CF Customers Save Up to $100 On Expedited Shipments With PrimeTime Air "Holiday Special".

MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 7, 1998--Consolidated Freightways (CF) customers can save up to $100 on expedited shipments as part of a PrimeTime Air "Holiday Special" promotion. Frequent PrimeTime Air shippers are also eligible to receive a CF holiday gift from a selected list of premium items.

"Every CF PrimeTime Air customer -- from single shippers to major distributors -- can save money on time-definite shipments during the busy peak season, and qualify for free gifts," said Steve Redmond, director of CF's PrimeTime Air division. "The offer is a way for CF to show our appreciation to customers who choose PrimeTime Air."

CF's Holiday Special will remain in effect through January 1999.

Combining strategic air partnerships with a sophisticated ground network, CF PrimeTime Air offers a fast, reliable and cost effective solution for companies requiring expedited freight delivery. PrimeTime Air service includes one- to five-day door-to-door deliveries, next flight out and emergency charters for domestic and international customers.

"As shippers look for ways to increase efficiencies and reduce costs, they require options that include delivering goods on a particular day, often at a specific hour," said Redmond. "This is especially true during the peak season. Distributors need to get products to market in time for weekend sales, and manufacturers must respond to increased orders while attempting to maintain lean inventories and normal cycle time commitments."

With services like PrimeTime Air, Consolidated Freightways has evolved from a traditional trucking company to a provider of total transportation and logistics solutions. "Transportation impacts a number of supply chain efficiencies," said CF President and CEO Roger Curry. "CF understands that customers need better, faster and smarter ways to plan and move freight."

For more information about CF's PrimeTime Air, shippers can call 888/CFC-FLYS or contact their local Consolidated Freightways terminal. Companies can also obtain quotes and make bookings on the Internet at www.ptair.cfwy.com. PrimeTime Air coordinators are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help companies develop the best solution to meet time-definite and expedited needs.
