Con-way, Inc. is a freight transportation and logistics company with businesses in less-than-truckload and full truckload freight services, truckload brokerage, logistics, warehousing, supply chain management and trailer manufacturing, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Con-way’s services are used by some 400,000 customers. Its operations and subsidiaries employ approximately 28,000 people. The company changed its name from CNF, Inc. on 18 April 2006. The initials CNF were the company's previous NYSE stock ticket symbol. Con-way's new symbol is "CNW." Con-way traces its heritage to Leland... James, who in 1929 founded a small regional trucking company in Portland, Oregon. James, the son of a river pilot, had been successful operating a large retail tire business and later a private inter-city bus company in Portland. Believing that he could find more profits moving freight instead of people, he sold his previous businesses and acquired several local freight companies, and on April 1, 1929, combined them to form Consolidated Truck Lines. Unlike most trucking concerns of the day, CF began as a company rooted in the western United States, and expanded east.
