have been prepared by the Company, without audit by independent
public accountants, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of
management, the consolidated financial statements include all
normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the
information required to be set forth therein.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these
statements pursuant to such rules and regulations and,
accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's 1994 Annual Report
to Shareholders.

     There have been no significant changes in the accounting
policies of the Company.  There were no significant changes in
the Company's commitments and contingencies as previously
described in the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders and related
annual report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form
10-K.

2.  On March 15, 1995, the Company's 6,900,000 depository shares,
each representing one-tenth of a share of Series C Conversion

Company's Common stock.

3.  On June 1, 1995, the Company issued $100 million of
unsecured, unsubordinated notes in a private placement.  The
notes bear interest at 7.35%, payable semiannually, and are due
June 1, 2005.  The proceeds of the private placement notes were
used to retire short-term debt, for capital expenditures and
other general corporate purposes.  In accordance with the terms
of the private placement, on June 27, 1995, the Company filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to register $100 million of unsecured, unsubordinated

lawsuits incidental to their businesses.  It is the opinion of
management that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not
have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.



        CONSOLIDATED FREIGHTWAYS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
         ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

The Company's second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995
revenues increased 24.6% and 21.0%, respectively, over the
comparable periods in 1994, with both period's revenues
representing record levels.  This increase reflects revenue
improvements at all three operating units, CF MotorFreight
(CFMF), Con-Way Transportation Services (Con-Way) and Emery
Worldwide (Emery).  Comparative results were affected by the 24-
day strike against CFMF and other national carriers in April
1994, the slowdown in domestic economic growth in the second
quarter of 1995 and extensive price discounting throughout the
freight transportation industry.

Operating income of $48.2 million for the second quarter 1995 was
a $30.2 million improvement over the $18.0 million of operating
income in the second quarter 1994.  Year-to-date 1995, operating
income increased 87.5% over the prior year. The 1994 second
quarter and six month operating income levels include the
operating losses incurred by CFMF due to the April 1994 strike.

Significant variations in segment revenues and operating income
are as follows:


CF MOTORFREIGHT

CFMF revenues for the second quarter and six months ending June
30, 1995, increased 51.2% and 30.1%, respectively, over the
comparable strike-affected periods in 1994.  Tonnage for April
and May 1995 is not directly comparable to the prior year due to
the April 1994 strike.  However, CFMF was able to increase LTL
tonnage in June 1995 by 11.2% over the same month in 1994 despite
a slowing U.S. economy in the second quarter of 1995.

CFMF reported operating income of $2.3 million for the second
quarter 1995 compared to an operating loss of $42.1 million in
the strike-impacted second quarter in 1994. Six month operating
income for 1995 was $12.5 million, a $50.7 million improvement
over the prior year.  The improvement reflects the absence of

                             PAGE 9


losses incurred during the 1994 strike, increased income from the
Canadian and non-carrier logistics operations and an improvement
in the LTL operations, despite a 3.3% contractual labor cost
increase which went into effect April 1, 1995.

In light of intensified competition in a slowing economy and the
impact of a labor cost increase, CFMF expects to continue to
initiate further changes to operations.  These changes include
increasing point-to-point loading in an effort to reduce freight
handling and transit times.  The slowing economy also contributed
to extensive price discounting, depressing rates to about 1990
levels.  To address yield deterioration, CFMF is seeking to
implement a rate increase of approximately 3.5% effective as of
August 1, 1995 for certain of its customers.  However, CFMF's
ability to sustain the rate increase may be impaired by the
continued rate discounting.


CON-WAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

Con-Way's second quarter 1995 revenues increased 5.2% over the
same period last year on LTL and total tonnage decreases of 5.9%
and 1.1%, respectively.  Six month revenues for 1995 were up
11.6% on total tonnage improvements of 2.9%, with LTL tonnage up
only marginally.  The quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994
include business obtained during the April 1994 strike against
CFMF and other unionized LTL carriers.

Operating income was down 23.2% for the second quarter and 1.0%
for the six month period compared to the same strike-benefited
periods in 1994.  This decline reflects costs associated with
Con-Way's expansion into the northwest United States including
western Canada, the New York Metropolitan area and New Jersey,
the merger of the southern and southwest regional carriers,
expansion of its intermodal truckload group, pressure on rates
and labor rate increases.

Con-Way management expects to begin realizing the long-term
benefits from its expansion into the new regions.  Management
will continue emphasizing cost control measures throughout the
organization and refinement of its services.


EMERY WORLDWIDE

Emery revenues for the second quarter 1995 increased 11.2% over
the same quarter last year while the six month revenue results
increased 15.9%.  Domestic business in the 1994 second quarter
and first half was favorably impacted by the strike against CFMF
and other unionized LTL carriers.  Emery's revenue improvement
for the 1995 second quarter was driven primarily by strong
tonnage gains in the international markets.  During the second
quarter 1995, commercial domestic revenue and tonnage were down
10.7% and 10.5%, respectively, while international revenue and

                             PAGE 10


tonnage increased 58.3% and 52.6%, respectively.  For the first
six months of 1995, domestic revenue and tonnage decreased 2.0%
and 1.0%, respectively, while international revenue and tonnage
increased 56.6% and 55.0%, respectively.

Operating income for the second quarter and year-to-date 1995
declined 24.4% and 9.7%, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1994.  Operating income declined despite revenue
increases as margins on increased international tonnage were
lower than margins on the lower domestic tonnage.  Emery's
margins on international freight are generally lower as Emery
primarily utilizes commercial lift internationally versus a
dedicated fleet for domestic volumes.  The 1994 operating income
also reflects the benefits of enhanced utilization of the
domestic dedicated system associated with the business gained
during the April 1994 strike.

Emery management is increasing its marketing efforts to gain
additional domestic business, in part to offset the decline in
the domestic automotive sector, while continuing the programs
that have been successful in the international arena.  Cost
controls are still at the forefront as Emery management seeks
further to improve operations and agent relationships in
international locations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1995 the Company had $99.7 million in cash and
cash equivalents.  Net cash flow from operations during the first
half of 1995 of $70.0 million was primarily the result of income
from operations, depreciation and amortization, after payments
for incentive compensation.  Capital expenditures were $162.5
million, an increase of $63.8 million over 1994, due primarily to
purchases of revenue equipment and real property by CFMF and Con-
Way.  The Company intends to finance the remaining capital
requirements for the year with cash from operations supplemented
by financing arrangements.

     The Company issued $100 million of notes in June 1995.  The
net proceeds were used to retire $71 million of short-term
borrowings under various bank facilities that were used to
finance a portion of the capital expenditures in the first six
months of 1995.  The remaining net proceeds of $27.9 million were
used for capital expenditures and for other general corporate
purposes.

     Also in June 1995, the Company filed a shelf registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering
$150 million of debt and equity securities for future issuance
with terms to be decided at time of issuance.  The $150 million
of securities includes $45 million of securities registered under
a prior registration statement and $105 million of newly
registered securities.  Proceeds will be used for general

                             PAGE 11


corporate purposes which may include repayment of indebtedness,
capital expenditures and working capital needs.

     At June 30, 1995, $117.8 million of letters of credit were
issued under the Company's $300 million unsecured credit
facility.  In addition,  $70.3 million of letters of credit were
issued and secured with Emery receivables under the $100 million
Emery receivables sale facility.

     Also at June 30, 1995, $40.4 million of letters of credit
were issued under several unsecured letter of credit facilities.


OTHER
