What if you are assigned to the trailer and don't have a home and live in the truck? haha. I drive back for convenience.

Had a driver at my company get nailed for doing exactly that... Going home after last stop ran him out of hours. He ended up sitting 20 mins from home for 10 hours and got a violation for falsifying logs because he had passed 2 truck stops since going on PC.
Edit: you may be able to swing it if you are bobtail and going home for home time... Not just the night. But I'm not sure if that is legal either, unless you left from your terminal and will return to your terminal after home time.Tb0n3 Thanks this. -
If you regularly dispatch from and return to the same location, it can be argued that even though you drove home you were still technically under dispatch until returning to that same original location.
I would need to verify this however, i'm just going off what I think I remember from some instance in the past.Cattleman84 and Tb0n3 Thank this. -
Ran out of hours last week at the shipper. Flying J just across the street but my terminal was about 5 miles away. with. my. car. parked. there. Home is another 10 minutes away....

If you had to drive the truck back anyway to pick up a load, drop a trailer, make your way to the next pick next week it's all work and not eligible for PC.

Coffey and scottied67 Thank this.

Also, for some drivers, If you're close enough for your company to stop per diem because you are home, then drive home on PC. Same goes with stopping you from getting minimum pay or layover, if you don't get paid then keep on rolling, IMO.
