    Hey man quick question. When did they make you take your first drug test? On the day you had your face to face interview?

    No I’m pretty sure it was 4/5 days after my interview I had to wait a few days before they sent my offer letter thru email, then I had 2 days to get the drug test done

    I’ve been hearing they do hair follicle screening? Is it that as well as urine?

    Sadly it is true. They also start yelling at you if you cant piss right away because you are wasting everyones time. Stuff like "what the hell is wrong with you?" and "you're only half a man". I swear its worse than wiener inspection day in jr high school.

    Well ####. So I landed the position out in Midland for frac/acid. I’m in Dallas but they gave me a place to go to so I can go get my UA. Is that how it worked for you also?

    I was just joking around. Sorry if that was not clear , I sometimes forget that without facial expressions its hard to detect humor.

    Look into the companies in ND, I started a couple of month ago delivering fuel paying 26.00 an hour overtime after 40. I work 72-75 hours per week.
