Idaho Trucking Association Honors Con-way Freight for Safe Driving Record
Company Recognized for Outstanding Achievement in Highway Safety
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - September 01, 2009
Con-way Freight, a less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carrier and subsidiary of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), today announced that it was recently honored by the Idaho Trucking Association (ITA) for its exemplary safety record and safe driving practices. Con-way Freight received an award for Outstanding Achievement in Highway Safety in the 1-3 million miles division. The awards were presented earlier this month at ITA’s Annual Safety Awards Breakfast at The Grove Hotel in Boise.
“We are very proud of the companies who received certificates or plaques at this year’s Safety Awards Breakfast,” said Kathy Fowers, president, Idaho Trucking Association. “These companies are doing what is necessary to train their drivers to be professionals and make safety their number one concern.”
Winners are selected based on several factors, including miles driven in Idaho, types of driving, number of accidents and other safety indicators. The awards are sponsored by the Great West Casualty Company, one of the largest insurers of trucking companies in the United States.
“Our drivers are dedicated to safety, and we are pleased to see them receive recognition from the ITA for their driving records,” said John G. Labrie, president, Con-way Freight. “This award really highlights our driver sales representatives’ commitment to maintaining safe driving practices.”
Based in Boise, the mission of the Idaho Trucking Association is to advance the interests of motor carriers, and to promote and preserve the inherent advantages of highway transportation. ITA also seeks to foster economic activity and growth within the industry by guarding against unreasonable legislation and regulations, and working with state and national associations, legislatures and regulatory agencies to promote uniform regulations governing the transportation industry.
