The TWIC is unnecessary unless your job requires it.
Just another money maker for another contractor...
If you have a HAZMAT endorsement, the background and fingerprint check is identical to the TWIC process, so if you don't explicitly need the TWIC, don't bother wasting your time or money.
In fact, the process is so identical that you can get a discount on the TWIC if you've already got your HAZMAT.

Are you able to get the HAZMAT before you even get your CDL?

I'll be ######. I just looked it up. I guess they do mail the cards now. Seems kinda odd that they'd just throw a TWIC card in the mail considering what it takes to get one. I guess if it made sense the government wouldn't be behind it. -

Yeah, suddenly it's OK to send them through the mail now?
More like it's easier for the contractor to make money and not have to deal with people who have to take time out of their lives and of work to make the trek to the nearest TWIC money collection office. -
