Is the drug test at Prime Urinalysis only? No hair follicle?

Is the drug test at JP urinalysis only?

Day one- well it started out by waking up at 4:30 am couldn't sleep was way to excited. So I just played on my phone, studied a little bit. 6:00 am rolls around and me and my roommate head down for breakfast. Didn't have much of a selection but I made due with oatmeal and raisins. Headed back up to our room to finish getting ready and grabbing our things. 7:00 am rolls around and nobody has shown up yet.. They said 6:55-7:00 am 😂 Late to my first day but wasn't my fault. Finally got to the terminal around 7:20ish and walked into the class room. Jim Palmer only brings in 5 students at a time so they had our names on where we would sit. Sat down and waited for Shannon, he's the main guy who is running it, he had to pick up a couple guys from the hotel who already have their cdl and switching from another company.

So this guy who I can't remember his name to save the life of me.. 😂 He was just explaining to us exactly everything we would be doing in class, rules and all that jazz, Shannon finally took over and gave us a tour, seen where the fleet managers worked, found out they only have 5 drivers each. Pretty cool I thought. We met our recruiters, they all were super nice and said if we need anything to just come talk with them.

Alright finally we head back to the class room, just more talking about what they are expecting and how fast the program will move. After that we went out to the truck and did the 3 points of contact, getting into the tractor and trailer. I'm a bigger guy and was a bit nervous on getting in the trailer 😂 But I managed to do it and felt better about myself. So we head in again, this time we are going over the contract with them. One year and you don't pay anything. I don't plan on leaving anyways, especially the first year. Need the experience!! But anyways after the contract we headed out to get our drug test done and dot physical. I had to pee so bad I could of filled up 3 of those cups 😂 But that was the easy part. Dot physical, I was worried. Blood pressure has to be at or below 140/90 and bmi has to be at 38 or lower or you have to get a sleep study test and only get a 3 month card. So literally my blood pressure was at 140/90 go figure right? He said just to keep losing weight and it'll help. Same with the bmi I was at 38 so again gotta bring it down!! He checked eye sight, had us lift our arms up, squat once, stand on one foot, both legs. Checked reflexes on your knee, elbow, and foot. Whispered. Followed a pen. That was it.... I was expecting to lift something or whatever but nope. Came out and sat down, the young lady called me over after a few mins and said alright you're all set, two year dot card... Ah yeah!! Made my day even better. So they took us out to this taco place for lunch and then back to the class room. Now it's cdl permit studying. Going over things, asking us questions. Did some practice quizzes on the computer and that Completed day one.

So far I'm having fun and enjoying everything, everyone here at Jim Palmer has been extremely nice and always encouraging us to ask question if we are struggling with anything. So it definitely helps out with relaxing a bit and not being so nervous. But time to study, have my permit test tomorrow. Hoping I can pass it, don't want to be a day behind everyone. So I'm going to try my best to remember everything. Anyways goodnight and I'll update tomorrow when I can.

Is the drug test only urinalysis?
