You could get a FEW 76 hour lines but not enough to matter and the rest would be on reserve. It's just not efficient and cannot be made so.
and you don’t think the company can edit their side of the bid parameters to make more 2 days? You truly underestimate the power of the computer to optimize and make everyone’s life miserable. Seniority can only go so far and “knowing how to bid” can only go so far. Ie, if the most senior person bids weekends off but the computer makes it so every trip has weekends, guess what, that preference means nothing.
