If i picked a date to do a shop can I do it a day earlier if im in area of shop? Where it says start shop do i go to that when im at shop or just to turn in report

I'd say check with your scheduler. I have many companies that are fine with a job being done a few days before the due date, so therefore I actually pick the final day as my date, then they are happy when I have them done early. I've found on this platform, the companies I've done work for are funny about it being done before the day selected. I have noticed that we have the option to reschedule jobs once each job. So maybe try that route if you need to do it a day early, if the scheduler states it has to be done the date picked.

When you are doing the report is when you fill in the "start shop" and "end shop" sections, unless you are doing the report right then. Start and stop are the times in and out.

A tip I picked up from this forum (I think from Ivan) is when selecting the shop date from a range of available dates, I pick the first or second day of the week, rather than the last day. That allows for any issues on the actual shop date (in case the location is closed, I forgot something, etc), and the schedulers get the shop done as soon as possible. It does seem that since I've been requesting shops this way, I am getting more assigned to me.
