    Here's a 2012 throwback post from this site concerning a false-positive hair follicle analysis.

    As you can see...

    The repercussions from an error like this are devastating and leave drivers with little to no recourse.

    Though this may not affect you directly, it does indirectly by way of pressure to turn and burn to move freight creating more fatigued, unfocused drivers on the highways beside you.

    For all our sakes, we have to take seriously this move towards replacing urinalysis with hair follicle analysis.

    Kicked out for failed follicle test

    If you don't do drugs, you can't test positive for them.

    I don't mind the false positive's, it's them sending my sample off to Langley to be cataloged that bugs me.

    Says everyone who has not been unfortunate to receive a false-positive.

    *Sighs

    SN: Never have understood why people who take this position always seem to want to comment.

    Kind of reminds me of ostriches with their heads in the sand.
