ITEM 7.01.      REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

On  October 30, 2008, the registrant issued a press release announcing  its
upcoming  participation  in  the  2008  Goldman  Sachs  Global  Industrials
Conference in New York City, New York on Wednesday, November 5,  2008;  the
Baird Industrial Conference in Chicago, Illinois on Wednesday, November 12,
2008;  and  the Stephens Inc. Fall Investment Conference in New York  City,
New  York on Wednesday, November 19, 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 and investor materials provided
at  each conference will be publicly available, on its respective date,  on
the  registrant's  internet website:  www.werner.com, under  the  "Investor
Information" link.  The investor materials and replays of each webcast will
also  be  publicly  accessible  on this website.   Details  concerning  the
conferences, webcasts, replays and investor materials 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, the oral public statements  made  by  a
representative of the registrant during the aforementioned webcasts and the
related  investor  materials 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.
