With revenues reaching $1 billion, Werner completed a 166,500-square-foot addition to its Omaha headquarters. This expansion would allow the Werner family of employees to enjoy drivers' lounges, a 5,000- square-foot computer center, a company store and cafeteria.
To tap into international market growth, Werner launched its Mexico operations in 2000. Having increased freight operations in
Canada as well, international business became a significant part of Werner's way of life. Also, in 2001 Werner Enterprises opened an international terminal in Laredo, Texas and continued plans for a bright future.
In 40 years, C.L. Werner's company went from one tractor to one of the country's largest carriers. With his family alongside, C.L. was able to achieve the kind of business success that eludes most people. He credits his success to the hard work he learned on the farm as a child.
C.L. celebrated his company's 50-year anniversary with his team of dedicated, customer-focused and hardworking professionals who respect the drive and motivation of one man's vision. It may have began with one man, but because of the team effort each and every Werner professional embodies everyday, Werner now systematically embraces one globe.
