    Shave all of your hair (even the pubes), wait a month for new hair to grow?

    Some of us are at an age now where the chances that hair will return in places other than ears, nose, and tops of toes is just not worth the risk!

    Nobody does the hair tests, if they happen too, F'em and move on. Hair tests are a joke, don't worry about that. Just don't use and worry about driving safe.

    Apparently, all of these companies do:

    Roehl
    JB Hunt, Shaffer, Prime
    TMC
    Boyd
    CR England
    CRST
    Conway
    Schneider
    Knight
    USA Truck (10 to 20% of students are tested during orientation)

    Among others...
    And, btw. If you fail ANY test, or refuse to take them, you can't just "move on". You're pretty much banned from almost the entire profession for life.

    where did you get this info from? I'm not trying to be smart, I'm just asking. I'm a dockworker for UPS Freight, they piss test the drivers. Since UPS is so picky and do not really need drivers (since there are a million people in line) I wonder why companies really needing drivers would pay the extra money to disqualify so many applicants.

    From the link in the top comment in of this page
    Here's the entire quote:


    He simply called the companies, and asked them. Why they do it? Not sure. I hear, it's for insurance purposes. also, add to that, the fact that there is no driver shortage. There are a lot of people who flock to Truck driving because good paying jobs aren't as numerous as it used to be...
     
    RodeoMoon Thanks this.
