The over reliance on drop to 0 is just astounding. There’s so many ways to get the schedule you want or have a day off without needing to drop to 0. I’m not saying drop to 0 isn’t useful. But it’s just overrated when there’s many other means of getting the same outcome.
The benefit of drop to 0 isn’t just dropping all of your trips for the month. The benefit is the grid system with the ability to drop trips within 2 days. The flexibility is amazing and is definitely something we shouldn’t give up in a JCBA. The ball is in our court so why give up anything?
