Conway Freight Tapestries
Description: A graphic centered within an oval frame depicts a white semi-truck with two trailers, both bearing the text "Con-way". The truck is driving on a road beside a body of water with green hills in the background under a blue sky with clouds. Below the oval, large text reads "CONWAY FREIGHT" with smaller text, "Pulling For You Since 1933!". The style is illustrative with a retro feel.

Description: Con-way Freight was founded as a non-union spinoff by Consolidated Freightways (CF) in 1983 in Ann Arbor Charter Township, Michigan. CF’s business focus was long-haul transportation, with many of its routes averaging 1,300 miles. Research revealed that the most profitable segment of over-the-road transportation at the time was freight that traveled less than 500 miles, so a decision was made to pursue regional LTL operations. While deregulation through the 1980 Motor Carrier Act had left many carriers floundering and desperate for a buyout, CF elected to build Con-way from the ground up. The gamble paid off, and for the next three decades, Con-way Freight flourished, taking them through 2015 until they themselves were bought out.
