Werner Enterprises is one of the largest truckload carriers in North America, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 1956, the company operates a fleet of roughly 8,000 trucks and 30,000 trailers, serving shippers across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Werner is publicly traded on NASDAQ (WERN) and serves a diversified customer base spanning retail, consumer products, manufacturing, and food and beverage.
Werner's transportation services include dedicated van, medium-to-long-haul, regional, and expedited truckload; temperature-controlled shipping; flatbed and over-dimensional freight; intermodal (truck-rail); and final-mile delivery for large or heavy items. The company is the largest truckload provider serving the U.S.–Mexico cross-border market. Werner also operates a logistics division that provides truckload brokerage, freight management, and international services including ocean and air freight forwarding and customs brokerage.
Shippers commonly use Werner for high-volume truckload needs — both dedicated fleet arrangements and one-way over-the-road capacity. The carrier is a frequent choice for retail and consumer goods shippers that need consistent, scalable capacity with coast-to-coast and cross-border reach, as well as companies shipping temperature-sensitive freight or requiring final-mile residential delivery.
