    There may be a few companies that have some kind of policy, but I'm pretty sure most don't. I have a beard because it's just easier not to shave while out on the road.

    Only time I could see it being a problem is if your hauling chemicals. When I was leased on to Chemical Leaman you couldnt have one due to the fact you might have to wear a mask in the event of a chemical spill. I suppose if its long enough to pull over your mouth and nose if you had to they might make an exception.
