Not sure if this is the same for all charter companies, but with the few I have dealt with a lot has been the same.

When we are going out of state (example: Midwest or St. Louis or Atlanta) we call up the bus company we are dealing with, give them the itinerary (Leaving at x AM from X place, going to X Place for such and such a time). They give us a quote that covers the bus and the drivers. We have to provide a hotel room for the driver (s).

The bus drivers usually come in and checked out the event for a time and then go on their way until we need a ride back to hotel or home.

I haven't dealt with sending a bus back home for the day, we keep them with us the whole trip, usually because we are far from home.

Most bus companies are pretty helpful when setting you up with them.
