Transportation  Conference in Boston, Massachusetts  on  Tuesday,  June  2,
2009.   A  copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1  to  this
Form 8-K.

The  investor  materials  and  a live audio  webcast  of  the  presentation
provided  at  the Wolfe Research conference will be publicly  available  on
such conference date on the registrant's internet website:  www.werner.com,
under the "Investor Information" link.  The investor materials provided  at
the  KeyBanc conference will be publicly available on this website  on  the
day  prior  to  such  conference  date.   Replays  of  the  Wolfe  Research
conference  webcast  and the investor materials from each  conference  will
also  be  publicly  accessible on the registrant's website  for  a  limited
period  following  each  respective  conference.   Details  concerning  the
conferences,  investor materials, webcast and replays are included  in  the
exhibit.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 to the Form 8-K, the information
under  this Item 7.01 and the press release exhibit to this Form 8-K  shall
not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act  of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to  the
liabilities of that Section 18, nor shall such information and  exhibit  be
deemed  incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange  Act  or
the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), unless  the
registrant  expressly states that such information and exhibit  are  to  be
considered  "filed" under the Exchange Act or incorporates such information
and  exhibit  by  specific reference in an Exchange Act or  Securities  Act
filing.

This current report on Form 8-K, as well as the investor materials and  the
oral  public  statements made by a representative of the registrant  during
the  aforementioned conference presentations and webcast announced in  this
Form  8-K  and  the  related  press release,  may  contain  forward-looking
statements  within  the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities  Act  and
Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  Such forward-looking statements are based
on  information currently available to the registrant's management and  are
current  only as of the date made.  For that reason, undue reliance  should
not  be placed on any such forward-looking statement.  Actual results could
also  differ materially from those anticipated as a result of a  number  of
factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed in the registrant's
Annual  Report  on  Form 10-K for the year ended December  31,  2008.   The
registrant  assumes no duty or obligation to update or revise any  forward-
looking  statement, although it may do so from time to time  as  management
believes is warranted.  Any such updates or revisions may be made by filing



reports  with  the  U.S.  Securities and Exchange Commission,  through  the
issuance of press releases or by other methods of public disclosure.
