Barr-Nunn Transportation Moves to Practical Miles Pay

Barr-Nunn is always looking for ways to keep their drivers happy, and as of May 1st their drivers and owner operators have been smiling more than ever due to the company’s transition to the Practical Mile Pay program. This transition allows their fleet to achieve pay increases, bonuses and vacation much faster along with larger paychecks because the new pay system will more accurately reflect the drivers' actual route and that makes drivers and their families much happier overall.

Barr-Nunn ran “sample” lanes to make sure this would really benefit their drivers, and what they found was astonishing! For example, they found that a run from Columbus, OH to Atlanta, GA was paying 534 miles but now under the new system it pays 575 miles, which is a 7.7% increase in miles. Charlotte, NC to Cincinnati, OH was paying 451 miles and now pays 479 miles, for a 6.2% increase in miles, and Memphis, TN to Orlando, FL now pays 803 miles versus the previous 761 miles, which is a 5.5% increase in miles.

Barr-Nunn feels this is the largest single pay raise for their fleet in recent history and will continue to work hard to show their drivers the difference is real at Barr-Nunn.

To find out more about how Barr-Nunn anticipates and responds to the needs of their people, offers outstanding pay packages, including their new Practical Mileage Program, and gives drivers all the advantages they deserve, call 888-999-7576 or got to www.barr-nunn.com.

Continental Express Driver Reaches Safe Driving Milestone

With more than 25 years of professional driving experience, Tunstall has spent more than 13 of those years driving for Continental. According to Tunstall, working for Continental is easy because “they get me home on time for the amount of time I need to be home, and when I’m ready to go again, they have places for me to go.”

Tunstall says that when it comes down to reaching his safe driving goals, it all boils down to “paying attention!” He adds that “most people have so many accidents because they are too easily distracted; they are always busy doing other things while driving rather than simply paying attention to the road.” He also added that it is so important not to let yourself get too tired.

When he’s not on the road, Tunstall says he doesn’t have a whole lot of time for interesting hobbies. He claims “all my off time is usually filled with honey-do chores for my wife. That takes up most of my free time.”

Continental Express, Inc congratulates Troy for this milestone accomplishment and encourages him to keep up the good work.

Continental Express was founded two decades ago as a small truckload carrier with only 25 trucks. Today, the company is a premier coast-to-coast truckload, truck/rail, and logistics transportation company with over 500 trucks and more than 1,200 dry van trailers. Headquartered in Little Rock, Ark., Continental Express has a network of secure regional drop facilities that sweep the nation from California to Georgia.

Drivers interested in the company driving positions or lease purchase program at Continental Express should call 800.745-9670 or visit www.continentalx.com.
