They are using hair follicle drug test now. Very unfair, especially when it already has a 90% turnover rate.

There are some out there, who will stop smoking pot and whatever else they use to start a new career.

But when a hair follicle test can go back 7 yrs, that will add to drivers being put out of work. DOT randoms call for urine test, not hair test. They don't offer you goverment pay, so why use government drug test.

People should notify ACLU reps, and DOT to see if they have the right to use these test.

I guess all their drivers are perfect and can raise the dead as the only one perfect man did

I will say that I am just getting into this industry myself. Schneider, Melton, and CR England seem to be the main companies that use this test.

Before I got into this industry I engineered and installed mechanical systems for NASA, Lockheed Martin, the U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force. Never once did they do anything outside of a urine sample or swab-saliva test.

I find it incredibly embarrassing that our country allows such an invasion of privacy.

When I found out about this testing for truck driving I was appalled. Schneider was begging me to work for them because of my government background. i have worked overseas for several years as a civilian employee.

I called Schneider myself and told them to stop asking me to work for their inferior outfit and spread the word to everyone I knew. I can pass one all day, but I would never work for a company that thinks they can convince our poor truck drivers that hair follicle testing is making our roads safer. If they cared about safety they would use breathalyzer machines making the drivers blow before they drive. Or possible completing a field sobriety test on their digital logging systems to see if any drug abuse will effect their driving for the day.

Along with the random urine analysis. What people do after work NEVER causes them to crash. It's when their recreational activities make their way into the truck that bad things happen.

Main point?

If I can work on missile defense systems for the military with a swab and random urine test then I should be able to drive a truck with the same procedures. This is all about money. They are hoping to throw all liability on their drivers. To me, and most Americans, this is absolutely wrong.

Truck drivers are important and prestigious men. They deserve their privacy. I mean for God's sake you can fly a plain with hundreds of people in it over cities containing millions but you can't drive milk up the street without a hair follicle. Again so disgusting.

I hope this runs them out of business.

As far as those that can pass that love to say things like, "You shouldn't be driving a truck if you do illegal things anyways" or one of my favorites, "You should have nothing to worry about if you're following the law" should seriously get a clue. Wait until they put you on a lie detection test and ask you if you even smoked a joint at even as a teenager, and fire you over something you did 20 years ago. I bet you won't feel the same way then.

This is invasion of privacy. People that quit drugs years ago should be commended for their hard work. Not exposed and disqualified for being a better person.

Maybe they will end up going back to that drug. Definitely a sick situation.

Sincerely,

A Man W/ A Clue

CR England will do urine test on the first day for every new students. On the second day, they will randomly pick 10 students out of 50 to do a hair test(hair test is way more expensive than urine test).

With that said, they also do a random urine testing once you are hired. Get your story straight U dumb anonymous tard!!!

Personally, I don't use, but honestly, I don't think it is any employers business what their employees do on their own time.

Guest

Hair folicle tests are good for only about 60-90 days jackazzzz.

hmdbrian - should have expected that answer from a union puke.

Guest

I,d like to discuss this matter cause I,m a victim of a hairfolic test that was wrong. The companies MRO officers refused to send me the results of test but I got retested the next month and results came back negative.

Quote me i don,t soke period drink or do drugs i,m also diabetic.

I lost my house a whole lot of other things and still fighting with rest of companies to hire me. Been out of work since March and they got FMSCA head official to try and force me to go to SAP program to make them look right so plz people this is some serious stuff for truckdrivers so plz note I was retested and I still can,t get company to realize this was wrong, they ruined my career by being wrong

Guest
