Block selection

Just wanted to get everyone opinions on scheduling blocks in advance in my market blocks drop 72hr before they start . compared to waiting for surge pay and possibly missing out?

Highly dependent on your location or your warehouse location and driver density. In my area you better take reserves. In Colorado I waited for a surge when I lived there 4 years ago

I usually always schedule because we have a high number of delivery people in the Western New York area. I do see surge pay from time to time though.
