    Hey! Trainer guys... one of the newbs posted that his instructor (I believe he's PSD at the moment) doesn't have an APU and refused to idle even in cold weather. Is this OK per training management???

    It isn't a requirement. I assume you're talking about Brian (FMJ).

    Best advice for him is to get a powered blanket, or request a new instructor.

    That"s interesting, good to know,thanks for the info, both J.B. & I.P., so how does one go about getting a T.W.I.C. card ?. S.N. I"m wondering if everyone i sent a P.M. to got them. Still on a learning curve here, and thinking maybe i should have done it here, thought that if i did it here than not all i sent would see. Anyway gonna do it here to. To Jimmy Bones, Iron Pony, Sheila (Bull Haulers wife), Chuck Taylor, Mack E-6, Swamp Thing, Ott Man, Admin T.T.R. Owner, and all the rest of The Truckers Report community out there, HAVE A HAPPY, MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND A SAFE ONE IF THE WHEELS ARE-A TURN-IN.

    At Prime you apply for TWIC at orientation. There's an office right at the terminal.

    CR England is bad too. Bottom 3 are CRST, CR England, and Werner. Of the other ones you've mentions I'd say in order of how good they are I would say Prime, Schneider, then Swift.

    Swift's history if literally being a CDL mill contradicts that list.
