PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

(a) General Development of Business

Consolidated Freightways, Inc. is a company which participates through
subsidiaries in various forms of nationwide and regional trucking,
truckload and intermodal rail, domestic and international air cargo
services, ocean forwarding, contract logistics and related transportation
activities. These operations are organized into three primary business
groups: nationwide, full-service trucking (CF MotorFreight), regional
trucking and full-service truckload (Con-Way Transportation Services), and
air freight and ocean forwarding (Emery Worldwide). Consolidated
Freightways, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1958 as a successor to a
business originally established in 1929. It is herein referred to as the
"Registrant" or "Company".

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

The operations of the Company are primarily conducted in the U.S. and
Canada and to a lesser extent in major foreign countries. An analysis by
industry group of revenues, operating income (loss), depreciation and
capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
and identifiable assets as of those dates is presented in Note 12 on pages
33 and 34 of the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated
herein by reference. Geographic group information is also presented
therein. Intersegment revenues and earnings thereon have been eliminated.

(c) Narrative Description of Business

The Company, for reporting purposes, has designated three principal
operating groups: the CF MotorFreight Group provides intermediate and
long-haul, less-than-truckload freight services throughout the U.S. and in
Canada and on a limited basis in Mexico, the Caribbean area, Central and
South America, Europe and the Pacific Rim; the Con-Way Transportation
Services Group provides one- and two-day, less-than-truckload service as
well as highway, rail and multi-modal logistics services; and the Emery
Worldwide Group is responsible for all domestic and international air
freight activities and ocean forwarding services. The Company also provides
full-service contract logistics through its subsidiary, Menlo Logistics,
which is included in the CF MotorFreight Group for reporting purposes only.


CF MOTORFREIGHT

CF MotorFreight(CFMF), the Company's largest single operating unit in terms
of revenues, is based in Menlo Park, California. The CFMF group is
composed of Consolidated Freightways Corporation of Delaware (CFCD)

PAGE 4

and Canadian operating units, and three non-carrier operations. Its
carrier group provides general freight services nationwide and in Canada
and on a limited basis in Mexico, the Caribbean area, Central and South
America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. Operations consist of an extensive
transportation network that typically moves shipments of manufactured or
non-perishable processed products having relatively high value and
requiring expedited service, compared to the bulk raw materials
characteristically transported by railroads, pipelines and water carriers.
The basic business of the general freight industry is to transport freight
that is less-than-truckload (LTL), an industry designation for shipments
weighing less than 10,000 pounds. CFMF is one of the nation's largest LTL
motor carriers in terms of 1995 revenues.

Competition continues to increase in the industry with trends toward
regionalization, continued pricing pressures and new competitors moving
into the small shipment segment of the business. To address this, CFMF
made major changes to its line-haul operations in the fourth quarter of
1995. This change of operations, called the Business Accelerator System
(BAS), replaces CFMF's traditional hub-and-spoke network with one that
moves freight directly from point-to-point and streamlines the freight
network. BAS has the effect of reducing miles and handling, thereby
reducing transit times and costs as well as rationalizing system capacity.

As a large carrier of LTL general commodity freight, at December 31, 1995,
CFMF operated approximately 39,200 vehicle units including pick-up and
delivery fleets in each area served, and a fleet of intercity tractors and
trailers. At December 31, 1995, it had a network of 380 U.S. and Canadian
freight terminals, metro centers and regional consolidation centers. Under
BAS, several regional consolidation centers have become metro centers. The
metro centers reduce freight handling through more direct city to city
service, thereby improving productivity. CFMF operations are supported by
a sophisticated data processing system for the control and management of
the business.

There is a broad diversity in the customers served, size of shipments,
commodities transported and length of haul. No single customer or
commodity accounted for more than a small fraction of total revenues.

