You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== History ==

((for|the history of the company prior to its 1996 split|Consolidated Freightways))

Con-way's heritage dated from 1929, when industry pioneer Leland James founded an intercity trucking company in [[Portland, Oregon]]. Initially named Consolidated Truck Lines, the company grew from a one-truck operation into one of the largest long-haul carriers in the United States by the early 1980s, and became one of the few freight transportation firms to originate in the West and successfully expand eastward.<ref>((Cite web |title=About Con-way |url=http://www.con-way.com/en/about_con_way/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216121226/http://www.con-way.com/en/about_con_way |archive-date=16 February 2012 |access-date=13 February 2012 |website=Con-way))</ref> Consolidated headquarters were moved to the [[San Francisco Bay Area]] in the 1950s.

In 1996, Consolidated's unionized long-haul trucking company, CF MotorFreight, was spun off as [[Consolidated Freightways]], Inc., creating two separate publicly traded companies. '''Con'''solidated Freight'''way'''s, Inc. was renamed CNF Transportation, Inc., reflecting the familiar stock ticker symbol of the company (CNF).

Consolidated Freightways Corporation filed for [[Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code|Chapter 11 bankruptcy]] on September 3, 2002, and ceased operations.

In 2006, the CNF Transportation changed its name to Con-way, Inc, and the company's NYSE stock ticker was changed from CNF to CNW.

In 2007, Con-way acquired '''Contract Freighters, Inc.''' (CFI),<ref>((Cite news |last=Carey |first=Nick |date=23 October 2007 |title=Con-way Profits Fall, Say Competition Hurts Prices |publisher=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/2007/10/23/idUSN2333846320071023 |accessdate=5 April 2012 |archive-date=9 September 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909134129/http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/10/23/idUSN2333846320071023 |url-status=dead ))</ref> a privately held North American truckload carrier based in [[Joplin, Missouri]], in a transaction valued at $750 million. Founded in 1951, CFI operated more than 2,600 tractors and more than 7,000 trailers, with more than 3,000 employees including approximately 2,500 drivers that serve customers throughout North America.

Con-way moved its headquarters from [[San Mateo, California]] to [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]] in 2011.<ref>((Cite web |last=Bomey |first=Nathan |date=2 October 2011 |title=Why Con-way Inc. moved its headquarters from Silicon Valley to Ann Arbor area |url=http://www.annarbor.com/business-review/why-con-way-inc-moved-its-headquarters-from-silicon-valley-to-ann-arbor-area/ |access-date=12 November 2021 |website=AnnArbor.com))</ref>

On September 9, 2015, Con-way announced it was being acquired by [[XPO Logistics]], and the sale was completed on October 30, 2015.
