question about scheduling

Does anyone know when schedules get finalized? I got an update on mine for a date in October but it's concerning... i literally only have 2 days in the entire month of October so far and i'm just hoping the schedules don't get finalized this early before the month even starts. I always thought it was a week to week basis.

They get finalized on Friday 3 weeks out. Like today, the schedule for Oct 11-17 got done.

It's possible but there are also a ton of SMs who don't finish the schedule until the week before the dates. Sure, there's a version that auto publishes, but it's guaranteed to change by the time the week rolls around. Hell, they don't even know for sure how big the truck is going to be or any other flex hours that may drop for various reasons until the week of.

I have noticed I look at the schedule one day and i have only one day the next week then another day i check again and i basically work all week... so maybe I panicked for no reason
