There are couple of rules:
1. Company will set reserve coverage for following months from 4 to 0, max 0 days are 8 per month, that means if your trip touch 0 day, you can’t trade that trip for other trips from different days unless someone pick up from that day and day become more then 0. (Clear as mud)
2. You can’t reduce your credit time below 60h
3. You have to be at the any device with internet at the time when window opens, because most trades makes in first 3-5 mins, after that most days will be at 0 coverage.
Thanks for the info! Yeah I think I understand what your saying on #1. So tell me if this sounds right - the company puts ALL of their trips for the month in the initial bid of hard lines (meaning no open time exists at that point), then when the ILIW opens, it’s mayhem for the first few minutes because basically all that’s happening is people are dropping trips into open time, up until the point that all days are at zero coverage (or close to). Then after the initial mayhem, there’s the opportunity to maybe swap trips one for one that are in open time (like if you have a 4 day starting on 2/5 and there’s a 4 day trip in open time starting on 2/5 that you like better, you could swap that, but that’s really all you can do at that point, correct? Are you able to further refine things in the secondary window? Thanks for the info!
