Thanks in part to our innovative use of technology, Werner is a leader in the transportation industry. We have earned the reputation of being a proactive carrier because, rather than waiting for problems to occur, we prevent them from happening.

We have implemented numerous automated processes that help move a customer's shipment from its origin to its final destination. Satellite communication, load optimization, driver hours-of-service, and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) are just a few of the many advanced technologies that Werner has capitalized on in recent years.


Using Technology

All our trucks are equipped with satellite communication capability from Qualcomm. This technology enables us to track (to within a quarter of a mile) and manage freight 24 hours a day.

Using Qualcomm data to display all truck locations on a map, our marketing and operations staff are able to see where our trucks are at any time. We regularly track our trucks on an hourly basis, and even more frequently when needed.


The Equipment

The core of our system is a number of AS/400s -- IBM mid-range computers. We also have some RS/6000s that assist in "number-crunching" applications such as Load Optimization, and Drop-and-Swap.

We use several HP/9000s with attached Jukeboxes for our imaging applications and our information warehouse system. Several hundred PCs are used throughout the Company.

We use Novell 3.12 over a token ring network. The network has a fiber backbone with MAN and WAN capabilities.
