Company Wins Fleet Safety Award for Second Straight Year
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - December 04, 2008
Con-way Freight was honored at the recent Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association (WMCA) Annual Meeting with a safety award. The less-than-truckload carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW) today announced that it has been recognized for its exemplary safety record and practices by the WMCA with a 2007 Fleet Safety Award in the Division IV, Over Five Million Miles category. Con-way also received this award in 2007. The annual awards were presented at the Chairman’s Banquet in October at the Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells, Wis.
“We are happy for the opportunity to once again recognize Con-way Freight for its continuing commitment to safety,” said Tom Howells, president, Wisconsin Motor Carriers Association. “Winning this award two years in a row is a testament to the safe driving skills practiced by Con-way’s professional drivers.”
Winners are selected based on factors including miles driven, types of driving, number of accidents and other safety indicators. The awards are sponsored by the Great West Casualty Company, one of the largest insurers of trucking companies in the United States, and company representative Pat Kuehl was on hand to present the plaques.
“We at Con-way Freight are honored to have received this award for the second year in a row,” said John G. Labrie, president, Con-way Freight. “Safety is one of our core values, and the safe driving of our professional driver sales representatives is something we take great pride in.”
