We've been told that Swift Trans is doing hair follicle testing.
Here is our list of companies and the testing they do:
Hair Follicle vs. Urinalysis Drug Testing: Breakdown By Company
Surprisingly So Cal only did urine testing during my orientation.
As of April 2016. Phoenix Academy UA only.
Interesting. Someone told us they were doing hair follicle testing but I'm not sure who. I hate to downgrade them to urinalysis only and then get someone in trouble because they weren't expecting hair follicle, but obviously we want our information to be accurate.
hmmmmm..........
This is so hot off the press you could cook pancakes on it: I'm at the Memphis terminal now as I type this. I went over to the clinic and just plain asked the clerk!
Swift in Memphis only does UA. The clerk has not heard any word about any other hair raising tests.
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
Ok excellent. I'll update the page right now. Thanks for that!
But in reality (and we've beaten this one into the ground) - regardless of whether it's hair or urine...
Anyone that shows up at an orientation, and isn't able to give a 90 day window of not using illegal drugs (or legal ones they can't explain) should consider whether or not they should be going to orientation IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I had major hernia surgery 3 months ago. A hair test 30 days ago, would show probably morphine, dilaudid and vicodin. It's probably clean by now (for hair). And would have been clean urine after 72 hours for the opiates.
Not trying to lecture - and we do strive for accuracy here @ TT.
