    I live in Murphy NC. I hope to be driving out of Cleveland Tennessee or Chattanooga tn. On my home time, do I leave the truck in Tennessee and get back in my vehicle for whatever time I have off or do I get to bobtail home?

    Also, What terminals are best/closest to that area?

    I seriously doubt they would let you use their tractor, fuel, etc. as a vehicle for personal use.

    They would want you to take a trailer home.....but might let you bobtail. I forget the policy on this.

    The company does have a drop yard/terminal in North Carolina. I forget where.

    The primary means of getting you home is bobtail to home if within about 150 miles after delivering a load. Looks like you are close to the Tunnel Hill, GA terminal. There is also parking at the terminal for your car.
