With a population of 49,644, Casper is the second largest city in Wyoming, after the capital city of Cheyenne with 53,011 inhabitants, on March 6. The company leased the 9,000 square foot building on I-25 at 2000 East "F" Street.

With increased freight handling capacity in Casper, CWX's next-day direct service will be extended to the outlying Wyoming markets of Gillette, Douglas, Riverton and Thermopolis. Next-day direct service will also be available to markets in Colorado and Billings, MT. Two-day service is available to the South, Midwest and Northeast. In 1999, CWX opened a facility in Casper as a zone operation. "We establish `zones' where there is business to warrant service, but not enough to justify a staffed service center," said "Chip" Boone, president and chief executive officer of CWX. "So we only provide pickup and delivery service in the immediate area. But in the short time that Casper has been open, business has grown to such an extent that it was necessary to open a staffed facility. Now that we have more direct service points in Wyoming and Colorado, we can assure those customers of the same high CON-WAY standards from pick-up to final delivery of their shipments," added Boone. The new service center opened with six employees. The building includes 5,000 square feet of docking capacity with 10 dock doors. Tom Johnson Tom Johnson may refer to:
