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

GENERAL

The Company's first quarter revenues increased 2% from the same quarter in
the prior year with growth at Con-Way Transportation Services (CTS) and
Emery Worldwide partially offset by lower revenues at CF MotorFreight
(CFMF). Revenues at CFMF remain depressed following the fourth quarter,
1995 implementation of changes to its freight flow system that disrupted
operations. CTS continued to benefit from its regional expansion while
Emery benefited from growth in both its domestic and international
operations.  All three business units were affected by the harsh winter
storms.

Operating income declined 79.5% from the same quarter last year as a result
of continued operating losses at CFMF and lower operating income at CTS and
Emery. Increases in diesel and jet fuel prices adversely impacted operating
results at all three units.  CFMF operating results were also adversely
affected by lowered productivity and under-utilization of capacity
following the implementation of changes to its freight flow system
described below.

                              PAGE 8

Other expense, net increased from the first quarter of 1995 due to
increased interest expense from the $100 million 10-year notes issued in
June 1995 and increased short-term bank borrowings.

Preferred stock dividends decreased as a result of the conversion of Series
C preferred stock to common stock in March of last year.

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

CF MOTORFREIGHT

CFMF first quarter revenues were down 5.8% from the comparable quarter in
1995 on a total tonnage decline of 9.6%. Less-than-truckload (LTL) tonnage
declined 8.7%.  Partially mitigating the impact of the tonnage decline was
an increase in revenues from the operations of Menlo Logistics, which are
combined with CFMF for reporting purposes, and a partial retention of the
January 1, 1996 rate increase. Business levels at CFMF were adversely
affected by the October 1995 implementation of a freight flow improvement
plan called the Business Accelerator System (BAS).  Implementation of BAS
disrupted freight service, resulting in customers withholding business from
CFMF.  During 1996 CFMF's average transit time improved nearly a full day
from that prior to the implementation of BAS. The Company believes that
this improved service has contributed to a gradual increase in business
levels throughout the first quarter.

The operating loss for the quarter of $21.2 million represents a $31.3
million decline from the $10.1 million operating profit in the prior year
quarter. The operating loss is attributable to lower than expected system
utilization and productivity. The winter storms and increased fuel prices
also contributed to the operating loss.  Management believes that its
efforts to restore business levels and system productivity contributed to
reduced operating losses each month of this quarter. Included in CFMF
quarterly operating results are the combined operating income of its
Canadian subsidiaries and Menlo Logistics of $3.6 million and $3.2 million
for first quarter 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The implementation of BAS has improved on-time performance and reduced
average transit times. Management efforts to increase productivity in dock
and city pickup and delivery operations have yielded improvements.
However, in the short-term, management expects to continue to incur
additional losses as system utilization remains below expected levels and
due to an approximate 3.5% contractual wage and benefit increase, effective
April 1, 1996.  Accordingly, management efforts are focused on
regaining customer confidence and restoring business levels lost during
the implementation of BAS.

CON-WAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

CTS first quarter revenues increased 9.8% on a total tonnage increase of
4.5% from the comparable period in 1995. LTL tonnage increased 6.3% from
the first quarter of 1995. The revenue increase reflects the benefits of
CTS's geographic expansion and growth of its inter-regional business. CTS
was adversely affected by the winter storms and floods and the discounting
by competitors in the regional and inter-regional LTL markets.


                              PAGE 9

Operating income declined 29.3% compared with the first quarter of 1995 due
to  higher fuel prices and costs associated with winter storms.  Also
adversely affecting the first quarter of 1996 was under-utilization of
system capacity in new geographic regions and in inter-regional business.

Management will seek to improve operating margins by directing efforts
toward replacing unprofitable business with business that earns a higher
yield and improving system utilization in new markets with aggressive
marketing programs emphasizing a full complement of service offerings.
However, discounting is expected to continue industry wide into the
foreseeable future.

EMERY WORLDWIDE

Emery's first quarter revenues increased 8.2% over the comparable period
last year. Domestic revenues increased 6.7% on a tonnage gain of 10.4%
despite the strike at General Motors, a major Emery customer. International
revenues increased 9.5% on tonnage growth of 11.9% indicating softness in
the international market compared to the first quarter of 1995 when tonnage
increased 37.2%. The largest deteriorations in international revenues were
from imports into the US from Japan and Southeast Asia and in inter-
European business.

