Barr-Nunn is the most inhuman company I have ever worked for. Let me tell you my story.
I had a heart attack while on the job. I finished my load and went home because I thought it was just an infection. After going to hospital and finding out I was having a heart attack, I called to let my boss know. The doctor told me it would be four weeks before I could drive again.
Instead of letting me heal and come back to work, they told me I had 14 days to get back in my truck or I would be terminated. I asked for FMLA but because I had only been a company driver with them for 9 months, they told me no. In 14 days I was termed and someone came to get my truck. I asked for other work at the company until I could drive again but was denied. I reapplied to Barr-Nunn after the doctor released me and they told me they would not rehire me even though I had never been late or been in any accidents. On top of that, they sent me a bill instead of a last check. apparently they charged me 500 dollars for picking up their truck. Last but not least, they fought my Unemployment Claim saying that I "quit" and was not fired.
So now I'm swamped with medical bills, unemployed and in debt to a company I worked hard for as a company driver and as an owner-operator. A sad end for guy who worked during a heart attack to get their load to Baltimore on time.
