I've been reading many stories on here of the bus ride from hell. ( The bus suuuuuucks but I can handle it.) I live in BFE Southwest Colorado and Greyhound stopped service here several years ago. The closest Bus Station is three+ hours away in Albuquerque, N.M. Denver is six+ hours. Yes folks, It's BFE.... Do these companies mind if you take your personal vehicle to training/terminals ETC or should I move somewhere closer to a bus station? This industry is all about logistics so maybe I should get better positioned? (It's the little things that make a big difference)

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Every terminal I have been in has driver parking and I drove my POV to training. The companies do not mind. We, my company, has terminals in Albuquerque and Denver and we train.
