Other Methods of Transportation?
- Bus - The Bus is a very good
means for discounted and reliable travel after your delivery.
Greyhound
offers a national Bus pass to allow you unlimited bus usage for the time duration of the pass.
Bus
Pass Pricing. By using the bus pass, you will have additional
expense in the form of taxis and shuttle services to and from pick up and
destination. For additional discount details on bus programs, please
check with the Horizon recruiting department.
- Plane - Air transportation is an
excellent method of transportation. However, it can be costly and vary in
accessibility based on available seats and timing of ticket purchase. Air
travel is recommended to senior drivers 62 and older. At this age
requirement, most air carriers will offer a discounted pass book for
travel within the 48 states.
2 good websites for discounted airfare are:
Priceline
and
Hotwire
- Rental Cars - Rental cars can be
a great source of return transportation based on one way pricing. This
method works really well when more than 1 driver shares in the fixed cost
of the daily one way rate. Daily rates vary, you will need to check with
your rental car company preference for daily one way pricing.
Hotwire is a
great way to get good rental car rates.
- Train -
Amtrak also offers a
national pass. Although this is a viable means of travel, traveling by
train can be inefficient based on the locations of the stations in
proximity to delivery points.
- Reload- Most of the loads
originate in Indiana and Oregon, however, there are many
available re-loads,
nationwide, through our re-load dispatch. We try to keep you loaded as much
as we can in an attempt to reduce your deadhead mileage.
- City buses, shuttles and taxis -
There is a local shuttle service that will bring you out to Wakarusa from
the Elkhart bus station and South Bend airport. Information will be
provided at orientation. Using the city transit systems effectively will
help you reduce your transportation expense.
