In May I bid a low credit line and got 18 days off. I had 19 off last November. It's a trade off though. A low credit line pays a lot less.
Every month the company publishes average, min, and max line values. Every line built must fit between the min and max. In slow months the min is 70 hrs. In busy months it's 77. So basically you'd have to work an extra 7 hrs to get to the min in a busy month. This equates to 1-1.5 days.
I basically bid low credit and then pick up an extra short trip if I need the $$. I'd rather work when I feel like it.
Still, bidding a low credit line in a busy month would yield 16-18 days off depending on your seniority and how you bid.
Hope this helps.
