           EXECUTIVE SPLIT-DOLLAR LIFE INSURANCE PLAN
                        2001 RESTATEMENT


     Consolidated Freightways Corporation ("Company") established
the Executive Split-Dollar Life Insurance Plan ("Plan"),
effective January 1, 1994, to provide life insurance for certain
of its executive employees during their employment and into their
retirement.  The Company adopts this 2001 Restatement to make
technical and clarifying changes and to put the Plan into a
document format similar to that of other employee benefit plans
of the Company.

                            ARTICLE 1
                  Effective Date; Qualification

     1.01 Effective Date; Plan Year

          1.01-1    The effective date of this Restatement is
     January 1, 2001.

          1.01-2    "Plan Year" means the fiscal year of the
     Plan, which shall be the  calendar year.

     1.02 Plan Status

     The Plan is intended to constitute a welfare benefit plan
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
amended ("ERISA") for the purpose of providing life insurance
benefits for a select group of executive employees.  The Plan
meets the requirements of Department of Labor regulations 29
C.F.R.  2520.104-24 and, as such, is exempt from ERISA's
reporting and disclosure requirements.

                            ARTICLE 2
              Application to Company and Affiliates

     2.01 Eligible Employers

          2.01-1    The Company sponsors the Plan and any
Affiliate approved by the Company may adopt the Plan for its
executive employees who are selected for eligibility.

          2.01-2    "Affiliate" means a corporation, person or
other entity that is one of the following:

               (a)  A member, with an Employer, of a controlled
          group under section 414(b) of the Internal Revenue
          Code, as amended (the "Code").

               (b)  A member, with an Employer, of a group of
          trades or businesses under common control under section
          414(c) of the Code.

               (c)  A member, with an Employer, of an affiliated
          service group under section 414(m) of the Code.

               (d)  A member, with an Employer, of a group of
          employers required to be aggregated under section
          414(o) of the Code.

          2.01-3    "Employer" means the Company and any adopting
Affiliate.  A list of  Employers appears in Appendix A.  The Plan
is a single plan maintained by multiple employers.

     2.02 Adoption Procedure

     An Affiliate may adopt the Plan by a statement in writing,
signed by the Affiliate and approved by the Company.  The
statement shall include the effective date of adoption and any
special provisions that are to be applicable only to employees of
the adopting Affiliate.

                            ARTICLE 3
                  Eligibility and Participation

     3.01 Eligibility

     An employee of an Employer shall be eligible to enroll in
the Plan for a Plan Year if the employee is selected to
participate prior to the beginning of the Plan Year by the Board
of Directors of the Company (the "Board") or by a committee of
the Board or an officer to which the Board has delegated
authority to make such selections.  Once selected, an employee
shall remain eligible until such selection is revoked by the
Board or by a committee of the Board or an officer that has such
delegated authority

     3.02 Enrollment; Agreement

          3.02-1    An employee who is selected under 3.01 may
enroll in the Plan by signing the Agreement and returning it to
the Administrator within any time limit prescribed by the
Administrator.  The employee shall furnish such information and
complete such forms relating to the employee's health and Plan
coverage as are requested by the Administrator from time to time.

          3.02-2    "Agreement"  means a written agreement
between the selected employee and the employee's Employer in a
form prescribed by the Administrator.  The Agreement shall state
the employee's election to participate in the Plan and agreement
to the terms and conditions on which benefits of the Plan are
provided.

          3.02-3    "Participant" means an eligible employee who
has enrolled in the Plan.   Participation shall begin on the
first day of the Plan Year and shall continue until 90 days after
an event described in 5.03-1.

                            ARTICLE 4
         Life Insurance Policy and Collateral Assignment

     4.01 Policy

          4.01-1    The Employer shall purchase on behalf of each
Participant a split-dollar life insurance policy (a "Policy")
from an insurer selected by the Company (the "Insurer").  The
face value of the Policy shall be no less than the amount of the
death benefit prescribed in 4.01-2 through 4.01-4 (the "Death
Benefit").

          4.01-2    In the first two Plan Years a Policy is in
force, the Death Benefit shall be equal to the Annual
Compensation of the Participant.  In the fifth and subsequent
Plan Years the Policy is in force the Death Benefit shall be
equal to two times the Annual Compensation of the Participant.
In the third and fourth Plan Years a Policy is in force the Death
Benefit shall be the following percentage of Annual Compensation
for each of such Plan Years, rounded to the nearest whole $1,000.

