    Hello everyone
    I have a question involving D.O.T. drug testing,most companies do a urine test and a hair test as some may know it takes longer for certain drugs to get out of your system then others if you take a test and pass the urine test but fail the hair test are those results put on your DAC report as a failed test or is that something they would only do if I was already an employee,I'm sorry for the dumb question and I'm sure I know the answer already I just wanted more insight.thank you

    Use the search bar at the top, use words like hair test ect... you can find your answers... asking on a topic that has been gone over 1000 times here will only invite crass comments.

    You have a thousand posts times a thousand here on this forum.

    One sentance, hair test 90 plus days. If I was to stop the opiate medicines today I can expect to fail a test of either urine or hair for at least 6 months. Ive been on them so long.

    Anything illegal will show up in the hair 90 days.

    Anything used to clean the kidneys can also be detected becuase the kidneys themselves store certain things that must not be cleaned out.

    If you ever had pain medicine or did illegal drugs, then you know you will fail.

    Companies can put anything they want on your DAC report otherwise they will put something pertaining to a failed drug test that would raise some eyebrows.

    Patty is right. The DAC is not your friend. In fact any company will enter something into it to stab you properly in the back.

    Don't think they wont. You lose.

    My mistake, I meant "Go with a company that only does urine tests."

    I have 5 hair follicle refusals on my DAC. Hasn't stopped me from getting a job. A company can have all the piss they want. They aren't getting any of my hair. #### 'em!!
