Werner Enterprises (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, is excited to announce it’s surpassed 2,000
professional drivers who have accomplished the elite safety
milestone of driving one million accident-free miles.
“This is one of our most important
accomplishments because the safety of our professional drivers and
the motoring public will always be our focus,” said Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer Derek Leathers. “Beginning
day one at Werner’s Welcome Experience for new onboarding drivers,
safety is woven into every aspect of what is discussed and is our
top core value. We wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for
all of our drivers’ commitment to safety.”
Werner prides itself on making sure its drivers
understand that they deliver not only freight but also safety.
Families travel on the same roadways as our drivers, and we want
everyone to return home safely. As Leathers says, “Nothing we do is
worth getting hurt or hurting others.”
As of August 2021, Werner has 291 drivers who
have accomplished two million accident-free miles, 41 drivers with
three million accident-free miles, nine with four million
accident-free miles and one driver with five million accident-free
miles.
To honor our professional drivers who reach this
incredible milestone of driving one million accident-free miles,
each driver receives various gifts, including a gold watch, a cash
bonus and gift certificate, aluminum mud flaps and their name on
the recognition wall at Werner Park and all Werner terminals.
