I NEED HELP GUYS!!

Yo. First. Relax. I'm from Montgomery County. Chill. Go to the Mawl. Take a few laps. Get on hwy 309 or 202 and get lost for a while. Oh, wait. That's not very hard to do.

Go to the top of this page and write into the search box: DOT Testing and hit "Enter." There's a very long thread that along the way, has a growing list of companies that do and do not test using hair follicle. I know for a fact that Con-way Freight only tests using the UA because I just took that test in July.

Hair follicle goes back 90 days. UA goes back 30 days. Cut your hair down to a really tight buzz cut and fooget about it or choosearrow-10x10.png a company that only uses UA.

You'll be fine. Welcome to Trucking TruFF, Homie!

I tried to get in contact with those companies and all of them require some type of OTR experience. I just feel like this is a lost cause. I know it's not but I keep hitting dead ends! If anyone knows anymore companies, or if you do, let me know! THANKS a TON!smile.gif

I NEED HELP GUYS!!

I enrolled in a CDL-A school about 4 weeks ago. Needless to say, I have my permit, and I am scheduled to take the road test in about 2-3 weeks. I have loved tractor trailers since I was a little kid, and I KNOW I am destined to do this. With that being said,I am graduating and obtaining my CDL-A license very soon and I am looking to obtain an OTR job with a company that accepts recent grads. MY BIGGEST issue is that I NEED to find a company that does not do hair follicle testing. I'm only 23 and I recently decided to grow up 4 months ago. I know that DOESN'T justify anything, but I WANT this so bad. Please guys, help me out. I feel like I have hit a dead end. I'm destined to do this and I want to do this. Please list companies that ONLY do the required the DOT UA, not the hair follicle test, and that hires students. THANKS GUYS!

I'm really stressing!! HELP!

Okay. So about a month ago, at the age of 23 I finally decided to get my CDL-A. I started at Smith and Solomon CDL Training about 10 minutes from where I live. Spent the first week in class going over the PA CDL Handbook. Needless to say, I got my permit the first try. I am probably going for my road test within the next 2-3 weeks. I am planning and almost confident that I will pass my road test the first try, and hopefully finally have my CDL-A. My biggest issue is that at the current time, I CANNOT PASS A HAIR FOLLICLE TEST. Atleast I dont think I can. I want this career so bad and I know I'm destined to drive a truck, I've been obsessed since I was a kid. PLEASE, point me in the right direction. I need to know what companies only do the DOT required urine tests. Thank you guys, I really appreciate it!

CDL School 4 weeks or 160 hours cost?

Thank you Thomas.

Smith and Solomon CDL Training is 3750 to obtain your CDL-A. It is a 4-6 week course (if you are proficient), and you get a total of 160 hrs. Also, alot of companies accept a recent grad from Smith and Solomon.
