My NEW driver training at Prime!

Yeah I was originally going to drive but the recruiter I had spoken to told me to plan on being out at least 8 weeks before going home (my first time out) I will be a student needing my CDL License. I thinks it's a better idea to suck it up & take the bus. Luckily I'm only about 4 hour drive from there so I won't be on the bus for too long if things go smooth.

 

Think about that .. If ya drover yer car there ... How would ya get it back home??

 

Understood, but unfortunately for me I live two days (almost, by personal auto) and likely longer journey if done by bus .. so taking the bus in not my first choice.

 

Then Fly, whatever Prime doesn't reimburse, claim on yer taxes as work related expenses.

 

Check with your recruiter to be certain, but others have said that Prime will give you the cash value of the Greyhound ticket if you make your own travel arrangements.

A quick look at Greyhound and Expedia indicates that you would have to pay about $200 yourself to fly.

 

Agreed, and yes, I too was related the cost for "work related expenses"... thanks

 

Yea, I was looking over the "fly price" with my "Best Half" this morning, as she is for me flying instead of driving, or the bus.

I've got a couple months to chew it over, we'll see what works out. At least I know I have "options". Thanks.

 

Hmmm... thought we'd covered that in there. Mostly trying to get folks to actually open that one up. Most questions from newbs repeat themselves, and get buried in threads like this. In a year, this one will be buried 3 pages back, and we'll be answering the same questions again. The "What to Expect" thread is an attempt to get as many of the FAQs answered once.

 

4 hour drive in your persnal vehicle. Wil prolly equate to an 8 hour bus ride.. Goto the greyhound website and see how long the trip is by bus

 

Way ahead of ya already done checked 4 to 4.5 per the dogs website