CFMF operates daily schedules utilizing relay drivers who drive
approximately eight to ten hours each day and an increasing number of
sleeper teams which in December 1995 approximated 20% of all linehaul
miles. Road equipment consists of one tractor pulling two 28-foot double
trailers or, to a limited extent, one semi-trailer or three 28-foot
trailers. CFMF generally utilizes trailer equipment that is 102 inches in
width. The Company believes that trailers in double or triple combination
are more efficient and economical, and safer, than a tractor and single
semi-trailer combination. In 1995, the Company operated in excess of 477
million linehaul miles in North America, about 90% of which was conducted
by equipment in doubles and triples configuration. The accident frequency
of the triples configuration was lower than all other types of vehicle
combinations used by CFMF.

CFCD and several Canadian subsidiaries serve Canada through terminals in
the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova

PAGE 5

Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, Saskatchewan and in the Yukon Territory. The
Canadian operations utilize a fleet of over 1,100 trucks, tractors and
trailers.

Employees

At December 31, 1995, approximately 84% of CFMF's domestic employees were
represented by various labor unions, primarily the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT). CFMF and the IBT are parties to a National
Master Freight Agreement. The current agreement with the IBT expires in
April, 1998.

Labor costs, including fringe benefits, averaged approximately 67% of
CFMF's 1995 revenues. CFMF's domestic employment has declined to 19,200
employees at December 31, 1995 from approximately 20,700 at December 31,
1994, primarily the result of the implementation of the BAS. CFMF had
approximately 21,000 employees at December 31, 1993.

Fuel

Fuel prices have steadily declined during the last three years. CFMF's
average annual diesel fuel cost per gallon (without tax) declined from
$.621 in 1993 to $.578 and $.573 in 1994 and 1995, respectively. Most of
these savings have been mitigated by increases in fuel taxes.

Federal and State Regulation

Regulation of motor carriers has changed substantially in recent years.
The process started with the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, which allowed
easier access to the industry by new trucking companies, removed many
restrictions on expansion of services by existing carriers, and increased
price competition by narrowing the antitrust immunities available to the
industry's collective ratemaking organizations. This deregulatory trend
was continued by subsequent legislation in 1982, 1986, 1993 and 1994. The
process culminated with federal pre-emption of most economic regulation of
intrastate trucking regulatory bodies effective January 1, 1995, and with
legislation to terminate the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) effective
January 1, 1996.

Currently, the motor carrier industry is subject to federal regulation by
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Surface Transportation
Board (STB), both of which are units of the United States Department of
Transportation (DOT). The FHWA performs certain functions inherited from
the ICC relating chiefly to motor carrier registration, cargo and liability
insurance, extension of credit to motor carrier customers, and leasing of
equipment by motor carriers from owner-operators. In addition, the FHWA
enforces comprehensive trucking safety regulations relating to driver
qualifications, drivers' hours of service, safety-related equipment
requirements, vehicle inspection and maintenance, recordkeeping on
accidents, and transportation of hazardous materials. As pertinent to the
general freight trucking industry, the STB has authority to resolve certain
types of pricing disputes and authorize certain types of intercarrier
agreement under jurisdiction inherited from the ICC.

At the state level, federal preemption of economic regulation does not
prevent the states from regulating motor vehicle safety on their highways.

PAGE 6

In addition, federal law allows all states to impose insurance requirements
on motor carriers conducting business within their borders, and empowers most
states to require motor carriers conducting interstate operations through
their territory to make annual filings verifying that they hold appropriate
registrations from FHWA. Motor carriers also must pay state fuel taxes and
vehicle registration fees, which normally are apportioned on the basis of
mileage operated in each state.

Canadian Regulation

The provinces in Canada have regulatory authority over intra-provincial
operations of motor carriers and have been delegated the federal authority
to regulate inter-provincial motor carrier activity. Federal legislation
to phase in deregulation of the inter-provincial motor carrier industry
took effect January 1, 1988. The new legislation relaxes economic
regulation of inter-provincial trucking by easing market entry regulations,
and implements effective safety regulations of trucking services under
federal jurisdiction. The Company wrote off substantially all of
the unamortized cost of its Canadian operating authority in 1992.

