DOT Drug Testing: Urinalysis or Hair Follicle?

Thanks to both of you for your input.

The list is about a year out of date... does anybody know if Celadon, Crete, or Stevens are still urinalysis-only? thanks

DOT Drug Testing: Urinalysis or Hair Follicle?

To make a long story short, I told them about the test and was booted from training.

Thanks for the feedback. It's what I needed to hear. Moral of the story: Find out how far back they test & be clean for longer than that. And keep my mouth shut about cleaning up. My past issues are my business alone as long as I keep them in the past.

The whole point of the test is go back further to see if you are a liar, and if it was habitual. Then they will also throw random tests in.

I'm fine with random tests. Hell, I prefer them. I'm cleaning up. Would the recruiter want to know that?

I mean, for the sake of honesty... just in case I test dirty even after being clean for the proper amount of time. It's happened before.

I'm not sure if that information is even made public or not.

I understand, but doesn't the rest of this info about testing come from the word of drivers here on the forum?

On the list of companies that follicle test, how about including how far back the company checks?

For example, I was thinking about applying to Knight but a driver on here informed me they test 6 months back & I just can't wait that long. It would be helpful to have that info up front.

Knight does hair test and goes back 6 months so if you're looking to get started before that, you might choose another company.

Thanks for the heads-up. I need to get into a school as soon as possible, really. Looks like Knight is off the list. I know some schools don't even do a hair test, but I just haven't found one that sounds like a fit for me yet.

One thing is for sure: I'm going to have to clean up. I've been a heavy mmj smoker over the past couple years. It's time for me to clean up, anyway.

I remember those days. I had a smoking problem several years ago. I haven't forgotten the worry or the waiting. Check with your companies to see if they do a follicle or ua. Follicle is going to go back much further but I really can't say how far. Good luck Mike. Your goals are certainly attainable.

Thanks man. I really appreciate the the positive feedback.

It looks like Knight and Millis are my top 2 picks

What factors make these your Top 2?

Well, I noticed on the Features section of the company sponsored training list that some companies offer "No Forced NYC", & I thought 2 things: 1) if NYC is so bad that it's in the job description at some companies that you don't have to do it, then it might be something I want to avoid 2) the fewer things I'm forced to do, he better. Again, my research has just begun. I'll research the hell out of something before I'm done with it. It might turn out that NYC is something I'm willing to do in trade for a particular benefit.
