Proposal: Pitch Shift

In “Pitches”, add “(Today Only:)” to the start of the first three bullet points.

Then add these new bullet points after the third:-

* (From Tomorrow:) Consider the Old Pitches to be a list of the Pitches of all Trucks at this point, ordered from highest Pitch to lowest
* (From Tomorrow:) Set the Pitch of all Trucks to empty
* (From Tomorrow:) For each Truck which has a Desired Pitch that no other Truck desires, set the Pitch of that Truck to their Desired Pitch
* (From Tomorrow:) For each Truck which has no Desired Pitch (in they order they appear in the Old Pitches), set their Pitch to highest Pitch that no Truck is Occupying
* (From Tomorrow:) For each Truck which has a Desired Pitch (in they order they appear in the Old Pitches), set their Pitch to highest Pitch that no Truck is Occupying

Attempting to shake the randomness out of Pitch allocation: a single Truck aiming for a new space gets it (with other Trucks being shuffled down to make room), but two or more Trucks fighting for the same new space means that none of them get it - and they all go to the back of the line, behind the trucks who weren’t trying to move at all.
