    Funny thing, when I was stranded in Denver, my total bus ticket was like 260 or something, I looked up a flight from Denver to Dallas through Spirit, $45.

    This doesnt help you at all now, but I'm moving to Reno in October 2020 and I'll would probably want to do this if you're still doing it.

    Do you allow a 4/3 schedule on this for two round trips per week, or does it have to be 6/1? What hotel do you use in Vegas? That's $265 for Reno <-> Vegas?

    I work as a school bus driver in Canada and as such am required to have what used to be called a chauffeur's license. Nowadays we also need an 'S' endorsement atop of our Class 2 license. I average around CDN $90 per day for roughly five hours of work. My company has a zero tolerance policy toward Mexican Parsley, so I had to give-up smokin' the cheebah. I'd be lying if I were to say that I didn't miss my 'computer weed,' but retaining employment with a big transportation firm for reasonably good money is well worth the sacrifice IMO.

    That makes perfect sense. You have MORE drivers now, huh? Because CDL holders want to be trapped with 50 people in a bus? What are you talking about, man? Having a joint in Reno was a felony 10 years ago, now they sell the stuff legally on every corner.. Behind the times much? If you don't want to do business with felons, go move into a cave. That's the only way to avoid felon cooties.

    Exactly. I'm the only driver now, and it's as much as I need.

    No, because there's no passengers. So the drivers were "more than enough".
