    No, only if you will be going to ports to pick up loads. Many of those that do will pay for you to get them.

    I recommend you pay for your own
    card is good for five years. If company pays for it they can take it back from you.
    If you leave company you can take it with you. It's $129.00. Pay for it keep it. Never let your company keep anything other than your medical card.

    I don't believe a company can take it back from you. It is a federal ID. But, it is worth getting.

    Having the TWIC will save you from spending a lot of time waiting to be escorted within the facilities.
