Barr-Nunn Tests New “MPG Incentive Program” with Rave Reviews

Granger, IA. -- Barr-Nunn Transportation is a widely acclaimed provider of highest quality transportation and logistics services. Since their inception in 1982, they have been the industry leader in pay packages and have grown to a fleet of nearly 675 tractors, 1,800 trailers and over 500 customers nationwide. Their large customer base and ability to efficiently meet the needs of shippers across the country have made them not just a stable operation, but one that is here for the long haul. It is also an organization that is poised for strategic growth. Barr-Nunn, strives for Owner Operators and Company Drivers to be happy. The Company is constantly working to come up with new ways to prove to drivers how much it values them.

With skyrocketing fuel prices and no relief in sight, Barr-Nunn wanted to create a new MPG Incentive Program that would not only motivate its drivers to participate, but also educate them to become more aware of their daily driving habits to save fuel. Company drivers were advised to top off their fuel tanks the 3rd weekend in March and again the 1st weekend in May, which would allow an accurate reading for MPG over that time frame. The top 5% in each group of drivers were then eligible for a drawing to win a VIP NASCAR race weekend package to Lowes Motor Speedway for the Carquest Autoparts 300 on May 27th. In addition, there were weekly fuel-saving tips communicated to the fleet in order to help each driver gain a better understanding of how to improve their MPG.

The winners for the VIP race weekend package were announced May 9th. Gerald Doyle and Sam Swedlund are the grand prize winners and will have the opportunity to experience NASCAR from the inside. Each driver will receive a Pit & Garage pass and be able to watch practices, qualifying, and the race from the pit area along with meeting Danny O'Quinn, who drives the No 50 Barr-Nunn Ford Fusion for Roush racing.
