    If I'm getting my hair test today and orientation is only two days because I have three years experience. Does anyone know if I'll be postponed for the road test because it can take up to a week to get the hair test back?

    A hair test is an optional test, not DOT required, so it shouldn't postpone a simple road test. The only thing it should delay is an employment offer, but it usually doesn't take more than a few days anyway.

    Why not ask the company? They have the answers about their policy.
