Congratulations! I am glad the employment gap thing didn't hurt you with Swift. That is one of the things that is insane with SOME trucking companies, (Prime, Roehl others) if you haven't worked in 30 days (for whatever reason) they throw your application away, it's pure nonsense dreamed up by HR drones to make their job's easier. There was legislation proposed in congress making it illegal to discriminate against people with employment gaps, but it didn't make it to law yet. That's why alot of people lie. You have about a 99.99% chance of the company not ever finding out if you lie about employment history and have somebody to answer a phone call when they call, it's just a HR drone calling then checking off a list. But it's nice there are still good companies like Swift where a person doesn't have to do all that nonsense. And with the unemployment rate falling to 6.1 percent this week, trucking companies will be scrambling to fill seats even more than they already are soon.

That's good! I've been working since February. I thought they were looking for Any gap in the last 3 years. I may start putting in apps sooner than I thought. Great news!
I just buzzed my hair about 2 weeks ago. Do I need to let it grow for the hair follicle test? I've read on here that some companies do those and some don't. Just want to add that passing the test won't be a problem, but growing my hair will take some time. -
They just do urin test.

Going through Schneider Orientation now. They do hair and Urine. One of my buddies was bald so they clipped hair from his armpit. He was nervous as hell but came back good.
