Actually, that definition is in the FARs. As far as still taking the same van for an unofficial early report, don't do it. Show up at the legal report time and take the delay. I gurantee you, if you go splat, they will drag your name through the mud since you flew without the required rest. The company will say they told you to report with proper rest. If its 5 minutes, it won't matter with the 30 minute van schedules anyway. Any longer and its not worth doing them a favor.
