    Sorry but you fall in a long line of first time posters that there vary first post is a question about drug testing. Either its a boyfriend claiming the girlfriend is a pot smoker, or I was at a party last night and there gonna do a drug test in the morning, ect ect ect. Gotta say I dont think I've seen a post where a parent was living with the kids that smoked pot. Just a guess on my part, I'm guessing your not gonna be cut out for a long trucking career.

    Swift pee tests.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about unless you were in a room constantly filled floor to ceiling with pot smoke for the past five years. There is a level of exposure they are looking for that requires direct inhalation.

    If you fail any drug test for pot, it won't be because you smoked once, last week at your brother's birthday party, for the first time in ten years or because you were exposed to secondhand smoke for short periods.

    My advice? Get the dopers out of your house, or move. Then wait about a month and buy a drug store test kit. Walmart has them for around $20.

    There's a drug test expert down in the Trucking Industry Regulation forum.


    From what I hear, they cut a one inch segment from the root and test that only.

    Hmmmm I wonder..........

    Many a woman has complained about that "smoke" smell in her mans hair.

    Ever wonder what that smell is caused by, especially since second hand.....doesn't matter.

    It doesn't get into your hair from the air, it comes out of your body and enters the hair...Something smells funny about this thread...

    Schneider does both Urine and Hair follicle... I would not aapply to Schneider since you were in a room with a smoker but you didn't inhale you will still test positive there's no way around it and i do believe your best bet is to find another career path. You don't want to apply for a job and be tested and test positive and then it follow you for 35 years, so my advice is to get another type of job that doesn't involve driving. We will all be safer.....














    I mean come on you really want some one to believe that ####amamie story, get real it's these types of recruits and driver's that really are dragging down us professional driver's. How many people are gonna make an excuse for their Piss Poor judgement....
