Greyhound driver program notes May 26, 2019 1. Get lots of rest due to your on call 24/7 2. Know the logs immediately pay attention to electronic & paperwork & learn the ins & outside 3. Dont over eat & drink liquids due to sleepy and restroom breaks along the shift. Keep nice & light but dont skip 4. Dont get frustrated with daily routine outline and shift hours training & people. 5. Passengers are like lost hearded sheep & helpless people. People dont know where they are going , where they are, & need help. Put everything out in announcements before you start/on the process/end to your final destination to arrive 6. Pay attention to driving distractions & cut ins & outside by other drivers on the road. Before you start check your own attention and attitude from the start so you are trainable & teachable. Otherwise you are full of shit and will show the evidence of such a product. 7. Go slow & easy. Take it slow & easy as you drive in all directions & situations. Always use the push & pull technique when driving : push with your left/or right hand & pull with your right/or left hand. Always evaluate & scan your environment & go slow & easy before starting into any situational turnaround & turns. 8. Have fun with the journey & experience! Pay being local & lazy $500.00 Getting runs with a second rest $ 1,600.00 Short runs $ 1,200.00 Best of luck and have fun!
Hey Phillip Cooke , I’m A NYC Resident , Just Finish My Phase 1 Online Course & Passed My Phase 1 Mastery Test 💯 My Class Leaves This Monday For Phase 2 In Atlantic City For 2 Weeks . I Been Watching Your Videos So I Decided To Make A Account And Leave This Comment 🤞🏾 Thanks For The Tips I’m Excited To Start This New Career With GreyHound 😁
@asiamiller6833 I have seen you comment on several videos. How is your training going? I have an interview tomorrow in Atlanta for a driver for Greyhound. Can you let me know how the process goes please? I will send you my email or phone# if you would rather talk that way. Thanks in advance!
This makes sense. Millennials recently surpassed boomers in either working population or age population. Maybe both. In one of your videos you talked about seniority. That’ll be us sooner or later. Having seniority and those good 9-5 runs. I start on the 10th at my local school bus district. I might stay here a year and then go into dump truck. I need a set schedule so greyhound is out.
Hey Phil, i can't believe I'm just seeing this video. Currently, i am a city transit bus operator in Arizona. Before, i was a tractor trailer Driver. I just received the call from Greyhound Human Resources. Interview Next tuesday. Because I have the experience operating Buses, I would be in training between 3 and 5 days.
I drive motor coach occasionally and My company has MCI D4505 coaches .I sure wish ours had the plexiglass driver enclosure ,I can’t tell you how many times That I have has passengers constantly pestering me or wanting to talk endlessly .
Aye my Bro. I'm in my 3rd phase cushioning and route-breaking. I take my dmv cdl test on the 11th of Jan. I have several Instructors that are teaching me alot and preparing me for my test. Me and 1 of my classmates missed you at LA school. We tried to catch on a run to no avail. Nevertheless, I hope to meet you respectfully soon.
@@TheOtakuphill I applied over a week ago and have not heard anything yet? I am interested in the training school. I live in Florida but will go to any state for training
Also the passengers probably don't want you whipping around corners. Possibly increase anxiety, balancing while peeing/walking, writting, spilling drinks...

