I am in a similiar situation as you are. Went to a group interview thing at Greyhound the other day and talked to them for a little bit. I always wondered why Greyhound drivers looked like they were on welfare, and now I know. They called me back today and offered to send me to their training center in Alanta for thirteen days to learn how to drive and then like five weeks of real world training. What really disturbed me was that the hiring lady told me that the whole time in training the driver only receives $30.00 per day. At first I thought this was a joke, but nobody was laughing. They are union but have no pension and crappy health insurance. They made it seem as though they were looking for slaves rather than drivers. I have no idea about the hours of service for motor coach operators, but I was instructed that as a new extra board operator you will only get nine hours off between shifts unless you run out of hours and need a restart. Is that even legal? Oh yeah, also they can/will send you to any terminal that needs help and keep you there for up to thirty days. Suppose that means you can not go home. Where do I sign up, huh?
