ITEM  5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT   OF  CERTAIN  OFFICERS;  COMPENSATORY  ARRANGEMENTS  OF  CERTAIN
OFFICERS.

On September 16,  2010  the  Board of Directors appointed Edith R. Perez as a
new director, effective immediately.   Ms.  Perez  was  also appointed to the
Audit  Committee of the Board of Directors. Upon her appointment,  Ms.  Perez
received  a  restricted  stock  award  having a value at the time of grant of
approximately $50,000, which constitutes  a  prorated  portion  of the annual
$85,000  restricted stock award received by all Directors. She will  also  be
entitled to  receive  an annual Board retainer (currently $63,000), an annual
committee retainer (currently $5,000) for serving on the Audit Committee, and
an annual restricted stock  grant  (currently $85,000 in value on the date of
grant) upon election or re-election  to the Board at the annual shareholders'
meeting.

In addition, on September 19, 2010 the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors  reinstated  the  annual  base salary  of  Herbert  J.  Schmidt  to
approximately  $401,000,  effective October  4,  2010.  As  reported  in  the
Company's Report on Form 8-K  filed  on  June  23, 2010, Mr. Schmidt's annual
base  salary was reduced to approximately $301,000  in  June  2010  when  the
Company  agreed  to Mr. Schmidt's proposal to reduce his work schedule by 25%
so that he could devote  more  discretionary  time  to  personal  and  family
interests.  Mr.  Schmidt,  an  Executive  Vice  President  of the Company and
President of the Company's Con-way Truckload subsidiary, will be resuming his
prior level of duties on October 4, 2010.

ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

The  Company  currently  expects to contribute $93.8 million to  its  defined
benefit pension plans in 2010, up from the estimated $25 million contribution
reported  in the Company's  second  quarter  2010  10-Q.  The  tax-deductible
pension contributions  are expected to result in a net after-tax cash outflow
of approximately $57 million  and  will  result  in  the  plans achieving 90%
funded status under the Pension Protection Act as of January 1, 2010.
