In practicality when you count in per diem, aggressive SC pickup pays about the same as a standard line.
My record is 13 SCs. It can be done but you have to make phone calls to make it happen. I would call them and ask if they could change my release time for later that night...so I could pick up he next SC. They normally just put the SC on my line. I would call after the 1100am run and it only worked if that SC was still open. Now a days, they all get gobbled up on the 1055am run.
