[QUOTE="STFXG, post: 1202362, member: 41750"] I'm not sure about his situation, but I have a driver who takes his vehicle home. For him, he lives 70 miles from the terminal in the area he delivers. The convenience is that he starts at 6 a.m. and drives in to the building. If there is a problem in the morning I can shuttle his volume to him by throwing a trailer on behind one of the other trucks. He is almost always off duty by 2 p.m. So if another route in the area (2 ground and another HD) is heavy, or a vehicle breaks down, I can put volume on him or have him sweep pickups to make sure the entire area is serviced. I've even had him stay home in the morning and shuttled his volume to him when he has needed a half day off for something. Since HD runs tues-sat he can also be called in in an emergency situation and meet up out there for a few hours. Our insurance covers any qualified driver in the vehicle. It doesn't matter if they are on-duty or not. HD doesn't have to return to the terminal at night. Once the last package is off it really doesn't matter if the truck comes back or not. [/QUOTE]
