Making plans for another trip Jan 28-Feb 3rd if the weather doesn't freak out. But I've always been going to Bentonville and passing over Fayetteville. So my question is should I go to Fayetteville this time or stick with what I know in Bentonville?

What sucks is that most providers end up staying in those really gross hotels on the outskirts of fayettville.

Lucky you, I'm not most providers

Gross hotels upset me

Just stay away from the MLK hotels

Are the rest ok?

Iridemhard · 01-09-2016, 09:57 PM

Sure. There way more hotels in Fay, but stay away from MLK.

Danielle Reid · 01-09-2016, 10:25 PM

Ok because IF there's interest in Fayetteville I found a hotel from a chain I usually get in Bentonville that's 2-3 miles from MLK. So I'm good...I think

Iridemhard · 01-09-2016, 10:49 PM

You should be ok there.

Danielle Reid · 01-09-2016, 11:57 PM

Now to wait for Arkansas to wake up and possibly show some sort of interest. Otherwise I'm just going to OKC

Well 75% says Fayetteville. Still have a few days to decide...I wonder if that means a 75% increase in profit

Danielle Reid · 01-10-2016, 06:57 PM

And now it's tied -_-

It's a 25 min difference. I don't know the AR hobby scene well but would a slightly less than hh drive turn that many guys off? A lot of DC/NoVA guys act like a 30min drive is make or break for them but then again traffic in my area is also a bit congested pretty much anytime of the day (morning/evening rush hour is REALLY bad tho).
If it does you can try to split the time in both....few days Bentonville like 28th-31st and Fayetteville 31st-3rd.

Danielle Reid · 01-10-2016, 10:05 PM

Yes, its a big distance that turn guys off. Most guys are spare of the moment "lunch break" or "right after work before driving home" kind of dates. I can't count how many times a guy calls from Fayetteville and then says "oh sorry that's further than I thought". Annoying as hell. Plus I think Bentonville is getting too use to me. Cants frequent a place too much or the guys will just wait for the "next" trip. Fort Smith sucks ass so ain't no way I'm ever wasting another night there.

I could try splitting the time but i usually like to stay put when I travel. Maybe I could test Fayetteville and see what the money's like.

I drive 15 miles to go to work every day. I may be fucking crazy but I am considering driving 6 hours (yes, really) to see one amazing provider again. As close as everything in NWA is, why would someone in Bentonville not go to Springdale or Fayetteville? That's like me saying I wouldn't drive to Maumelle.

Don't ask me, I'm not the man driving. Then again, I hardly want to drive to Maumelle and I live in WLR lol
