Barr-Nunn is Celebrating its Drivers by Increasing Pay/Bonuses

Granger, IA (June 18, 2010) — Barr-Nunn Transportation, Inc. truly knows how to appreciate its drivers and the long-term careers they have established with the company. That's why Barr-Nunn is pleased to announce a benefit change for its current company drivers and for all new company drivers. This raise is effective with all loads that complete after July 1, 2010 forward; Barr-Nunn will now contribute $0.02 per practical mile to a driver's 401K instead of $0.01 per practical mile currently. Drivers do not have to contribute anything themselves to the plan to be eligible for the $0.02 per mile company contribution which starts day one of employment.

The carrier has also made a change back to its old driver referral program. For all drivers referred by a Barr-Nunn Driver or Owner Operator the following program will be in effect until 8/27/10. For referrals that are hired, drivers will earn $500 up front, $0.02 per mile for that driver's miles (paid weekly) and an additional $500 after the new driver celebrates 4 months with Barr-Nunn.
With an additional promotion on top of this, Barr-Nunn drivers and Owner Operators can earn up to $2,250 per driver referral.

"We appreciate our drivers' willingness to speak to other drivers about our programs, pay, benefits and company culture" says Jeff Blank, Director of Recruiting. And we truly appreciate that our drivers are still with us. We are also excited about helping provide a solid retirement for drivers and their families when the time comes.
