C.L. Werner has stepped down as executive chairman of Werner Enterprises, effective May 31, 2020. Werner will continue to serve as chairman of the board of directors through the end of his current term, in May 2021, and at that time it is expected that he will become chairman emeritus. The board of directors appointed Derek Leathers, the current CEO and president of the company, as a member and vice-chairman of the board of directors. Werner has recommended to the board of directors that Leathers be named chairman of the board of directors, in addition to CEO and president, when Werner’s term ends. As Werner’s very first driver, CL started Werner Enterprises with one truck in 1956. When he sold that truck, he bought two, and he continued that process early in his career to create one of the top truckload carriers in the country. Werner became the very first trucking company to implement paperless driver logs in the mid-1990’s, decades before the industry required them for all trucking companies.
