On October 18, 2010, the registrant issued a press release regarding, among

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

            WERNER ENTERPRISES REPORTS IMPROVED THIRD QUARTER
                       2010 REVENUES AND EARNINGS

Omaha, Nebraska, October 18, 2010:
- ---------------------------------

      Werner  Enterprises, Inc.  (NASDAQ:  WERN), one  of  the  nation's
largest   transportation  and  logistics  companies,  reported  improved
revenues and earnings for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

      Summarized  financial results for third quarter 2010  compared  to
third  quarter  2009  are as follows (dollars in thousands,  except  per
share data):

Total revenues                               $463,262      $429,273      8%
Trucking revenues, net of fuel surcharge     $329,200      $319,291      3%
Value Added Services ("VAS") revenues         $64,683       $57,685     12%

Net income                                    $24,158       $18,992     27%
Earnings per diluted share                      $0.33         $0.26     26%

</TABLE>

      Freight  market trends continued to be good in third quarter  2010
and were better than those in third quarter 2009; however, they were not
as  strong  as second quarter 2010.  Freight trends thus far in  October
have  softened  from  the third quarter 2010, although  we  believe  the
larger  shippers in our network may be shifting freight shipment volumes
to  large carriers in an effort to secure capacity going into 2011.  The
softening seems to be driven more by smaller company shippers being more
cautious with their inventory and overall volume projections.

     Our average revenues per total mile increased 4.2% in third quarter
2010  compared to third quarter 2009 due to rising contractual  pricing,
higher  spot  market  rates and fewer empty  miles.    We  believe  that
capacity  is  not  being  added  in the truckload  industry  because  of
challenges  such  as  tightened equipment financing  standards,  levered
balance sheets, increased government regulations, and other factors.

<PAGE>

     We  remain committed to maintaining our total truck count  flat  at
approximately  7,300 trucks.  Our primary objectives are to  expand  our
margins  and  improve our returns on assets, equity and  capital,  while
staying true to our expanded portfolio of services for our customers.

     We  continue  to diversify our business model with the  goal  of  a
balanced  portfolio  of revenues comprised of One-Way  Truckload  (which
includes  the  Regional, medium-to-long-haul Van and Expedited  fleets),
Dedicated and Logistics (VAS).  The specialized services unit, primarily
Dedicated,  ended  the quarter with 3,600 trucks (or 49%  of  our  total
fleet).

     Diesel fuel prices were 31 cents per gallon higher in third quarter
2010  than  in third quarter 2009, and were five cents per gallon  lower
than in second quarter 2010.  For the first 18 days of October 2010, the
average  diesel  fuel  price per gallon was 43  cents  higher  than  the
average diesel fuel price per gallon in the same period of 2009  and  32
cents higher than in fourth quarter 2009.

      The driver recruiting and retention market became more competitive
in  second quarter 2010, and that trend continued in third quarter 2010.
Generally,  higher  national unemployment rates aid our  recruiting  and
retention  efforts.   We  believe, however,  that  an  improved  freight
market,  extended unemployment benefit payment programs and  anticipated
trucking  industry  safety  regulations are  tightening  driver  supply.
During  third  quarter  2010,  we implemented  proactive  measures  that
successfully improved our driver recruitment and retention  despite  the
competitive  driver market.  While we are not immune to changes  in  the
driver market, we continue to believe our position in the current market
is  better than that of many competitors because over 70% of our driving
jobs  are in more attractive, shorter-haul Regional and Dedicated  fleet
operations that enable these drivers to get home more frequently.

     The  entire  Werner  team  remains  focused  on  and  committed  to
improving our safety record.  Our current quarter results validate  that
team  commitment.  Insurance and claims costs per mile declined  19%  to
7.3  cents in third quarter 2010 compared to 9.0 cents in third  quarter
2009.   We  experienced a significantly lower severity of claims  and  a
slightly  lower  frequency of claims in third quarter 2010  compared  to
third  quarter 2009.  We remain committed to our focus on safety and  to
reducing our insurance and claims costs.

      Gains  on sales of assets were $1.4 million in third quarter  2010
compared  to  $0.9  million in third quarter 2009 and  $0.5  million  in
second  quarter  2010.   The market for the  sale  of  used  trucks  and
trailers  began  to  improve in third quarter 2010  compared  to  second
quarter 2010, and we realized higher average gains per truck and trailer
sold.   Gains  on sales are reflected as a reduction of Other  Operating
Expenses in our income statement.

      We  have  begun  buying new trucks with 2010-standard  engines  to
replace  older  trucks  we sell or trade.  We remain  committed  to  the
ongoing  investment  required to maintain a  best-in-class  fleet  while
focusing  on  the lowest operating cost model for our customers.   As  a
result,  we expect our net capital expenditures for 2010 to  be  in  the
range  of  $110.0 million to $130.0 million, an increase from our  prior
range of $90.0 million to $120.0 million.

     To provide shippers with additional sources of managed capacity and
network  analysis,  we  continue  to  develop  the  non-asset-based  VAS
segment.   VAS  includes Brokerage, Freight Management,  Intermodal  and
Werner Global Logistics (International).

      In  third  quarter 2010, VAS revenues increased 12%, gross  margin
dollars decreased 2% and operating income dollars decreased 26% compared
to  third  quarter  2009.   Brokerage revenues  in  third  quarter  2010
increased 16% compared to third quarter 2009 due to an increased  volume
of  shipments and higher average revenue per shipment.  Brokerage  gross
margin  dollars  grew at a lower percentage rate, and the  gross  margin
percentage decreased 130 basis points due to the higher cost of  carrier
capacity  compared to third quarter 2009; however, the  Brokerage  gross
margin  percentage  improved sequentially from second  quarter  2010  to
third  quarter  2010  by  70 basis points.  Brokerage  operating  income
dollars  in  third quarter 2010 increased 2% compared to  third  quarter
2009  due  to  the lower gross margin percentage.  Intermodal  revenues,
gross  margin percentage, and operating results improved.  Werner Global
Logistics revenues increased during third quarter 2010 compared to third
quarter  2009  while the gross margin percentage and  operating  results
decreased significantly due to a decrease in the number of higher margin
shipments  related to several international projects that  ended  during
the  latter  part  of second quarter 2010.  Compared to  second  quarter
2010,  Werner  Global  Logistics revenues, gross margin  percentage  and
operating results showed improvement.

      Comparisons  of  the  operating  ratios  (net  of  fuel  surcharge
revenues)  for the Truckload segment and VAS segment for third  quarters
2010 and 2009 and year-to-date 2010 and 2009 are shown below.

       Fluctuating fuel prices and fuel surcharge collections impact the
total  company  operating  ratio and the Truckload  segment's  operating
ratio  when  fuel surcharges are reported on a gross basis  as  revenues
versus  netting  against  fuel  expenses.   Eliminating  fuel  surcharge
revenues,  which  are  generally  a more  volatile  source  of  revenue,
provides a more consistent basis for comparing the results of operations
from  period  to period.  The Truckload segment's operating  ratios  for
third  quarter  2010  and  third  quarter  2009  are  90.6%  and  91.8%,
respectively,  and for year-to-date 2010 and 2009 are 92.7%  and  94.5%,
respectively,  when  fuel surcharge revenues are  reported  as  revenues
instead of a reduction of operating expenses.

       Our  financial position remains strong.  We ended  third  quarter
2010  with  no debt and $94.8 million of cash.  Stockholder's equity  is
$763.3  million.   Net capital expenditures for the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2010 were $83.1 million.
