"The weak economy continues to affect all of our businesses, particularly North American operations at Menlo Worldwide Forwarding," said Gregory L. Quesnel, CNF president & CEO.

Quesnel said that demand for next day delivery of heavy freight shipments is very weak in North America, although Menlo Worldwide Forwarding has seen its deferred business increased significantly.
