Granger IA (May 4 2009) — Barr-Nunn Transportation Inc. is proud to celebrate 3 years of Practical Mileage pay to their company drivers and owner operators. In May of 2006 Barr-Nunn switched to paying their drivers based on practical miles.  This pay system is in contrast to the industry standard miles referred to as household goods miles. Not only does Practical mileage account for logical alternate routing it also bases measurements on addresses or ZIP codes. As a general rule drivers are paid an average of five percent more miles by practical routing.

“What we are most proud of is that our drivers and owner-operators helped us make the decision to pay practical miles. Our Driver Advisory Council was a big part of this decision which resulted in the largest pay raise in Barr-Nunn history” said Jay Shiek Director of Operations for Barr-Nunn. “It was the right thing to do three years ago and it remains the right thing to do today.  Drivers should be paid for the miles they are actually driving.”
