Governing options awarded on December 17, 2004

This document constitutes part of a prospectus of CNF Inc. covering securities that have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

Except as otherwise stated in the Stock Option Agreement (the ‘Agreement’) to which these Terms and
Conditions are attached and form a part, and subject to the terms and conditions of the CNF Inc.
1997 Equity and Incentive Plan (the ‘Plan’), which Plan is incorporated herein by reference, the
following apply to the Option (as defined below). (Capitalized terms used herein without definition
shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan).

	1.  	The Company grants to Optionee (the person designated in the Agreement as the grantee
thereof) the right and option to purchase (the ‘Option’), on the terms and conditions of the
Agreement and as hereinafter set forth, shares of the presently authorized but unissued Common
Stock ($0.625 par value) of the Company (hereinafter called the ‘Stock’), or shares of
authorized and issued Stock reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury. The purchase
price of the Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Agreement but shall not
be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date (award
effective date) of the Option.
	 
	2.  	In consideration of the Option, Optionee agrees to remain as an active full-time employee of
the Company or of a Subsidiary or Affiliate at all times during the period beginning with the
date on which the Option was granted and ending on January 1, 2008 or at the time of
Retirement. whichever occurs first, and, except to the extent that the Option has theretofore
vested pursuant to Paragraph 3 below, if such employment is terminated within said period the
Option shall become null and void.

As used herein:

Retirement means retirement under the Company’s established retirement plan as in effect on the
date of Optionee’s termination of employment on or after age 65 (Normal Retirement Date) or after
attaining age 55 with combined age in whole or partial years (rounded to the nearest whole month)
plus years of service equal to at least 85 (the Rule of 85). As of the date hereof, the Company’s
retirement plan provides that an employee who at the time of his termination of employment is
eligible to receive benefits under a qualified defined benefit plan of the Company or a Subsidiary
or an Affiliate shall be deemed to have retired only if such employee elects within sixty (60) days
from his last day of employment to commence receiving monthly benefits under such plan. The Company
may, in its sole discretion, revise such plan at any time or from time to time.

	3.  	Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4, the period for exercising the Option (the
‘Option Period’) shall be the period, which will commence upon the vesting of the Option (as
specified below) and will end on the tenth anniversary of the date on which the Option was
granted (referred to herein as the ‘Terminal Date’ of the Option).
	 
	   	The Option will vest in three (3) equal installments on the first, second, and third
anniversaries of the first day of January following the date on which the Option was granted.
If the Option consists of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) and non-qualified stock options
(“NQSOs”), the ISOs and NQSOs will vest on a pro rata basis on such anniversaries.
	 
	   	In addition, any unvested portion of the Option will vest in its entirety upon the occurrence of
any of the following:

	 	(a)  	Optionee’s death;
	 
	 	(b)  	Optionee ceases to be an active full-time employee as a result of a Disability; or
	 
	 	(c)  	A ‘Change in Control’.

As used herein:

Disability means a substantial mental or physical disability, as determined by the Committee in its
sole discretion; and

 

 

	4.  	In the following circumstances, the Option Period specified in Paragraph 3 shall not apply,
and the Option shall be exercisable as set forth below:

	 	(a)  	If Optionee ceases to be an active full-time employee of the Company or of a Subsidiary
or an Affiliate during the Option Period (other than (i) for Cause (as defined below), (ii)
on account of Retirement, (iii) following a Change in Control applicable to Optionee or
(iv) as a result of Optionee’s death or Disability), the Option shall thereafter be
exercisable only to the extent vested at the time Optionee ceases to be so employed and
only prior to the end of the 3-month period commencing with such cessation of employment or
prior to the Terminal Date of the Option, whichever shall first occur.
	 
	 	   	If Optionee is absent from work with the Company or an affiliate because of his Disability
or if he is on leave of absence for the purpose of serving the government of the country in
which the principal place of employment of Optionee is located, either in a military or
civilian capacity, or for such other purpose or reason as the Committee may approve,
Optionee shall not be deemed during the period of any such absence, by virtue of such
absence alone, to have terminated his employment with the Company or a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate, except as the Committee may otherwise expressly provide.
	 
