Con-way rebrands Contract Freighters

Con-way rebrands Contract Freighters Con-way Inc. said Thursday it is placing its new truckload unit Contract Freighters under the Con-way brand.
   The Joplin, Mo.-based truckload carrier that was acquired last August will now be known as Con-way Truckload.
   Con-way, which also owns less-than-truckload carrier Con-way Freight and Menlo Worldwide Logistics, operated a small truckload unit prior to acquiring Contract Freighters. All the truckload operations will now operate under the same name.
   The new, combined Con-way Truckload forms a business unit of more than 2,800 tractors, 8,000 trailers and 3,500 employees, which is expected to bring in $500 million in annual revenues, the company said.
