My 2¢

One common terminal ALWAYS goes to the line (power source) hot (usually
black).

The white from the line ALWAYS goes directly to the device being
controlled (ie light)

The the common terminal on the other 3 way switch ALWAYS goes to the hot
side of the device being controlled (ie light)

The travelers (other two screws on each switch) are connected to each
other.

This is not always true. There is one setup that's different. Both hot
and neutral connect to each switch (NOT to common). There is only one
traveler, between the common terminals with the light in the middle of it..
