Mr. Kipper loves to travel, and quite frankly, after he's been home for a few months, I can't wait for him to travel, even if it's just for a week or two. To us, staying on the road longer means more per diem. To some of the guys where he works, they just want to come home, and the per diem isn't worth it.
When he finishes up early, if it's a day or two, they usually have the option of coming home early, or not. He's always opted to just stay for the extra time. If it's more than a day or two, they head home.
Very true, per diem is a big factor for my co-workers and I based on our situation, as well as getting hotel points. After being home for the past 22 days, my co-workers and I are currently dying to be on the road again, especially since we're not used to paying for own food and gas.
