    I already know how this goes when this question is asked. But feel how u want ,but I already have a local job pulling containers. My homeboy is supposed to go to orientation with Koch and is wondering do they just do urine, or hair and urine. Someone thats not all about that stay off drugs want have to worry crap. Answer for me really quick please. The man doesn't do drugs anymore but has before and dont waana loose his career or supporting of his family over something a while back before trucking.

    Hi Trukin, we've been over this and over this, but as a rule, not many companies do hair analysis (yet). A good rule of thumb is 3 -4 weeks for a urine test, and up to 6 months on a hair test. If it's been a month, (and he's not 400 lbs) he should be ok.:thumbup:

    Schneider is the only one I know of, although, I think it's just a matter of time before the urine test is obsolete. Now, that 3-4 weeks is for weed, other drugs, a matter of days, in some cases. I think weed sticks around the longest.

    What your homeboy should do is take the test before going with any company then at least he'll know.How long has it been since he did drugs and he didn't quit just because he wants to join this industry did he?

    No he didn't just to be truthfully he knows he can pass a urine sample straight up. But he is not sure about the hair thats why he asked me about which test Koch do. I didnt know so I asked you all.

    I would suggest to your buddy to pay for a hair test before going with any company just in case that employer has a new drug test policy in place.
