Does anyone have an educated guess at the frequency that this fleet converts LC to SC? Trying to make a decision between winging it with hotels or starting my crashpad search early.
Short Call:
SC is a 9 hour window. Usually 2-3 per month at the most. You can call scheds and tell them you’ll be non-contactable for the first two hours, as long as you’re ready for immediate tasking after those two hours. Then, in the last two hours, if it’s quiet you can call and get released early. I never got a trip on shortcall in NYC in 6 months there.