Operating income was down 12% due to declining rates of nearly 3% from the
same quarter last year. Higher fuel charges and costs associated with the
winter storms also lowered operating income. The elimination of excise
taxes in the first quarter of 1996 essentially offset the costs of the
harsh weather.

Emery's management is focused on expanding its share of the export freight
markets and on expanding market share in international and domestic
markets, with a broad assortment of service offerings. Furthermore,
management will seek to improve yields on low margin and unprofitable
business and reduce costs, system wide.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1996, the Company had $110.9 million in cash and cash
equivalents. Net cash flow from operations during the first three months of
1996 of $59.0 million was primarily the result of depreciation and
amortization and a reduction in customer receivables. Capital expenditures
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were $68.1 million, an increase
of $11.6 million over the same period in 1995. Debt repayment and preferred
dividend requirements during the quarter were $5.3 million.  The Company
borrowed $40 million under various bank lines to finance its obligations.
The Company intends to fund the remaining capital expenditure requirements
for the year with cash from operations supplemented by financing
arrangements.

At March 31, 1996, $116.7 million of letters of credit were outstanding
under the Company's $300 million unsecured credit facility.  In addition,
$78.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding  and secured with Emery
receivables under the $100 million Emery receivables sale facility. Also at
March 31, 1996, $40.4 million of letters of credit were outstanding under
several unsecured letter of credit facilities. Under the above facilities


                                PAGE 10

and other offered lines of credit, the Company has $180 million available for
additional borrowings and letter of credit needs.

OTHER

The Company's operations necessitate the storage of fuel in underground
tanks as well as the disposal of substances regulated by various federal
and state laws. The Company adheres to a stringent site-by-site tank
testing and maintenance program performed by qualified independent parties
to protect the environment and comply with regulations.  Where clean-up is
necessary, the Company takes appropriate action.

Certain statements included herein constitute forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties.  In
that regard, the following factors, among others, could cause actual
results and other matters to differ materially from those in such
statements: changes in general business and economic conditions; increasing
domestic and international competition and pricing pressure; changes in
fuel prices; uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to improve results
of operations through, among other things, implementation of BAS at CFMF;
labor matters, including changes in labor costs, renegotiation of labor
contracts and the risk of work stoppages or strikes; changes in
governmental regulation; and environmental and tax matters.  As a result of
the foregoing, no assurance can be given as to future results of operations
or financial condition.

                     EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN FOR 1996



   THE PLAN

   In order to motivate certain of its employees more effectively and
efficiently, Consolidated Freightways, Inc. (CF, Inc.) establishes an
Incentive Plan (Plan) under which payments will be made to eligible

but before the final payment is made relating to 1996, unless
terminated for cause, shall be entitled to receive payments under
this Plan resulting from 1996 Incentive Profits.

     EXCEPTION 2. An appropriate pro rata payment will be made (1) to
a Plan participant who retires prior to December 31, 1996 pursuant to

   Incentive compensation for the assigned goals will be earned on a
pro rata basis for accomplishments between the Minimum level and the
Incentive Factor Goals and will continue to be earned ratably for
performance over the Incentive Factor Goals.

   No incentive will be earned by a participant until the respective
Minimum Profit Goals are achieved. Incentive earned from the
achievement of Performance Goals other than profit will be restricted
to the extent that post ICP profit cannot fall below the Minimum
Profit Goal. There is a maximum percent of accomplishment for any
performance goal of 200%.

   A "Personal Data Sheet" for calculation of incentive earnings will
be prepared for each Plan participant which designates (1) the unit
to which the participant is assigned, (2) his assigned incentive
participation factor, (3) the minimum level of achievement required

for each assigned goal, and (5) the incentive earnings at the
incentive factor level for each assigned goal.


   DATE OF PAYMENT

   The Chief Executive Officer of CF, Inc. may authorize a partial
payment of the estimated annual earned incentive, in December, 1996.
The final payment to eligible participants, less any previous partial
payment, will be made on or before March 15, 1997.

   Incentive Profit is defined as earnings before deducting any
amounts expensed under any CF, Inc. and qualified LJSC incentive
plans and before deducting income taxes.



  ANNUAL COMPENSATION

   Annual Compensation for incentive purposes for each Plan
participant is his annualized salary before any incentive or other
special compensation as of the first pay period following the date
the  participant becomes eligible to participate in this Plan. The
term "special compensation" used herein does not include deferred
salary arrangements wherein the participant could have chosen to
receive the  deferred salary in the Plan year.


   MAXIMUM PAYMENT

   Payments under this Plan are limited to double each participant's
Participation Factor.


