I live approximately 30 minutes from EWR where I'm based so I'll bite. This month I have 14 days off built into my line. It is worth over 90 hours of pay which is higher than usual, but typical of this month's lines. It is made up of 2 day trips and 1 day trips so I'm home as much as possible. In fact, I'm only gone 5 nights in March. The best part is having Fri.-Sun. or Sat.-Mon. off each week. Typically I do not do a lot of day trips because I hate doing 4 leg days (most day trips are either 2 legs which is good but generally senior called "turns" or 4 legs which well, stink) and I don't like to spend too much time in the car and parking lot bus. 2 day trips generally are 3 legs per day which I really like. Usually a 2 day line will put me away from home 8 nights a month, put some extra per diem in my pocket, and cut down on gas money.
