Getting started with Prime... Application last night, first recruiter call today.

Thanks. I've been reading Indeed for years, typically seems to be another place to spout within weeks after you're canned. That said, there are a surprising amount of good reviews to go along with the bad, for once.

 

Here we go, off to the Greyhound station in about 2 hours.

 

Alright! One hour 45 minutes later than expected we're on our way.

I'm on a completely full dog in the very first seat behind the driver. No room for anything, the lady beside me is larger than the maximum capacity for her seat and half of mine, my backpack won't even fit on my lap, no drink holders, my knees scraping the driver's back... so I opted to stow it all.

We have made it all of 1 mile prior to being earned about the abusive language and smells of alcohol on the bus.

This should be fun!

 

Just kinda looked up at random and we are passing a Prime truck near the Livingston, TN exit on I-40 westbound. Hope it's a good sign!

 

Leg number 2...

Nashville to Memphis, running almost 2 hours behind now. This time I have the seat directly beside the bathroom. Prior to my previous seat I had always thought this to be the worst seat on the bus. I found the seat directly behind the driver is the worst seat on the dog as described in my previous post.

This bus is packed! There are at least five guys sitting on their bags in the aisles and one sitting on the toilet with his bag by his feet. At least I know no one will be using the bathroom this time...

I wonder if the next bus will be worse?

To be continued....

 

Leg 3, Memphis to Little Rock has been very uneventful.

Got to Memphis just as the transfer to Little Rock was about ready to roll without me. This is a much newer bus and there are actually a few open seats.... Of course I'm still beside someone. Got my first 30 minutes of sleep!!!

 

Leg 4....

Little Rock to Conway, Arkansas.. wait, NO!

The next bus is cancelled, so I'll be going to Ft. Smith from here. Layover for 3 hours 15 minutes in Fort Smith, then off to Rogers Benton, Arkansas. To Joplin, MO from there... sit for a half hour, then arrive in Springfield at 11:10pm

Originally I was supposed to be in Springfield at 3:20 this afternoon. I was looking forward to studying and sleeping well.

Hurry up and wait, it's the name of the game. This will not be the only delay/detour I ever encountered in this career, so I get to practice my patience and meet even more colorful characters.
