I have been told by a few Drivers that Trucking Company's are now doing Hair Drug Test Instead on Urinalysis. Is this True?? If so which company's are doing It??

yes it's true. with all that is available to pass a pee test now days , it is much more acurate to do this and besides it goes back years instead of a month or 2.

I wouldn't worry to much about that though as long as your not an active user. I mean everybody ( well most) has used an illegal drug at some point.

i have heard from reliable sources that hair will retain for several months... ur best bet?? get serious, get away from the drugs!

I believe there are laws that keep them from going further back than 6 months. So, if you've been clean at least that long, then ur ok. I had to give a hair sample when I applied with Anheuser Busch to be a Clydesdale handler.

Unless the feds have revised the drug testing rules, I believe they only accept the standard urine test as an official drug test.
This doesn't mean an employer cannot have a more strict test, it does mean the driver cannot be disqualified based only on that hair test.
I don't know if the feds have adopted the hair sample testing as an official test yet. If that happens, there's going to be a lot of drivers canned for discretions going back a long time.
Or...you'll have to shave every inch of your body.
Ugh! Somehow I just can't see myself having a "wax". -
And no, not everyone uses/used . I can honestly say that I never tried or cigarettes. But I only know one other person who can say that same thing. And yes, I am regarded as a freak for that. -
