I regularly use a 24 hour clock, not military time, I put the : in between the hours and the minutes. I've always found a 24 hour clock easier for me to understand and use. Especially when I was doing fleet service (fixing their trucks) for the phone companies.

In the parts of the surveys where they require AM/PM times it actually takes me time to figure it out.. lol (yes, I know this is backwards from most folks).

I have seen it written as 24:00, ONCE, I was told it was incorrect. Every other time I've seen Midnight represented as 00:00. On a clock, the new day starts at 00:00.

And, more importantly, I have filled out the times on every other shop, and not just yellow stations, with a 24 hour clock and NEVER been called on it before. I also do the gas station shops that force you to use AM/PM for other MSC's, putting in all of the individual times is tedious and my fingers on touch screens doing the same thing over and over and over make all kinds of mistakes.

And, for my final edit: This is my response to the editor saying she will add it to the shop for me if I tell her how I want it to read. "On a 24 hour clock, the hours are 05:00 - 00:00. That is the correct way to write it. I don't have another way unless you want another time zone.
On a 12 hour clock, it would be 05:00 AM - 00:00 AM. "

I have often wondered the same thing as many of the blue and yellow shops are accepted at the rate of 8.50 or 12.50 and the guidelines are 30 pages long. The learning curve is too high for me, but I commend those of us who have made it work as there seem to be many gas station shops available.

I just HAD to post this.....Just received an email from a "Yellow Gas Station" scheduler at IPSOS.....It is 8:00 AM where I am....Ipsos urgently needs a shop done TODAY (2/28) for which they will pay a $27.50 bonus...the funny thing is I had just offfered (four days ago) to complete that site for that same rate (conincidence) and was turned down. I completed the route yesterday...... drove right past that gas station!

I passed by so many locations on my route that I just refused to do because they're not willing to pay what they're worth at that particular time. It's amazing how often I'll come back 2 weeks later or a month later and do those locations for the amount of money that I think they are worth. Different projects very rarely work with each other. They all have their own agendas and their own timelines. I often do the same route over and over again, but only do one project at a time because that's the only project that is paying. I still make more money in the long run, even after deducting my expenses. Even if I did every single shoppable location on the route, it wouldn't be worth doing without significant bonuses. Sometimes I even offer to meet them in the middle. For example, if base pay is 15, and I usually do it for 65, I might offer to do it for 45 a little bit early. But almost always the answer is no. They would rather wait a couple of weeks and pay me $65.
