Carrier’s profit falls 17.6 percent, but quarter ends with growing demand
Werner Enterprises says a tough first quarter ended with an upturn in shipping demand that carried over into April.
The carrier says truckload shipping remains sharply weaker than last year but that it saw the improvement at the end of a first quarter in which its net profit fell 17.6 percent compared to the same quarter a year ago, to $6.8 million. Werner saw demand deteriorate across all its business lines.
