Do not even think about getting into a truck if you are concerned about a hair test. I guarantee all drugs, (even over the counter, although not illegal) will show. Most companies go back much further than the 90 days. HAIR FOLLICLE TEST WILL SHOW EVERYTHING!!!

The American people just need to say"No" to hair testing

i dont mean to pop your bubble but i worked for kroger 18 years and every swift driver i ever seen at our warehouse usally parked very bad also the ones i ever seen on the road were not good drivers rookies? i dont know but you might want to look for another place maybe because they were hiring knuckheads that were druggies? i dont know good luck man john

just shave all your hair off cant do a test with nothing to test on.

Follicle testing is accurate for whatever drug usage is being sought.
Over the counter medications (cough syrup, cold medicines, etc.) have and can cause positive readings for some drugs.
Saliva tests are just as accurate however using some breath fresheners can result in POSITIVE results for Alcohol.

Shaving ones body can be seen as possibly hiding something therefore one can/may acquire a refusal to test which can be seen as worse than a positive result.

I worked for a company with one truck. i was there only driver. i refused a hair follicle test after an accident. does the testing clinic have the power to report the refusal?

Good question and one that needs research to correctly answer.

There are now 5 drug tests that I'm aware:
1) Blood
2) Breath (usually for detecting drunk driving)
3) Urine
4) Saliva
5) Follicle

Personally I would opt for either of Urine, Blood, Saliva.

The international frog population has declined by 25% as a direct result of folicle testing and there are no longer any frogs with hair.

since no president of the united states in recent memory did not have a drug past and the worst truck drivers are the clean cut red neck tail gaiters who act like there on steroids the witch hunt should stop.

That is so dumb-here in NM they can get hair from your underarms or other places-don't even think you won't get caught and they have their ways!

im not saying that im activily positive for any drug, but the past is the past. im sure if person could change it, they would have a better outlook their background. Anything of a addictiion is bad, "OBESITY". A bad heart cant controll a climax let alone a BIG RIG. BIG RIG!!!! my real question is what kind of test is done?

hair follicle test will tell on you for everything 10 years back

If you are using drugs,you do not deserve to drive a truck PERIOD! I was picked from a class of over 500 men and 5 women.......I was 2nd in my class and first in my driving exam in the whole school. Werner Enterprises hand picked me from that school as their top driver of that round of students. I have RA (rheumatoid arthritis)and was in remission for 7 years and never took pills or and drugs during that time(even though there were times I was in severe pain)and believe if you are using drugs legal or not you do not belong behind a 18 wheeler! (except if your on methadone...ONLY ONLY if you use the methadone exactly how it is suppose to be used!)because anyone with a brain knows methadone does not get you high if you are using it for maintenance on a regular basis. If you use methadone casual or in a manner it is not intended to be used...yes it is possible to get a high from it. I have not been driving in a few years because I had a big flare up of my RA and am in too much pain, and will not risk lives for my pride. period. Also, I found another driver at that school to team up with me (a guy)because I never drove before the school and was unsure I would be safe alone on the road(stupid! I know) because I now know that truck driver are the most kind caring sweet and honest people I have ever know(which is why drug using driving pisses me off hearing y'all say you do it)and drivers protected me over the road, and looked out for me! especially when you are what the drivers all call"super hot!" lol So, for me I hate hearing bad things about drivers. Anyway...I still have my CDL Class A W/Hazmat licence and will never give it up because I could go back into remission again and drive. My boss at Werner Enterprises told me that all I need to do is call....he will have a truck ready...even if it is years from now. I am so proud of truck drivers...we are the heart beat of this nation and not only are drivers kind/good people, drivers are professional and skilled workers!

This is horrible and you should be ashamed of yourself!

why? if you are doing what you are suppose to do (not using drugs) then what does anyone have to worry about? being in control of something that could possibly kill hundreds of people, and using drugs? what if some high or drunk truck driver hit your car or your kid's school bus? or you mothers car? God forbid. drug testing of other kinds is very unreliable! hair testing will prove positive that clean responsible people are behind a killing machine. sorry, that is just my opinion...not trying to be mean or rude :)

I Think it is more that someone had done drugs, then stopped and got clean and is worried about what happened in the past. I cleaned up just to get a job and get my life straight, yet these companies don't care if it has been 3 months or 3 years and one bad test and your done.

i think " burt reynolds,sally fields,and jerry reed...aka "snow-man" all tested positive while driving in " smokey and the bandit", i am glad to see so many people are taking sides with sheriff "BUFFORD T JUSTICE!" in here! we need to get these outlaws off our roads!

