I can't call in tired whenever...If it's habitual, I have to see a doctor, etc.
Added: it's not the rest rules that get me, it's the duty day -
In several states, if a officer pulls you over for weaving in the traffic lane, and you admit to being up for over 16 hours, you'll get arrested/ticketed/summary offense for driving while impaired (DWI).
Try explaining that to the interviewer, if lucky enough to make it thru the on-line screening process
