    Thx my friend. Piece of cake. Whole story... Terminal about 30-45 mins away. Left almost 2 hrs early. Storms in area. First route became a parking lot to highway. Turned around. Second route got us on i77. Another parking lot! Full load trailer tipped & covered road w hot dogs. Road shut dwn. Of course missed bus. Called in explained & apologized. New ticket issued arrive late sun nite. Hate missing appointments! Thk **d I've travelled for yrs. Bus attendant nasty to everyone in front of me. Smiled said gd morning was polite & she was a gem! Like it or not we are in a people biz.
    Ohhhh, tip over not CR!

    Well I can say I have experianced some of truckings trials now. We where delayed and waited on our first lod for 14 hours so I drove till 1:00 last night then my trainer took over. Right now I am working on my 10 in the sleeper then we swap this load with another driver and start heading to crswvc. I have to say I was amazed that there is so much to do when driving a truck I did not feel tired til I stopped to change drivers.

    THey were going to let you take the Amtrak? Out of curiousity, I looked online at the Amtrak Schedule vs the Greyhound. Amtrak is cheaper, but Im sure CR gets a deal with greyhound, so not sure if my recruiter would go for that or not.

    If u choose alternate transpo, even less $ than dawg, u pay & cr reimburses after 2 wks. My original bus schedule was less time. Not now. Standing at 46hrs due to equipment. I'll be fun mon. Where would U originate ?

    I'm leaving from Lima Ohio. But looking at the schedule it has a 4 hour layover in Columbus Ohio. Which is only 2 hours from Lima. So I may just have the recruiter get me a ticket from Columbus and have the family drop me off in Columbus. Other then that. Only one transfer in Denver for an hour. So its not terrible. Knock on wood.
