PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT DATED AUGUST 24, 1995 TO
PROSPECTUS DATED AUGUST 9, 1995
----------------------------------------------
CONSOLIDATED FREIGHTWAYS, INC.
This Supplement relates to the accompanying Prospectus dated August 9, 1995
(as supplemented hereby and as the same may be further amended or supplemented
from time to time, the "Prospectus") of Consolidated Freightways, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Capitalized terms used in this Supplement
and not defined have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Prospectus.
As stated in the Prospectus, each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for
its own account in exchange for Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer must
acknowledge that it acquired such Old Notes for its own account as the result of
market-making activities or other trading activities and must agree that it will
deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resale of such New Notes. As further stated in the
Prospectus, the Company has agreed that, subject to the provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Prospectus, as it may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, may be used by a Participating Broker-Dealer (as
defined below) in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for
Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, where such Old Notes were acquired by
such Participating Broker-Dealer for its own account as a result of market-
making activities or other trading activities, for a period of 90 days after the
Expiration Date (subject to extension under certain limited circumstances
described in the Prospectus) or, if earlier, when all such New Notes have been
disposed of by such Participating Broker-Dealer. However, pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is not required to provide copies of
the Prospectus to Participating Broker-Dealers for such purpose, or to maintain
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement following the Expiration Date,
unless the Company shall have been notified by such Participating Broker-Dealer
that it is a Participating Broker-Dealer. The term "Participating Broker-
Dealer" means a broker-dealer who acquired Old Notes for its own account as a
result of market-making activities or other trading activities. See "The
Exchange Offer--Resale of New Notes" in the Prospectus.
AS A RESULT, A PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER WHO INTENDS TO USE THE
PROSPECTUS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESALE OF NEW NOTES RECEIVED IN EXCHANGE FOR
OLD NOTES PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER MUST NOTIFY THE COMPANY, OR CAUSE THE
COMPANY TO BE NOTIFIED, ON OR PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE, THAT IT IS A
PARTICIPATING BROKER-DEALER. Such notice may be given in the space provided
for that purpose on page 2 of the Letter of Transmittal or may be delivered to
the Exchange Agent at the address set forth on page 26 of the Pospectus.
