I agree-they do not care one whit about anyone or anything except getting their freight delivered on time. I currently work for them and have been having alot of problems with them. They expect you to run illegal on your logs and have a fit if you won't. But they do pay practical miles and high milage per mile pay. I grossed over 50,000 last year and would not go to another company unless they govern their trucks lower than the curent 65mph speed.

Wow, now I don't feel so bad about signing with Werner. Thanks.

i have been with Barr Nunn for 9 months but will probably be leaving soon ..i've been treated well and run pretty good.....when running....but i sit EVERY(practically) weekend...4 out of the last 5 weekends i have sat 48 hrs or longer..the other weekend i had a 900 mile load and 3 days to get there...i was out for a month straight and had 7 days layover.(i only received (2) $80 layovers)....my weekly average (including pay period ending 7/11) is 2095 miles....(which is not bad for the days i am running)..had a good TM but was given a new one last week, and he does'nt seem too bad...but i am sitting more in my truck than i am at home, and i can't take it much longer..regional is not an option, besides the decrease in miles, there is a 5 cent pay cut.....and now i'm being hassled about idling...i just sat 2 days in 85 degree temps, and my indling this week is at 63%...first time i will be quiting a company that i like working for....

I've been with Barr-Nunn for about a month now. I am on the Ohio Regional. I really like it so far! I get around 2200 mi. a week.I was OTR with another company. And it seems to me,that most companies have low freight on the weekends alot of times. Thats why I went regional with Barr-Nunn. Alot of times your sitting on the weekend anyway OTR. And with there band pay. You might not lose as much pay as you think. Most of my runs I get band pay on. Just thought I would throw in my 2 cents.

85% turnover may be low; the question, though, is why it changed from 45 -50%. It was a great company when we leased on and that lasted 2 years. It has changed in a HUGE way with the change in President.

I've worked for a few companies.... they all seem to be the same. I know they are some good companies where the manager or dispatcher will listen to the driver, and be honest and not try to blow smoke up your tail.

My TM is so 2-faced... he sees around corners.... That's why I stay away from him.

I think you are probably in their best region. I've talked to lots of company drivers at Washington Court House and they are very satisfied with miles, pay. However, if that region is not an option, they are not so great anymore. In the last 3 trips home for time off, our [unpaid] deadhead totaled over 1,000 miles.

Happy to hear this. I researched and i'm heading to Washigto Court House Novemember 5th. Ohio Regional is what I want. 40-50K is fine for me. After 3 years LTL I realized that
1. Home ever night doesn't do much when your choices are to sleep 8 hours and head right back in or sleep less to mow the lawn and talk to wife. Night board wasn't much better but you logged 14 and worked more and on day shift they started the dock working program. I went to truck driving school, not dock workers school. I was doing 4-6 hours daily on the dock.

I just got an offer from BN, in their Southeast Hometime Fleet. I live about 100 miles from Charlotte and 160 miles from Atlanta, just a few miles off of I-85. I've also been offered a job with another company, but will only get home every 10-14 days. Home time is important to me, especially since I've been home every night for about 8 months, with my last job. Before that, I'd been OTR for 5 years, so we'll have to get used to that again.

My choices are somewhat limited, due to the fact that in 2008, I worked for 4 different companies, one of them twice and took two months off. Prior to 2008, I'd worked for 3 companies, the shortest of which was one year to the day. I know that whatever company I go with next, it's gonna have to be a minimum of one year, to offset that "job hopper" label. I've already informed the wife, that she's going to have to go back to work, too.

Of the two jobs I've been offered, Barr Nunn and US Xpress, which would be the best fit for me in the southeast. I'm still waiting to hear from Interstate Distributors, BTC and Cypress. Most of my experience has been flatbed, so getting used to opening the doors, before backing up, may take a while.

I am still working at Barr-Nunn.And i don't know anything about US express.Things have slowed down a bit out here.But Barr-Nunn always let the drivers know what they are doing to increase there customers.They have been hiring more people in there sales department.So they seem to be staying on top of there buisness.
Barr-Nunn has about 500 trucks.So there not a mega company. And there alot of horror stories about US express on this forum. I like the smaller companies myself.And the band pay is real nice.Plus you get $625 bonus every 60,000 miles.It is only based on miles.Idle time and out of route miles don't count against you.But the southeast can be slower for alot of companies.
So that is my expierence so far.I've been here 7 months.Good Luck to you!
