My example was just to point out that only looking at calendar vs duty period is very short sighted. Duty/trip rigs are very important. A 3 day trip paying 10 hours means maximum 35 hours TAFB. Check in 11pm day 1, done day 3 10am, yes, it is a 3 day trip but gone from home only one full day. If you have no Trip rigs: check in at 1am day one, work till 11pm day two, TAFB 46 hours. Pays 10 hours, gone from home 2 whole days.
