Hi Jabber, Do you mean, why do the drivers do it? Actually, my ex-brother in law drove for Greyhound in the 80's, and he liked it. He made pretty good money, and did a 4 hour run, hopped in another bus and came 4 hours back. Then they went on strike (mid 80's?) and kept driving as a scab, until things got too nuts,(drivers sabotaged buses and threats)and went to Milwaukee Co. city bus, where he remains to this day.
why greyhound? why?

Look at the positive side of riding Greyhound; after travelling with those strange people from the Twilight Zone, when someone calls you a mentally challenged dummy truck driver you'll feel like it's a compliment.

no, why do companies do it?
I tried to apply to Greyhound once, but they'll never hire me -
Taking a Greyhound isn't bad if you have good company sitting next to you.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
I was coming back from Vegas on the redeye and missed my flight back to Chattanooga from ATL. Being up all night I wasn't too happy. Luckily I found they have a shuttle bus (van) that runs ATL-CHA everyday for $50. I gladly paid it.
Are you the one that rides in the back?
EverywhereMan and Chinatown Thank this. -
you don't know the full story

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4146973]Apparently, there's a Greyhound bus museum in Hibbing, Minn.( I know, I'm running) that is supposed to be pretty cool. I heard of a book called, "Hounds of the Road" documenting the history and drivers stories over the years, that is supposed to be pretty interesting.[/QUOTE]
i'd go there! -
last time I was on the bus going to my current company I met these 2 girls and we got to talking, both gave me their numbers.
one doesn't talk to me anymore, I guess her husband started beating her again
and the other girl is too busy to talk, or is mad at the world (everyone thought she liked me, especially after a rumor she spread) -
Lol. Not gonna argue with you because you're WRONG!!! I know it all!!! Lol. Now that you're in a truck and driving, always out back a few bucks a week. Like an emergency fund, just in case. I put $20 a week every week in a seperate account in case anything happens, company goes under, accident, etc.
