Paid Time Off (PTO) Earned Three Ways

Hometime, family time, and time to recharge are vital to the health and well-being of every trucker. So, Barr-Nunn Transportation provides truck drivers the ability to rack up PTO in three different ways. Choose one or go for all three.

Paid Miles Earn PTO

Every mile driven earns PTO. Solo truck drivers earn 3-9 days of PTO every 60,000 paid miles. Team truck drivers earn 3-9 days of PTO every 109,000 paid miles.

How Mileage-Paid Solo Truck Drivers Earn PTO

CSA Safety Bonuses Earn PTO

Safe driving should be recognized and rewarded. Every 90 days, solo and team drivers at Barr-Nunn Transportation are eligible to receive one day of PTO for each CSA Safety Bonus earned. CSA Safety Bonuses PTO days are regularly obtainable; in fact, 95% of Barr-Nunn drivers earn this bonus.

Safe Driver Awards Earn PTO

In addition to CSA Safety Bonus PTO opportunities, Barr-Nunn Transportation drivers reaching company-designated safety milestones or earning Elite Safe driver awards receive extra PTO. Safety milestones include every safe Million Mile achievement.

Truck Driver Controlled Pay Raises

Truck Driver controlled pay raises have been part of the culture at Barr-Nunn Transportation for many years. How much a truck driver earns per year is determined by the driver, not the company. With minimal planning, drivers at Barr-Nunn Transportation can control when pay raises kick in. Overwhelmingly, our truck drivers prefer pay raises carried out this way, then merit increases determined subjectively by supervisors.

• Solo OTR drivers earn pay raises of .005 cents per mile every 40,000 Safe Paid Miles. (Contact recruiter for pay cap)
• Solo Regional drivers earn pay raises of .005 cents per mile every 20,000 Safe Paid Miles. (Contact recruiter for pay cap)
• Team OTR drivers earn pay raises of one cent per mile to the team rate on first, second, and third employment anniversaries.

In addition to scheduled raises each year, Barr-Nunn Transportation also increases the truck driver pay rates for individual fleets.

Short Haul Pay

Because the industry average loaded length of haul has been declining for years, Barr-Nunn Transportation pays solo mileage paid drivers additional cents per mile on complete loads hauled under 550 miles. We call it Band Pay. Unlike traditional truck driving jobs and salary, Band Pay is further compensation added on top of our industry-leading base pay rates. It helps ensure a hefty paycheck each week regardless of the number of miles run. Band pay is of the many reasons Barr-Nunn Transportation truck drivers’ weekly earnings are higher on average than other carriers.

Practical Mileage Pay

Barr-Nunn Transportation truck drivers pay is based on the most practical route a tractor-trailer can travel, not as the crow flies. Practical miles more accurately reflect actual miles traveled per haul than how most carriers calculate miles. Practical Mileage Pay helps truck drivers earn more money per month, and reach safety pay increases even faster.

Pay and Compensation at Barr-Nunn Transportation – I’d have to say has got to be among the best. I did my homework, I looked around, and I couldn’t find anything better”
