Usually true, but it can cut both ways...

If they call you early AM before you duty on, it might be for a trip that starts early...which could get you done early (nice if it's your last day).

Or they could tell you to duty off for 8 hours so they can give a later show with an even later finish...long after your normal bedtime.
