    I am leaving out from DE, probably on the 7th. I will going going 95, to 70 and following this the whole way. Looking to see if anyone wants to skip the bus route and just do a rental.

    Will be stopping one night so you will have to pay for a hotel room for yourself.

    Flying to SPRIMO would probably cost less than the rental would for you, especially when Prime kicks in the cost of the bus ticket. I know that's the case for me, anyway. And definitely since you're doing the trip in 2 days.

    I did the research. With a taxi ride to the aiport and the flight it is probably even. I actually enjoy driving so it will work out.

    Not a bad idea - the two guys can even share driving....

    When orientation at Swift in Phoenix didn't work out, I rented a car to drive back to El Paso. A 12 Hr bus ride back did not sit well with me. Had that little Chevy Aveo doing 85-90 mph and got my poor ### home, lol!

    For the record, Prime doesn't pay "the cost of a bus ticket". They'll pay 10 cents per mile, one way. My wife drive me from TN. Seven hundred & thirty miles got me ~$73.
