    Back to my previous question, Why does it matter? Every day there are questions like this. Jesus people if you are worried about a drug test then you honestly do not belong behind the wheel of anything let alone a commercial vehicle.

    Again,every company does the hair test.You should have thought twice before letting drugs be your first choice.Now when you want to start trucking it's too late.

    I heard that the hair follicle tests now are mandated by the FMCSA to go back two years and now includes the fat content of food you eat within that two years.

    Oh and they are using the hair to extract DNA so they can find out if you were part of the Kennedy assassination.
