Siffer is a veteran manager with nearly 20 years of experience across a wide range of less-than-truckload (LTL) freight sales, service and operations activities. He will be based at the company’s general office in Ann Arbor.

He was previously manager of carrier relations, and will continue to oversee and manage the company’s purchased truckload transportation activities, as well as Con-way’s Deferred Service offering. Among his responsibilities will be maintaining relations with strategic intermodal and over-the-road truckload service providers, contract administration, capacity procurement, long-term strategic planning, and developing programs to reduce line-haul costs, improve efficiency and increase capacity utilization.  He reports to Rick Trott, vice president of operations for Con-way Freight.

“Chuck has consistently demonstrated superior management skill and insight directing our purchased transportation activities,” said Trott.  “This promotion recognizes the importance of these partner operations to our service performance goals, and the contributions Chuck has made in successfully managing them.”

Siffer will continue to work closely with Con-way Freight’s West, Central and South line-haul directors to improve transcontinental operations and maximize carrier performance.
