I've never run the 48 states so I don't know how rested that is.
All I know is local. Sometimes it's tiring, sometimes you don't feel like you did anything.

48 states....???
"lower 48" as it was commonly know as.
unless somehow, someway, you'd wanna chance driving that very long bridge to Hawaii or take several weeks to reach Alaska..????
you ran the max driving hours, took your 8 (back then), got up, had some food, shower, etc, start running again towards your destination.
i got much better sleep back then. my current job, i run nightly,. start about 9 PM, get home by about 5 AM, get about 3-4 hours worth of sleep, take a mid-day nap, back to work, maybe take a quick nap in the truck, start the route, copy/paste for 5 nights.

I don't start for another 4 hours but I've got three loads and a little over 500 miles planned so far. I'm thinking this is probably doable in one day. I've been to two of the places a bunch of times already at my old job.

First day of regional in the books.
Not really a fan. Finished everything and am sitting in the yard though so if I want I can run home. I live 12 miles away.

They do. It's standard procedure to only get 10-ish off. I stayed/am staying in the truck even though I'm at the yard. Wasn't in the mood to go anywhere.
Also they're paying my local rate so far. I'm making a killing. Ugh.
I say ugh because this doesn't give me a feel for what I'd actually make, unless they keep me as a local who happens to run a sleeper on the long stuff.

I feel like this would be worth it on the local pay schedule but on the regional rate, probably not.

Haha there's a cable here for antenna but I don't know how anyone would fit a TV in this dinky bunk. There aren't any floor cabinets. Just a little overhead.

That's called surrendering. There's plenty of ways of dealing with a real screen.
hell depending on the truck you could easily drop in a 32 inch surround sound ps 3 and xbox and still have room left over for your clothes and personal belongings and a fridge
