That pretty much confirms what I've been stating. 5300 miles in 3 weeks is about 1767 a week average.
You're right, freight ebbs and flows. But my post was about fixed policies and verifiable math, not subjective feelings. You are trying to make...
I didn’t leave Walmart FOR Barr-Nunn. I left Walmart for personal reasons I won't get into here and spent time researching companies that could...
Thanks for proving my point. Your whole response ignores the math and shifts the blame. You suggest running 3,800 miles/week is possible if I...
That's fair. I worked there long enough to verify the company's business model, which is the point of the post. You don't need a year to know a...
Thanks for the response, but you missed the key takeaway. My point wasn't about the 9 days off—it was about the insane amount of sitting time and...
I think you missed the point of my post. The fact is that Barr Nunn sells new drivers on the point that they are almost guaranteed to make 6...
Fellow drivers, I would like to weave a cautionary tale of a company that promises the moon, but will only get you to Secaucus (not NYC). If...
Yes. I idle my truck 24/7.
Considering the phone call and message we got yesterday, I don't think we're the only ones ready to leave. They were practically begging people...
I’ve maybe ran a total of 1000 miles since last Friday. I had like 6 hours on my 70 then. I’m up to 32 now. I go home tomorrow, and won’t be...
Yeah, they wanted me to scale a 6000lb load. I chuckled at them and scooted down the road. They never said a thing about it. That’s part of that...
So Barr Nunn factors at 50mph. That’s part of the sitting problem. I have had loads that have 650 miles between pick up and delivery that they...
It’s definitely not horrible by any stretch, rather it’s just a different way of operating. The night driving wouldn’t be so bad if they would...
Ah yes. Barr Nunn. I’ve been here for 3 weeks. 1800-2000 miles a week is all we’re seeing. The driver manager says that’s normal. Run 300-400...
It was a news crew that got sprayed. And it didn't run them off other than to startle them because they weren't expecting it and didn't know if...
[MEDIA] You're gonna get yourself killed thinking that wasp spray is going to do anything to a human. Especially a pissed-off human.
It's a correct take the way I see it. The only disagreement that I have is that it's not the lack of parking every night that pushes most drivers...
That may not be such a great idea. Usually their nephew Nikolay is right around the corner. Nikolay is the 6'6" 250lb MMA fighter/Spetznaz...
