Barr-Nunn Transportation recently created two new solo pay options and one new team pay option, which the carrier has named Shift Load Pay.
For drivers in select Southeastern cities and running primarily southeastern states, Shift + Load Pay allows truck drivers to earn $200 for their on-duty shift and earn $50 for each load hauled during these shifts. The Shift + Load Pay option gives drivers the option to work Sunday through Thursday with Friday and Saturday off each week.
For drivers in select Midwestern cities and running primarily midwestern states, Shift + Load Pay allows truck drivers to earn $260 for on-duty shifts and earn $40 for each load hauled during these shifts. The Shift + Load Pay option also offers a Sunday through Thursday work week.
For established team drivers in 24 states, Shift + Load Pay pays drivers $275 for on-duty shift and $100 to split for each load hauled during these shifts. Team drivers are out for 30 days and can take up to 15 days off.
"The Shift + Load Pay program is very rare in our industry, in that, it offers qualified drivers a consistent weekly paycheck and the ability to take control of their income. Although there are a limited number of Shift + Load Pay driver positions, we are excited to offer these new fleet options to the safest professional drivers," said Jeff Blank, director of recruiting for Barr-Nunn.
Also, Shift + Load Pay keeps Barr-Nunn Transportation truck drivers eligible to earn CSA Safety Bonuses from $700 to $1,025 every 90 days, as well as paid time off. All company truck drivers receive Blue Cross Blue Shield Insurance, a matching 401(k) program, day one free-rider program for solo drivers, and paid life insurance.
