    Do you say it like it's a word, or do you spell out the letters? I'd just like to know before I get out and look like an idiot. Too late you say?

    Just say the name, or transportation workers identification card if you like to make noise, but drivers generally just say Twic as a words.

    Say it as a word, “TWIC” or call it by it’s true name, “Transportation Worker Identification Credential”. Makes no difference.

    Same thing really. Just another way for the government to get money out of the workers pocket, If a company requires it they should pay for it, but most wont.
     
    HotH2o and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    "Twit"

    Cause getting it is one of the worst mistakes I made. I'm the only TWIC holder in my carrier. Guess who gets the Eastern Seaboard runs with crappy eastern port freight coming back?
     
    Ace Brothstein and Ryan423 Thank this.
