The new $13 million facility at 14710 FM 1472 Mines Road features a
70,000-square-foot dock with 148 loading doors, more than doubling the capacity
of the previous service center. As Con-way's primary gateway for freight traffic
to and from Mexico, the facility also includes dedicated space for "in-bond"
shipments, a secure area of the facility for trans-shipping of cargoes to and
from Mexico while maintaining their integrity under secure Customs bond.

"This new facility, combined with the proven skills and experience of our
Laredo team, is essential for providing timely, responsive and reliable service
in the cross-border trade market, and supporting our business relationships with
customs brokers and both Mexico and U.S. customs officials," said Greg
Lehmkuhl, president of Con-way Freight. "This is our principal gateway for
shipments to and from Mexico and we look forward to continued growth for
Laredo serving this market."

"Encouraging collaboration between Customs and Border Protection and the
business community facilitates strong partnership and helps drive expanded trade
opportunity for all parties," said Sidney K. Aki, port director, Laredo Port of
Entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. "Cross-border trade is the lifeblood
of commerce, and Con-way Freight's investment in Laredo speaks volumes to its
support for trade growth in Laredo."

"Today, we celebrate the hard work, dedication and passion by Con-way Freight to
improve trade opportunities in Laredo that not only make a difference in the
economy, but also to the quality of life for the Laredoans who work for them,"
said city of Laredo Mayor Raul G. Salinas. "Con-way Freight has long known
the value of having and expanding their operations here in Laredo, given our
position as the nation's number-one inland port and our long-standing
relationship and experience with doing business in and with Mexico. This
continues to reinforce the city of Laredo's commitment to seek businesses from
around the globe to utilize our locale for their trade opportunities."

Con-way employs 133 local residents in Laredo in jobs such as driver sales
representative, customer service, sales, freight operations and management,
serving over 2,000 local businesses, noted Ted Garcia, Laredo's service center
manager. The new facility marks the company's third expansion since opening for
business in Laredo in 1989.

"From Laredo, we provide next-day service throughout Texas to Dallas/Fort
Worth, Houston, Harlingen and Del Rio; second-day service to Orlando, Fla.,
Nashville, Minneapolis, Denver and Phoenix; and three-day service as far as
Southern Florida, and into Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Dakota
and Southern California, " Garcia said. The remainder of the continental U.S.
and major cities in Canada are primarily four-day delivery points.

For Mexico, cross-border service and pickup/delivery within the country is
provided in partnership with sister company Con-way Truckload, which also has
operations in Laredo. Con-way Truckload owns and operates CFI Logistica, its
dedicated Mexico subsidiary, which has 30 years of experience in Mexico. CFI
Logistica provides intra-Mexico coverage through long-established carrier
partners in Mexico providing local service and connecting cross-border
gateways with major business and industrial centers in the country.

Garcia added that the breadth and precision of Con-way Freight's operating
network in the continental U.S. enables the company to provide the industry's
fastest transit times to and from Mexico, on average 25 percent faster. "Our
door-to-door delivery and service to all major cities in Mexico gives
customers the ultimate peace of mind and confidence when choosing Con-way
Freight for cross-border shipments," he said.

Garcia also noted that with the expansion, the company is now planning a number
of service enhancements for Mexico shippers, including a dedicated 24-hour
cross-border resource center, enhanced web tools to increase flexibility and
ease of shipping to and from Mexico, and other improvements.

The new Laredo service center is also a Lean pilot site for Con-way Freight.
Under this initiative, Laredo employees are undergoing training and adoption
of Lean processes and practices. Lean emphasizes respect for employees, and
empowering front-line workers to use continuous improvement tools and methods to
eliminate waste, and drive efficiencies and superior service performance into
all aspects of the business.
