Hello guys and gals of the trucking world.Its been awhile since I have posted,however I read alot of the post. My concern is all of the Topics on drug testing, and it is a legit concern. I understand the concerns if its concerning medications that you may be on , like certain medications for depression, anxiety and etc,(I hope I said that right). Most of the questions asked is in regards to marijuana and probably others. Its one thing if you have stopped using ,(the best thing to do is wait till you have totally let your drug of choice go) to me that way you have given yourself the opportunity to not have to worry about the drug test. However if your trying to space it far enough apart so you can pass the test and use then you are doing yourself and all those out on the road a very big dis-service. I am not bashing any one with this subject just trying to help you be able to get on down the road and stay gettn on down the road. Theres alot going out on the road these days and if you truly wanna be a PFR you will need to be prepared for what is thrown at you, and thats including random drug test. Hope every one is staying safe out there and making money.

Because there is a big difference between a hair test and a urine test in terms of wait times, the risk of failure and that its kind of a known unknown.
