If I have a travel job and I leave home on Monday morning and do not get home until after 5 on Thursday, have I legally worked at 40 hour week?

It depends. If you are classified as an outside sales person, you are exempt from overtime. It also depends upon what kind of duties you are performing on the road.

It depends on a number of factors such as your job duties, the reason for the travel and the time of the travel.
