    Hi, I'm trying to get a job with Panther and am not sure what type of drug test they will be giving. I have been clean for about two months, so I'm positive that I will pass a urinalysis or blood test, but if it's a hair test I might as well not apply.

    Can someone (Preferrably a Panther employee) tell me what type of drug test I should expect. I don't want to fail a hair test and end up getting a DOT Recordable.

    Thank you in advance.

    Did he say he was a junkie or addict two months ago? No he didnt. Having a cold beer once in a while or going to the bars and partying a weekend or two or three or four a month doesnt make you a freekin whino alchaholic. Smokin a bowl now and then, maby going to the bar and maby doing a small line or so ets....to have a good time, get laid, release some steam, get over a heart break or whatever, once in a blue dont make you a freekin junkie/druggie aether. Being so quick to be another persons judge and jury without knowing anything about the situation aint cool man. Maby get some facts before dropping that divine gavel of yours and condoning some one you dont know, know nothing about for life aye!

    The only tests I've been given so far is the Urine test or the (mouth) Swab test. From what I understand, the Swab test is more accurate over a wider variety of drugs, but more expensive.

    Most trucking companies are cheap, so urine test is most likely.

    Stay clean.

    seriously, especially if that poster drinks they have NOT ONE THING TO SAY. alcohol is a drug, all drugs are bad if used irresponsible. just because its not illegal to get drunk doesnt mean its safer then coke or something else.

    Thanks. After going through a tough patch after losing my last job because they finally realized that I was getting paid $22/hr to do a job that a part-timer could do, I pretty much gave up, I didn't want to work anymore. Then I looked at how I was leading my life and needed something to get me out of bed in the morning, so I quit smoking and started applying.

    Thanks for your answers.

    You should most likely expect a standard urine test.
