    I think if you want to do OTR reefer this is the place to be. If I were to leave NCI it would be because I'm done with OTR reefer, not the company.

    We're treated like actual human beings. Upper management will walk through fire for us. I have a reliable, comfortable truck. We just got new trailers. We just started to get automatic detention and utilization pay ( I don't know if they're advertising that yet, but it's great.) the miles are generally good and consistent (I turned in something like 4300 last week, but I do a lot of NYC)

    It's not perfect. We are a trucking company and we do our fair share of dumb trucking company stuff, but overall I'm satisfied and have no plans to leave.

    Sounds like what I'm looking for, I've never had a company take hair and I have my concerns with that but over all I think I'm going to like it there

    Do they actually do hair? All the recruiter told me was a u/a. I guess worst case scenario I'll get some free trimming down under lol

    Yes hair is a sort of library for everything you have been exposed to going back about 9 months in life. If there was something you did during that time such as a nice hit of pot or a injection of something powerful illegal it's going to settle into that hair itself. It's no problem to pull and test it and presto, there it is. Just like opening a time capsule.

    I'm good on the results I'm more concerned on the lack of hair, I hear they will consider it a refusal if you don't have enough, that's just something I'd rather not have haunting me.

    Shaffer did arm hair for me. Shaved off a spot about two inches by three inches on my forearm. I suspect that these guys could and would do the same.
