    Since youre gonna be on a trainer truck, try to bring the bare minimum, melton makes it a point to get you home within a reasonable time frame once you come off training.

    they do urine and hair.

    The blood work is just for their iCare program, which is used to get a base of your cholesterol, blood sugar, etc....this program decreases your insurance costs
     
    hardworkinman Thanks this.

    The hair test isn't exactly a follicle test. They only cut some of your hair and its tested for drugs. I believe it goes back 90 days. The follicle of any hair is the live part which is inside the skin.
     
    hardworkinman and Noggin Thank this.

    Is there a thread on ttr that tells which companies are doing the hair follicle? Or perhaps a different website? I have asked this question in drug test only threads and have yet to receive an answer.

    Thanks in advance.
