Just wondering if they give a lot of min calls (ie only 12 hours) or if they tend to assign trips/short call with as much advanced warning as possible. Specifically thinking about the commuting dead zone between about 4pm-8pm every afternoon that would make getting there pretty interesting.
I've noticed that it depends a little on the scheduler, but known open time is usually assigned between 8 and 9 a.m. I've never seen it assigned later than 10 a.m. (not that it doesn't happen, but it's rare). Short call is usually assigned by around 11 a.m. if not before.
