We are in flex-up months. Lines average 85 hours. Lines in high 70's are few and far between. I like to bid 3-day trips on the same days every week... for example Thursday-Saturday or Sunday-Tuesday. These types of pure/consistent lines are usually high credit (85+). They might have a 2-day and a turn or two sprinkled in there. The 2-days and turns are easy to drop or trade for during step trading. Last resort, turns and some 2-days are easy to give away p2p.

If they would ever write consistent & pure 3 on / 4 off lines worth 75-78 hours, I would bid those and save them and myself the time with step trading. But, since they insist on writing loaded lines, some of us have to put in the extra effort to whittle away at them by any means necessary (carry-in trips, bidding lines with trips that are easy to give away, sprinkling vacation days here and there, etc.).
