Con-way Truckload moves freight from Vancouver to Veracruz and points in between. The company, formerly known as Contract Freighters, Inc.

A dry van truckload carrier, it does business throughout the US and Canada and provides service into Mexico through partnerships with local trucking companies. The former CFI was acquired in August 2007 by Con-way, a leading provider of trucking and logistics services.
