Wise move. Keep us posted. There are plenty of, as in most, Companies that only do UA. I'm not sure how long you can drop dirty on a UA. Certainly not as long as hair. Make some phone calls to Recruiters and find out their company policies. If you are worried about them having your phone number, get a Google Voice or similar service phone number. Google voice used to be free. I still have one I've had for several years. Still works!

I called swift today on a voip similar to google chat and she was ****ing ****ed when I asked about drug policy all she said was that it was very rigorous which makes me believe swift also does hair test..... Now I have like less than a cm on my head of hair this is going to take forever to grow to a 1 1/2" I might have to find a ****ing desk job or something waiting for my hair to grow. I am just to worried to look at the list of UA only companies and have it no be I am so ****ing worried about that. Swift was one that supposedly does only UA and she said very rigorrous so yeah IDK will update come january if IF my hair has grown enough which I doubt. If you know any companies that you know for a fact only UA please let me know thanks. I feel like this post is redundant AF I am just so ****ed things aren't going how I thought it would after dropping all that money on a license

Any way you can find that link for me with the list of the companies that only do urine? I searched google to no avail. Thanks again.

We have that list here. Type "drug test" in the search box above.

From my personal experience, Covenant only does urine and Abilene Motor Express only does urine.

We've had members here report waiting 6 months to test - and FAILING. This might have to do with the weed being SO MUCH MORE POTENT NOWADAYS (that is, unless you're buying nickel bags off the corner).

So our (or my) recommendations have gone up to 8-9 months.

Shaving and doing all sorts of weird gyrations - is still not as good as BEING CLEAN.

As someone else mentioned - get a private test done, if you go with a company that does do hair - so you KNOW FOR SURE that you're clean before you go.

Even though follicle is NOT DOT APPROVED (yet) it will go down as a FAILED PRE-EMPLOYMENT DRUG SCREEN and still pretty much trash your future opportunities in this industry.

I have a full head of hair but it is less than half an inch will they be able to do the test? I don't care if they shave off a piece of my head hair and leave a patch lol I just need to make sure that it is my head that they take from.

DOT:

Department Of Transportation

A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
