Back to back 4 trips and you can have a 3 commute/12 day month, plus leading and trailing commutes(??), and a 85-95 hr month.
A day of work is $2500 as a top f9 captain. If I have an extra 2 days off with turns that’s 5k. I’ll go ahead and spend the $500 for a nice own room pad and take the extra two days off or 5k. My discretion. I’ve found that’s the most efficient way to maximize $ and time off in my current situation.