You are a bunch of stupid ignorant pie holes. DOT and employers only test for a few drugs in urine and/or hair follicle testing. Not, synthetic opiates (except for Oxy)…LSD(which can cause safety issues forever due to flashbacks)…cannaboids…psychoactive mushroom…peyote…they do not test for very many drugs. Basically they can test for either 5 or 10 drugs. THAT’S WHY THEY ARE CALLED 5 OR 10 PANEL TESTS. WOW, YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT. Because you were ignorant... Now you aren’t. Not Tylenol pm stupid!

If over the counter drugs cause false positives then the test is not worth crap! And, everyone should be afraid. I should have used a period. You probably did not catch that. I have no time to explain it to you.

Not only are the guilt charged genius…I meen stupid! One dose not need something to hide in order to be afraid of slander, libel, or persecution. She simply needs to live under any system as full of holes as this one. Did we not learn this in history when learning about Stalin? Oh, well you probably didn’t…did ya'll?

Thus, if one can drink today and drive next week why not do some other drug sober up and then you are fine to drive. LSD’s side affects last a lifetime I have witnessed flashbacks at my job, but the DOT and employers do not test for it. Is this really about safety? They could figure out how to test for it if they wanted to. This is seems more about control. Control of the masses where group thought and idiots rule the day because there are so many of you!

There should be a 5-10 day privacy statute of limitations. We need safe drivers not saints, virgins, or simple minded brainwashed big brother kiss ups! Looking back 1 year does nothing to insure safety. All it does is give simple answers to simple minds. And, those simple minds inevitably suck it all up and then regurgitate it on each other as if it is a good idea.

Really, if safety is the real concern then they need a hair follicle test that tells when the last time a 250+ pound driv

Really, if safety is the real concern then they need a hair follicle test that tells when the last time a 250+ pound driver last had a Big Mac super sized meal or used cigarettes, which are drugs according to a little organization called the FDA. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin and causes fat people to drop dead at any given time: like when driving an 18 wheeler, genius. That fat, smoking, heart attach /stroke waiting to happen, and endangering hundreds of people and their families IS THE BIGGEST SAFETY PROBLEM I SEE OUT HERE. Oh yea, one physical in two years should pick up any safety problems, right?

The DOT would suspend CDLs obtained by anyone over 200lbs and nicotine addict if it was TRULY concerned with safety.

If you are fat out of shape and still eating like a garbage can YOU SHOULD NEVER GET BEHIND THE WHEEL. PUT THE FRIES DOWN...AND STOP BEING SELF-RIGHTEOUS. YOU ARE THE REAL SAFETY ISSUE. Stop pointing at others when you are the size of a house.

Peace to all those who do not tell others of splinters in their eye while suffering from a log in theirs.

Well said my friend. It's nice to see someone has a brain and doesn't believe everything our government tries to shove down our throats.

one persono mentions something about drugs and every jumps on the bandwwagon about how u shouldnt even b driving.. ohhh go fly a kite.. people want answers and i think urs is a good one.. just like eveyone else who does hair testing?? just wanting to know its not a crime to ask...

Well said Bert, its nice to hear from someone one who has an independent thought. Some of you you need to read a book. Hell, use the internet for more than porn. Its like hearing people trash a 16 year old for having an abortion but know one wants to adopt the kid.

If I took vicodin for a legitimate medical condition for several years (prescribed by doc /low daily dose) but have not now taken any for several months now I assume this is going to show in a hair test. Since I had a legitimate ailment for this prescription how is it legal that I would have to explain to the perspective employer WHY I was using it thus revealing my medical history-which is private and safe guarded my HIPPA Laws ? Am I really expected to tell them " " oh I have so- so ailment that's why I was using the doctor prescribed meds "...that is NOT their business and technically if a person reveals some medical condition they then can use that against hiring them. btw this is not for a driving job.

Hippa law or not I believe that u have to tell them because they are doing a drug test.. Google it to be sure but if it shows up and you get that call from the neo they will ask u if u have a prescription for it but if u don't have vaild proof that u were taking it for medical purposes than u could b lying (not saying u are) they're just not gonna believe word of mouth
