How do I find where to have this done? If I get my TWIC will that cover the fingerprint requirements?

No.
Maybe.
Where I did mine was two separate buildings, may be different in a big city, did hazmat fingerprint in my hometown did twic in Memphis TN -
Identigo does fingerprints for both TWIC & HazMat. If you get both of them you get a $20-30 discount because they use the same background check. After I got my TWIC I used it precisely twice, both at the same customer. NOBODY else I went to pulling HazMat tanker cared about TWIC, I believe some ports, railyards, etc use some other sort of super-duper ID because TWIC wasn't secure enough. If you can afford both, get both. No company is going to NOT hire you because you have a TWIC, but you may never use it. The companies that use it often will put it in their job requirements.
Truckingdaytrader and ducnut Thank this. -
I had mine done at a Staples that does all three and now I unnecssarily have all three because I got a KTN a year ago.
Also, being a Known Traveler with a KTN does nothing for TWIC, but you can use TWIC like your KTN.Truckingdaytrader Thanks this. -
Twic is expensive so I'll probably hold off until a company requires it... then maybe I can convince them to pay for it.
