    I think you'll like it. But hope you're not taking a bus fromFL. That would be rough. I would search airfares and they'll reimburse you up to the amount of a bus ticket. So a $500 fare may end up only costing you $250. Or maybe even just ask them to fly you.

    One reason I came here was for the pet policy and they get out west a lot. That goes for both companies. You won't get stuck running around in circles in OH, IN, IL, PA, KY, etc. That seems to be the drill with a lot of companies. You'll go through the Midwest and East but won't spend a lot of time there.

    Me and flying don't mix. I'm terrified of flying. You'd have to drug me up like Mr. T from the A team so by bus I'll go.

    Eh 2 days. It's keeping up with all the #### tranfers I'll have to do. I don't want to get on the wrong bus like I did last time.

    Delivered today in Nebraska, just got loaded in council bluffs, ia bound for Maine Monday morning. Very tight run. Then pick up in Vermont headed to Henderson nv. About 2900 miles with the deadhead.

    Keep posting here Katrina, I'd love to hear how gp compares.

    Try to only take what you can carry with you on the bus. With that many transfers there's a good possibility of your luggage not making it. I drove for Jefferson Lines for awhile which works with Greyhound. Luggage would get left behind all the time. Luggage handlers don't like to pull it all off to make sure if it's changing buses or not. You can try to watch at each stop, but some terminals, you can't see what they're doing. If it does get left behind it will probably come in a few days later.

    I will be starting orientation on Tuesday June 2nd. I will be flying from Fresno, CA. It will cost me about 460.00 including baggage fees. They don't fly into Fargo too often so I will be a day late, but its no big deal with Holland. I will see ya'll soon!
