    Pretty sure they still do hair follicle testing from these comments in article about a year ago:

    "The company also uses hair follicle drug testing, which is somewhat controversial as some claim it is discriminatory to certain population groups. “Since we started hair follicle testing, 15% to 20% of our drivers who came into our driving training programs who passed the urine test [failed the advanced hair test],” Ostergard claimed. “These drivers are now driving for someone else.”

    He added that drug testing is a critical element and as more states legalize marijuana use, more drivers are failing drug tests. “There’s been a significant increase in positive tests for drivers living in states with legal marijuana,” Ostergard noted."

    I'll say it. If weed is legal in your area and you can pass a urine test then you should be good to go,

    I believe that is an industry-wide standard.

    No. Weed is a hallucinagen. If it can be detected in the body, you should not be driving a truck.

    Prescription drugs are legal, but get caught driving with opiates in your system, as and you will get hammered by the law. Should be the same for pot.
