Consolidated Freightways (CF), based in Washington State was the 3rd biggest trucking company in the US.[when?][citation needed] In the 1930s they started their own truck manufacturing operation, Freightliner, now part of Daimler AG. In 1989, Consolidated Freightways purchased Emery Worldwide[1]. In the late 1990s, the non-union, less-than-truckload part of the firm was split off to form CNF (later renamed Con-way), while the unionized truckload portion continued as Consolidated Freightways. CF filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, September 2, 2002 (Labor Day) and has ceased operations.
