ANN ARBOR, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/09 -- Con-way Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL)
carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced the
launch of Global LTLTM -- a comprehensive portfolio of the company's
worldwide LTL services. The new offering was created to help customers
understand and benefit from the breadth of Con-way Freight's global
services. Full details on Global LTL are now available at www.con-way.com/freight/globalltl.
"The need for shippers to connect LTL service to a worldwide customer and
supplier base has increased significantly over the past few years, and
Con-way Freight has expanded its suite of services accordingly," said John
G. Labrie, president,
Con-way Freight. "Global LTL brings all of our worldwide solutions under
one umbrella, making it more convenient than ever for shippers to quickly
and intuitively locate the LTL service that best meets their needs. We're
always looking for new ways to improve the customer experience, and Global
LTL represents just one more step in that direction."
Services offered under Global LTL have been created expressly by Con-way
Freight or through strategic alliances with global counterparts of equally
high-caliber service, performance, quality and expertise. Customers will
now benefit from the same proven results they experience when shipping
within the United States -- exception-free delivery, on-time service
performance and faster transit times. Additionally, with state-of-the-art
online tools and the convenience of a one-stop solution, customers gain
visibility and control from country to country and shipment to shipment.
"Con-way Freight's goal is to create the most comprehensive worldwide LTL
service offering on the market," added Labrie. "We will continue to explore
opportunities to establish or expand our presence to bring customers the
end-to-end solutions their shipping requirements dictate."
Con-way Freight's Global LTL services include:
Service from Europe with Con-way Freight and TNT
Con-way Freight's alliance with TNT, one of the world's most successful and
established global express service providers, offers the advantage of the
two companies' combined networks.
