    also, on a sidenote, if there is no Greyhound service from where im at, what are my options to get to Springfield?

    Can someone drive you to an area where there is Greyhound service? The ticket is held at the station (computer) till you pick it up.

    The best I can do is take a train to one of two towns (about 40 mins each way) and catch a bus from there. . .but both busses will take me 15-16 hours to get there, when I could drive it in 5, and for less then what Prime would pay for a greyhound ticket (I dont have a problem being on a bus for 15-16 hours, just the logistics dont make sense)

    If you can leave your car there I think maybe they reimburse you for the fuel. And then if you can leave your car for a period of time if you get sent out on a truck right away with a trainer after orientation and classes, etc.

    You need to call a recruiter and talk with someone there about those details. And check also to see if they pay the return gas in case you don't qualify.

    There is a lot that's monitored by security - lots of drivers leave cars there. Prime will reimburse you the cost of a bus ticket (from wherever) for the expense of driving your car to Springfield. Let your recruiter know, and you'll be seeing that, I'd think, on your first paycheck.

    I will be arriving the same class. My greyhound ride is is almost 44hrs to go 1200 miels.. I'm opting to fly at my expense. Its cheaper than driving

    Prime will reimburse you the price of a bus ticket for flying too.
