Yeah I did a urine test for school too. This company is having me do another physical too and I just had one in mid January so, whatever.

I am sure you will do great, I have heard good things about them! Keep us posted how things are going! Do most companies do the hair folicle type testing, just wondering...
I have been told that the hair follicle will reflect the past 3 months of whatever is in your system however, I have long hair so I'm sure there's more :) As long as you're honest then it's not going to be an issue.
Thanks for the encouraging words! :)

I really don't know but the other company I want to go to does too. So, either company I wanted, because of reputation, did hair follicle. I don't want to name the other company in case this doesn't work out. Don't want to jinx myself.

So what company are you with?
Schneider is the one I'm testing for. Hope I chose right (fingers crossed).

Well, looks like I'll be starting with a reputable company. Doing hair follicle drug testing tomorrow - wow with my hair there's about 8 years worth, holy cow, I can't remember anything I should worry about. :) Anyway, this company has a good training program and if I have a male trainer (only one wk OTR & other two is terminal trainers) then the company rents one of us a room each night.
So, that's cool. I suppose he and I will switch nights in the hotel room? Don't know how that'll go but I guess since he's the trainer he may get the room each night? Doesn't matter as long as I can shower :) and, I REALLY like the training program - friend from CDL class is taking the course now so I have inside info - and they're a very professional company. Yay. I hate having to give up on the other company but what can a person do in such situations?
The hair follicle is intimidating because one starts thinking about all the things they've ingested - even when they are not a recreational drug user. I take so many herbs, supplements, etc and I've had to write them all down to take with me and, on paper I look like a crazy person. lol Wish me luck!! :)

Is it necessary to have a female trainer?
I doubt the trainer would be to cool about a video camera. And were I you, I wouldn't ruffle feathers by asking...that is a real sore subject with alot of drivers...
Probably. I don't know that I would like it if I were a trainer to be honest. So, this subject comes up in the trucking world? I heard some companies have cameras in the cabs - is this why?

Thank you! I thought the same after talking with one of my CDL classmates whose training with them - he'd tell me if they weren't good. He used to be a driver then moved to another state and let his license lapse so, he had to go back to school. He told me a few companies to avoid like the plague too but, I won't mention those in public forum :)
Thanks for the support!!
