I worked for Barr-Nunn for 8 months. When the freight is moving very, very well, yours will move OK. When the freight is moving slowly industry wide, you will sit for days without a run.
The final straw with Barr-Nunn for me was when I was sent to Elizabethtown, NJ for an 8:00pm delivery. I arrived at 7:00pm and no one was there. It turned out that the load did not deliver until 8:00am the next morning. Not a horrible problem, but it gets better. The receiver was a very small steel cable manufacturer and their dock was set up to handle only 48 ft. trailers. In the morning, I woke up and was surrounded by 40 or 50 little cars and was told that I could not bring a 53 ft trailer in. My dispatcher, genious that he was, said, "we only have 53 ft trailers, deal with it". I did the whole 45 degree angle thing and finally got the load off. This was the 5th or 6th screwed up dispatch that I had received in as many months. THAT ended my Barr-Nunn career. I don't screw up my deliveries and I expect the same from my Dispatchers. Anyway, you may like Barr-Nunn, but I just couldn't hang with them. Good Luck!! |
things are slow with us right now but i gotta say, if you have to sit for days....you either have a joke of a dispatcher or there is something wrong with you. And getting sent to places made for 48 footers is not a Barr-Nunn problem. There is not a company out there outside of maybe flatbed or some terminal to terminal outfits that wont have you end up at crappy small receivers that are to small for a pick up truck at some point. Not everyone is happy at every place but I have to say that i have had a couple of slow weeks but have never set for days without a load and havent been put in a situation that i could not get in or out of. They have been good to me and have paid me my first $1000 paychecks in the 2 years i have been on the road. As far as OTR goes I cant imagine a more low pressure place to work. Sorry you had a bad time there, but it is not a terrible place to work.

BARR-NUNN NorthEast and Ohio Regional
Anyone out there running either the Northeast or Ohio Regionals. I have been looking at Barr-Nunn. Their pay seems good. The NorthEast Region even offers a $975.00 a week guaranteed pay package. The $0.02 per mile 401K contribution and appreciation pay all sounds good. I wonder if the $0.02 is immediately vested.
Please current Barr-Nunn drivers, provide the inside scoop. Thanks, its a ROCKYROAD |

The 2 cents to the 401 k starts the first mile you're dispatched,but, I don't think you are vested until 3 years.

Another one of them "Super Benefits" they tout that they are unlikely to ever pay.
Overall driving experience with them. Any specifics re Northeast or Ohio Regional. Thanks, Quote:
