Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

That was true in 2008-2010. But this driver shortage isn't going anywhere.

 

They told me today hair testing is part of hiring on ....Excluded me Im not submitting to that what I did 6 months ago isnt any companys business considering I did it legally in a state that leaglly allows it as a non driver ..if Im wrong someone set me straight urine or hair and urine?

 

thanks so much for the reply lol MY CDL wasnt active during that time frame and Im very aware of the Federal Law and how it pertains to CDL Ive held one until a year ago for over 10 years Im looking to get back into the business and spoke with Schneider today and was informed hair test ..I was askin in my reply whether that was totally true since the OP posted he heard it was simply urine ...thanks again

 

Even our randoms are hair follicle now. Had my random a few months ago - 2 or3 days after a haircut.

Hair grows at different rates. Head hair grow faster than arm pit hair which grows faster than toe hair, for example.

Longer hair grows more slowly as well

 

It's just ####ing insulting. I work for one of the best driving companies out there, and they don't even go to that length for drug testing. What the #### does Schneider do for you guys that necessitates a ####ing hair test?

Sorry to be profane, but that really shocked me when I found out about it. It's not the FBI.

 

Schneider loves control

 

Schneider gives jobs to slack jawed yokels.

When you have few openings and can be selective on who you hire and retain, such draconian measures aren't needed. When you take new entrants, more scrutiny on some things is needed. Just look at all the threads in the last 3 years about failed drug tests.

Summer 2016 my trainee did his hair follicle at home and was surprised we did another drug test when he showed up to oreintation. His results were slow coming back, but he already had a clean test so they allowed him to come out with me. Two days later he gets a call from our medical department asking if he has a prescription for the Vicodin in his test. Guy says "yeah sure, let me get that for you", then promptly quits.

I think the guy thought he was in the clear and took some happy pills that weren't his, figuring they'd be out of his pee before a random. Wasn't counting on a second hair test. By quiting before being forced to submit the prescription they guy technically hasn't failed the drug test yet. These are the guys we're dealing with.

 

There was a time when Schneider was the best bad company you could work for. Evidently the bloom is off that rose.

And the really funny part of it is that they don't even train drivers anymore. Maybe they offer tuition reimbursement now, but they used to have a really good #### school up there in Green Bay.
