Former Employee - Sep 1, 2023

I will be simple. This company is not family friendly. When I worked for them I didn't believe other former drivers who stated how mistreated they were for family issues. My mother died this last year necessitating my leaving the company. Before I left Barr-Nunn I used my dental insurance for a crown. I was still an employee but three months later they actually changed my leaving date exactly 1 week before using insurance. That is theft and illegal. I am retaining an attorney and will nail them to the wall. They think they can get away with it but they flew me out and allowed me to drive their truck and claimed I had left the week prior.

Pros

Pay

Cons

Lack of common sense

You will do a lot of sitting at truck stops waiting for work. The trucks say top pay carrier, but that is false with how little they run you. Many drivers I would speak to were having the same issue. One of the drivers says he was stopped for over 79 hours at a truck stop waiting for a load.

Pros

Decent equipment

Cons

Pay is not what they say it will be because of all the time you are sitting waiting for loads.

They are certified a top-pay carrier supposedly I wonder what that means because of the company is hiring experienced drivers Barr Nunn pays the least It’s owned by Knight Swift which is not necessarily a good thing.

Pros

The equipment isn’t too bad and for people that are just starting the pay isn’t too bad either

Cons

Low pay for experienced drivers and the parent company Swift night not very exciting and actually a little

And 9 months later nothing is different at Barr-Nunn since the purchase by Knight. Not sure what the original One Post wonder was griping about. $55-60k regional to $73k on the higher end for OTR drivers that have been here a while. I know some of the freight is getting slow heading south. A couple of guys were not happy when they didn't make it home on a certain day like they were use to. Some people think this is Burger King. Even Burger King is getting away from the "Have it your way" philosophy.

Barr Nunn teams how is your mileage?

Barr Nunn teams how is your mileage?

Highly recommend Barr-Nunn. Your miles may not be 6,000 / week, but they are starting hazmat teams at .63 / mile for company teams. What you really (REALLY) need to understand before you go is they do not run the typical long haul cross country team freight. View their website. You are going to run the NorthEast primarily and you're "probably" going to average 500 mile runs. You're going to run hard and fast on those short runs, JIT. You WILL BE ON TIME. But, if you're a go=getter, you're going to make great money. Their equipment is meticulously maintained and you're usually pre-planned a couple of days ahead. You'll need that because you'll need to plan your shifts, etc. We had to leave for a family situation, but will be returning shortly. Bonuses are awesome. Tell them I sent you. (wink, wink) haha They are good people. Seriously though, if you don't want to work hard, do NOT go there. It can be stressful til you find your groove.

Barr- Nunn transportation Good Bad ?

Barr- Nunn transportation Good Bad ?

I've worked for Barr-Nunn for almost 3 months. The money has been good (average gross has been 1,100-1,300 a week, and I bring home $750-950). I Work in the Virginia Regional Fleet, and am home an average of 2 1/2 days every weekend (Either fri morning-Sunday night, or Sat morning-Monday night). The cons? Pretty much ALL night runs, and a LOT of northeast (I've crossed the GW Bridge in and out of NYC 6 times in the last week. If you can handle that, you'll do well in the Virginia Regional. If you are from some other area, I have heard talk of not getting the miles (The big population is in the northeast, and that's where the freight/miles are at). Hope that helps.
