Werner Enterprises has received a major honor from Disabled American Veterans (DAV), being named the organization’s Large Employer of the Year.
The award was presented during the 2025 DAV and Auxiliary National Convention, held recently in Las Vegas.
For more than 20 years, Werner has developed programs and partnerships that have connected over 25,000 veterans and transitioning service members to career opportunities within the company, DAV noted in its announcement.
Werner’s veteran hiring strategy focuses on creating a smooth path for former service members to enter the trucking industry. The company provides multiple ways to start a career, including U.S. Department of Labor–registered apprenticeships, military skills test waivers, and a variety of support services.
A key part of this effort is WEVets, Werner’s veteran resource group, which helps former military personnel build connections, grow professionally, and engage in community service.
“Werner Enterprises is raising the bar in veteran recruitment,” said DAV National Commander Daniel Contreras. “Whether it’s the apprenticeships for veterans entering the industry or the opportunities available to veteran employees, Werner Enterprises is a strong partner to the military community. We thank them for their efforts and for furthering DAV’s mission to support veterans and their families.”
