It offers professional drivers the opportunity to order new trucks equipped with an auxiliary power unit with 110-volt service and assorted accessories available, depending on the safe driving milestone achieved.
Drivers with 1 million safe driving miles are eligible to order a new truck with a special decal package, while drivers with 2 or 3 million safe driving miles at Werner also can choose from accessory packages and premium upgrades. New trucks ordered within this program will feature a light or dark blue exterior and remain with the driver until the equipment is removed from the fleet.
Werner’s 2 and 3 million mile drivers are expected to receive their new trucks the first half of 2014, with 1 million mile drivers following soon after.
Werner currently has approximately 570 drivers eligible for this program.
