Werner Enterprises Celebrates National Truck Driver Appreciation Week
September 10 2021 - 1:50PM
Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation
and logistics provider, is thrilled to celebrate its professional
drivers during National Truck Driver Appreciation Week. As a
company that was started by a truck driver in 1956, appreciation
for drivers is deeply rooted in its culture. Werner values its
drivers by providing competitive pay, benefits and an environment
focused on safety and driver comfort. National Truck Driver
Appreciation Week is an excellent opportunity for everyone to give
professional drivers the praise, recognition and appreciation they
deserve for keeping America moving.
While the national recognition week starts on
Sunday, September 12, Werner kicked off its celebrations early on
Thursday, September 9, at its terminals in Fontana, California and
Phoenix, Arizona. Celebrations will be held at other select
terminals and dedicated sites across Werner’s vast network
throughout the week. Planned activities will accommodate social
distancing, such as providing drivers with complimentary
pre-packaged grab-and-go lunches and gifts.
“Our professional drivers are the heart of our
company, and we know they have a choice in who they work for,” said
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Derek Leathers. “At
Werner, we take pride in showing appreciation for our drivers every
day, and our respect extends out to all drivers within the
industry. Their service and dedication to moving America’s goods is
something we all rely on.”
Professional drivers are the heroes of our nation’s
roadways. Werner’s nearly 10,000 drivers travel approximately three
million miles each business day, and professional drivers move
seventy percent of all goods in the United States. If you see a
professional driver, we ask that you thank them for everything they
do for our country and our families. Without them, our nation
stops.
