    pretty much all the companies these days drug test, your school didnt help you find a job or have recruiting?
    Some of the companies that recruit from schools are knight, werner, Swift, cr england, I know theres a few more but I have a brain fart right now

    Put you location on your profile; it helps to know which hiring area you're in.

    Your best paying jobs will be tanker or flatbed.
    I read that Maverick does a hair follicle test.
    Ask on each trucking company thread on this forum. Use the search feature and put in the company name.

    Try these, that hire new CDL grads.

    Schneider tanker division
    trans-system
    Prime tanker division(don't know what test they do)
    JBS Carriers

    How long have you been without drugs? Hair test goes back like 6 months. There are more and more companies doing it now so there is no tellin who is or isnt. If you havent been clean atleast 6 months i would wait longer.

    Refuse to hire you based on the fact you are attempting to hide something.

    yeah probably, there are a select few out there who shave everything just because...they probably dont care the reasoning though in the end.
