Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc., a subsidiary of CNF Inc, will become the first national motor carrier to participate corporate wide in the American Trucking Associations’ Highway Watch program.

Highway Watch is a national program that uses America’s transportation workers to help prevent terrorists from using large vehicles or hazardous cargoes as weapons and to protect America’s critical highway transportation infrastructure. The program is administered by ATA under an agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Con-Way has committed to putting Highway Watch training materials into the hands of more than 13,000 of their drivers and encouraging participation in the program. The curriculum teaches drivers how to observe and properly report suspected national security threats and highway safety incidents.
In March 2004, ATA entered into a $19.3 million cooperative agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to expand the Highway Watch program. With an additional $21 million earmarked for 2005, Highway Watch will provide instruction for hundreds of thousands of highway transportation professionals, including commercial truck and bus drivers, school bus drivers, state DOT workers and others. ATA will also administer a national Highway Watch Call Center and the Highway Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
Con-Way Transportation Services, Inc. is a $2.2 billion transportation and services company. Within the Con-Way family are regional less-than-truckload carriers Con-Way Central Express, Con-Way Southern Express, Con-Way Western Express, Con-Way Canada Express and Con-Way Mexico Express.
