Werner acquires dedicated carrier FirstFleet for $245M
Werner Enterprises has acquired dedicated carrier FirstFleet for $245 million.
The deal adds another dedicated-focused operation under Werner’s umbrella, a segment of trucking built around long-term customer contracts and repeat freight lanes. For many drivers, dedicated work is tied to more predictable routes and schedules than spot freight, though the day-to-day experience depends on the account and location.
Beyond the headline price, the move matters because it reflects how large carriers continue to use acquisitions to reshape their networks and customer mix. Dedicated freight is often treated as a steadier part of the business compared with more volatile, market-driven loads.
