    Didn't Barr Nunn get sold recently to a mega carrier? Knight? Or C.R. England?

    According to this, Knight Transportation: http://www.barr-nunn.com/sites/main/documents/PressRelease.pdf (it is a PDF file)

    Tried reading the story on Des Moines Register web site, but the article kept converting to a "survey" and blanking out. Apparently, they want .99 cents a month for the first 3 months subscription on their site. But I was able to quickly scan through it (after clicking on the story 3 or 4 times), and I DID get to read that "Barr Nunn" and Knight do not plan to change anything about the company. LOL! A lot of us heard THAT before. My personal experience is when Western Express bought out Smithway Motor Express (SMX), and we were told the same thing...90 days later...it was 100% Western Express, and SMX had completely disappeared---as did I.

    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.
