Greyhound Drivers........

I used to drive for Greyhound it sucked
you start on the extra board on call 24/7 but you for the most part get home everyother day
You deal with ########## everyday from managment to the passengers to other drivers who will steal your runs and screw you over spend 30min on hold for a dispatcher almost every time best thing I did was quit

 

nothing is ever a cakewalk what to you do when some drunk decides to piss on the people in front of him?

 

You'll need your passenger endorsement , of course . A lot of smaller companies hire part-time drivers . I knew a driver that had casino runs . Before passengers came out of he casino for the return trip he'd put his hat upside down on the dash and put a $10 and $20 bill in it . He got pretty good tips from people that managed to come out winners .

 

So, As a new driver for Greyhound Bus what kinda of Monthly income could one expect to make.

I know what the hourly salary is but how many hours can one expect to work?

Is it a decent life?

 

uh, bus driving?? You may not get many replies on here from experienced BUS drivers.
Sorry, I can't help. I'm just a truck driver.

 

LOL-im sure he will find someone who now drives trucks but use to drive buses....

 

I'd suggest he ride a couple of hundred miles on a bus then reconsider . From what I've seen of passengers unloading at Pilots you couldn't pay me enough to drive with my back to them .

 

Busses are not so bad. I drive for a tour bus company now and then. You have to like people. You get some a-holes. You get an automatic and you sleep in motels - how about that?

 

Ain't no way on God's green earth you could pay me enough to drive a Greyhound, shuttling some of the filthiest dregs across the country. No way. I've ridden a few and I'm here to tell you... there just ain't no way. Huh-uh. Rather haul hogs.

I sincerely apologize for not answering your question, but...



... just ain't no way.

 

May not be a lot of difference in the odor - but at least the hogs are not in the same enclosed space you are!
