Werner® to Ring Nasdaq Closing Bell to Commemorate 70 Years of Service and 40 Years as a Publicly Traded Company

Key Terms

intermodal technical

Intermodal is the movement of freight using two or more types of transportation—for example truck, rail and ship—while the cargo stays in the same container as it changes modes. Investors watch intermodal capacity and costs because it can lower shipping expenses, speed delivery, reduce damage and emissions, and increase supply‑chain reliability, all of which affect a company's margins and competitiveness—like a well‑timed relay handoff.

final mile technical

The final mile is the last stage of getting a product from a warehouse or local hub to the customer’s doorstep — the most detailed, time-sensitive part of delivery. It matters to investors because this segment usually drives the highest per-delivery costs, directly affects customer satisfaction and returns, and can determine whether a logistics or retail business is profitable or needs additional investment to scale, like hiring drivers or building local hubs. An everyday analogy is the difference between driving to a mall and then carrying a heavy bag up several flights of stairs to your apartment.

truckload brokerage technical

A truckload brokerage is a service that connects companies needing to move a full truck’s worth of goods with independent truck carriers that can haul them, acting like a matchmaker and dispatcher without owning the trucks. It matters to investors because brokerage firms earn fees from each shipment and their revenue and margins swing with freight demand, fuel and labor costs, and truck availability—making them sensitive indicators of supply-chain health and economic activity.