  LAWS GOVERNING PAYMENTS

                    EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN FOR 1996



   THE PLAN

   In order to motivate certain employees of CF MotorFreight (CFMF)
more effectively and efficiently, Consolidated Freightways
Corporation of Delaware (CFCD) establishes an Incentive Plan (Plan)
under which payments will be made to designated eligible executive
personnel out of calendar year CFMF 1996 Incentive Profits.


   DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS

   Participants in this Plan shall be designated full-time executive
personnel of CFMF.  A master list of all Plan participants will be
maintained in the office of the President of CFCD.


   ELIGIBILITY FOR PAYMENT

   Participants will commence participation at the beginning of the
first full calendar quarter following becoming eligible. Calendar
quarters begin January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 or the first
working day thereafter. An employee who commences participation in
the 1996 Plan during the 1996 Plan year, and who participates less
than four full quarters, will receive a pro rata payment based on the
number of full calendar quarters of Plan participation.

   Subject to the following exceptions, no person shall receive any
payment under this Plan unless on the date that the payment is
actually made that person is then currently (i) employed by CFCD or
any of its subsidiaries and (ii) a Plan participant.

     EXCEPTION 1. A Plan participant who is employed by CFCD through
December 31, 1996 but leaves that employment or otherwise becomes
ineligible after December 31, 1996 but before the final payment is
made relating to 1996, unless terminated for cause, shall be entitled
to receive payments under this Plan resulting from 1996 Incentive
Profits.

     EXCEPTION 2. An appropriate pro rata payment will be made (1) to
a Plan participant who retires prior to December 31, 1996 pursuant to
the Consolidated Freightways, Inc. Retirement Plan or to the
provisions of the Social Security Act and who, at the time of
retirement, was an eligible participant in this Plan, (2) to the
heirs, legatees, administrators or executors of a Plan participant
who dies prior to December 31, 1996 and who, at the time of death,
was an eligible participant in this Plan, (3) to an eligible Plan
participant who is placed on an approved Medical, Sabbatical, or
Military Leave of Absence prior to December 31, 1996, or (4) to an
eligible Plan participant who is transferred to another subsidiary of
CF, Inc. and who remains an employee through December 31, 1996.


   METHOD OF PAYMENT

   Each Plan participant will be assigned an incentive participation
factor as a percent of annual compensation. Each Plan participant
will also be assigned to a CFMF operating unit (service center,
division, total company, etc.) to earn incentive. The participation
factor may be further indexed to specific performance goals such as
revenue, profit, service, etc.

   Incentive for assigned goals will be earned on a pro rata basis
for accomplishment between the Minimum Level and the Incentive Factor
Goal.  Once incentive earnings exceed the Incentive Factor Goal,
incentive compensation will be earned ratably at 50% of the previous
level.

   No incentive will be earned by a participant until CFMF has
achieved its Minimum Profit Goal.  Actual incentive payout is subject
to the ICP pool. Incentive Compensation will be adjusted
proportionately to the amount in the ICP pool.


   PERSONAL DATA SHEET

   A "Personal Data Sheet" for calculation of incentive earnings will
be prepared for each Plan participant which designates (1) the unit
to which the participant is assigned, (2) his profit sharing
percentage, (3) the minimum level of achievement required for each
assigned goal, (4) the incentive factor level of achievement for each
assigned goal, and (5) the incentive earnings at the incentive factor
level for each assigned goal.


   DATE OF PAYMENT

   The President of CFCD may authorize a partial payment of the
estimated annual earned incentive, in December, 1996.  The final
payment to eligible participants, less any previous partial payment,
will be made on or before March 15, 1997.

MotorFreight before deducting any amounts expensed under this or any
similar incentive or bonus plan, before deducting interest expense

participant is his annualized salary or hourly base pay before any
incentive, overtime, or other special compensation as of the first
pay period following the date the participant becomes eligible to
participate in this Plan.

   Payments under this Plan are limited to double each participant's
participation factor.

                            EMERY WORLDWIDE
                         INCENTIVE PLAN FOR 1996



   THE PLAN

   In order to  motivate certain employees  more effectively  and
efficiently, Emery Worldwide (EWW) establishes an Incentive Plan
(Plan) under which payments will be made to designated participants
out of calendar year 1996 Incentive Profits.


   DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS

   Participants in the Plan shall be all supervisory, managerial, and
regular full-time and part-time non-contractual (time-sheet)
personnel of EWW. A master list of Plan participants will be
maintained in the office of the President of EWW.


   ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION

   Participants will commence participation at the beginning of the
first full calendar quarter following becoming eligible. Calendar
quarters begin January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 or the first
working day thereafter. An employee who commences participation in
the 1996 Plan during the 1996 Plan year, and who participates less
than four full quarters, will receive a pro rata payment based on the
number of full calendar quarters of Plan participation.

   Subject to the following exceptions, no person shall receive any
payment under this Plan unless on the date that the payment is
actually made that person is then currently (i) employed by EWW or
any of its subsidiaries and (ii) a Plan participant.

     EXCEPTION 1. A Plan participant who is employed by EWW through
December 31, 1996 but leaves that employment or otherwise becomes
ineligible after December 31, 1996 but before the final payment is
made relating to 1996, unless terminated for cause, is entitled to
receive payments under this Plan resulting from 1996 Incentive
Profits.

     EXCEPTION 2. An appropriate pro rata payment will be made (1) to
a Plan participant who retires prior to December 31, 1996 pursuant to
the Consolidated Freightways, Inc. Retirement Plan,  The Purolator
Courier Corporation Hourly Employee Pension Plan or to the provisions
of the Social Security Act and who, at the time of retirement, was an
eligible participant in this Plan, (ii) to the heirs, legatees,
administrators or executors of a Plan participant who dies prior to
December 31, 1996 and who, at the time of death, was an eligible
participant in this Plan, (iii) to an eligible

     Plan participant who is placed on approved Medical, Sabbatical,
or Military Leave of Absence prior to December 31, 1996, or (iv) to
an eligible Plan participant who is transferred to another
subsidiary of Consolidated Freightways, Inc. and who remains an
employee through December 31, 1996.


   METHOD OF PAYMENT

   Each Plan participant will be assigned an incentive participation
factor as a percent of annual compensation. The President of Emery
will assign each Plan participant to an operating unit (service
center, division, total company, etc.) to earn incentive.  The
participation factor may be further indexed to specific performance
goals such as revenue, profit, service, etc.

   Incentive compensation will be paid from an ICP pool earned
ratably between the Minimum and Incentive Factor Profit Goals and
will continue to be earned ratably over the Incentive Factor Goal.
Incentive Factor Plan Goals and minimum levels of accomplishment will
be established for all performance goals.

   No incentive will be earned by a participant until the system
Minimum Profit Goal is achieved.  Actual incentive payout is subject
to the ICP pool. Incentive Compensation will be adjusted
proportionately to the amount in the ICP pool, thus actual system
incentive payout for all goals other than Accounts Receivable can
never surpass the percent of accomplishment for system profit.
Company profit contributions will be paid first and other
participation factors thereafter.

Incentive earned from the achievement of the Accounts Receivable
Performance Goal will be restricted to the extent that post ICP
earnings cannot fall below the Minimum Profit Goal.  There is a
maximum percent of accomplishment for any performance goal of 200%.


   PERSONAL DATA SHEET

   A "Personal Data Sheet" for calculation of incentive earnings will
be prepared for each Plan participant which designates (1) the unit
to which the participant is assigned, (2) his assigned incentive
participation factor and the allocation of that factor to specific
Performance Goals, (3) the minimum level of achievement required for
each assigned goal, (4) the incentive factor level of achievement for
each assigned goal, and (5) the incentive earnings at the incentive
factor level for each assigned goal.







   DATE OF PAYMENT

   The President of EWW may authorize a partial payment of the
estimated annual earned incentive, in December 1996.  The final
payment to eligible participants, less any previous partial payment,
will be made on or before March 15, 1997.


   INCENTIVE PROFIT

   Incentive Profit is defined as the earnings of Emery Worldwide,
Emery Custom Brokers, Emery Ocean Services, Emery Global Logistics,
Emery Expedite and Emery Worldwide Airlines before deducting any
amounts expensed under this or any similar incentive or bonus plan
and before  deducting income taxes and excluding interest income and
expense.


   ANNUAL COMPENSATION

participant is his annual earnings for 1996 before any incentive or
bonus payments earned during the period of Plan participation
eligibility.

   Payments under this plan are limited to double each participant's
Participation Factor.


   LAWS GOVERNING PAYMENTS

   No payment shall be made under this Plan in an amount which is
prohibited by law.


   AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, AND ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

   The Board of Directors of EWW may at any time amend, suspend, or
terminate the operation of this Plan, by thirty-day written notice to
