I am catching the bus in Eureka California and traveling all the way to Boise Idaho.

For what it's worth -- if you're anywhere along the NE corridor, BoltBus (part of Greyhound) and MegaBus are both cleaner and generally terminate in less-odd parts of town. MegaBus does stop at intermediate cities, while BoltBus operates out of NY with direct trips to Philly, Boston, and DC -- but I find it's hard to beat their fares. BoltBus also has a similar policy with respect to the time listed on the ticket, space permitting.
I missed the bus and it says if I pay $20 I can get the ticket reprinted and catch the next bus. Now I need one that takes me all the way to Idaho which is tomorrow morning. They aren't going to say the first bus going from Eureka to Oakland right? Because I travel much further and have two other cities im stopping in.
