Here is some information about the Werner Enterprises Trucking Company:

Werner Enterprises (WE) is a big trucking company founded by Clarence L. Werner in 1956 and based in Omaha, NE.
With 7'200 Trucks (Tractors), 25'000 Trailers and 14'000 employees, WE is one of the five largest truck carriers in the U.S.
WE is using the railroads for TOFC service, which can be seen over Cajon Pass.

Last but not least, the host of this website, Werner Meer, feels somehow familiar with WE because his first name is Werner.
So, on his HO layout (under construction) there is also a WE facility with WE trucks in 1/87 scale - take a look: click here
