Yeah, yeah, yeah... "if you have to ask, don't get in a truck". The problem with that old line is that you're assuming I'm an addict, or are currently doing drugs. That said..

I was a recreational pot smoker. WAS is the key word here. I want to allow ample time to pass before gaining employment with a company that does hair testing as I will surely be able to pass it with flying colors in the future. I just do not want to risk my investment in obtaining my CDL by taking such a test too early, but yet I do not want wait around for this ample time to pass.

So with that said, hopefully you can spare me "the talk" and give me some ideas of companies that will hire inexperienced drivers that do not do the hair testing.

Hair testing can go back a whole lot further than the cup. A Google search could explain better if needed.

I have only smoked marijuana, and the last time was back in December. Supposedly companies will only test back 3 months, but they could test back further than that. I don't want to chance a negative test. I am not comfortable testing in March, April, May, or really any time within a year's window of time. I'm not willing to ruin my career before it starts, but do not want to wait until I'm comfortable (at least 6 mos, but ideally a year) to take that hair test.

Anybody know of companies that hire drivers without experience that do not hair test yet?

I don't know of any companies that do the hair test.I think midwest coast out of Sioux Falls,SD does'nt do that.You go to their dr a few miles away and do the physcal.Don't think Werner does either.

This is simple. Shave your head. Wax your junk. If you can piss clean there won't be any hair to test.

I went to JB hunt once and a guy shaved all his hair, and when they found out they told him to go home and come back when he had some hair

drugs will leave your body a number of ways, through sweat,urine and hair,with hair you can not flush it out, the shaft of the hair holds it like a record, they can also look at it and tell the time frame, ( the more drugs found at the shaft of the hair closes to the head would indicate recent usage )

Thank you for clarifing it for me.Glad I don't do drugs so I have to worry about passing the drug test.Some are doing drugs right this very minute knowing they'll be going to orientation for a carrier and they think they'll pass.Even students in school are smoking weed thinen they'll have enough time to clean out their system.So why are companies resorting to hair tests now?When I first started driving back in 2003 none of the companies did a hair test.

I heard crengland does the hair testing .But they're no good anyway so no loss there.I'll find out if Prime does hair testing then get back to you.I know a trainer there.They're a reffer company that trains you to get your CDL.Do you have your CDL?

Yes I do have my CDL license, and there are a lot of companies out there that do not do drug test, also I do not know what state you live in, but in the state of NY, the employment office will pay for your license if you are laid off or out of work as a change of career, and if you do get your CDL's do not make the same mistake that a lot of us on here did with getting a DUI, yo really can't afford it, two strikes and you can kiss it good bye. Well good luck

They are doing hair test because drugs stay in the hair shaft longer than it would your kidneys,with enough liquids you can flush out your system,or as for weed, you can wait 30 days and go in undetected, but as for the hair, I think it can show up as much as a year later, So if you are going to do drugs, this is not the type of job for you

You pot smokers that quit and pass a drug test,keep in mind companies do randoms.So if this carreer means anything to you,stop the drugs.If not well then find some other job.You have no business and no right to be on the road if your doing drugs and if u are on the road after just smoking a joint,I sure hope you get busted.
