OMAHA, Neb., April 13, 2018 -- Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ:WERN) President and Chief Executive Officer Derek Leathers and Operation Freedom driver Quinton Ward joined President Donald Trump to speak about the positive impact of recent tax cuts during a White House event on Thursday, April 12.
“With tax cuts, we’ve been able to increase our capital investment this year by $127 million, 90 percent of which is dedicated to trucks and trailers that are cleaner, safer and better for America’s roadways,” said Leathers. “We’ve also announced increases of $24 million for our 9,500 professional drivers, an average increase of $2,400 per driver.”
Joining Leathers and Ward at the event was Operation Freedom driver and Army veteran Marvin Fielder, who has 2 million accident-free miles with the company, and Werner associate Kathy Oswald. Ward also remarked on the positive impact tax cuts have had on him personally.
"Representing veterans on Werner’s Operation Freedom fleet has been a dream come true,” said Army veteran Ward. “This tax law means a better future for me and a significant pay increase this year, which will allow me to take my family on a trip that we have been planning for years.”
