Profile For Stephen S.

I recently got my CDL and applied to my first trucking job, to my surprise I failed Schneider's hair follicle test even thought I paid for my own hair screening before just to make sure and came back negative. anyway I was sent home and am now applying to any trucking job I can get my hands on but most of them are now denying my application due to the report being filled on my DriverIQ website report. Is there anyway to get rid of this or fight this? will it be removed from my report with time? what is my best option or company that I should apply to or is my driving career over before I even started? I am extremely frustrated because Schneider didnt even let me explain my case or appeal it and sent me home immediately as if there's never false positives for hair tests ( which national average shows about 15% are false positive)

Hey Cameron, sorry to hear this happened to you. Was it for cannabis? Do you remember approximately what your test results were, was it over 1pg/mg? I'm basically wondering if anything above a "0" on prehire is a fail. Supposedly the general cutoff is 1pg/mg.

I haven't smoked in about six months and have been testing positive on urine for maybe four, but I'm just paranoid anything at all will mess up my career before it starts.

1pg is 1/1,000,000,000,000 of a gram.
