Maritz P6 shop limitation

I have 50 shops for the Tiger client. I can not see anymore P6 shops for this client. I can see P5 and Q2. I'm thinking that I must be at a limit and once I shop some locations I will be able to see more. Has anyone else had this happen?

I have done gas shops for this MSC for 4 years and still can not figure out why or when shops appear on the job board. I believe there is a limit but I think it is closer to 75. This month, after I received my pre-assigned shops, only 2 additional fairly remote shops appeared and I believe they were Q2. I'll keep looking as I wouldn't be surprised if additional shops magically pop up.

50 is a limit for one specific project at one time with this client. Once you perform one, you will then be able to take another. Then, there is another number, like 75 which is a max. You can have 50 P6's and 5 Q2's, just not 51 P6's and 4 Q2's.

I will never get why mscs don't want good shoppers to do as many different locations as possible. Fresh eyes perhaps but that is what location rotation is for if they are different locations who cares.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

Well, as of this morning, I have over 80 shops to perform. Of those, there are a bit over 50 that are the "Blue" station for June, some "green" for June and the remainder "yellow" due in May.
I only see one "blue' shop for June, while there are many more "yellow" for May and June.

So, I am confused to what is an acceptable amount.

It is confusing. Right now I'm also over 80 shops for June, turned down a route of 30 + and just offered another small rout of 5. If they have rules and limitations then they seem to break them based on need. It seems that it might be possible that they offer more shop to good shoppers. Why not?

Here is another aspect of limitation: I know that the "blue" shops say the shopper cannot do more than 10 shops in a day. But, I've done 15 shops in a day. How? I did 8 "blue", 3 "green" and 4 "yellow". My interpretation is that since the 10 shop limit only refers to "blue" shops, I can add other shops of the same MSC without problem.

The 10 shop limit has no effect on me. The most I've ever done is 8 shops in a day and that was on a longer route. I have no desire to work a 10 or 12 hour day doing 15 shops, I'm happy with 5 or 6, most of them local. But that is just me..

I like to do between 4 to 6 shops in a day. But, I have a few shops that make sense to do 8 in a row as they are within minutes of each other on the same road. the 15 were something like that. It was a long haul and I took the next day off.

I don't believe they count bundles as being part of the 75. Right now, I have 104 shops (guess what my favorite MSC is?) scheduled. 17 are part of two bundles for the client that very recently just had bundles offered. I have 17 shops left in another bundle for another client where the shopping date began 5/1. I can still select shops on the board, but figure I am actually at "70" right now in regards to what counts toward the limit.

It'd be nice if there was an easier way to know the limits!

I'm wondering if it has something to do with picking up the shops through my phone. When I was picking up the shops I got a message stating that the shops could not be assigned and someone would call me ( I've been shopping with Maritz many years and can self assign).

Then I remembered that this same thing happened a couple of months ago while using my phone to pick up shops. When it happened before all of the shops were added even though I got the message that someone would call me. So, I looked under my current shops and all the shops were added this time too.

But, I've never had it disable me from viewing the rest of the monthly shops while still being able to see quarterlies and P5 shops. I called in and talked to team 3, but they didn't know why I can't see P6 anymore. She mentioned something about 70 being the limit.

I appreciate everyone's input. I love finding out hints and tips from other shoppers

Do you guys use your tablet for yellow? I've only done one yellow because of the inconvenience of using my tablet and because they don't seem to pay as well as blue and red do.

Yellow, red, blue?? P Q ?? Ok im new. Explain please

We can not openly state that this or that MSC does this or that contract for a merchant. We state other things that those of us are used to things easily recognize and understand what we are saying.
P stands for Period, the periods vary according to the contract. For one company a period can be a month for another a quarter (3 months). and for another, it can mean 6 months.Q is standard normally means Quarter.

Is everyone doing these gas shops for $10-$12?

I did a few for that price to start, but now I'm doing most of them for a bonus. $20 or $25 each. I'm still pretty green, so that may not be as high as some. I've also had a few bundle offers accepted.

Thanks LW for the info.

I only do that price if it's local by my home. I am a route driver so I look over the map for isolated locations, that are hard to get done. I make the majority of my money AWAY from home.

Thanks F and L

It's hard to know how much to bid. But here is the best tip I can give you. watch the dates of the periods. The closer to the end of the period, the higher the bid/incentive. I routinely make 40-60 for brand V and C. But here's the trick, pick the brand that's nearing the end of the period and bid on those. Amazingly, enough Even brands M and C can be incentived up to 50 but it's not common knowledge. It's usually only offered to the best agents who routinely pick up shops for them. Always freely do one of the local ones for base pay so you will get the emails that the schedulers send out that have incentives that are not placed on the board. It helps that this IS my full-time job too. So I can put together a last-minute route that helps a scheduler out. IF you're doing this part time you probably won't make the kind of money full timers make.[prntscr.com]
I'm pretty sure I'm not the highest paid (or the lowest paid). I had to slow down because I was getting brain fried.I still do jobs for other MSP's as well, MF, CI, TS, and ACL are the main ones.

That was very helpful.

Sure was, thank you so much. Yes this is part time for me. I'm in the northeast and iI shop between 3 nd 10 stations a week. Mostly they''re less than 20 miles from me. I'm limited to weekends that im not on call unless theyre along my daily commute.
