    Hi Guys,

    New CDL graduate here. I applied to Prime Inc. and was approved to attend orientation.

    Turns out, they only provide Greyhound bus travel for out of state orientation…
    Yikes.

    Every trucking company that came by my CDL school mentioned that they would offer round trip plane ticket or a rental car …

    Problem with Greyhound is, people steal your luggage that's in the compartment underneath the passenger compartment.
    Every time that bus stops you won't know if someone is stealing your belongings.
    Carry minimum amount and keep it in your lap or on the floor by your feet.

    As Ron White said "the other night I had to go to the Greyhound station. After I got home, I called America's Most Wanted and said I found 'em all"

    Maybe buy the one way plane ticket ? Can’t cost too much for a one way ticket.

    You will meet your share of weirdos and dirt bags as soon as you start driving, so taking a trip on the greyhound should be a good way to get your feet wet.
