Open time is impossible to get anyways so you're not missing out. The last few months I've had requests in within minutes of the trips hitting OT, today had a request in within 30 sec. I didn't get a single one of these trips. For trips to be gone that fast I'm thinking there's some kind of OT insider trading going on or something. I've lost my motivation at this point.

I stopped bidding. I don’t get what I want anyways. And that’s fine, I know where I’m at seniority-wise. I’ve been doing this 15 years. I understand how it works. I’m not looking for “every day I want off.” I literally didn’t bid for any day off because I don’t care.
All I want is the ability to swap a couple single days around so I can pick up an open time now and then.
I know, asking way too much...

If you want to pick up trips, bid to put all your days in a specific part of the month. If you want days of- bid for them. if you don't care enough to take the 5 minutes out of your month to bid, you can't complain about what you get.
