My journey with PGT begins today

Ouch... why would anyone ever buy a house in Laredo?? LOL

 

Ummmmm the trucks are alittle tight. Mid rood double bunks. My trainer had a midroof 9400. He said the prostars have alittle more room but he had alit of little electrical problems with his prostar so he got an older 9400. I had a LARGE duffle bag with pretty much a months worth of clothes, good sized back pack,another duffle bag with my rain gear,boots,cb. Then my sleeping bag and pillow. Once i laid my sleeping bag out and put all my junk on the bunk it wasnt bad. I thought i had packed too much myself lol. Which is why i left it all in Monaca when i came home for the holidays. But better to have alittle more than not enough.

 

Thats the bad thing about grey hound. The conf# isnt a booked ticket. You dont get your ticket untill you take the conf # to the counter. Plus today is the worst day for the bus. Everyone going back home from thanksgiving.

 

PGT moves alot of freight out of Laredo. Lots. BTW, I live in the back corner of the TA parkinglot.

 

Geez, worse thing you could ever do is ride a Greydog. It was a 30 hour busride for me. Met 2 drivers on the way to orientation at CR England. We had a kid go nuts and confront the busdriver because he thought the busdriver was lost. I'm sure glad those England recruits were there.

It seems that every weirdo on the planet is on a Greydog. This girl sat next to me with this baby that never moved. Never. The whole night. I was thinking, "Is this girl carrying around a dead baby?"

If I can help it, I will NEVER, N-E-V-E-R, ever ride a Greydog again.

 

My ride up there 2 weeks ago wasnt bad. But there are no words to describe my experience coming home weds. But its the company dime so no #####ing from me. I could fly but that money is reserved for payig stuff off. Hopefully the by time i leave tomorrow night most of the ppl going back home for the holidays will have died down alot.

 

Tell me about the ride home...would like to hear it.

 

I have ridden the grey dog many times and have seen those people. If you are sorta chunky like I am, people will not sit with you unless they have too. Fortunately for me. Good luck with adventure at PGT and thanks for your service to the op.