	 	(b)  	If the employment of Optionee is terminated for Cause, the Option (including any
portion of the Option that may have vested) shall terminate on the date of such termination
of employment and shall thereupon not be exercisable to any extent whatsoever. As used
herein, ‘Cause’ means (i) the failure or refusal by Optionee to perform, or neglect in the
performance of, his duties, functions or responsibilities, or (ii) Optionee’s commission of
such acts of dishonesty, fraud, misrepresentation or other acts of moral turpitude, or such
other acts or omissions of Optionee, as the Committee, in the exercise of its sole
discretion, considers to constitute Cause.
	 
	 	(c)  	If the Optionee ceases to be an active full-time employee on account of Retirement,
vesting shall continue under Paragraph 3 and the Option shall be exercisable until one year
after the final installment has vested, or on or prior to the Terminal Date of the Option,
whichever shall first occur.
	 
	 	(d)  	If Optionee ceases to be an active full-time employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate following a Change in Control applicable to Optionee, the Option may be
exercised by Optionee within the 3-year period beginning on the date of the Change in
Control, or on or prior to the Terminal Date of the Option, whichever shall first occur.
	 
	 	(e)  	If Optionee ceases to be an active full-time employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or
an Affiliate as a result of Optionee’s Disability, the Option may be exercised by Optionee
within the 3-year period beginning on the date Optionee ceases to be so employed, or on or
prior to the Terminal Date of the Option, whichever shall first occur.
	 
	 	(f)  	If Optionee should die (i) while in the employ of the Company or of a Subsidiary or
Affiliate, or (ii) within the 3-month period commencing with his termination of employment
with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (other than for Cause or as a
result of Optionee’s death or Disability), or (iii) within the 3-year period commencing his
cessation of active full-time employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates as a result of his Disability, or (iv) within the 1-year period commencing from
the final option vest date in the case of Retirement, the Option may be exercised by
Optionee’s executor or administrator, or by the person or persons to whom Optionee’s rights
under the Option shall pass by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution,
within one year from date of death of Optionee, or the Terminal Date of the Option,
whichever shall first occur.

	5.  	Optionee may exercise the Option, to the extent vested and with respect to all or part of the shares
of Stock then subject to such exercise, by giving the Company written notice of such
exercise, specifying the number of shares as to which the Option is so exercised and tendering
either (i) cash or a certified check, bank draft or postal or express money order payable to
the order of the Company for an amount in lawful money of the United States equal to the
Grant price of such shares, or (ii) properly endorsed or transferable shares of Stock with a
value equal to the Grant price of such shares, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii) above
having an aggregate value equal to the Grant price of such shares. In addition, Optionee may
effect a ‘cashless’ exercise of the Option by immediately selling a part of the Option shares
and using the proceeds therefrom to pay the Grant price of all of the Option Shares. For a
cashless exercise, Optionee shall be responsible for all brokerage commissions, transaction fees
and other charges of the

2

 

	   	executing broker. No partial exercise of the Option may be for less
than 100 shares unless fewer than 100 shares are outstanding under the Option, in which case the
Option may be exercised as to the total of such shares. In no event shall the Company be
required to issue fractional shares.
	 
	   	As soon as practicable after receipt of such notice, the Company shall, without transfer or
issue tax and (except for withholding tax arrangements contemplated by paragraph 14 hereof)
without other incidental expense to Optionee, deliver to Optionee at the office of the Company,
3240 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94304, or such other place as may be mutually
acceptable to the Company and Optionee, a certificate or certificates for such shares; provided,
however, that the time of such delivery may be postponed by the Company for such period as may
be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with applicable requirements under the
Federal securities acts, as amended, any applicable listing requirements of any national
securities exchange, and requirements under any other law or regulation applicable to the
issuance or transfer of such shares. If Optionee fails to pay for or accept delivery of all or
any part of the number of shares specified in the notice of exercise, his right to purchase such
undelivered shares may be terminated by the Company at its election.
	 
	6.  	In the event that the Committee shall determine that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, Stock or other property), recapitalization, Stock split, reverse
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, combination, repurchase or share
exchange, or other similar corporate transaction or event, affects the Stock such that an
adjustment is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of
Optionee hereunder, then the Committee shall make such equitable changes or adjustments as it
deems necessary or appropriate to any or both of (i) the number and kind of shares of Stock or
cash issued or issuable in respect of the Option or (ii) the exercise price or Grant price of
the Option.
	 
