The only method I see is that if it starts with a zero it is a broken trip created by scheduling or crew tracking. They are often shorter and have lots of soft credit. They are often sent out on green slips when reserves are exhausted. They are generally the byproduct of either undermanning or over-optimized line construction and tracking having to “run and gun” to make the operation work.
