Search hair follicle test in the forums. There is a thread about this.
Stay off everything for at least 6 months and have your possibilities wide open...

If you reliably know of any who are still urine test only, please let me know who.

DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
I am aware of the article on this website that addresses that very issue, but it is sorely in need of updating
It's updated continuously as new information comes in. What we have right now is what we know. If you tell me some of the inaccuracies now, in five minutes I'll have the page updated:

Sorry if that came off as offensive, Brett - I think your website is truly a fantastic resource, certainly the best I've come across on trucking. Seriously, I commend you for this authoritative site!
According to the placement officer at my school, he is quite convinced that only three companies he knows of can safely be claimed as urinalysis-only:
1. PTL 2. Covenant Transport 3. US Express
That's it. Hopefully it's not really this bad...but he did say that many of the companies listed as urinalysis-only are in fact now doing hair-follicle. Just about everyone seems to be going to it.
Just started at Swift Phoenix Academy on Monday. UA only at least for schooling. I have no idea how the randoms work once you are hired. There are other SWIFTIES on this forum that will probably chime in on that. Good Luck!
Hogan Transportation does only UA to my knowledge of late talked to a recruiter last month

Keep in mind that reports of testing, are anecdotal - as reported by members of this site.
Soooo - for many companies that we haven't had recent hires into - we might not have the most up-to-the-minute information...

Let me begin by stating that I am a responsible, hard-working family man. And yes - I was an occasional (and I do mean occasional) marijuana user, something I have abstained from now for several months. I have decided to pursue a career in this industry and gave it up. I am perfectly content with that choice.
I'm near the end of my CDL training and doing well. My driving history is solid and I have good work experience, too. My question is this: what companies do you personally know - for a FACT! - only urinalysis-test, but do not hair follicle-test? (As of late April, 2016.) I am aware of the article on this website that addresses that very issue, but it is sorely in need of updating. My placement person says a lot of the companies listed as "urinalysis only" have in fact moved on to hair follicle, too. If you reliably know of any who are still urine test only, please let me know who. Thank you!!
