The only place I've had to do a hair test was at JBHunt.

I've heard Schneider National too.

No, but if you have to worry about it I hope they do test you.

People can beat the UA test by abstaining for a few days to let the drugs metabolize through the system.
Then they drink lots of water, so when you test, you are just peeing water that probably won't kill flowers anymore.

About the only way a UA test is effective at catching a user, is a random test.
The more expensive follicle test, won't detect detect current use, but does show chronic use, making it hard to beat.
If you really want to weed out the users (<< see what I did there :)) do a hair follicle test.

I'm on a very low dose benzo but currently tapering off kinda quickly. Just wanted to possibly be sure it wasn't gonna show, even after I quit. I hear sometimes benzo's can show up in hair follicle even after one has quit for awhile. Thanks for your support though. ;o)

You could be on any prescribed drug and pass the UA.. you WILL pee hot! But thats what the process does, the MRO calls and checks for a reason (such as a prescribed medication) and then when you produce proof to the MRO.. the carrier isn't even notified.

I think most of us have smoked or smoked marijuana. Each one of us to pass this test would fail. For example I smoke sometimes, I even buy bongs especially for this.
