Description: WERN Werner Enterprises November 13, 2025
Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ: WERN) is a U.S.-based, integrated truckload carrier that moves general commodities, consumer nondurables, and temperature-sensitive goods across the United States, Mexico, and international markets. Its service portfolio includes medium-to-long-haul dry-van trucks, an expedited “driver-team” fleet for time-critical shipments, regional short-haul vans, and a temperature-controlled segment, plus non-asset-based logistics such as brokerage, intermodal rail partnerships, and a final-mile delivery network that leverages third-party agents.
As of 12/31/2024 Werner operated 7,450 trucks (≈ 96 % company-owned) and 28,665 trailers, supported by a modest fleet of drayage and final-mile vehicles. Recent KPIs show FY 2024 revenue of roughly $5.1 billion, an operating ratio near 93 % (reflecting modest cost-control pressure from rising diesel prices), and a load-to-truck utilization rate of about 84 %. The company’s earnings are sensitive to macro drivers such as e-commerce freight volumes, the ongoing driver shortage, and fuel-price volatility, while its intermodal and final-mile services provide diversification against pure truckload rate cycles.
