Newer tractors, primarily Cascadias.

Management gripes about idle time, while drivers are kept hungry and available...driver cannot win here.

Meh.....not much
Cons
Lack of miles. Lack of respect. Dispatchers are snot-nosed high school students without a clue.

Excellent equipment, Great pay scale, amazingly quick and thorough service department and very good family environment!

Barr-Nunn
I drive for Barr-Nunn and I have no complaints. I make great money get good miles (2600 to 3100) a week as a solo. Great home time. Day 1 401k what more can you ask for

Barr-Nunn
And 9 months later nothing is different at Barr-Nunn since the purchase by Knight. Not sure what the original One Post wonder was griping about. $55-60k regional to $73k on the higher end for OTR drivers that have been here a while. I know some of the freight is getting slow heading south. A couple of guys were not happy when they didn't make it home on a certain day like they were use to. Some people think this is Burger King. Even Burger King is getting away from the "Have it your way" philosophy.

Barr Nunn teams how is your mileage?
Highly recommend Barr-Nunn. Your miles may not be 6,000 / week, but they are starting hazmat teams at .63 / mile for company teams. What you really (REALLY) need to understand before you go is they do not run the typical long haul cross country team freight. View their website. You are going to run the NorthEast primarily and you're "probably" going to average 500 mile runs. You're going to run hard and fast on those short runs, JIT. You WILL BE ON TIME. But, if you're a go=getter, you're going to make great money. Their equipment is meticulously maintained and you're usually pre-planned a couple of days ahead. You'll need that because you'll need to plan your shifts, etc. We had to leave for a family situation, but will be returning shortly. Bonuses are awesome. Tell them I sent you. (wink, wink) haha They are good people. Seriously though, if you don't want to work hard, do NOT go there. It can be stressful til you find your groove.

Barr- Nunn transportation Good Bad ?
I've worked for Barr-Nunn for almost 3 months. The money has been good (average gross has been 1,100-1,300 a week, and I bring home $750-950). I Work in the Virginia Regional Fleet, and am home an average of 2 1/2 days every weekend (Either fri morning-Sunday night, or Sat morning-Monday night). The cons? Pretty much ALL night runs, and a LOT of northeast (I've crossed the GW Bridge in and out of NYC 6 times in the last week. If you can handle that, you'll do well in the Virginia Regional. If you are from some other area, I have heard talk of not getting the miles (The big population is in the northeast, and that's where the freight/miles are at). Hope that helps.
