Consolidated Freight, based in Vancouver, Washington[1], was the 3rd biggest trucking company in the US. In the 1930s they started their own truck manufacturing operation, Freightliner, now part of Daimler AG. In 1989, Freightways purchased Emery Worldwide[2]. In the late 1990s, the non-union, less-than-truckload part of the firm was split off to form CNF (later renamed Con-way), while the unionized truckload portion continued as Consolidated Freightways. CF filed for Chapter 11 bannkruptcy in 2002 and has ceased operations.
