On  August  25, 2008, the registrant issued a press release announcing  its
upcoming  participation  in  the Morgan Keegan 2008  Equity  Conference  in
Memphis,  Tennessee on Thursday, September 4, 2008, and  the  Wachovia  2nd
Annual  2008 Transportation and Packaging Conference in New York City,  New
York  on  Monday,  September  8, 2008.  A copy  of  the  press  release  is
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

A  live  audio webcast of each presentation will be publicly available,  on
its respective date, on the registrant's internet website:  www.werner.com,
under  the "Investor Information" link.  Replays of each webcast will  also
be   publicly   accessible  on  this  website.   Details   concerning   the
conferences, 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

This  current report on Form 8-K and the oral public statements made  by  a
representative  of  the registrant during the aforementioned  webcasts  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, 2007.  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 Securities and Exchange Commission,
through  the  issuance  of  press releases or by other  methods  of  public
disclosure.
