On May 11, 2017, the registrant issued a press release announcing
its upcoming participation in two investment conferences in May
and June 2017. A copy of the press release is furnished as
Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.

A live audio webcast and any related presentation materials for
each of the events will be publicly available on the respective
conference date on the registrants internet website:
www.werner.com, under the Investors link. Replays of the audio
webcasts and any related investor materials will also be
accessible by the public on such website for a limited period
following each 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 any
representative of the registrant during the conference
presentation and webcast 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 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 registrants 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
registrants Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016. 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 the registrant by filing reports with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission, through the issuance of press releases
or by other methods of public disclosure.
