  ANN ARBOR, MI, Jun 16 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Con-way Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier and subsidiary of
Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), has extended its winning streak with a first
place victory at NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series Michigan 200. Driver
Colin Braun secured the win behind the wheel of his Con-way Freight True
LTL(SM) No. 6 Ford F-150. This win follows on the heels of Con-way
Freight's recent recognition as Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.'s 2008 Carrier of
the Year, and the company's newly announced and industry-revolutionizing
True LTL(SM) Pricing, illustrating the company's continuing momentum.

    "This weekend was an exciting win for the Con-way Freight team and for
Con-way Freight's customers," Braun said. "Not only was I able to get to
Victory Lane, but this was just one in a series of wins for the Con-way
Freight team over the last few months. Customers won this weekend, too,
with the introduction of True LTL(SM) Pricing, an industry-first capped
pricing model for large and heavyweight LTL shipments."

    Con-way Freight's vice president of marketing, Bill Wynne, stated, "We are
delighted for Colin, Roush Fenway Racing and the whole Con-way Freight
organization. Our introduction of True LTL(SM) Pricing has received
customer accolades and this win on the racetrack is representative of all
the good work going on at Con-way Freight."

    Con-way Freight's True LTL(SM) Pricing is the industry's first capped
pricing model, offering customers uncomplicated truckload-style pricing
for large LTL shipments. "True LTL(SM) Pricing is less expensive than
truckload -- eliminating the uncertainty, complexity and waste of
previous LTL pricing models," added Wynne.

    As an industry-leading carrier, Con-way Freight is committed to achieving
results for both its customers and race fans. For more information on True
