(Free-Press-Release.com) April 14, 2011 -- Granger, IA Barr-Nunn Transportation announced this week that they are issuing a pay increase effective 4/15/11 for all hazmat endorsed company drivers running in the OTR fleets.

New hazmat endorsed OTR drivers will now earn $0.40 per Practical mile with 1 year of experience and $0.41 per Practical mile with 7 years or more of experience. New OTR Drivers with the hazmat endorsement living in the Northeastern states will earn $0.42 per Practical mile with 1 year of experience and $0.43 per Practical mile with 7 years or more. The news is sure to generate a buzz with existing, hazmat endorsed, OTR solo and team drivers as well, because they will see a pay raise on all loads after 4/11/11 and an increased pay cap.

These new rates are in addition to Barr-Nunn’s industry leading “Band Pay” of up to $0.48 per loaded mile. New Team Drivers also have reason to rejoice—their starting pay will rise to either $0.45 or $0.46 per Practical mile, also depending on experience.