	7.  	The Option shall, during Optionee’s lifetime, be exercisable only by him or her, and neither
the Option nor any right hereunder shall be transferable by Optionee by operation of law or
otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a
qualified domestic relations order (‘QDRO’); provided, however, the Committee may, in its
discretion, (i) pursuant to rules adopted by the Committee, permit transfer(s) of all or part
of the Option in connection with Optionee’s estate planning, and (ii) permit transfers upon
divorce or marital dissolution other than pursuant to a QDRO. In the event of an attempt by
Optionee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or of
any right hereunder, except as provided for herein, or in the event of the levy of any
attachment, execution, or similar process upon the rights or interest hereby conferred, the
Company at its election may terminate the Option by notice to Optionee and the Option shall
thereupon become null and void.
	 
	8.  	The Committee may under such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate at any time
subsequent to the grant of the Option authorize the surrender by Optionee of up to 50% of the
unexercised Option and authorize a payment in consideration therefore at a cash amount equal
to the difference obtained by subtracting the Grant price from the Fair Market Value of the
Stock on the date of such surrender; provided, that the Committee determines that such
settlement is consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The Committee may also provide that
the cash payment shall not exceed a specified percentage of the aggregate exercise price of
the Stock subject to the Option. If Optionee is so authorized to surrender a percentage of the
unexercised Option he may do so only upon exercise of an identical percentage of the
unexercised Option. The Committee shall have the sole authority and discretion to consent to
or disapprove of the election of Optionee to receive cash in partial settlement of the Option.
	 
	9.  	Neither Optionee nor any person entitled to exercise Optionee’s Option in the event of his or
her death shall have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of stock
subject to the Option except to the extent that such person has properly exercised the Option.
	 
	10.  	Optionee agrees to promptly notify the Company of the sale of any ISOs that were initially
exercised and held in order for the Company to be able to comply with applicable federal and
state tax withholding laws.

3

 

	11.  	Any notice required to be given by Optionee under the terms of the Option shall be addressed
to the Company in care of its General Counsel at 3240 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California
94304, and any notice to be given to Optionee shall be addressed to him or her at his or her
last known address as shown on the Company’s records or such other address as either party
hereto may hereafter designate in writing to the other. Any such notice shall be deemed to
have been duly given when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope or wrapper addressed as
aforesaid, registered or certified and deposited (postage or registration or certification fee
prepaid) in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States.
	 
	12.  	All decisions of the Committee upon any question arising under the Plan or any Stock Option
Agreement shall be conclusive.
	 
	13.  	Nothing herein contained shall affect Optionee’s right to participate in and receive benefits
from and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance, or other
employment welfare plan or program of the Company.
	 
	14.  	Nothing in the Stock Option Agreement (including these Terms and Conditions) or any other
agreement entered into pursuant hereto (i) shall confer upon Optionee the right to continue in
the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate or to be entitled to any
remuneration or benefits not set forth herein or in any such other agreement or (ii) interfere
with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary or Affiliate to
terminate Optionee’s employment.
	 
	15.  	Optionee agrees, in connection with the Option, to make appropriate arrangements with the
Company or his employer for satisfaction of any applicable federal, state or local income tax
withholding requirements or social security requirements.
	 
	16.  	The Agreement and these Terms and Conditions shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of any successor or successors of the Company.
	 
	17.  	The interpretation, performance, and enforcement of the Stock Option Agreement and these
Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

Exhibit 10.77

CNF INC.

SUMMARY OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS FOR

2005

For 2005, CNF Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (each a “CNF Company”) have adopted short-term
incentive compensation plans that provide for annual incentive compensation to be paid to plan
participants if certain performance goals are met by the applicable CNF Company. This document
summarizes the general terms of those plans. The plans vary in terms of the performance measures
to be met, and the amount of compensation to be paid, but generally contain the terms as described
below.

THE PLANS

In order to motivate eligible employees to perform more effectively and efficiently, each CNF
Company has established a short-term incentive compensation plan (Plan), under which participants
are eligible to receive short-term incentive compensation payments based upon calendar year 2005
Incentive Performance Goals.

