On  August  19, 2009, the registrant issued a press release announcing  its
upcoming  participation  in the Second Annual Dahlman  Rose  &  Co.  Global
Transportation  Conference  in New York City, New  York  on  Wednesday  and

Industrial/Transportation  Conference in  Chicago,  Illinois  on  Thursday,
September  17, 2009.  A copy of the press release is furnished  as  Exhibit
99.1 to this Form 8-K.

A  live  audio  webcast  of each presentation and  the  investor  materials
provided  by  the  registrant at each conference will be available  to  the
public  on  the  respective  conference date on the  registrant's  internet
website:   www.werner.com,  under  the "Investor  Information"  link.   The
investor  materials and replays of the webcast presentations will  also  be
publicly  available  on  this website for a limited period  following  each
particular  conference date.  Details concerning the conferences,  investor
materials, webcasts 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 provided
by  and  the  oral  public  statements made  by  a  representative  of  the
registrant during the aforementioned conference presentations and  webcasts
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 and made pursuant to the
safe  harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act  of
1995, as amended.  Such forward-looking statements are based on information
presently available to the registrant's management and are current only  as
of  the date made.  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 and Quarterly Report on Form  10-Q  for  the
quarterly  period ended March 31, 2009.  For those reasons, undue  reliance
should  not  be  placed on any forward-looking statement.   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 or as may be required by applicable securities law.  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.
