In Summer, 2007 Con-Way completed the purchase of long-time Joplin, MO based CFI and began the integration of that fleet into their international operations.

Part of that process will be the conversion of all the on-road decorations to their familiar blue and white scheme. Thus passes an era that began for CFI in 1951 but, in commemoration of their rich history, Con-Way wanted to give special homage to the newest member of their family. For that purpose, Tonkin Replicas, Inc. was chosen to produce a very limited run of the most current CFI trucks and we are the exclusive source for these fine replicas. There will be a total of only 300 units made and these will be the last officially licensed replicas of any CFI trucks that will ever be made. Each model will be built with the many fine details found throughout the Precision Series.

Not long after this expansion,

CFI purchased its first 48-foot trailer.
