    How do you fool hair, you would have to grow hair differently than you do now.

    Just like any test, there is a way to cheat it. I don't think anyone here is going to give that info out. I have heard how it is being attempted. One look at a persons hair will tell me if they tried it.

    Why would anyone even chance it knowing that they are going to try to get a driving job??? Are they that dense?

    Hair goes back 90 days. After that it's not cost effective for company testing. However hair and urine masking is easely detected, and if they fail you for it, your gonna wish you waited till you were clean. And dont go to a place that test hair and you dont have any or any long enough, FAIL.

    Even with the hair testing I would have given it a shot, but the DNA is a deal breaker, it's been about 50 years since I've gotten away with the Kennedy deal, I don't need to open a can of worms. And anyway, I was only 7 at the time so my memory might be a little jaded.

    I also heard that the FMCSA are measuring the driver's PP..It has to be more than 8 inches or they can not drive a truck or pass the physical..For the drivers that are shorter than 8 inches,they have a special DOT Approved PP Pump.This is $599.00 payable to the FMCSA.It must be DOT Approved,they do not accept copy's or fakes...