DESIGNATION OF PARTICIPANTS

Participation in each Plan is primarily limited to full-time non-contractual employees of the
applicable CNF Company. A master list of each Plan’s participants is maintained in the office of
the President of the applicable CNF Company.

ELIGIBILITY FOR PAYMENT

Participants generally commence participation in the Plans on January 1, 2005. Eligible employees
who are employed by a CNF Company after January 1 commence participation at the beginning of the
first full calendar quarter after joining the CNF Company. Calendar quarters begin January 1,
April 1, July 1, and October 1 or the

first working day thereafter. A participant who commences participation in the Plan during the
2005 Plan year, and who participates less than four full quarters, receives a pro rata payment
based on the number of full calendar quarters of Plan participation.

Subject to the following exceptions, no participant is eligible to receive any payment under a Plan
unless on the date the payment is actually made that person is then currently (i) employed by a CNF
Company and (ii) a Plan participant.

EXCEPTION 1. A Plan participant who is employed by a CNF Company through December 31, 2005, but
leaves that employment or otherwise becomes ineligible after December 31, 2005 but before
the final payment is made relating to 2005, unless terminated for cause, is entitled to
receive payments under the Plan.

 

 

EXCEPTION 2. An appropriate pro rata payment will be made (1) to a Plan participant who retires
prior to December 31, 2005 pursuant to the CNF Inc. Retirement Plan and who, at the time of
retirement, was a participant in the Plan, (2) to the heirs, legatees, administrators or
executors of a Plan participant who dies prior to December 31, 2005 and who, at the time of
death, was a participant in the Plan, (3) to a Plan participant who is placed on an approved
leave prior to December 31, 2005, or (4) to a Plan participant who is transferred to
another CNF Company and who remains an employee through December 31, 2005.

METHOD OF PAYMENT

Each Plan participant is assigned an incentive participation factor as a percent of
annual compensation. The incentive participation factor is indexed to specific performance goals
such as revenue, profit, etc.

Minimum and incentive factor performance goals are established separately for each Plan.
Participants are not entitled to any payments under the Plan until the minimum performance goal
is achieved. Incentive compensation for the assigned goals will be earned on a pro rata basis
for accomplishments between the minimum level and the incentive plan goals and may be earned at a different rate for performance over the incentive plan
goal.

The maximum payment that any Plan participant may receive is 200% of incentive compensation factor.
In addition, the aggregate amount of payments to all participants is limited to the amount of a
specified pool of funds.

DATE OF PAYMENT

The President of each CNF Company may authorize a partial payment of the estimated annual incentive
compensation earned under the Plan to be made in December 2005. The final payment to
participants, less any previous partial payment, is to be made on or before March 15, 2006.

INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE GOALS

Incentive Performance Goals are defined by each Plan but generally consist of profits equal to
earnings before deducting any amounts expensed for Loss and Damage, Workers Compensation, Company
and/or qualified subsidiary incentive plans, income taxes and for some plans interest income and
expense. Incentive Performance Goals may also include specific levels of revenue, profit, or other
measurable factors. The Compensation Committee of the CNF Board of Directors reserves the right to
define and determine whether an extraordinary item is to be included in the calculated profit
figure.

 

 

ANNUAL COMPENSATION

Annual Compensation for incentive purposes for each Plan participant is that participant’s
annualized salary before any incentive or other special compensation (including, but not limited
to, short and long term disability insurance plan payments) as of February 1st 2005 for
participants eligible as of the beginning of the year. For those qualifying in subsequent
quarters, the first pay period following the date the participant becomes eligible to participate
in this Plan will be used. The term “special compensation” used herein does not include deferred
salary arrangements wherein the participant could have chosen to receive the deferred salary in
the Plan year.

LAWS GOVERNING PAYMENTS

No payment shall be made under this Plan in an amount that is prohibited by law.

AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, AND ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

The Board of Directors of the CNF Company may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate the
operation of the Plans, by thirty-day written notice to the Plan participants, and has full
discretion as to the administration and interpretation of this Plan. No participant in this Plan
shall at any time have any right to receive any payment under this Plan until such time, if any, as
any payment is actually made.

DURATION OF PLANS

The Plans are for the calendar year 2005 only.
