    Well, as I stated before, I left out from Hickory, NC around 2:30 PM yesterday. Got to the Greyhound Terminal here in Memphis around 1:45 AM. Called the cab company. Turns out, they didn't have anyone on duty at the time, because I waited and waited, and finally got into my hotel room at 3:30 AM this morning. They put me in the Fairfield Inn (Marriot) so it's pretty nice. I just ate breakfast and I am supposed to be heading out to the terminal here in a few, but it seems like I am the only one who showed up at the hotel haha.

    I guess I'm going to hop in the company van sitting out in the lot and ride over to the terminal to see what the deal is. I will post again this evening when i get done with Day 1 with a recap.

    Thanks.

    As it turns out, I woke up this morning and came down to the lobby to find out that the arrival date for the drivers attending the orientation was today. This threw a curve ball at me. I tried to contact the terminal, and with no luck, I drove the company van over to the terminal. There was only one gentleman there when i got there. I sat down with him while he tried to figure out where the problem was. Apparently my recruiter made a mistake in the email he sent me saying that orientation began on Monday (today). Orientation starts tomorrow.

    I decided to take the day to get some rest and try and recover from the long bus ride. My roommate here at the hotel is a good guy, so it has been a good experience so far.

    Tomorrow after orientation i will be doing a rundown of Day 1.

    Thanks for reading.