My brother leaves tomorrow morning at 3 am on greyhound headed for the L.A terminal for greyhound training. We just watched your video, I told him he might see you.
Nice video, thanks for posting. I was considering TRYING to be a bus operator, but i might get nervous in the citys..... can somebody reply to this? Thanks, i think i would like this work. My hats off to bus operators
Phil I want to see more of this, you and those beautiful coaches. Is there a governor on the motors? How does the automatic trans run and pull on mountains? More about the bus and the driver please
Hey Philip would I still be able to apply without a CDL though I am studying for the CDL permit. I recently saw an ad on indeed looking for Greyhound Bus Drivers requiring a CDL?
Here's my question. Have you ever been on a route, and figured out that someone was using your bus to try to illegally traffic someone? What do you do when you spot that going on?
Phillip Cooke exactly how do the sign on bonus go? Instinct I have my Class B with PS and Airbrakes endorsement .. which the company is paying 10,000 starting off because I have all of my credentials and updated DOT Card... will it be broken down or will I receive all of it after 90 days after Uncle Sam takes his cut
@phillip cooke. I love your videos. Im a City Bus Transit Supervisor in Ohio and i was thinking about leaving this to go to greyhound. Your video's make me want to start a career as a greyhound driver and are interesting. The only thing is I am married with 1 child. Do you know people you trained with or who are in your base station who are married and how does it work out for them?
At the time that you applied Los Angeles was not hiring. Please log in to apply.firstgroupcareers.com and withdraw your application under reference 18564. Please apply under the new reference 21637.
Good afternoon Randall, I'm sorry but I couldn't go to my interview today. I was at the DMV getting my CDL permit. Unfortunately, it took me a long time to finish the tests. Is there any way to get another interview date? Thank you.
You just don’t understand how powerful and motivating these videos are. Thanks man
Yes Ma'am. Very motivating. I've been wanting this since I was 10yrs young. I'm finally there at 48. Plugging the board on the 11th. R.B.Jr.
Hey how long did it take Greyhound to contact you after you submitted your application? There hiring for drivers in Chicago and I applied last Tuesday

@@asiamiller6833 yes and it was definitely a adventure for sure. But I got a chance to travel the country. I was with Greyhound for a year

I've learned that lesson when I was driving trucks for walmart
I applied yesterday and was sent an email to choose my interview date 😱
Me too, but when I log in there were no dates available. I called the manager and left a message but he hasn't called back yet.
Rest is the key you are a man of much wisdom

Jessi Monique hows it going ? Was this guy on the level . Making any money ?

Starting training school be on-time. Also remember to be flexible. Things happen, and things change. You will have to be flexible.
Trueanics VVV heed this warning . Your about to get it in the Azz

How does the bonus work do they give it all to you up front or is it split into payments after your 90 days
How tall and weight do you have to be hired?

Greyhound trains more then the police😂
Here's my question. Have you ever been on a route, and figured out that someone was using your bus to try to illegally traffic someone? What do you do when you spot that going on?
Great watch.
Nice video brother 👍
How is the lodging and amenities in LA for the greyhound training and is it two weeks in LA
Where do you park your vehicle when you pick up your bus?
Normally there is a garage.
Phillip Cooke exactly how do the sign on bonus go? Instinct I have my Class B with PS and Airbrakes endorsement .. which the company is paying 10,000 starting off because I have all of my credentials and updated DOT Card... will it be broken down or will I receive all of it after 90 days after Uncle Sam takes his cut
@@loshanikastrong4496 its 10,000 if you have coach experience.

I did that and regret it.Greygound is trash.
Do u know what company greyhound uses to do thete background checks
I’m a bus driver in Ny Tri state area not a bad job but these companies don’t wanna pay.
You seem like you got a lot of experience to be in black and whites. Great vid.
I was still New back then and I didn’t want to pay for the uniform. I have moved on 3 years ago.
Phil I want to know if you're protected in the cockpit from crazy passengers?
Should I save a certain amount of money to start the process with Greyhound?
When do you get your blues uniform
Do you have updated videos
No longer with grayhound.
@@TheOtakuphillwhy? And how much was the starting pay
What is the phase one Greyhound Mastery tests all about?
Covers the first few chapters on safety and greyhound regulations.
Is it like an aptitude test?
Is it hard to pass?
No. If you don't get a parking shoot just check and not the questions you got wrong. You get 2 chances to take it and its online at your home.
@@josephallen9583 no just took it yesterday , 100 questions need 70 percent to pass
im guessing this is a MCI 102DL3?
Hello Phillip, how do I follow up on my job application? I applied about one month ago. Thank you.
