Deciphering the split shift
Transit schedules are built around peak commute hours, often leaving operators with long, unpaid midday gaps. We break down the mechanics of daily block schedules so you can reclaim your off-road time.
Understanding your block schedule
Every run cut is divided into manageable blocks. When high-frequency routes inevitably run behind, knowing how to calculate your recovery time on the sheet keeps you from burning out on the road.
Bidding with confidence
Bid sheets shouldn't feel like a high-stakes lottery. We explain exactly how seniority rosters interact with split shifts, helping you select weekly work runs that actually fit your personal life.
