Barr-Nunn Transportation Commemorates 28th Year behind the
Wheel

 

Barr-Nunn
Transportation leading national trucking firms is happily celebrating their
28th year in operation.  Although
these days Barr-Nunn is among the 200 largest truckload carriers in the U.S. they proudly
claim that they still run based on the principles and beliefs with which they
were founded by Bob Sturgeon in the early 1980s: full staff involvement in
company affairs high safety standards and a respect for clients and employees
alike.

 

            When
the value of farm ground surged in the mid ’70’s Sturgeon then a farmer
seized the opportunity to sell his land and change careers.  Surveying the possibilities Sturgeon saw
huge potential in the transportation industry with deregulation kicking into
full gear in the early 80’s.  When the
opportunity arose to purchase the intermodal side of a friend’s business Sturgeon
purchased 13 tractors and formed  Sturgeon Truck Lines Inc.  The later purchase of Barr-Nunn
Transportation further expanded his company.

 

            These
days the corporation has grown to a fleet of 500 trucks and 1500 trailers
with extensive service in the Midwest Southeast and Northeast regions of the U.S.  I’m extremely proud that we’ve made it this
far says Sturgeon. I feel so fortunate to have been able to hire such capable
transportation professionals.  Because of
them we have been able to truly put safety and excellent customer service at
the forefront of our business. 

 

            Barr-Nunn’s
commitment to excellence is certainly evident. 
As the innovator in pay packages offering practical miles band pay
and unique 401(k) plans for employees they strive to keep those who make them
great happy.  The plan certainly seems to
be working as Barr-Nunn passed a recent audit by
the
Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration with
the highest possible rating.  Sturgeon is
looking forward to many more birthday celebrations in Barr-Nunn’s future.  I’m sure we can continue to improve with
each one just like we have done so far he declares.
