Pros

Look most americans do not want to work anymore.If they don't like management they find a reason to sure the company. thats why all the jobs left america. Americans are cry babies. Greyhound is a fine company. We look like airline pilots to the public. We have there lives in our hands. That should make you guys and gals feel proud. We have a responsibilty to the customer, so treat them with respect and not some jail house guard barking out THE LAW., They are paying your salary. Most of the weazzles with the company are the regular driver's who have it made. They book off in bad weather and abuse the system. They put in their time and have that honor. However,

Cons

There are a lot but I choose to do this job so I am making the best of it. I have started an internet market business that makes me almost what I do with Greyhound. My life is 100% better than it was before joining greyhound. I own a very nice house in a very good neighborhood. My SDO is a hard ass but if you do your job and treat passengers like people you don't have trouble. To many driver's start out their trips telling people THE RULES. let them know who you are, what you have done with the company, be their friend and they will respect you. Take the time to greet each one of them as though you would like to be greeted. Remember they are the ones paying you,an your family. have pride in what you do, we are the same as airline pilots and we are paid well for what we do. Show it. if you just don't like people. It's simple,Get a new job. You have a CDL. A select few are really cut out to do this job,

Pros

You will receive 9 hrs for rest time (unless there’s an issue) which is beneficial when over the road.

Cons

Payroll discrepancies will burden your time. It’s imperative to check your pay DAILY and submit claims immediately else your upcoming paycheck will be wrong. Do not expect management to help. You’ll rely on older drivers for input on and off the road. Runs are supposed to be assigned the day before and this is not reality. Expect late / early calls with misinformation. Mgmt will not honor your vacation block schedule (Mon 12:01 thru Sun 6am PTO week) and contact you for assignment. They will interrupt your vacation week in hopes you’ll take an assignment. Guaranteed days off are also a cause of friction. When your GDO approaches they will try to assign work then claim you forfeited the day off and need to continue in service. “Based off the needs of the operation” is their blanket excuse. You have to reach out to union rep and push back. If you report Fatigued more than once they will write you up. And this is after denying your guaranteed days off. Training is fast tracked and once OTR you’ll realize how much information was withheld. Especially during breakdowns or passenger escalation.
