For international I suppose it is likely on your rest in the layover
For the domestic dogs do they pick an arbitrary day ahead of time?
Do they wait until day six?
Do they give a random 24 somewhere in the middle?
Any experiences?
My experience was that they generally picked a 24 hr period and tailored it based on your previous duty or a SC they are assigning you. Or if you finished a trip they may just make your rest 24 hours from your release time(to the minute). Never did they give me a calendar day of rest. Also, if you have 24 hours free from duty on a trip that will count too.
