I'm going to get a lot of flack for sharing this life hack. And just so we are on the same page, the bid period starts on Jan 31st. So, the 31st is the first day of the month and it happens to be very very negative. Adding up the negative coverage on the first several days, you get something like -35 or something. So, you can drop as many trips (up to 3 because of the form only has 3 drop lines) later in the month even if they are negative as long as they only add up to -34. Note: this does not apply when a trip to be dropped touches an APD holiday.
