need info on barr-nunn

The speeds for Barr-Nunn's trucks are as follows:

Standard company FL Columbia-65

Team Condo Columbia (yes, some solo's have these)-68

One of the new Prostars - 62 (they also have apu's)

I'm pretty sure the older Internationals are at 65, too.

Oh yeah, PLEASE read all you can about BN on this site. There are a lot of things to be aware of.

Once again, they may work out just fine for ya'll. Do your reasearch and talk to as many divers as you can on the road. But definitely plan to stay at least 6 months if you sign on, otherwise, you'll loose a lot of money leaving!

Stick

 

I worked for them about 2 yrs ago. Good company just could not get enough miles 2000 a week dont so it. But u have to have a min. Of 1 year otr before they will consider u, also buddy works for them said they were laying of northeast drivers due to ecomoney and closing the washing court house terminal due to the closing of dhl which would be about right good luck

 

Barr-Nunn now only requires 8 mon. exp. There is as hiring freeze right now in most areas.
They are closing the washington court house terminal. But will be opening a new one closer to Columbus. So it is really just a relocation for that terminal.

 

I hear alot of bad from the OTR drivers. is there any one who can give me some insight on the SE regional fleet. good dispatchers? good miles? home every weekend? anything that would help me make my decision any easier to leave the company i am with (star transport morton IL) lol and come over to barr nun.

 

I too have been thinking of going to Barr-Nunn, keep posting what you hear,

 

i am suppose to go to orientation on monday february 16. so far i have heard nothing but good about the company. from the drivers i have talked to on the cb. but i will post again after i start orientation, to let you know. the only thing that i wish is that there were more southeast regional drivers that i could get some input from.

 

Hey All, I run the Ohio regional fleet. I've been with Barr-Nunn since June 08'. Things got a little slow around the holidays.But that seems to happen everywhere.
Last week I got 2600 miles.Left Sunday night,home Friday night. This week I got 2700 miles.Left Sunday night,home Friday night. The band pay is really nice.Alot of runs are under the 550 miles.So you'll be getting extra .02 or,.03,.04 a mile. I recommend them. I came over from Roehl. What a difference!! I will watch this thread to see how things go for you. Good Luck!!

 

Hey whydontchahey thinking about talking to Barr Nunn about northeast regional. I live about 2 hours from the Manchester PA terminal. Ever talk to anybody that runs northeast ? Thanks in advance for any input.........PJ

 

I talked to guy that was doing that salary pay. He seeemed happy with that. Just checked the web site. Looks like they are offering .42 per mile with a hazmat to start out on the NE regional.I'm not sure what kind of miles that area gets.That doesn't seem like bad pay to get home on weekends.I think they try to get you atleast 2200 miles. Let me know how it goes for you.
