ruckload carrier Werner Enterprises said late Friday that its board of directors boosted the company’s quarterly cash dividend 13% to 4.5 cents per share.

The dividend, an increase of a half-cent, will be payable to stockholders of record as of July 3 and will be paid on July 18.

The carrier said it is in its 20th year of paying quarterly cash dividends.

Werner is ranked No. 19 on the Transport Topics 100 list of the largest U.S. and Canadian trucking companies.
