So much this.
Don't give into the temptation to fix their mistakes or omissions by calling CS to correct them
. Just stand firm on knowing when you are not contactable, and 100000% no-show if not properly contacted.
Its been said, but just for succinct clarity:
CQ/commute end time + the later of 9 hours or midnight, you go on 18 hour LC. If you finish at 0100 on the 1st, you cannot be assigned a trip until 1800 on the 2nd. The same rules apply for any other company business, like mentor training. Page 173 of the SRH has examples.
Also, never, ever, answer the phone. If you do and they are assigning you rest, it starts immediately. If you
don’t answer, it
doesn’t start until 2 hours later.
And if they don’t put you in rest for 32 hours in the voicemail, it’s not a legal test. Call them at hour 29:59, and ask them to tell you “when rest started and ended”. They will be forced to restart a new 30 hour rest. [edit - within 9 hours of starting rest, you must notify CS you need 2 additional hours] PWA 23.S.5.f.2.b
Also, never raise your voice in a fight you know you are going to win.
