Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics company, is proud to be a sponsor of the 11th annual
Military Bowl at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium on Monday, Dec.
31, at 12 p.m. ET. Werner’s Operation Freedom 13 driver, Quinton
Ward, will be recognized with a special on-field ceremony
celebrating his designation as the 2018 Transition Trucking:
Driving for Excellence Award winner.
“Werner appreciates our veterans, veteran
spouses and their families who continuously strengthen our
workforce,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Derek
Leathers. “It is a privilege to participate in the Military Bowl
and an honor to recognize the teamwork, dedication and
sportsmanship of college football.”
The Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence
Award is given to one winner each year selected among veterans,
guard members and reservists who successfully transition to the
trucking industry following military service. As the winner, Ward
received a fully-loaded Kenworth T-680, which Werner specially
wrapped with a military support theme as part of its Operation
Freedom fleet. Ward served his country in the United States Army
for five years before beginning his professional truck driving
career in 2017. Ward was promoted to Werner’s Operation Freedom
fleet in 2018 and is currently one of eight Operation Freedom
drivers; these veterans are selected based on their exceptional
performance.
The Military Bowl is a premier regional event
benefiting the United Service Organizations and other organizations
supporting members of the Armed Forces and their families. This
year’s game matches the Virginia Tech Hokies and the Cincinnati
Bearcats, and will be televised on ESPN.
