    Just got my TWIC card in the mail.

    Do drivers who use it keep it in their wallet or in the plastic holder? Or does this vary depending on the shipper/consignee?

    Thanks in advance.

    I stow mine in the holder that came with it, at the bottom of my tool bag.
    Used it twice in 10 yrs

    \Is why it stands for Total Waste of Income Card. 110-130 dollars for a piece of plastic that is rarely used or asked for anymore.

    Based on the money expended, I think it worked out to a out $63.00 per use.

    Have all three that were issued, can’t remember when the last one expired.

    I keep them in a little credit card case. It has a faraday cage. That’s in the file folder i keep other non essential items in back in one of the bunk cabinets.
