Don't know. Prime uses random UAs... but I suppose that a company could put the money into a hair test. Here's the deal... if you've been using, make for damn sure that 1) you've completely given it up, and will never go back, and 2) enough time has passed that there isn't anything in your system. Even a hint will blackball you.

If you go the private driving school route, I'd suggest you go visit a number of them, and then decide. You'll probably get your medical done at one of the Concentra clinics. Best choice of drivers license offices for the test is something like Brush or Ft. Morgan. The offices in the metro area are slammed - I got there an hour before opening, and had to wait 3 hours to get in to take the written test.

Indeed I will quit 3 months before i plan on going in for the academy. The agony caused by unnecessary prohibition on marijuana just never ends

Also I'm pretty set in stone for now that i will be going to a company sponsored training. One that will reimburse me for it over x amount of time while i work for them. Hopefully Prime if they are still hiring this time next year. That way ill basically get paid to get my cdl, and at the same time get the invaluable experience needed down the road.

Again thanks to those who responded and a special thanks to you ironpony, you have been especially helpful.
