ITEM  5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT   OF  CERTAIN  OFFICERS;  COMPENSATION  ARRANGEMENTS  OF  CERTAIN
OFFICERS.

On April 27, 2011,  Con-way  Inc.  issued  a  press  release  announcing that
Stephen  K.  Krull  has  joined Con-way as Executive Vice President,  General
Counsel and Secretary. He  replaces  Jennifer  W.  Pileggi, who has agreed to
remain with Con-way in the role of Executive Vice President  through  May 31,
2011.

Mr.  Krull,  age  46,  joins  Con-way  from Owens Corning, where he served as
Senior Vice President, General Counsel and  Secretary  since 2003. Over a 15-
year career with Owens-Corning, he advanced through a series  of increasingly
responsible  positions,  including  division counsel; general counsel,  North
American  Building  materials;  vice  president   and   general   counsel  of
operations;  and  vice  president,  corporate  communications. A graduate  of
Eastern Illinois University, Mr. Krull received  his law degree from Chicago-
Kent College of Law.

Mr. Krull's compensation includes the following:

* A one-time cash signing bonus of $150,000.

*  A one-time signing grant of (i) 24,700 shares of  restricted  stock  units
that will vest in full upon the third anniversary of the grant date, and (ii)
63,011 stock options with an exercise price of $37.45 that will vest in three
equal annual installments commencing April 25, 2012.

* An annualized base salary of $400,036.

* Eligibility  to  participate in Con-way's short-term incentive compensation
program  for  executives,   with   a  target  annual  incentive  compensation
opportunity equal to 70% of annual base salary (subject to a maximum equal to
140% of annual base salary). For 2011, Mr. Krull's award payout will be based
on the salary he earns during the approximately eight months of the year that
he  is employed by Con-way, and will  be  subject  to  a  minimum  payout  of
approximately $186,683 (70% of his estimated eight-month salary of $266,690).

* Eligibility  to  participate  in Con-way's long term incentive compensation
program for executives, starting in 2012, with a target long-term opportunity
to be set by the Compensation Committee  within  a  range of equal to 175% to
225% of annual base salary.

* Eligibility to participate in any perquisites program maintained for senior
executives.

* Use of a Company car.

*  An  executive  change-in-control  severance  agreement   providing  for  a
severance  payment  equal  to two times annual base salary and annual  target
bonus, plus other benefits, in the event of a change in control.

* Effective 90 days after joining Con-way, an executive non-change-in-control
severance agreement providing  for  a severance payment equal to one and one-
half times annual base salary and annual  target  bonus, plus other benefits,
in the event of an involuntary termination of employment.

* Group medical, dental, vision, life and disability benefits.

* 4 weeks of Paid Time Off.

Upon her departure from Con-way, Ms. Pileggi will receive  benefits under her
existing  non-change  in  control severance agreement and will  also  receive
early vesting of approximately 9,700 additional shares of restricted stock.

A copy of the press release  is  filed  with this report as Exhibit 99 and is
incorporated  herein by reference. The foregoing  description  of  the  press
release is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
