accomadations in Cedar Rapids

Everything you read is still true. If you still have a CDL, I think most roadways have a discount. But if you're in CR for 2 weeks, I'm guessing you dropped it back down to a regular license. The roadway is an option, but make sure you communicate with your recruiter, the people making you sign the agreement to pay them back, or else you'll be paying them for a room you never slept in. And they charge you the average rate for 2 people in a room, so you might actually save money by getting your own single room. Just keep in mind, that motel isn't exactly the nicest, but it's the only option outside of an hour walk. You're also right next to a drug rehab, so expect late night knocks on the door when some of them want to cheat but have no money to do it. There's also a hotel that CRST uses for their drivers, don't trust that, because you rely on the shuttle to get back and forth and sometimes they just don't feel like leaving yet. But ultimately, long as you don't use a black light in the motel, it's probably WAY better than staying at the terminal.

 

If you walk out the front door of the terminal and look to your right, once you get to the end of the property (few hundred yards) there's a cross street. There's a grocery store right across that street. And a Walgreens or CVS (i forget which one) across the street to the left. Walmart is a little farther, but they run a shuttle to there every night. Just ask the guy at the desk what time the next one is and he'll let you know, then just be there waiting.

 

Are you sure the terminal wouldn't show the same as the motel under the black light?

 

Really?????? You REALLY think they'd do that in front of a 3rd person?

No dude, that's what the showers are for.

 

Maybe, maybe not. Who's to say the 3rd wouldn't be participating?
