    Did I miss something here? Why are you people so jaded? If you can't offer suggestion with or without hair testing, kindly go f*** yourself. There are like 4 other preferences in my question as well.

    We are not kind to drug users who want to drive a 80,000 lb missile down the street. Every day someone comes on here with excuses like yours, we're not dumb

    Your missing the point. I'll say it again.

    You (the original poster) DO NOT need to be driving a truck. Hair test aside. My point still stands. Unles you want a ####ty life for 2 or 3 years. Then @Chinatown can help with a list.

    And this is stereotyping of me. But Scranton area puts out most drugs coming from nyc. It's been a proving fact by FBI standards. I love near reading, pa and it's the next stop for drug runners after Scranton.

    I personally am not sure of this, but I don't think they'll make you have a bald spot when taking hair. So what is the problem?

    You would know. Truckers know everything. Why is there a piss bottle sitting by the pump?

    I don't use drugs of any kind. I have read post by others saying better to not take one because it is an invasion of privacy and what not. I happen to agree.

    Also, as already stated I have long hair and it is just starting to thin out the last year or so and I preferably do not want a bald spot on the back of my head. So yes, I looked into it a bit combined with what others have said in school and what not.

    If I have to, it's not a problem. But if there are 2 or more equally rated companies in my eyes, and 1 does and the other doesn't, I would go with the one who does NOT. Especially since the results are not DOT accepted 'yet' anyway.

    Like I said, just a preference.

    Also, I really can't believe I have to explain all this to people I don't know when all I really wanted was a lead on a decent job. But such is life I guess.

    I don't want anyone driving a truck who is under the influence either.

    But "and I know I'm opening a can of worms here" AND "I'm not talking about myself" if someone smoked a joint 3 months ago, I highly doubt there ability to SAFELY drive a commercial vehicle would still be affected.

    I will rephrase the question:
    What are some "good" companies I can take a look at that accept recent CDL graduates and also preferably have at least some or most of the following:

    1) Home weekly or close
    2) Takes new drivers
    3) Pay at least average
    4) Have some truck perks like APU, XM Radio, Cooler

    Thanks...

    So pulling a hair or 2 is an invasion of privacy, but peeing in a cup isn't?

    You are going to have to become much better at deception if you want any of us to buy that.

    Carolina Cargo is the best option. They only take top notch drivers but you seem like a motivated guy. They may take you.
