Some runs are that way. Others have you actually living at the outstation. In this case you would show up at the airport in the evening, fly into the hub, go to a layover where you may or may not get legal rest, depending on the run. Then fly back out in the morning and go home for the day. These types of runs generally start on Monday evening and finish on either Friday or Saturday morning. The ones like you have described would be like the DHL runs in Dallas which start at DFW on Monday morning and finish back in DFW on Friday night.
And then there are runs such as in SUS where you take off in the afternoon and fly a round robin to two or three cities and come back to SUS that night and never have a layover.
