    Has anyone ever worked for C.R. England? If so what's the possibility of getting a hair follicle test rather than a urine test?

    Shop around if you want to avoid hair follicle.
    Call some companies and ask or have someone call for you.
    Try Contract Freighters; they have their own cdl school and also pay for private cdl school.

    It is possible I had a student there that failed his results came back a few hours after he got on my truck... They terminated him and put violating company policy on his DAC he went to trans am drove there a little over a year and is now at Marten transport... I don't know how likely it is.....
    Now all that said THERE ARE BETTER COMPANIES... Where do you live what are you looking for what kind of experience do you have and is there anything on your record... I am going to tag @Chinatown and he should be along to give you some idea of where to apply

    Thank you.. I don't smoke anymore but one of my friends called me and told me the gy he's training got a follicle test but he has drug charges on his record and I don't.
    also I live in CT and don't have the greatest record. They were the only company that has given me a shot and I don't want to get a fail on my federal driving record.

    Currently a hair follicle won't go on your record as it is not YET an approved DOT drug test only urinalysis is there is legislation that will change this yet to be approved aswell as legislation for a federal database.... I am unsure if a company could tell another about a failed hair follicle I want to say currently they cannot but will change once legislation is approved... If I was you I would make a separate post asking about companies that may be willing to hire you.. give all information that is relevant
    Driving record
    Criminal record
    Experience if any
    Current CDL or in need of schooling g and if you could put your self through school as some companies hire 0 experience drivers but do not have a school program there selves...

    There are alot of people on these forums that can answer the questions but they need all the information.
     
    Eric j. Thanks this.

    CR England did away with hair testing. Urine only. Best company on 18 wheels. You'll do fine there.

    Um... Yes.
    Many people have worked for them, and many do even today.
