                                  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.

                               PAGE 8

   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

We  have  audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the consolidated financial statements included in Consolidated Freightways,
Inc.'s 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders incorporated by reference in this
