Werner Enterprises reported its highest revenue per truck growth in the One-Way segment in a decade during the second quarter of 2026, driven by strategic adjustments and a tightening capacity market.
Revenue per truck per week in One-Way Truckload, up 27.7% year-over-year.
The average number of trucks in the One-Way segment declined about 34% from a year ago, while total miles per truck per week rose 15.7% and average length of haul increased to 685 miles from 581 miles, indicating longer and more efficient routes.
In the Dedicated segment, fleet size grew 43.7% to 6,976 trucks, driven by the acquisition of FirstFleet in January. Average revenue per truck per week rose 5.4% to $4,789.
The results reflect strategic efforts and decisive actions to adapt to a capacity tightening market.
CEO Derek Leathers attributed the performance to strategic efforts implemented over recent quarters and decisive actions to adapt to a tightening market. He also noted the organic Dedicated business is growing and the FirstFleet acquisition is driving margin improvement ahead of schedule.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating margin improved to 3%, up 80 basis points from a year earlier. Non-GAAP adjusted operating income reached $27.6 million, up 67%, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share rose to 22 cents, a 178% increase.
