    Have an orientation with melton soon and the recruiter said they do a hair test and go back 12 months?
    Is this true? I am not a drug user and smoked a little marijuania over 6 months ago but have been clean since,should I be worried? And if it comes back positive and not hired will it be reported and hurt my chances at other companys?:confused::(:(

    Only goes back 90 days if you're that worried google a drug screen place near you and pay for hair and urine test your self results are confidential then you'll know that you're good. They're about 125$

    You shouldn't have anything to worry about. I piss test only goes back 30 days. As for the hair, they cut hair off your head , face, leg or wherever they can get it. It's not actually the follicles. If your honest with them and its been 6 months or more then you have no problems. I went through their orientation and it was the same for me

    Thanks for the info when the recruiter called me and asked if I EVER did drugs(and I am 47) I said no but of course that was a lie, I felt like I was applying for the president or something, so when she said they go back 12 months with a hair test I got a little worried, I last smoked over 6 months ago and would never mess around with it while employed driving a truck.

    Melton recruiter told me the same thing a few days ago. Said hair test goes back a year, I know it depends on the length of hair.

    Yeah same here, they told me the same thing. There will be a few people that don't make it through. You should be good though

    If it was a one and done, you should be fine. If you're that worried about it then go someplace and get checked.

    If you did it habitually, well...that should speak for itself.