Menlo Logistics

Menlo Logistics, Inc. (MLI), founded in 1990, provides full-service
contract logistics services for manufacturing, industrial and retail
businesses. These services include transportation management, dedicated
contract warehousing, dedicated contract carriage, just-in-time delivery
programs, customer order processing and freight bill payment and auditing.
MLI has approximately 750 employees. As contract logistics is a relatively
new industry, competition is expected to come from new entrants into the
markets it serves. MLI addresses the increased competition by utilizing
technologies and its established experience. Refer to the CF MotorFreight
section for discussion of federal and state regulation affecting the
transportation activities of MLI.

Other Operations

Two non-carrier operations within the CF MotorFreight Group, for reporting
purposes only, generate a majority of their sales from other subsidiaries
of the Company. Road Systems, Inc. primarily manufactures and rebuilds
trailers, converter dollies and other transportation equipment.
VantageParts, Inc. serves as a distributor and remanufacturer of vehicle
component parts and accessories to all segments of the heavy-duty truck and
trailer industry, as well as the maritime, construction, aviation and other
industries.


CON-WAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc. (CTS) is an operating company with
business units that provide regional LTL freight trucking; full-service
truckload freight delivery utilizing highway over-the-road and intermodal
rail stack train resources for regional, inter-regional and
transcontinental transportation; local and interstate container drayage and
international shipping. CTS has four operating units and at December 31,
1995 had approximately 12,400 employees. The regional trucking companies
face intensive competition as national LTL companies extend into regional
markets, and acquire and combine formerly independent regional carriers

PAGE 7

into inter-regional groups. New service offerings, continued expansion of
regional carrier networks, extension of next-day and second-day service and
enhanced inter-regional network capabilities are positioning CTS for growth
opportunities. Refer to the CF MotorFreight section for a discussion of
federal and state regulations.

Con-Way Regional Carriers

CTS has three regional motor carrier units, each of which operates
dedicated regional trucking networks principally serving core geographic
territories with next-day and second-day service. The regional carriers
serve manufacturing, industrial, commercial and retail business-to-business
customers with a fleet of approximately 20,500 trucks, tractors and
trailers at December 31, 1995.

Con-Way Western Express (CWX) was founded in May 1983 and today operates in
13 western states and serves Canada and Mexico. In January 1995, CWX
expanded operations into Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Vancouver,
British Columbia. At December 31, 1995, CWX operated 95 service centers.

Con-Way Central Express (CCX) was founded in June 1983 and today serves 23
states of the central and northeast U.S., and Ontario, Canada. In February
1995, CCX expanded into New Jersey and began providing service for
metropolitan New York City in addition to launching joint service with Con-
Way Southern Express. At December 31, 1995 CCX operated 204 service
centers

Con-Way Southern Express and Con-Way Southwest Express were founded in
April 1987 and November 1989, respectively. In December 1994, the two
carriers were combined into a single operating unit under the Con-Way
Southern Express (CSE) name serving a 14-state southern market from Texas
to the Carolinas and Florida, and encompassing Puerto Rico and Mexico. CSE
operated 98 service centers at December 31, 1995.

CTS has completed certain regional service expansions that allow the
regional carriers to provide next-day and second-day freight delivery
between their principal geographic regions, utilizing existing
infrastructure. CTS can now provide full regional service throughout the
United States and parts of Canada. The regional service expansion generates
additional business by allowing each regional carrier to compete for new
traffic and provide coverage of regional market lanes not individually
serviced as part of the regional carrier's core territory.

Con-Way Truckload Services

Con-Way Truckload Services (CWT), formerly known as Con-Way Intermodal, is
a full-service, multi-modal truckload company. CWT provides door-to-door
transcontinental movement of truckload shipments by rail container stack
train and rail trailer, utilizing nationwide operating alliances with major
railroads. It also provides expedited inter-regional and regional over-the-
road truckload service with a fleet of company-owned trucks and trailers.
Additionally, CWT provides rail freight forwarding with domestic intermodal
marketing services, assembly and distribution services, and local and
interstate container drayage.

EMERY WORLDWIDE

Emery Worldwide (EWW), the Company's air freight unit, was formed when the
Company purchased Emery Air Freight Corporation in April 1989 and merged it
with its own pre-existing air freight operation, CF AirFreight, Inc. The
combined companies expanded EWW's ability to deliver air freight within
North America and to 90 countries worldwide.

