Greyhound Therapy BEWARE

I didn't think the gov't allowed ICE to detain people anymore. Are you sure you're not taking them to the welfare office and free housing?

 

They put them in corporate owned prisons.... Greyhound usually has the trashiest of the trash riding those buses...... One time a drunk sneaked onto a bus and sat in the back row, the guy stank like an overflowing sewer, and must've had severe Tourette's, because he sat there yelling at himself for the 3 hour ride between Rochester and buffalo. Then again there is no short ride with those bus companies, even a trip between Des Moines IA and Fargo takes 24 hours with all the stops,,,, most of those stops are in the worst neighborhoods possible, so you have to deal with all the crazies, drunks, and drug addicts. My current company offered me a flight to orientation last year but with all the stuff I had to cram in 2 very heavy bags, plus the thought of having to drag out my CB, satellite radio, phone, CPAP and laptop for the homeland security idiots left me with little choice but to opt for the trash hound.

 

Here's a tip if there's a next time - pack everything you need including clothing etc. into the small moving boxes at Home Depot and drop them off at UPS or FedEx, ship them to your new companies shop or the hotel your staying at for orientation then ride the plane with a carry-on.

That's what I do even going on vacation if it's a domestic destination, cheaper than the fee's for checked baggage and better odds that it will all arrive in tact. If I can't carry it on the plane and I'm not leaving the US I use UPS as my luggage porter.

 

I've taken greyhound twice. Once as a teenager, and again when I started my first trucking job. I told myself then that it would be my last time taking the bus. If you work hard, and are responsible with money, greyhound shouldn't even be in your vocabulary.

My company now reimburses you very nicely if you're traveling from one point to another. They even pay you miles if you ride with someone else to another location. Last time I needed to get from Atlanta to Texas and was paid 600, which covered the price of a plane ticket, and 250 leftover.

 

America Works Best When We Say Union-YES!

Too bad OTR drivers aren't organized... No wonder these trucking companies get away with all the BS they pull.

 

Prof Gringo is right! With Qualcomm, cameras in the truck it is time to pay OTR drivers hourly. Traffic jamb's , waiting time, loading and delivery time should all be paid hourly. None of these delay's are the drivers fault.

 

YES! You are my hero....I wish I could do that! I'd sing THE RIGHT WAY OR THE HIGHWAY....flushing Americas toilet!