               Plan Year in Force            Percentage
                    Third                        133%
                    Fourth                       167%

The Death Benefit shall be adjusted on May 1 of each Plan Year to
reflect changes in Annual Compensation as of May 1 of that Plan
Year.

          4.01-3    "Annual Compensation" means the weekly salary
of the Participant on May 1 of the Plan Year, multiplied by 52.
Annual Compensation does not include any payments made under the
Employer's Incentive Compensation Plan or any other bonus plan of
the Employer.

          4.01-4    During the first four Plan Years a Policy is
in force, the Employer will coordinate the Death Benefit under
the Policy with the level of coverage provided under the
Company's Group Life Insurance Plan so that the Participant will
continually have a combined life insurance benefit equal to twice
the Annual Compensation of a Participant.  Such coordination will
be accomplished by offsetting the level of coverage of the
Company's Group Life Insurance Plan by the Death Benefit under
the Policy.

          4.01-5    Each Participant will be the owner of the
Policy purchased on the Participant's life.  As a result of such
ownership, the Participant may designate the Beneficiary to whom
the Death Benefit is payable.

     4.02 Premium Payments

          4.02-1    The Employer shall pay to the Insurer when
due the premiums required to keep each Policy purchased for its
Participants in force.

          4.02-2    By weekly payroll deduction, the Participant
shall reimburse the Employer for a portion of the premium paid on
the participant's Policy as follows:

               (a)  The amount of the reimbursement shall equal
          the value of the economic benefit attributable to the
          life insurance protection provided to the Participant
          under the Plan.

               (b)  The value of the economic benefit referred to
          in (a) shall be calculated by multiplying the Death
          Benefit times the rates described in (1) or (2) below,
          whichever produces the lower amount:

                    (1)  Until December 31, 2001, the Internal
               Revenue Service table P.S. 58 rates; or

                    (2)  The Insurer's published annual renewable
               term life insurance rates available for all
               standard risks.

               (c)  If the Participant is off the Employer's
          payroll system due to disability or an unpaid leave of
          absence, the Participant shall be required to continue
          reimbursement by payments to the Employer no less often
          than quarterly as a condition of continued
          participation in the Plan.  The level of coverage
          during such disability period or leave of absence shall
          be based on the Participant's last Annual Compensation
          rate prior to commencement of the disability or leave.

     4.03 Collateral Assignment

          4.03-1    To secure the rights of the Employer to
receive payment of the Accumulated Premiums under 5.03-2 and all
death proceeds in excess of the Death Benefit under 5.04, each
Participant shall assign the Participant's Policy to the Employer
as collateral using the Insurer's collateral assignment form
("Collateral Assignment").

          4.03-2    The Employer's rights under the Collateral
Assignment are that of a mere lienholder for the payments the
Employer is entitled to receive under 5.03-2 and 5.04 unless a
Participant does not take possession of the Policy under 5.03.
In that event, the Employer is entitled to keep the Policy in
force or to surrender it in exchange for its full cash value.

          4.03-3    While the Collateral Assignment is in effect,
the Company shall have the sole right to direct the investment of
policy cash value among the separate account funds offered under
the Policy.

                            ARTICLE 5
              Duration of Coverage; Death Proceeds

     5.01 Period of Employer Premiums

     If a Participant continues to be selected for participation
in the Plan and furnishes in a timely manner all information,
documentation, or forms required by the Administrator, the
Employer shall continue paying premiums on the Participant's
Policy until the end of the 15th Plan Year the Policy has been in
force or the Retirement of the Participant, whichever is later.

     5.02 Retirement

          5.02-1    "Retirement" means a termination of all
employment of the Participant with the Company and its Affiliates
at or after Early Retirement Date or Normal Retirement Date.
"Early Retirement Date" and "Normal Retirement Date" are defined
in the Consolidated Freightways Corporation Pension Plan.

          5.02-2    If the Employer continues to pay premiums
under 5.01 after a Retirement of the Participant, the
Participant's Death Benefit under the Policy shall be reduced to
one times Annual Compensation.  The reduced Death Benefit shall
be determined on the basis of the Participant's Annual
Compensation determined as of May 1 of the Plan Year of
Retirement.  The reduction shall take effect as of the January 1
following such Retirement and shall continue at that reduced
level for the remainder of the period described in 5.01.

