Your company throw local work on you when you get back from a run?

I usually do 6/7 days on OTR then come back home for 1.5 or 2 days. Our 1rst day back on we send our employer a message through the Qualcomm telling then our next day home and next day back available.
When I get back at then end of the run, looking forward to my time off, the planner sends me a load assignment for some local job.
I love OTR. Nothing like it. Problem is I'm not big on driving around Montreal the day i get back from having just done 3000 miles.
I have only been with this company 5 months, they are great otherwise, very accommodating, however i find it a bit sneaky to try to get me to drive locally. They have city drivers for that.
Is it wrong to flat out tell then i have 0 interest in city work the day I get back?
We have the option with load assignment to accept/decline, however it doesn't look good to decline a lot.

 

Makes sense. End of the day I'm a number who can make them profit. I'll have to be specific about what time I'm done driving at ... 8 a.m. day back .

 

The plus side is the moment you revert to local, it's 20$/hour, you need to create a timesheet for it.

 

Normally i would, just relatively new driver, don't want to give them the impression I'm not interested in working. I work hard, push my limits most days OTR, just can't be bothered dealing with Montreal crappy roads/construction . I may use your approach though.

 

True. I declined last Friday for the 1rst time out of about 150 pre-plan assignments.
