Narrative:

En route to clt, proceeded to intercept 094 degree radial outbound from holston, mt, VOR when we should have intercepted 156 degree radial on shine arrival into clt. We were 10 mi from the VOR before we turned back to intercept the 156 degree radial when center then also advised us to turn back sbound. Crew was quite fatigued due to previous duty day of 14 hours followed by about 6 hours of sleep. FAA needs to ensure that crew members have reasonable work periods followed by adequate rest periods so crew members can work at optimum efficiency.
