Status 88

I am currently running solo for a little while.
Last night I did a run that took 14 hours to complete. Upon arriving at the truck stop I put myself on status 88 to get some rest.
Fours hours later someone from accounting called looking for paperwork.
I was polite and told her I was sleeping and on status 88. She said she did not know what that is.
I thought status 88 was like a do not disturb sign for solos so that we can get uninterrupted sleep and be ready to safely drive again when the rest period is over.
At the very least every office employee at FedEx CC should know what status 88 is and not interrupt unless it is an emergency.
