Good point, RR's can contribute greatly to pay/QOL.
And not all operations are the same, but many have a lot of similarities. But think about the guys that CAN'T hold 20 days off, but rather might be working 20 days, AND are having multiple RR's where the company can fit them in.
After a 4 day trip with long sit times, two 10ish hour overnights, and a single RR overnight, with three days off, often that first day is a waste because it's just pure recovery.
