Based in Columbus, Ohio, the company has built a strong reputation for outstanding on-time pickup and delivery service, specializing in serving major e-commerce customers as well as other businesses that require timely and reliable freight transportation. With a fleet consisting of approximately 600 tractors and 2,150 trailers, Barr-Nunn prioritizes efficient logistics operations paired with an exceptional safety record. This winning combination has helped the company maintain stability and profitability over the decades, setting Barr-Nunn apart from many other trucking operations that may come and go in the ever-changing economy. Barr-Nunn is committed to long-term success and reliability, providing drivers and customers with peace of mind that they can depend on the company for the miles ahead.

The role available is for an OTR CDL-A Truck Driver, a position that offers excellent earning potential with a salary range of $85,000 to $95,000 annually. Barr-Nunn also incentivizes new hires with generous transition bonuses of $1,650 or $1,825 on the first paycheck, depending on qualifications and endorsements. This role is well suited for solo company drivers who want to earn big while enjoying a balanced home time schedule. Drivers run for 21 days straight and then get a full 7 days off to rest and reset. The freight is 100% no-touch, full dry van truckload, which means drivers will not be responsible for loading or unloading cargo, allowing them to focus solely on driving and safety. Barr-Nunn supports drivers with paid flights home and back when parking at company terminals, or reimburses fuel costs for drivers living east of I-35, providing added flexibility and convenience.

Barr-Nunn offers competitive pay based on experience and endorsements, with rates from 65 to 70 cents per mile. Drivers with HAZMAT endorsements are eligible for higher hiring bonuses and additional premiums per mile when hauling placarded hazardous material freight. The company also offers other types of accessorial pay, such as stop-off pay, and provides excellent benefits including 401(k) with matching contributions, BCBS health insurance, dental insurance, and free $10,000 life insurance coverage. Trucks are well-equipped with modern amenities like TV, microwave, refrigerator, inverter, Sirius XM radio, bedding, sheets, pillow, and CB radio to enhance driver comfort on the road.

Additional extensive benefits include weekly paychecks, increased pay rates for shorter loads under 400 miles, and unmatched CSA safety bonuses offered every 90 days based on safety performance. Safety-based pay raises and on-road safety bonuses further reward drivers for maintaining a clean record. Anniversary bonuses reward longevity with Barr-Nunn, and orientation pay is provided during the onboarding process. Drivers also benefit from detention pay starting after just one hour, a free rider program, and accelerated paid time off earned through mileage accumulation. The fleet features late-model Freightliner Cascadia tractors paired with newer 53-foot Wabash trailers equipped with tracking and cargo sensors, toll transponders, and weigh station bypass systems. Digital tools like Drive Axle and Transflo streamline paperwork submission and load management, making daily operations more manageable and efficient.
