Expert Statements

Derek Leathers, Chairman and CEO of Werner Enterprises

“Werner’s third-quarter results demonstrate strong top-line momentum, highlighted by a 28% increase in freight revenue and double-digit Truckload Transportation Services (“TTS”) revenue per truck growth. While rapidly rising fuel costs and elevated claims temporarily impacted near-term margins, our underlying strategy is working, driving a near-doubling of adjusted operating income. We made the deliberate decision to accelerate investments in driver recruiting and onboarding to capture rising customer demand and support fleet expansion as industry capacity tightens. We remain confident in our trajectory and our ability to capitalize on the early stages of this freight upcycle.”
