Werner® to Celebrate National Truck Driver Appreciation Week Across All Network Locations
Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, proudly joins the industry in celebrating National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, September 13–19, 2026. This year's celebration coincides with a major milestone for the company: 70 years in business. Founded in 1956 by a driver with just one truck, Werner’s driver-first legacy remains the foundation of its ongoing success.
“National Truck Driver Appreciation Week is a time to recognize the incredible men and women who keep our country moving,” said Werner’s Chairman and CEO, Derek Leathers. “Truck drivers take on one of the most critical and demanding jobs in our economy. Their dedication to safety, service and reliability inspires us every day, and we are proud to honor their contributions.”
This week and next, Werner will host Driver Appreciation Week events across its extensive operational network, bringing celebrations directly to team members across Werner, Baylor and FirstFleet locations nationwide. These events bring together drivers, maintenance technicians, office associates and customers to show gratitude and celebrate team achievements, with members of Werner’s executive leadership team attending in person to engage in direct Q&A sessions.
