    A coach driver was talking awhile back that Greyhound is looked at as a bottom feeder company as in no respect, the same as JBHunt was or still is.

    Long distance buses in Mexico have sleeper compartments and have team drivers to keep this from happening. They run 6 on/6 off shifts. They usually stop at a roadhouse with a 24 hour cafe or taco stand so you can grab a bite while they switch out. :)

    I rode on an "Americanos" bus that was acquired by Greyhound a few years back.
    The sleeper compartment looks like just another luggage storage.
    A true, definition of a "coffin sleeper" since it's just large enough to contain one guy.

    The ones on the luxury class buses down south are pretty decent. Brand new Volvo, Mercedes Benz and MAN coaches.

    Americanos would be considered "first" class on a good day. Their fleet is just as run down as Greyhound lol.
