Werner® Named a TCA Elite Fleet for Second Consecutive Year

OMAHA, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Werner Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, is honored to be named a 2026 Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) Elite Fleet. This marks the second consecutive year Werner has received this prestigious designation, following its recognition in the program's inaugural year in 2025.

Developed in partnership with the University of Denver’s Transportation & Supply Chain Institute, the TCA Elite Fleet certification honors North American for-hire truckload carriers that demonstrate excellence in creating supportive, rewarding and driver-focused work environments. Werner is one of 57 carriers named to the 2026 class, recognized for prioritizing competitive compensation, strong safety cultures and innovative practices that enhance the quality of life behind the wheel.

“At Werner, our drivers are the heart of our operation and the driving force behind our success,” said Werner’s Chairman and CEO, Derek Leathers. “Earning the TCA Elite Fleet certification for the second year in a row is a powerful validation of our culture. It reinforces our commitment to providing a workplace where our drivers feel respected, supported and equipped with the industry’s best resources.”

The certification process involves a rigorous, data-driven evaluation of critical performance indicators, including safety, driver satisfaction, turnover, equipment quality and operational efficiency. To ensure transparency and credibility, the TCA utilizes independent surveys of company drivers and independent contractors to validate carrier submissions.

Werner and the other 2026 TCA Elite Fleets will be honored during a special awards luncheon on Monday, March 2, at the TCA’s Annual Convention at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida.
