There are a ton of areas where negotiating capital could be better spent.
Yes, we should have never gotten rid of of it. We gave a away alot when we completely dumped the batch sizes. I agree they needed to be loosened a bit, but 5 was more than enough for standards callouts, I could have seen a graduated scales as it neared sign-in time. But no limits is insanity and lots of lost leverage.
Everyone loves to say just turn on auto accept, but it's not always a great option because there is just no great way to have them sorted. I concede that often middle of the night calls are single trips, but I've had quite a few instnace of 3-5 sent out at once. Also, they'd need to make it much easier to turn on/off auto-ack.

Lol right. Logs that supposedly can't even be verfied other than "trust us bro." Scheduling can't get even follow the contract as is, I have zero faith in that log.
