- Cannot get enough sleep to safely operate the bus (5 -6hr) even though they tell you that you will get adequate time to rest (They will call you back to work 8 hours of being away from work at times (9 hours on average); 1hr to get home - 8 hours left, 1 hour to get back to work - 7 hours left, 30 mins to 1 hr to get ready for work, 6.5-6 hours left, 30- minutes to unwind - 6 hrs left, 20 minutes to fall asleep - 5.5 hours left to sleep! <- and that's if you don't live too far away from the garage)
- The extra board is stupid and an outdated way of scheduling which creates unpredictable work assignments causing lack of sleep and inability to prepare for routes beforehand; it also contributes to sleep deprivation
- You have to play games with dispatch to get your 1 day out of 7 off from work (it really should be 2 days considering the sleep deprivation)
- The appalling displays of poor customer service, rude, and downright mean-spirited behavior from terminal workers, fellow bus drivers, and supervisors is enough to make you embarrassed to where the Greyhound uniform
- Buses are raggedy and have a bad turning radius except for Prevost X3 which is almost exclusively on the east coast and "important cities"; don't ever drive 102-DL3 with Zf transmission (so terrible going into loading slip on incline!)
- The garage has an unorganized method of passing out buses; buses are either late, dirty, or unacceptable for the passengers
- They claim that they are shorthanded and that they don't have workers, however they have multiple workers spread out sitting up in foreign terminal cities doing nothing!
- They have a drive cam on the bus so that they blame you if you hit a deer -_-
- The Greyhound safety men are "out to get you" (they should be concerned about the lack of sleep drivers have but what evs)
- The department of transportation/ state troopers are out to get you too
- Extremely weak union even though they pretend to be so tough (they let the abuse from dispatch/Greyhound happen to drivers)
