        Con-way Freight Driver Achieves Two Million Accident-Free Miles

        John Ressler Joins Distinguished Group of Con-way Freight Professionals

        ANN ARBOR, Mich., and PITTSBURGH - April 10, 2009 - Every industry has
        certain unique career milestones which set apart an individual as especially
        skilled and accomplished in their profession. For a professional truck
        driver, two million miles of safe driving without an accident is the
        ultimate measure of excellence. It is an elite club that now counts Irwin,
        Pa., resident John Ressler as a member.

        Ressler is a driver sales representative for Con-way Freight, a
        less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carrier and the largest subsidiary of
        Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW). He safely drove the two million miles between 1987
        and 2009. The company recently recognized Ressler's achievement in a
        ceremony at its Pittsburgh service center, where he is based.

        "John Ressler's impressive accomplishment highlights the personal and
        professional commitment to safety of those of our employees who go behind
        the wheel of a truck every day, and who make it their business to
        demonstrate superior safety performance on the highways, in our service
        centers and at our customers' facilities," said John G. Labrie, president,
        Con-way Freight. "Safety is one of our core values, and we congratulate John
        for his extraordinary achievement."

        Ressler has been a professional truck driver for 30 years. His route takes
        him from Pittsburgh to Columbus, Ohio, - roughly 450 miles roundtrip.
        Previous to reaching two million miles of accident-free driving, he received
        safety awards commemorating five, 10, 15 and 20 years of safe driving, as
        well as an award for reaching his first million miles. Ressler has been
        married to his wife, Teresa, for 29 years. They have three children: Anna,
        29; Kelly, 18; and Jonathan, 15. He is also the proud grandfather to two
        grandsons, ages 11 and 2. In his free time he enjoys riding ATV quads.

        Over the company's 25-year history, more than 1,280 Con-way Freight driver
        sales representatives have reached the one-million-mile safe driving
        milestone, while more than 90 have driven two million miles accident-free.
