ITEM 8.01  OTHER EVENTS.

On March 7, 2008, the  Registrant  issued a  press release and filed a Form
8-K  announcing its participation in the 6th Annual JPMorgan  Aviation  and
Transportation Conference in New York City, New York on March 19, 2008.  As
announced  in  such  documents, John J. Steele, the Registrant's  Executive
Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, will be presenting a
business  overview  and  highlights of the  Registrant  to  the  investment
community at 8:30 a.m. (ET).  This presentation is available to the  public
on  the  internet through a live audio webcast, and a replay of the webcast
presentation will be available for 30 days.  Both the live webcast and  the
replay are publicly accessible under the "Investor Information" link on the
Registrant's website at www.werner.com.

During  the  presentation,  Mr. Steele will  make  comments  regarding  the
Registrant's  (i) January and February 2008 results and (ii) first  quarter
2008 earnings expectations compared to first quarter 2007, as follows:

          "Earlier  this  morning,  we  filed  an  8-K  with  specific
     comments  that  I  am going to discuss with you  regarding  first
     quarter  2008.  During another transportation conference held  on
     February 13, 2008, in our prepared remarks we stated that due  to
     several  factors  and based on our January 2008  results,  it  is
     likely that our earnings per share for the first quarter of  2008
     will  be significantly lower than our earnings per share for  the
     first quarter 2007.

          "After finalizing our February 2008 results, we are updating
     those remarks.  Although the first two months were profitable, we
     expect  that  our first quarter 2008 earnings per share  will  be
     substantially  lower  than our first quarter  2007  earnings  per
     share.

          "There are several factors that are causing this quarter  to
     be very challenging:

          "The  freight market continues to be difficult.  Load counts
     began  at  a  very  low level in January 2008, below  load  count
     levels of the previous five years.  While we have experienced the
     typical  seasonal  improvement in load counts  from  January,  to
     February,  to  this point in March, load counts  continue  to  be
     below  levels  of  the  previous five  years.  By  far  the  most
     challenging sector of our business is our medium-to-long haul van
     division.   Beginning a year ago, we believe we  were  the  first
     public truckload carrier  to  begin  a  fleet  reduction  of  our
     medium-to-long haul  van  fleet.  We  have cumulatively taken out
     over  30% of  our  trucks from this  division,  including the 200
     trucks  we took out in January 2008.  This decision has helped us
     soften the impact of a very weak long-haul market and has enabled



     us  to improve  truck utilization and maintain our rate per  mile
     on a year-over-year basis.

          "Fuel  prices have been rising rapidly and this week reached
     $1.39  per  gallon higher than the same time a  year  ago.   This
     compares  to  a  72 cent per gallon year-over-year average  price
     increase in fourth quarter 2007 compared to fourth quarter  2006.
     Since  Werner purchases over 14 million gallons of fuel a  month,
     this  is a large cost increase.  Over the long term, we have been
     able  to  recover over 80% of the fuel cost increase through  our
     fuel surcharge programs.  However, when fuel prices rise rapidly,
     the recovery percentage is temporarily lower since costs increase
     daily  while  surcharge  billings tend to lag  because  surcharge
     rates  are adjusted weekly based on the national DOE fuel  survey
     price.

          "In  addition, first quarter 2008 winter weather  conditions
     were generally worse than normal compared to a milder than normal
     first  quarter 2007.  This contributed to higher than anticipated
     truck  maintenance repairs and equipment related costs.  Finally,
     the softer freight market and high fuel prices are causing demand
     to  be  softer for the sale of our used trucks, which is reducing
     the gains on sales of our trucks.

          "We  believe that the continuation of a soft freight  market
     and  the  spike  in  fuel prices are making it increasingly  more
     difficult  for many truckload carriers to stay in  business.   An
     acceleration of trucking company failures may cause a decline  in
     industry  truck  capacity  and could  improve  the  supply/demand
     balance in our industry."

This  current report on Form 8-K and the oral public statements made  by  a
representative  of  the  Registrant during the aforementioned  webcast  may
contain   forward-looking  statements,  which  are  based  on   information
currently available to our management and are current only as of  the  date
made.   Therefore, 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  updating
or revising may be accomplished through the filing of reports with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, issuance of press releases or by  other
methods of public disclosure.



                                SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of  1934,
the  Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its  behalf  by
