Haul a weary ass regularly, or every time? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

always

'every time?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'haul a weary ass regularly' is the wordplay.
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
'haul'+'a'+'weary'+'ass'='haulawearyass'
The alternating letters of 'haulawearyass' are 'ALWAYS'.

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for always that I've seen before include "Constantly" , "Eternally" , "For good" , "Continually" , "Perpetually" .)
