For those of you who are ICs

I'm wondering if you receive all work from an individual work source at the same time each day (i.e. one doctor's office, one national, one local MTSO) -- understanding that if you have more than one source that each one may give the work at a different time of day?  I'm curious because one company I receive work from can on one day distribute my work at 3:00 or 4:00 p.m. and then the next they might distribute a batch at 10:00 a.m. or earlier, and the next at 7:30 or 8:00 a.m., etc.  Now, we have an agreed upon turnaround time of 24 hours and an agreed upon minutes per day of dictation, which is sometimes exceeded and I am fine with that if it is not a whole lot.  I originally accepted a part-time position and agreed to 60 minutes per day.

At any rate, I am just wondering if others encounter this, as I find it difficult to plan anything at all because of their varying assignment times.  Just wondering how you guys handle it.  Perhaps I should mention too that in my case I am not the only Transcriptionist on the account that I work.

Thanks for any responses!
