Indeed, that is the problem. If he drove this route once or twice a week it would probably be fine. Every day, perhaps not? Then again, he argued he sleeps much better at home... And yeah, adding flexibility is very difficult, simple rules are better as such. And of course, if they add an exception for drivers to get home, I'm sure the companies would exploit that in their route planning. Not easy either way.
