I try for “1 and done” trips, OR max 2 legs with minimal sit/bag drag.
Im rarely, if ever as tired as I was at the regionals doing 5-6 legs a day, hours of dots, 10-11 hour overnights EVERY night, 11-12 days off a month, etc.
Anecdotal;
2 friends of mine hired (1 FX, other UPS) same time I was hired here. I was commuting to the west coast. They could both hold mostly day time/minimal backside while I was still doing redeyes.
Never mind how they’re able to shorten up their trips with DH deviation banks, etc.
