    When you go to any trucking school ( not through a company ) do they follicle test? Not worried just curious, not much hair, thank you!!

    Why would they give you a physical, they don't care if you can pass a DOT physical, all they care about is you pay them for you schooling. In some states, they are all some what different, you must have the physical before you can get your temporary instruction permit (TIP) which is need for driving . But I guess the basic answer is NO. Why are you worried about it.

    No physical, but they probably will drug test you, most likely a whiz quiz.

    TDI in Milton will take everyone to get a DOT Physical. I didn't ask about a drug test. Nothing to worry about for me.

    To get into Northwest community college cdl driving course, had to take and pass cdl permit, air breaks, dot physical, clean MVR and High school diploma or ged and turn into the school! I believe that they do that in order for you to be marketable for companies needing professional drivers.

    Some give physicals. They can use mustash hair, pubes, leg hair or really any hair. If you truly are worried about not having enough hair, don't worry. If your worried about failing the test, then stay out of this industry!
