i have been trucking for about 6 years I recently had the need to go OTR. I'm about to be starting orientation with a new company. Well last week I was drug tested passed the urine but failed hair test I've never done any drugs in my life. Do you think the major new company pulled my dac before me going out to the terminal to conduct the orientation and I've also read somewhere a failed test don't go on the dac right away I plan on distbuting it and doing a re test but I missed it before they closed on Friday because I got the results on Wednesday but as I said I was hired pending road test and drug test?
Please let me know if you have any idea about the questions I asked. Thanks
Hey guys, please help I have a question about dac

Hair tests are not dot approved and be reported,wait 3 more months and try again at a different company or choose a company that doesn't hair test.
jryan027 Thanks this. -
Can't be reported to other companies.sorry for the spelling error.

I think I would be more concerned on how you failed a hair follicle test for drugs, since you claim you don't use them.Bean Jr., passingthru69, Dumdriver and 2 others Thank this.

There's only one judge...he's not a trucker.
CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -
It was thc. Supposedly it was sent off to a lab in New Jersey I'm disputing it which is a little hard considering that's in Illinois and I'm in Nebraska at the moment. The dr stated it's not high evough levels to be used directly by you. And. Not low enough for 2nd hand smoke. If that makes sense my company was going to battle for me. But I was switching to a new company anyways but thanks

So with me passing the urine test and if I don't pay the 179 to do a new sample to dispute the hair sample. I'll be good ?

Your VERY wrong. If this driver was sent home because of the failed hair test this action is part of the record. It is the reason for the action and this information can be and will be sent to DAC ( If carrier does report orientations, not all do) and any later company requests for information. You are correct about the non official testing, but wrong about the information being released being prohibited.

After re-reading I think your present company hair tested you. If they terminated you because of this positive non dot approved or dot approved is not the major issue. The major issue is the job action. Be very careful with this now. You will be asked on these applications why you left previous jobs. DAC is not your problem. It is this reason for leaving. Any future company is going to want to know why. It sucks, but it is what it is.

Yes I got a call from safety shutting me down but right before that I got a call from the doctor stating that the hair follicle was a positive for thc, But low amounts as I stated above . I'm going to attempt to dispute it and I know I'll pass because I just passed one for . so I'm completely dumbfounded by this. But I was letting my boss know the day I got a call about the failed drug test , that I had a new job. So you don't think they ran my dac Right away? I thought I would of got questioned about it by now. Thats if it showed up or they just haven't ran my record yet but I think it's pointless to waste money on hotels car rentals bus tickets if they didn't check it out before hand. I'm hoping at least. Fingers crossed
