Barr-Nunn Transportation, the Iowa-based transportation company, has announced a new practical mile pay program for 2006.
Effective for all loads picked up May 1 or later, all cent-per-mile paid company drivers and owner-operators will enjoy Practical Mileage Pay. This new pay system, which will more accurately reflect paid miles to actual trip miles, has been a much-requested item Barr-Nunn drivers and owner-operators.
The new Practical Mile Pay is not Hub miles and will not match to a driver’s exact miles driven, but will be closer than the industry standard Rand McNally Shortest pay system. The new system will help drivers earn substantially more money. Practical Mileage Pay will also allow company drivers to gain more from Barr-Nunn’s 401(k) program and earn safety, longevity pay increases, and appreciation bonuses even faster. The new system will allow owner-operators to earn safety pay increases faster, earn more money for fuel surcharges and, of course, earn more money overall.
In addition, the company is enhancing its $500 appreciation bonuses for company drivers by 20 percent to $600, paid at completion of every 60,000 miles and $600 paid for each anniversary for weekly-paid drivers.
Any driver due to receive an appreciation bonus Jan. 6 or after will now receive $600, which is equivalent to 1 cent per mile on practical miles.
Also, effective Feb. 10, over the road drivers with 1-6 years of experience will see an increase in starting linehaul pay to 40 cents per mile and over the road drivers with 7-plus years of experience will see an increase in starting linehaul pay to 41 cents per mile.
“By adding in our 2 cent-per-mile 401k contribution, the 1 cent-per-mile Barr-Nunn $600 payment and considering our industry-leading mileage band pay program, Barr-Nunn company drivers will earn between 43 cents and 78 cents per mile on all miles driven on practical miles,” said a company spokesman.
We continue to make sure that the Difference Is Real at Barr-Nunn…time and time again.
