Buddy on a FDO line (fixed day off, where you get a block of either 18 on/12 off, or 9 on/12 off/9 on; long call reserve days) picks up stuff on his days off. It sounds like premium OT is essentially non existent. OT is there, like other say, but not necessarily great. Also people post their own trips for someone to pick up. I don’t consider that Open Time, but some people use the term interchangeably.
Anyway out here on the west coast, lots of 10hr 2 day redeyes going east. So if you’re making guarantee and pick up 2 of those on days off (open time, or someone posts for pickup), that’s 95 hours.
