CS puts trip on line to show 1930. (illegal).
I call them at 1801 and say I'm promptly available.
CS: Cool, you're trip is at 1930.
Me: On my way and I'll take assignment pay please.
Ideally you would know that the trip is there before you make that phone call. Then you get into position for the trip and call them at sometime after 1930. Makes for a much stronger case that it was an illegal assignment.
