    I get more home time than I can handle. Even local day work while home every night.
    Only one teeny tiny little problem. Boss decided my home is a truck stop in Denver. Doh!

    Well so far today, got my glasses fixed / tuned up. I have Brooks Brother frames, something you won't find in Wal Mart or Lens Crafters, that was a few hours and another $35.
    Then had to get a new battery for my phone. Another hour and change, and neither place opens until 1000, when the day is basically over, another $42.

    Now there's only $88 left, and basically another day of hometime shot. Still have to get sleeping bags and flannels from cleaners.

    None of this should count towards hometime.

    And the planner tells me he has some great load that will go out, and another that will come back, so out Wednesday & back Friday empty by 0500 right by the house,
    BUT
    He also has the same agent is getting a bigger load goes for several days, and since the first one comes right back, that day will count toward my next home time as a penalty.

    This is total BS.

    What kind of BS home time is this?

    Ok, Seems we have a trend here, you spend money and it takes up your home time. So it would seem that you need to stop spending money and just sit on the couch. Also don’t answer the phone.

    Maybe if you just quit coming home you wouldn't be spending all of that money.
