, labor matters, enforcement of and changes in
governmental regulations, environmental and tax matters, matters relating to
the 1996 spin-off of Consolidated Freightways Corporation ("CFC"), including
the possibility that CFC's multi-employer pension plans may assert claims
against Con-way, matters relating to the sale of Menlo Worldwide Forwarding,
Inc., including Con-way's obligation to indemnify the buyer for certain
losses in connection with the sale, and matters relating to Con-way's defined
benefit pension plans. The factors included herein and in Item 7 of Con-way's
2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission could cause actual results and other matters to
differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. As a result,
no assurance can be given as to future financial condition, cash flows, or
results of operations.
