  • Trucking Industry Uses Election Spending and Lobbying Expenditures to Weaken Truck Safety Rules Through Backdoor Riders on Transportation Spending Bills
    June 24, 2015 Trucking Industry Uses Election Spending and Lobbying Expenditures to Weaken Truck Safety Rules Through Backdoor Riders on Transportation Spending Bills Large truck crashes kill 4,000 thousand Americans every year, and injure nearly 100,000 more at an economic cost of $99 billion. With such a devastating toll of needless death and suffering, the United States urgently needs enhanced truck safety measures. But it’s not stronger truck safety that’s on the Congressional agenda. Shamefully, Congress is instead acting to weaken truck safety standards. If the trucking industry succeeds with its investment of $78 million in congressional lobbying and campaign money since 2012 as this report reveals, the public will be paying even more with their lives and their wallets. On June 9, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an appropriations rider that would roll back a series of truck safety rules; similar life-threatening provisions are now under consideration in the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, which will consider them at a committee markup Thursday, June 25. These measures are not being passed through the normal process. They are not being considered in the committees of jurisdiction; they are not being passed after or in response to committee investigation and oversight; they are not evidence-driven in any way. Instead, they are moving as policy riders – incorporated as extraneous matters into must-pass Transportation Department spending bills. There is only one way to understand this Congressional action: With their campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures, big freight companies have leveraged their financial power to win legislative objectives to increase their profits.

  • 2009 Annual Report
    The true character of a team is revealed by how it responds to challenge, and in 2009 the Con-way team responded with remarkable focus, strength and resilience as we navigated through the most severe economic downturn in our company’s history. The year saw proactive and decisive steps taken to reduce costs and conserve cash. At the same time, our team kept an eye on the horizon: investments were made to prudently maintain our fleets, new service offerings were developed, advancements were made in technology tools, and our networks became more efficient — all to position ourselves for the future. The economic reset had far- reaching effects in the freight and logistics markets. Our principal operating companies — Con-way Freight, Con-way Truckload and Menlo Worldwide Logistics — each responded with strategies to address the challenges while maintaining reliable, consistent service. Con-way Freight: The principal challenge for our less-than-truckload (LTL) company in 2009 was managing through a rapid, severe decline in business volumes driven by the recession. Pricing, already weakened in prior years by increased competition and industry capacity that grew beyond market demand, declined at an accelerated pace, which pressured margins. Con-way Freight responded with diligent cost management and an emphasis on performance improvement for customers, implementing programs to increase network density, velocity, ease of doing business and service reliability. Our LTL company also turned in a superior safety performance in 2009, achieving its lowest accident frequency rate since 2003 and its best-ever showing at the National Truck Driving Championships, in which 88 Con-way Freight state champion drivers competed, with veteran driver Dale Duncan capturing the 2009 Grand Champion title.

    FMCSA-RI-06-042 Motor Carrier Industry Profile: An Update 2004-2005 Prepared by: Thomas M. Corsi Michelle Smith Professor of Logistics Co-Director, Supply Chain Management Center Robert H. Smith School of Business University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 Prepared for: Analysis Division Office of Research and Analysis Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration August 2005 Introduction This report updates the Motor Carrier Industry Profile: 2001-20031 and Stock Market Performance of Publicly Traded Trucking Sector Stocks by Industry Segment, 2000-20042 to reflect more recent developments of particular significance to the industry and its various segments. The Motor Carrier Industry Profile: 2001-2003 relied heavily on Motor Carrier Annual Reports from over two thousand of the largest for-hire motor carriers for calendar years 2001, 2002, and 2003. However, there is a significant lag in the publication of annual report data. In fact, the 2004 calendar year data will not be available until late in 2005 or early in 2006. As a result, this report will fill in the gaps as best is possible without the benefit of the detailed annual report data. This report’s objective will be to identify trends and major events that have impacted the trucking industry during 2004 and 2005. It is based on available reports, trade journal articles, roundtable discussions, etc. The report will also update the stock market information included in Stock Market Performance of Publicly Traded Trucking Sector Stocks by Industry Segment, 2000-2004 to reflect stock market performance in the second half of 2004 and first half of 2005.
