    So, DOT does urine and certain companies do hair?

    NO

    The DOT does NOT do any testing, it is the company and only the company that does the testing. They ALL have to do a urine test by regulations and the hair test is their option and in addition to the urine testing.

    Hair testing is not part of their obligation as a carrier and has nothing to do with the regulations yet. some companies want to have that in place of the urine testing but the urine testing is a requirement and no way around it.

    IF you get into an accident and someone is killed, then you get a piss test by the local or state police, the DOT has nothing to do with this.

    If you are concerned, I would not be. unless the drug is on their illegal hit list, I wouldn't worry about it if you have a prescription and under doctor's care.

    By the way what is the drug?
