Werner® Associate Named a 2024 Heavy Duty Trucking Emerging Leader
Cassidy plays a pivotal role in driving the company's safety initiatives and innovation. Under his leadership, Werner has achieved record-breaking safety milestones, including the lowest DOT preventable accident rate per million miles in 2023. Adam is responsible for overseeing key projects like the implementation of Samsara and backing cameras, as well as piloting new safety technologies, such as fatigue management systems, to enhance vehicle monitoring and accident prevention.
Heavy Duty Trucking’s Emerging Leaders award honors young professionals who are influential, innovative and successful, who have a passion for the transportation industry and can point to outstanding accomplishments while displaying leadership qualities. This year, Cassidy was one of eight industry leaders under the age of 40 to make the list. A Werner associate has received this award each of the last three years.
“Adam’s multifaceted contributions to Werner, from implementing advanced technologies and achieving record-breaking safety results to his leadership and community involvement, made him an excellent choice for this award,” said Werner’s President and Chief Legal Officer, Nathan Meisgeier. “His dedication to safety, innovative mindset and strong leadership qualities set a high standard and exemplify the qualities of an emerging leader in the industry.”
Beyond his operational duties, Adam actively supports community and veteran engagement, championing initiatives through the company’s WEVets associate resource group. As a veteran himself, he has organized and participated in events that support veterans, including the 50 Mile March, demonstrating his commitment to giving back to the community and supporting those who have served.
Candidates for the award either work for a for-hire, private, government or vocational fleet. They may be employed in any aspect of the fleet’s business, such as management, maintenance, operations, marketing, safety, IT, training or elsewhere.
