Granger, IA— October, 7th 2005- Barr-Nunn Transportation recognized as one of the Trucking Industry Safest Carriers.

Barr-Nunn Transportation, Inc. is a widely acclaimed long-haul, dry van truckload carrier providing highest quality services to over 500 customers nationwide. At Barr-Nunn, we want our drivers to be happy. That’s why we are constantly upgrading safety programs and anticipating and removing any obstacle to their top success.

The Iowa Motor Truck Association recently recognized the state’s safest carriers at its Annual Management Conference. Through this annual safety contest, Iowa carriers are recognized for their outstanding safety efforts. The number of accident-free miles driven, overall safety ratings and established safety programs within the company are all considered in the contest judging. Officials from the State DOT and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration are involved in the review of all the participants and in the judging of the applications. The Iowa Motor Truck Association, Iowa Council of Safety Management and Great West Casualty Company sponsor the contest.

“The objective of this annual safety contest is to highlight and showcase the trucking companies in the State of Iowa that have demonstrated the commitment needed to operate at the highest level of safety at all times. These winners are setting the standard and are recognized leaders within the trucking industry in Iowa when it comes to safety, “IMTA President, R. Scott Weiser.

This commitment to safety has continued to pay off and the statistics continue to support this theory. Over the past ten years there has been 34% drop in the large truck fatal crash rate while the miles driven by large trucks has increased by 42%. The 1990s were the safest decade ever as far as the trucking industry was concerned and this trend has continued into the 21st century as well.

“Safety is a top priority for the trucking industry and 2005 award winners are to be congratulated and recognized for their dedication to making safety a top priority. It takes a great deal of energy, effort and determination to possess the safety records that these companies possess. We are deeply honored to have these award winners moving freight here in Iowa and throughout the nation, “said Kevin Gass, IMTA Chairman of the Board.
