Hah, at werner we have a hometime policy with very specific definitions of what a hometime day is: If you get home that day after 6pm in your timezone, that day does not count. If you get home that day after noon but before 6pm, that day is a half day. Now, according to the letter of the law, if you got home at 5:30 thats a half day, but they've never done me like that. last time i went home i did not count that day because i got home at 4pm, did not say anything to dispatch, and it was ok.

But usually i do go home under a load. Sucks but atleast i know exactly when i have to be back to the truck. But it sucks having to leave at 2am on a monday..Hah.

But don't get mixed up between "company policy" and "the law." Company policy may or may not actually follow the law. There is a difference there.
