Description: WERN Werner Enterprises January 16, 2026
Werner Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: WERN) provides full-truckload transportation across the United States, Mexico, and international lanes, operating medium-to-long-haul dry-van, expedited, regional short-haul, and temperature-controlled fleets, plus non-asset-based logistics services such as brokerage, intermodal rail partnerships, and a final-mile delivery network.
As of 31 Dec 2024 the company owned 7,450 trucks (≈96 % company-operated) and 28,665 trailers, complemented by 18 drayage trucks and 134 final-mile units. In Q3 2024 Werner reported revenue of roughly $1.3 billion and an operating ratio of 96 %, reflecting modest improvement in cost efficiency despite a 5 % YoY increase in truckload volumes driven by e-commerce and retail restocking demand.
Key sector drivers include persistent freight-rate volatility linked to diesel price swings, a tight labor market that pressures capacity utilization, and the ongoing shift toward intermodal solutions for cost-effective long-haul moves. For a deeper dive into Werner’s valuation metrics and peer comparison, the ValueRay platform offers a concise, data-driven snapshot.
