ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(AutomotiveWire)

November 10, 2000 - All three Con-Way Transportation Services (CON-WAY) less-than-truckload (LTL) components received awards recognizing their year 2000 fleet safety records at ceremonies held in St. Louis last month. The awards are presented annually by the American Trucking Associations' (ATA) Safety Management Council.

"Safety is a huge issue within the trucking industry. Without it, we have no industry, " said Gerald L. Detter, president and chief executive officer of CON-WAY. "Putting `safety first' is a top operating priority throughout all of CON-WAY. We are strongly committed to safety, so we consider it an honor to be recognized for our efforts."

Award eligibility is based on fleets of similar size, type and scope of operation. The "Safety Record" award is given to the fleet with the lowest accident frequency rate. The "Safety Improvement" award is given to companies who participated in the previous year's contest and who, in the current year, have experienced a reduction in their accident frequency rate over the previous year's. This year's awards recognized all three CON-WAY LTL components.