     5.03 Possession of Policy

          5.03-1    A Participant shall have the right to take
possession of the Policy upon any of the following:

               (a)  Termination of employment with the Employer
          and its Affiliates before a Retirement.

               (b)  Ceasing to be selected for participation in
          the Plan.

               (c)  Reaching the end of the period for payment of
          premiums by the Employer under 5.01.

               (d)  Termination of the Plan under 6.02.

          5.03-2    For a period of 90 days after an event
described in 5.03-1, the Participant shall have the right to pay
the Employer the amount of its Accumulated Premiums.  If such
payment is made, the Participant shall take possession of the
Policy, which shall become the unrestricted property of the
Participant.  The Participant then may continue coverage by
paying all the premiums or may surrender it in exchange for any
remaining cash value.  If the Participant does not pay the
Employer the amount of its Accumulated Premiums, at the end of
such 90 days the Policy shall become the unrestricted property of
the Employer. At the Employer's request, the Participant shall
execute any document(s) required by the Insurer to transfer
ownership of the Policy to the Employer.  At any time thereafter
the Employer may surrender the Policy to the Insurer in exchange
for its cash value or exercise any other right of ownership of
the Policy.  If the Participant dies after the Policy has become
the unrestricted property of the Employer and while it remains in
force, all the proceeds payable upon such death shall belong to
the Employer.

          5.03-3    "Accumulated Premiums"  means the total
amount paid by the Employer as premiums on the Policy and not
reimbursed by the Participant under 4.02-2, without any
adjustment for earnings or time value.

          5.04 Death Benefit Under Policy

     Upon the death of a Participant while the Policy is in
force, the amount of the Death Benefit shall be paid to the
Beneficiary.  All death proceeds in excess of the Death Benefit
shall be paid to the Employer.

                            ARTICLE 6
                     Amendment; Termination

instrument.  Notice shall be given to each Participant of any
amendment affecting the Participant's benefits under the Plan.

     6.02 Termination

     The Company may terminate the Plan as to all Participants at
any time.  Notice of the termination shall be given to the
Participants at least 30 days before the effective date of the
termination. Upon termination, each Participant shall have the
right to take possession of the Participant's Policy as provided
in 5.03-2.

three.  Until a new appointment is made, the remaining members of
the Committee may act although less than a quorum.

          7.01-3    The Insurer shall be given the names and
specimen signatures of the Committee members, the chair and the

     7.03 Claims Procedure

          7.03-1    Any person claiming a benefit, requesting an
interpretation or ruling under the Plan or requesting information
under the Plan shall present the request in writing to the
Administrator, who shall respond in writing as soon as
practicable.

          7.03-2    If the claim or request is denied, the
written notice of denial shall state:

               (a)  The reasons for denial, with specific
          reference to the plan provisions on which the denial is
          based.

               (b)  A description of any additional material or
          information required and an explanation of why it is
          necessary.

               (c)  An explanation of the Plan's claim review
          procedure.

          7.03-3    The notice of denial normally will be given
within 90 days after the claim or request is received by the
Administrator.  If special circumstances require an extension of
time for processing the claim or request, the Administrator may
extend the time up to an additional 90 days and shall give notice
of the extension to the claimant.

          7.03-4    Any person whose claim or request is denied
or who has not received a response within the time provided in
7.03-3 may request review by notice given in writing to the
Administrator.  A request for review is required to be submitted
within 60 days after the date the notice of denial is given
unless the Committee waives such requirement.  The claim or
request shall be reviewed by the Administrator, who may, but
shall not be required to, have the claimant appear in person.  On
review, the claimant may have representation, examine pertinent
documents and submit issues and comments in writing.

          7.03-5    The decision on review shall normally be made
within 60 days.  If an extension is required for a hearing or
other special circumstances, the claimant shall be so notified
and the time limit shall be 120 days.  The decision shall be in
writing and shall state the reasons and the relevant plan
provisions.  All decisions on review shall be final and bind all
parties concerned.

clarify the Plan.

          7.04-4    The Board of Directors of the Company or of

or function.  Membership on the Board shall not make a person a
plan fiduciary.

for services.  The Administrator shall be reimbursed for all
expenses.

               (b)  Coverage shall be reduced to the extent of
          any insurance proceeds.
