If you're at home, then yes, they count as hometime. If you take a restart on the road, then, no.

With most companies a restart on the road does not count as time off unless you have requested to take time off in a location other than your home 20.

When I was with Swift they would let you stop by the house under load (not JIT, haz mat or high dollar) but when they sent you home for time off they tried to do it empty.
