Once I drop the trailer in Riverside I have to bobtail to the yard in Fontana and drop it there to get my car and go home. This is where I have the biggest problem. Say I get back at 2am. As far as they are concerned my log book ends at that time. So they want me back in the truck driving at noon the next day. But, I still have paperwork to finish and leave at ICS before I can then bobtail 20 some miles to the Fontana yard to drop off the truck and get my car and drive home. I live an hour away from the terminal (or more with lousy Calif traffic) so by the time all is said and done I am getting home somewheres near 3am.
If you are getting paid to bobtail back to the yard(milage), THEN LOG IT AS DRIVING! Also, finishing paper work is logged ON-DUTY. Stop your log when you complete the paper work. Do that a few times and they will get the message
