    the company im going to work for is 3hrs away.
    1. should i drive to orientation(bus ride is 8hrs, yes 8, for a 3hr car ride)
    also i can bring my stuff to set up my truck
    2. when it comes to home time my car will be there, then i would have a hour drive home each time.

    kinda what i was thinking. the 3hr drive home and 3hr drive back to work, do think thats too much. it would be only every couple of weeks.

    i thought you were just talking about orientation. before you drive it up there and leave it for weeks at a time, make sure they have parking available to do this. won't they allow you to drive the truck home for off time ?

    I am talking about orientation. I will check on parking. Im just not wanting to ride the bus for 8hr when i know i can drive it in 3hrs. I would eventually get my car back home, im just talking about initially going up there.

    So when orientation is over, bring your car home and jump a ride to your truck with another driver from that company who's going through your town. They do that all the time here.