EWW provides global air cargo services through an integrated, combination
carrier, freight system designed for the movement of parcels and packages
of all sizes and weights. In North America, EWW provides these services
through a system of sales offices and service centers, and overseas through
foreign subsidiaries, branches and agents.

EWW provides door-to-door service within North America by using its own
airlift system, supplemented with commercial airlines. International
services are performed by operating primarily as an air freight forwarder
using commercial airlines, and with controlled lift used only when
necessary. Emery also operated approximately 2,000 trucks, vans and
tractors at December 31, 1995.

As of December 31, 1995, EWW utilized a fleet of 70 aircraft, 46 of which
are leased on a long-term basis, 11 are owned and 13 are contracted on a
short-term basis to supplement nightly volumes and to provide feeder
services. The nightly lift capacity of the aircraft fleet, excluding
charters, is approximately 4 million pounds.

EWW's hub-and-spoke system is centralized at the Dayton, Ohio International
Airport where a leased air cargo facility (Hub) and related support
facilities are located. The Hub handles all types of shipments, ranging
from small packages to heavyweight cargo, with a total effective sort
capacity of approximately 1.2 million pounds per hour. The operation of
the Hub in conjunction with EWW's airlift system enables it to maintain a
high level of service reliability.

Through a separate subsidiary of the Company, Emery Worldwide Airlines,
Inc. (EWA), the Company provides nightly cargo airline services under a
contract with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to carry Express and Priority
Mail, using 24 aircraft, of which 4 are leased on a long-term basis and 20
are owned. The original contract for this operation was awarded to EWA in
1989 and was renewed and extended through early January 1994. A ten year
USPS contract was awarded to EWA during 1993 with service beginning in
January 1994.

The Company has recognized approximately $108 million, $112 million and
$138 million of revenue in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, from
contracts to carry Express and Priority Mail for the U.S. Postal Service.

In 1995, Emery Ocean Services consolidated its services with those of CTS.
Capitalizing on its international growth and experience, Emery Ocean
Services, a global freight forwarder and non-vessel operating common
carrier, provides full and less-than-container load service. In
addition, EWW established a new subsidiary, Emery Expedite!, which
specializes in urgent, door-to-door delivery of shipments in North America
and overseas. Emery's logistics subsidiary, recently renamed Emery Global
Logistics, continues to expand its service capabilities. It now operates
warehouse and distribution centers for customers in five countries.

PAGE 9

Technology

Equally important to the movement of goods is the rapid movement of
information to track freight, optimize carrier selections, interlink and
analyze customer data. EWW plans to invest more than $70 million in
technology over the next two years to upgrade its entire hardware and
software systems architecture including the tracking system at its Hub in
Dayton, Ohio. The system is expected to provide instant tracking
information for shipments to reduce missorts, potential overloads and to
signal freight with specialized handling requirements.

Customers

EWW services, among others, the automotive, aviation, machinery, metals,
electronic and electrical equipment, chemical, apparel, film and technology
industries. Service industries and governmental entities also utilize EWW's
services. Both U.S. and international operations of EWW have a wide
variety of customers.

Competition

The heavy air-freight market within North America is highly competitive and
price sensitive. In 1995, EWW had the largest market share, based on
revenues, in the North American heavy air-freight segment. EWW competes
with other integrated air freight carriers as well as freight forwarders.

The North Atlantic market is especially price sensitive due to the abundant
airlift capacity. Competition in international markets is also service and
price sensitive. In these markets, which are more fragmented than the North
American market, EWW competes with international airlines and air freight
forwarders.

Customers favor companies such as EWW with combined integrated carrier and
freight forwarding capabilities for flexible, cost effective service. EWW
believes this infrastructure and the convenience of its extensive network
of worldwide terminal, agent and service locations are its principal
methods of competing for customers seeking the service described above.

