Barr-Nunn Transportation, an Iowa-based dry-van truckload carrier, has announced the implementation of a new fuel protection guarantee for its owner-operator fleet.

The program guarantees that Barr-Nunn's owner-operators, including new lease purchase owners, will not pay more than 99 cents per gallon for fuel for the remainder of 2004.
"Owner-operators are a critical component to Barr-Nunn's success," said Bob Sturgeon, president and owner of Barr-Nunn Transportation. "We know that fuel costs are a major concern for owner-operators and we have been working on ways to minimize and stabilize this cost for years. Our owner-operators are now able to eliminate the worries of rising fuel costs through the end of the year."
The "99 Cent Guarantee" is made up of discounts, fuel surcharge and additional fuel cost reimbursements that, in combination, will ensure fuel cost per gallon does not exceed 99 cents. The program is available to all Barr-Nunn owner-operators and participants in its zero-down lease purchase program.
"We do understand that fuel cost is only one of many important concerns for our owner-operators. We focus on every major compensation area, working to continuously improve what we offer. Again we prove it, with 99% tolls paid and 99% no-touch freight," Sturgeon said.
