CF filed for liquidation bankruptcy in 2002. Con-Way was split off prior to that and is still in operation if I recall.

when they underbid our GE contracts they sure did...


as well as take the Wright Pat outbound away from ABF in Dayton...

many MANY times alvan stepped on toes as if they were ran like a dog eat dog operation. - A respectable freight company should recognize others territory and service. (in my opinion). (buddy)
