Good luck trying to pick up open time on reserve. The chances of that happening are slim to none. There is a lot of criteria that must be met before you can pick up a trip. Unless you are on long call reserve, picking up trips on short call reserve is total BS. By the time it's your aggressive pick up window, the trip has already been assigned to a long call reserve or a line holder picks it up. Reserves picking up trips really doesn't benefit scheduling so they make it as difficult as they can
