ComCar/CCC testing...

I take it you know this from personal experience? I havent heard great things so far about Comcar. I might take up a job offer with White Glove Moving out of Vero Beach. They say they're buying 3 semi's and running the east coast. I have worked for their competition for 2 years now and they have gotten huge while we sank. If ya can't beat em', join em', right?

 

CCC regional isn't a bad deal, I was with them in 2004 when I first got my license. The CPM isn't high, but they're decent trucks and basically southeast/east coast runs. I was on Budweiser dedicated as a newbie which was pretty fun, not sure if they still haul that OTR or if Werner has it all now. They're not the best, but not the worst either for regional, local on the other hand is not very good, long hours for very little money.

 

Amphetamines: (Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, MDMA (Ecstasy) and MDA (MDEA, Eve and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine)

Opiates: (Codeine, Morphine, 6-monoacetylmorphine Morphine including Heroin, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone and Hydromorphone)
Cocaine: (Cocaine & Benzoylecgonine metabolites)

Marijuana metabolite: (THC Carboxylic Acid metabolite)
PCP: (Phencyclidine, Angel Dust)
These five drug classes are mandated for testing by the Federal Government
**Note** Alcohol can now be detected in a hair drug test.


Yes, Ecstasy is reported under the “Amphetamines” group.
Currently, nicotine, methadone, simple benzodiazepines, tricyclic antidepressants assays and mescaline have been detected in hair.


[h=6]Will the test results really reflect drug use over the past 90 days?
[/h] Yes. Hair follicles underneath the scalp are surrounded by a dense network of capillary blood vessels. Drugs in the bloodstream are able to incorporate and bind to the hair follicles underneath the scalp. It takes approximately 5-10 days for hair containing drug to reach the outer environment on top of the scalp to be collected based on the average rate of head hair growth.
[h=6]How fast does hair grow?
[/h] Head hair grows approximately 1.3 cm or a ½ inch per month. The standard length of hair tested by the laboratory is the first 3.9 cm or 1½ inches from the root end. Therefore, a hair analysis of 3.9 cm covers a time span of approximately 90 days and detects a pattern of drug use over this timeframe.

Many employers find it useful to test both hair and urine for pre-employment purposes. Urine is useful for detecting recent or new drug use (the last 1-3 days except Marijuana, which is longer) and hair for providing an approximate three-month drug history of repetitive use.
[h=6]Can body hair be used for hair drug testing?

Yes, body hair can be used to test for the five standard drug classes, though body hair growth patterns are different than head hair. Most body hair is replaced within approximately one year. This means a test done with body hair will be reported as drug usage during approximately a one year time frame.
[/h]A sample of body hair an inch and a half in length will give you a history of about 5-6 months, as body hair grows more slowly than hair on the head. This also means that it takes longer for drugs to grow out into the body hair than the head hair.
In addition, body hair may be used as a substitute to head hair. In the rare case where no hair is collectable, complete urine/adulteration testing may be utilized.
[h=6]How long does it take drugs to enter the hair?
[/h][h=6]It takes about 5-7 days for the hair affected by the drug use to grow out above the scalp. In the case of body hair, it takes longer.
[/h]Body hair growth rates are generally slower and cannot be utilized to determine a time frame of drug use.

[h=6]What is the shortest time period that can accurately be evaluated?
[/h] In most situations the minimum time period is approximately one month.

 

You speaking of Comcar in general? I go to orientation 04/08. From what I was told they have incorporated new pay and new mile sheet...I am on a guarantee of .36 mile starting out and $1k for orientation. 2100-2300 miles a week + trap/stop pay....around $800-$900 weekly...If this is all true, I don't think that's to bad for a starter company..........we all know tho I have a lot to learn..lol...
