A 65+ Year Journey

Our History

As a company built by one driver, one truck and one dream more than 65 years ago, Werner owes much of its success to hard work and the ‘American Dream.’ Our journey of a thousand miles began with founder C.L. Werner’s first trip in 1956 and resulted in continued growth as he built the company one truck at a time. Today, we are one of the largest truckload carriers in North America.
