TWIC question

I just received my TWIC last week and then a couple days later received the PIN # that was mailed separately for security reasons. How many places that you have been to actually have needed both? Kind of a hassle IMO to try and remember another password/pin ( as if I don't have enough ) or to have a piece of paper or something taking up space in my wallet or where ever I plan on keeping it. ( The thought of losing it and then having to redo the whole thing is just a pain in the rear )

 

Never had to use the PIN# yet... You have a smart phone? Create a contact called TWIC and put your pin instead of the phone #...

 

I've never been asked my pin by anyone/place.....

And I don't know it anyways...

 

Hell, I've never even been asked for my TWIC, let alone the PIN for it.

 

I get asked to show my twic several times a week, pin? Never been asked, I wouldn't remember if asked

 

I am starting to think it was to grab my money....I have not used the card or the pin one time in 19 months of driving with it.

 

One time,asked for my pin#,at the Virginia International Gateway Terminal,Portsmouth,Va.It's a newer container terminal,but they also do RO-RO for the US Govt.Took a military fire truck in there once a few years ago,and they wanted my TWIC,no problem,but they wanted my pin# also.I had no idea.Had to wait about and hour and a half,while they verified my TWIC,till they gave me a gate pass.Huge PITA.Click on the google map thing and read the 22 reviews of this terminal,funny.

i got my TWIC when it first came out. i have been to gasoline and home heating oil storage tank facilities, never needed it.

i got rid of it at the renewal. no plans on getting it back

so sorry, i can't answer your question about the PIN #.

 

I went to a armory in Baltimore and had mine ready and they said nope we don't need it.

 

You must have never gone to a port. At least not Jacksonville, Savannah, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami. They TWIC you minimum of once as depending on where your going I have been asked for it 3x in a single visit. And your support to wear/display it at all times while on port property.

If your going to the Port of Jacksonville you also need a separate Jacksonville Port ID. I have not run into needing a port specific ID elsewhere.
