    it could be a problem. that is considered altering a government issue document, How do I know? I did the same thing and was called on it. In my situation I was given a free pass but had to get another one.

    Well I'll see what I can do, she said if that's all you have just bring it. I really wouldn't think I'd get sent home over that.

    Probably won't however you should really get a new one because one day it will be a thorn just when you need it

    I was in orientation about 7 months ago and got a smoke break just about every hour. Also you'll be making more than $500 a week once on your own easy.

    Remember to keep your shirt tucked in and do what they say. Everything else will be fine.

    Remember these company's hire you because they need drivers. If they sent everyone home that that was not a perfect driver they would have no one drive their rigs. You are coming outta school. They know that and are investing in you that's why they have training period. They know when someone will make it and when they won't.
