As near as I can tell, the "station" he's going to is a gas station/convenience store that, I'm guessing, also sells bus tickets and has a place to put baggage, which makes them "a greyhound station." My bet is that if he can get his box there, they'll give it to him, but getting it there - and having them help him get it there - may be the bigger challenge. This is assuming they find it at all. I really hope you guys declared full value and got insurance with the box. That's an expensive bike to not insure.

Wait, it's another loving gas station? That makes no sense, unless they've got like, a warehouse/storage room or something.  Although, from my travels, there were a few freight stops in the middle of nowhere like that, so it may be the case.

Ogallala Greyhound lists a local phone number while North Platte lists the generic 800 number. That leads me to believe that it is staffed by someone who works for/represents greyhound unlike North Platte.

nm posted:Ogallala Greyhound lists a local phone number while North Platte lists the generic 800 number. Yeah that's my thinking as well. There may be someone inside who has a greyhound hat. They may or may not be 100% greyhound, or perhaps just a store clerk who can do greyhound transactions. Who the gently caress knows. Most likely it qualifies as a place GH will send lost luggage because they have a secure room to put it in, vs. a bus stop where a driver is not gonna just unload a lost bag and leave it at the curb and drive away (ok who are we kidding, of course they would do that). Has anyone tried calling/contacting the original station (seattle?) to see if they still have the bike box? What are the odds they intentionally didn't upsell insurance or give a baggage claim ticket because they immediately stole the box as soon as it went into the back room?

So, best case scenario: it wouldn't fit on the denver-bound bus in SLC, so they decided to put it on the next bus or something, and now maybe it's in Denver. In this case, they may be able to get it to you in Ogallala by tomorrow. Worst case scenario is it was stolen in SLC or Denver and is now gone. You'll get maybe $250 from them, eventually, and a lawyer isn't gonna help. Somewhere between these two scenarios is the other bad scenario where you are stuck in Ogallala for multiple days waiting for the box to maybe arrive or maybe not arrive, while it remains in limbo. We should try plan for each case what we are gonna do, instead of being 100% reactive.

Beware any establishment with a permanent "now hiring" sign. It speaks of an alarming level of managerial desperation - you may be shanghaied into service.

"Huh, wonder why the truck thread has 3x as many new posts as the chat thread" *click* "...    "I can't help financially (I'm basically living on ramen at the moment), but if things keep going pear shaped, I have a futon in my living room with clean sheets, and live about 10 minutes (walking distance) from a stop on DART's 385 route (which goes to a transit center that'll get you into Dallas). The Dallas Greyhound station is less than 1/4 mile from one of the DART rail stations too. DICK DICER posted:Phone situation previously on verizon using dannos donated phone, currently on carrier locker metro pcs galaxy j3 prime The upside is your phone will work anywhere that T-Mobile has service, since Metro is essentially a T-Mobile MVNO these days (even though T-Mobile owns them). The downside is T-Mobile is absolute garbage in BFE. kzersatz posted:MetroPCS service is notoriously spotty once you get out of urban areas, sometimes you can pick up cellular service for other niche carriers like Cricket. Honest question, did you work for them when they were still CDMA, or after T-Mobile took over? Coverage outside of towns isn't nearly as much of an issue now that they're a T-Mobile MVNO, but T-Mobile is still poo poo when you get to BFE (pretty good in major metro areas though). They were an absolute shitshow in DFW once you got into even first ring suburbs back when they had their own CDMA network.  Metro's own coverage map shows much of NE is "partner" coverage (including North Platte - but oddly enough, shows Valentine as having LTE), but Metro SIMs don't roam onto other carriers for anything AFAIK, so I don't get why they even bother showing that. I think prepaid T-Mobile (as in directly with T-Mobile; not metro, not another MVNO, etc) will roam onto AT&T for voice, but won't roam for data.Also, Cricket isn't really a "niche" carrier these days. Cricket, like Metro, used to operate their own CDMA network; just like Metro, their CDMA network got shut down after they got bought by AT&T, and like Metro, they now operate as a wholly-owned AT&T MVNO. Cricket is 100% GSM these days; if you're in an area with AT&T towers, a Cricket phone will have service. And much like Metro, Cricket phones/SIMs won't roam onto other carriers (AFAIK). I have 2 phones at the moment.. my work phone is on a prepaid T-Mobile plan, my personal phone is on a Cricket plan. Both are unlocked GSM devices, never issued by a carrier (both purchased direct from the manufacturer - one is a 2014 Moto X, one is a Nexus 6P). Both pretty much always have voice service, but depending where I'm at, one or the other won't have data service. The T-Mobile phone is almost always on LTE (when it has data), and loses data far less frequently; the Cricket phone spends a lot of time on HSPA or HSPA+ when I'm in the suburbs. Swapping SIMs between them has those coverage issues following the SIM. I assume they're roaming onto each other's networks when I lose data.