Regulation of Air Transportation

The air transportation industry is subject to federal regulation by the
Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (Aviation Act) and regulations
issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT) pursuant to the Aviation
Act. EWW, as an air freight forwarder, and EWA, as an airline, are subject
to different regulations. Air freight forwarders are exempted from most DOT
economic regulations and they are not subject to Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) safety regulations, except security-related rules.
Airlines are subject to economic regulation by the DOT and maintenance,
operating and other safety-related regulation by the FAA. Thus, EWA and
other airlines conducting operations for EWW are subject to DOT and FAA
regulation while EWW, itself, is not covered by most DOT and FAA
regulations.

PAGE 10

Regulation of Ground Transportation

When EWW provides ground transportation of cargo having prior or subsequent
air movement, the ground transportation is exempt from the motor carrier
registration requirements and economic regulations which were inherited
from the ICC by FHWA and STB, respectively. Such ground transportation,
however, is subject to comprehensive trucking safety regulation by FHWA as
described in the CF MotorFreight section. In addition, EWW does hold FHWA
motor carrier registrations which can be utilized in providing non-exempt
ground transportation. For description of applicable state regulations,
refer to discussion in the CF MotorFreight section.

Environmental Matters

During recent years, operations at several airports have been subject to
restrictions or curfews on arrivals or departures during certain night-time
hours designed to reduce or eliminate noise for surrounding residential
areas. None of these restrictions have materially affected EWW's
operations. If such restrictions were to be imposed with respect to the
airports at which EWW's activities are centered and no alternative
airports were available to serve the affected areas, EWW's operations
could be more adversely affected. As provided in the Aviation Act, the
FAA is authorized to establish aircraft noise standards. Under the National
Emission Standards Act of 1967, as amended, the administrator of the
EPA is authorized to issue regulations setting forth standards for aircraft
emissions. EWW believes that its present fleet of owned, leased or
chartered aircraft is operating in compliance with currently applicable
noise and emission laws.

The Aviation Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 establishes a national aviation
noise policy. The FAA has promulgated regulations under this Act regarding
the phase-in requirements for compliance. This legislation and the related
regulations will require all of EWW's and EWA's owned and leased aircraft
eligible for operation in the contiguous United States to either undergo
modifications or otherwise comply with Stage 3 noise restrictions by year-
end 1999.

Fuel and Supplies Cost

EWW purchases substantially all of its jet fuel from major oil companies,
refiners and trading companies on annual contracts with prepayment and/or
volume discounts. These contract purchases are supplemented by spot
purchases. The price of domestic jet fuel declined in 1994 and 1993,
respectively, but increased slightly in 1995. The 1995 weighted average
domestic cost per gallon was approximately $.60 compared with 1994 and 1993
weighted average prices of approximately $.59 and $.64 per gallon,
respectively.

EWW believes that it has the flexibility to continue its operations without
material interruption unless there are significant curtailments of its jet
fuel supplies. Neither EWW nor the operators of the aircraft it charters
have experienced or anticipate any fuel supply problems. There is a four
million gallon fuel storage facility at the Hub.

PAGE 11

Employees

As of December 31, 1995, EWW had approximately 9,000 full-time and regular
part-time employees as compared to 8,000 at December 31, 1994 and 7,500 at
December 31, 1993. Approximately 17% of these employees are covered by
union contracts.


GENERAL

The research and development activities of the Company are not significant.

During 1995, 1994 and 1993 there was no single customer of the Company that
accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues.

The total number of employees is presented in the "Ten Year Financial
Summary" on pages 36 and 37 of the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and
is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has been designated a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) by
the EPA with respect to the disposal of hazardous substances at various
sites. The Company expects its share of the clean-up cost will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company. The Company expects the costs of
complying with existing and future federal, state and local environmental
regulations to continue to increase. On the other hand, it does not
anticipate that such cost increases will have a materially adverse effects
on the Company.

(d) Financial Information About Foreign
and Domestic Operations and Export Sales

Information as to revenues, operating income (loss) and identifiable assets
for each of the Company's business segments and for its foreign operations
for 1995, 1994 and 1993 is contained in Note 12 on page 33 and 34 of the
1995 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference.
