    I'm located in Alabama.. recently got my CDL Permit just trying to make sure I review all of my options before committing to a school. Recently found outSwift does hair follicle testing so I won't be going there anymore. (I don't smoke but I have dreadlocks & I've heard numerous stories about dreadlocks & hair follicle testing) ... What are some more starter companies that I may not be aware of?

    I am biased, Prime Inc is the best starter company for training and pay

    Here's some that recently drivers posted they just do urine:
    Stevens Transport - www.stevenstransport.com
    Titan Transfer
    KLLM Transport - driver posted they do urine. KLLM owns FFE (Frozen Food Express) and another driver said FFE does urine, but will do hair follicle if you do something to raise suspicions; maybe a wreck or acting immature; I don't know.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Evergreen Transport in Evergreen,AL is a relatively small regional outfit, so unlikely they do hair follicle. They just run southeast & Texas.
    There may be others, but not positive. Just checked the website and don't see the school listed. Maybe they don't have it now, but you can call and ask.

    But with hair follicle can’t you use armpit hair if you want?

    Delco Remy isn’t bad...
    Neither is Nippon Denso...
    Some say Hitachi is good but I don’t have a lot of experience with them.
    But I do like The Delco Remy alternators best out of all of them.
     
    skellr Thanks this.
