    I don't do dope, nor do I do any other drugs. I smoked weed. But haven't for a little while but hair follicle tests go back a ways. So I don't want them to find marijuana in my hair and think I'm still smoking.

    I've always called weed dope because it makes people dopey afterwards. Regardless i never met someone who can complete quit smoking pot. My father has been smoking it for over 40 years still does at 61. He only smoke a little j after work but he does it sometimes while driving home after work and yep he is a dope for doing that.

    these days you'll find just every about every company will give you a drug test not sure if its for insurance purposes or safety issues all round its just a good idea not to take drugs if your a professional driver best advice i could give anyone one is stay off the grass and get drug free then go for your cdl.

    My company *tho small it is* does random drops on almost all (few) of us after every major holiday, esp. the ones when we are off. My last one was after New Year's. Granted, it was just a UA, and i've never smoked weed or imbibed in ANY drugs, but they test for alcohol too.
    Just passing the preliminary, if you are not serious about TOTALLY being done with the "partying" lifestyle, doesn't guarantee your career.
    Be safe.

    I will test your drugs if you will send them to me.

    I started at CRE almost 12 years ago.

    They currently do hair, and recommend that you be clean for a year before taking the test. ( It's on their infomercial )

    Money is also bad, worse than drugs. If you send me your money I'll be bad for you.

    Carolina Logistics just does urine test. That was posted a couple weeks ago by a guy in your situation.
    He said your trainer period is 5 trips to California.
