                WERNER ENTERPRISES ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY
                         AND SPECIAL DIVIDENDS

Omaha, Nebraska, November 9, 2010:
- ---------------------------------

      Werner  Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ: WERN),  one  of  the  nation's
largest  transportation and logistics companies, announced  today  that
its  Board  of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend  of
$.050 (5.0 cents) per common share payable to stockholders of record at
the  close of business on January 10, 2011.  This dividend will be paid
on January 25, 2011.

      Werner  Enterprises  is currently in its  twenty-fourth  year  of
paying   quarterly  cash  dividends  on  its  common   stock   to   its
stockholders.   The first quarterly cash dividend was  paid  by  Werner
Enterprises in July 1987.

     Werner  also  announced  that its Board of  Directors  declared  a
special cash dividend of $1.60 per common share payable to stockholders
of record at the close of business on November 22, 2010.  This dividend
will be paid on December 7, 2010.  As a result of the special dividend,
a  total  of  approximately $116 million will be paid on Werner's  72.6
million  common  shares  outstanding.  Werner also  paid  special  cash
dividends  of  $1.25 per common share in December 2009  and  $2.10  per
common share in December 2008.

dividend  to  shareholders  as  a way to  further  enhance  shareholder

the  future  by  keeping its fleet count flat for  the  near  term  and
increasing  its operating margin percentage with improved  rates,  high
