    I had a question about home time. While you are out, lets say arizona, not exactly at your house. Are you able to use the truck to move about the city you're in? or does the truck have to be stopped at all times while you are on home time?

    Are you asking if you can use the truck as a personal vehicle, help a friend move or run a quick load for some extra cash?

    Just as a personal vehicle to get to the store and stuff. Like if I am taking home time in a different state and not home to use my own car.

    Sure - it’s cumbersome for a shopping buggy though.

    Ask your company first. If it’s a company truck that is.

    Company policy dictates that. On a side note Uber is a wonderful thing. Plus you can enjoy yourself and not worry about the truck.

    As for a hotel stay i get what i would want, need from a C store before i check in. Then galavanting around town, sightseeing, going out to eat i normally do via Uber. You can also make friends with the hotels shuttle driver...get yourself free trips to and from the Subway/ Mass transit on his way to/from the airport
