    Dumb question, but the company i am going to orientation for sent me the confirmation number for my Greyhound ticket, but said i couldn't look it up online.. Since i can't look it up and print it out at the house, only option is a 'terminal' but the recruiter told me all i had to do was give the driver the confirmation number since the stop i am leaving at is a curb side pick up, and print it out at the first terminal we hit. Is this true? I don't want to get at the stop and wait for the bus only to be told that my recruiter spilled out a bunch of BS to me.

    Call greyhound and ask them... It seems your aware of the BS some recruiters push off, which is good on your part...

    The couple companies I worked for out of state I rented a car one way and the company reimbursed me for most of it... You should see if that is an option for you...

    Good luck

    Should be Able to pull it up online with confirmation number. Call greyhound. Not sure that giving the driver the number will work. Only rode greyhound once and I bought the ticket. I don't plan on riding it again either.

    tried to pull it up, it gives me the "Ooops no ticket" so i called them, and then they gave me the bs about not being able to pull it up online after they "called" greyhound, which seems dumb..

    Take the number to the greyhound terminal. I've had this happen, when I got to the terminal they printed it out.

    That happened to me. I had to take a bus from Dayton to Chicago to get my truck. Never done greyhound. Wasnt even sure what bus as terminal was closed. Like 3am. Bus pulled up. Driver asked where I was going. Wasnt even geyhound written on the bus. Told him where I was going and gave #. Go to a terminal. He walked me ro ticket agenr. Gave her #. Got ticket. Sounded fishy to me too but it worked.
