John Stephenson is a truck driver. He worked in Texas from April through May, when the disclosure was due for submission. He was on a job site hauling emergency LNG gas for a pipeline, which was a two-month job. He could not print and notarize the document due to his work schedule. Mr. Stephenson could finally leave the location during the first week of May, print the document, and have it notarized. As shown on his submitted paystubs, he travels from Texas to Arizona for another job, and that was the only time he could get the document signed. please waive assessed late fee.
