Should I get a TWIC card

Can you afford to "waste" the money if you work for a carrier that doesn't require a TWIC card? Getting one may show your desire to get a job. Will you be getting a Passport also?

 

i would wait and see if my new company will require you to have twix card. if they do, let them pay for the it, the same will go for haz-mat lots of luck on your new adventure jon

 

Depends, some companies pay for the twic & if you leave you must give it back. If you pay for your own, it's yours & you take it with you if you leave the company. If you can, get your twic & passport now so you will be prepared if a better opportunity presents itself.

 

Go to Roehl. They pay extra for TWIC. Besides, have you read the Prime forum? Why wpould you go there or Werner? Read the forums! At least Roehl drivers are HAPPY!

 

Silly rabbit>twix are for kids

TWIC is for truck drivers.

 

I would wait until you know who your employer is, and then ask them if you would ever need it.

If they say yes, then I would apply for it before you leave for training/orientation. Its roughly $110-$150. If you get it within 3 or 6 months (cant remember which) of getting your hazmat, it's cheaper.

I pick up on a lot of ports, so I would be severely limited without it. 15-25% of my live loads require it.
