Ok just got to Pennsylvania at the hotel they gave me my application to hand write in. No problem I have nothing to hide but they are asking if I have a copy of the FMCSA hand book in my possession. My bad was not on my check list and did not get one. Can I get one at the company store or what should I do. I don’t like not being prepared. I try my best to be a over achiever and this is not like me I feel like a a## .
Shawn, you are being unnecessarily hard on yourself. If you weren't informed you needed one, just tell them that, maybe they will provide one for you or help you get one. But just relax. Don't start school all tensed up, it'll be okay. Deep breaths!
