Trucking Sector Lower After Q2 Disappointment From Con-Way

Trucking stocks are mostly on the downside in late-morning trading on Thursday after Con-way Inc. (CNW) missed second quarter profit expectations.

The weakness in the trucking sector is reflected by the 1.4 percent loss currently being shown by the Dow Jones Trucking Index. With the loss, the index is falling from the nearly two year closing high set at the end of yesterday’s session.
