    so you know the starting rate for otr drivers should be about .40/mile +, anything less is just plain scabbery.
    and I'm not a union driver

    Can you tell me if they do a hair follicle drug test or just a urine test- Before I get all the "change your life" and" stay of drugs" replies I just want to say that the only drug I ever tried in my life is weed and I last smoked it about 4 1/2 months ago and never plan on doing it again- I just obtained my CDL and have passed urine tests recently for non driving jobs but am concerned about a hair test because I have a buzz cut which means they will take body hair which Im certain will result in a fail due to the fact Im not a very hairy dude- the hairs ive got on my body that are a inch and a half long have been there since I was 13 lol- It sucks to be scared to take a drug test and it makes me feel as dumb as if I was smoking grass- The fact is I always had my #### together I wanted to get a Class A so i stopped smoking for 4 months went and got my licence and am now looking for work and am starting to hear the words "hair follicle test" so I'm a little freeked- I'm not worried about any tests in the future because I'm never smoking again- My question is if I go to fontana to swift will they pull my hair or just test my urine?

    GREAT JOB!!!!!! I'm really happy to see you stuck it out w/ the new trainer and finished what you started. In another couple days when you test out and throw your bag into the cab of YOUR truck, you'll see why it was worth it. Just remember everything they taught you and don't be afraid to ask questions on the road. GL and can't wait for your 1st solo run update:)
