ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE. On August 24, 2026, the registrant issued a press release announcing its upcoming participation in Morgan Stanley's 14th Annual Laguna Conference. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. A live webcast for the conference may be publicly available on the conference date on the registrant’s website: werner.com in the “Investors” section under “News & Events” and then “Events Calendar.” A replay of the webcast will be accessible by the public on such website for a limited period following the conference date. Details concerning the conference, webcast and replay 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, as well as the oral public statements made by any representative of the registrant during the webcast announced in this Form 8-K and the related press release, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are based on information presently available to the registrant’s management and are current only as of the date made. 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 latest available Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. For those reasons, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement. 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 or as may be required by applicable securities law. Any such updates or revisions may be made by the registrant by filing reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, through the issuance of press releases or by other methods of public disclosure.
