If CMS orders you for a job not starting at your home terminal, CMS must order a transportation to pick you up at your home terminal and transport you to the on-duty location or if you choose you may drive your personal vehicle to the on-duty location. They cannot order you to drive your personal vehicle to the on-duty location. You have only one home terminal. Your "Hours Of Service" start at the beginning of the deadhead not the time the job goes on duty.
