Con-way said in a statement that the new Con-way Truckload is comprised of more than 2,800 tractors, 8,000 trailers, and 3,500 employees. And it added that the unit is expected to generate $500 million in annual revenues.

When the acquisition was first announced in July 2007, LM reported that Con-way President and CEO Douglas W.
