Took a break from trucking into another field. Where you do not get tested. Got laid off now going back into trucking. Thats why. Only took a few hits now and then. But has been a few months. Do not want to ruin my career

A standard hair follicle test will cover 30-90 days better wait a while to be on the safe side. Or wax your entire body and roll with it.

Does that mean they do a hair test?

Why are you so worried about it?

"No sir, I don't smoke illegal drugs. I was in a room with a bunch of people who were smoking big fat blounts" Must be second hand smoke.

Just trying to get a honest answer. Has been 4 months and was out of the idustry when I burned one. Heard they can go back 6 months or more. Do not want to waste my time or theirs.

They don't go back that far and are usually reserved for more serious circumstances ie. court cases, contesting a urinalysis, etc. not so much for pre-hires. I can't promise they don't use hair testing for pre-hire but I can promise they won't go back six months. Perhaps one of our resident medical professionals will concur.
