    figure 90 days hair growth after its out of your system (90 days after being able to pass a urine test). Then 1/2 inch of hair growth per month. If you're clean for 4 months and your hair is no longer than 1.5", you would probably be on the theoretical borderline. As I understand, it will show up in hair that is longer than 1.5", but they only test the newest 1.5". Best is to wait til you can pee clean, then wait 4 months, then cut your hair to less than 1.5" (but leave enough for them to test so they don't pluck your pits)

    Crap bag outfit ?? LMFAO !! To the OG poster..don't worry about the DUIs from years gone by..All truck companies know that the only people who want to drive trucks are,high school dropouts with long criminal records,addicted to all kinds of drugs,who flock to this miserable industry because nobody grows up saying "I want to be a truck driver" ..Hell my parole officer hooked me up with this driving gig stuff.I should of just served all my time...

    Most truck companies are ran by crooks anyway..they will steal,lie,& cheat from the drivers on a daily basis..so two of the same meet.& they become employer and employee

    You are VERY FORTUNATE that Transam gave you a chance, which in turn gave another chance at another company.

    Good luck to for years to come.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    I dont know about Trans am..could be both..I think the UA is the only test required by the DOT..the hair test is a company policy...So when they ask you for a hair test simply refuse and tell them YOUR policy is to only provide urine..

    SADLY and UNFORTUNATELY, there are probably a small minority of truck drivers scattered all around the U.S.A. who have "clean" records on paper, but have never been caught for various crimes and felonies ranging from burglary, armed robbery, assault and battery, D.U.I., D.W.I., embezzlement, drugs and narcotics, and much more serious crimes all the way up to mayhem, rape, and murder.

    I would be much less fearful of this guy coming clean from many years ago, vs. the various people mentioned in the above paragraph. This "dirty" person is much cleaner than the "clean" people mentioned in the above paragraph who are as dirty as dirty can be.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
