Thank you guys so much for explaining all of this to us new guys... I'll be sure to "pay it forward" when I'm squared away and know what's up.

StripAlert - That's basically how it works at my previous company. On reserve, you could request a specific trip in open time the morning of the day prior, but a lineholder could still grab it from you up until 12 hours prior (or something like that - I haven't been on reserve in awhile!). I figure, if there's a trip in open time you really don't want - you can always request one of the other ones, and hope to get the lesser of two evils.

Thanks guys!!!
