OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Werner Enterprises<\/a> (NASDAQ: WERN), a premier transportation and logistics provider, is pleased to announce Werner professional driver Ivan Hernandez as the winner of the 2020 Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence Award. Hernandez received a fully-loaded Kenworth T680 during an announcement ceremony in Chillicothe, Ohio.<\/p>\n

Enlisting into the Army in 1998, Hernandez spent 20 honorable years in the military, including four combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. He received two Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart after being wounded in action. During his enlistment, Hernandez was a United States Senior Advisor to the Saudi Arabian National Guard.

The Transition Trucking: Driving for Excellence Award was established in 2016 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation\u2019s Hiring Our Heroes Program, Kenworth and FASTPORT as part of an overall effort to curb the driver shortage and create immediate jobs for transitioning military service members. One winner is selected each year among veterans, guard members and reservists who successfully transition to the trucking industry following military service.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to everyone for your support and to those who voted for me,\u201d said Werner professional driver and award recipient Ivan Hernandez. \u201cThis is an incredible honor, and I\u2019m excited to represent Team Blue in my new Kenworth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere isn\u2019t anyone more deserving of this award as Ivan,\u201d said Vice Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Derek Leathers. \u201cIvan dedicated his life to serving our nation, and he continues to serve by delivering America\u2019s goods. He\u2019s a great ambassador for Werner, and we all benefit from his professionalism and commitment to safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis award speaks to Ivan\u2019s character and his work ethic,\u201d said Vice President of Field and Government Recruiting Jim Morbach. \u201cIvan understands hard work, he\u2019s a true testament of what Werner represents, and I\u2019m honored to have him on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
