Most people can, they just don't think they can because "it's all negative." The moments notice thing is a bit over exaggerated. Yes, some are last minute, and obviously it's easier as a local. With 2nd day coverage, many of the great credit trips are assigned a day or two in advance. The idea that people hover over iCrew and are on ready 5 alert all the time, just isn't true. If you're on the 73N/320, it would be even easier.

Or he got some good reroutes, 8D3, etc... Pay, credit....the term credit is so jacked here. But ya, if it's none of that, then no way I'd work that much. But to each their own, maybe the summers aren't his thing or maybe hes single/no kids. Work like crazy now and drop a lot the rest of the year. With that much pay, they
guy could probably drop the entire rest of the year and be fine. It’s what makes this job great.
