    No problem they can just use a fingernail....alot of companies are now using hair testing if it is sensitive freight...ammunition, explosives ect...hazmat stuff.

    Drugs can be identified in nail clippings 2-4 weeks following ingestion and can be detected up to 8 months after last usage. Fingernails grow approximately 3-5 mm per month, toenails grow at a much slower rate of 1 mm per month which means that drugs can possibly appear in toenail clippings over 1 year after ingestion.</SPAN>​

    Well happy day. I took2 different at home pee tests and passed em both. I wasn't always a straight shooter but I quit a while ago and was still nervous. I will say since quitting the bad stuff I feel a lot better and seeing negative on those tests just made me feel better. All my hard work was worth it. Everyone makes mistakes, I'm just glad I never made any bad enough to ruin my future. Squeaky clean criminal record and mvr. 4 days and counting till school.
