I have tanker and hazmat endorsements...should I get TWIC too?

The TWIC is to enter ports, no ned to get one unless your intending to go there, But most port will still let you in with a $20. fee, At least the once I've been to, Company reembursed, If you going to be a company driver, and the company wants you to have one? tell them to pay for it

 

You answered your own question.

 

It looks good on a resume... not all employers will pay for the TWIC, but some do.

 

Yes. Get a TWIC.

 

I don't have a twic card.. but, I do t need it, do not go through ports.. if I was going to pull tanker I would get my twic... but, no point in getting one when I don't need one..

 

TWIC is for ports, if you are not going to a port there is no reason to duplicate the hazmat background check.

 

If I were you, I personally wouldn't get any endorsements at least until I had a job lined up. Then I'd only get the ones my employer requires in which they would pay for.

 

I agree. If you know what company you want to work for, then get only what they require. Worry about the rest later, if you ever even need it.

 

What looks good on a resume is experience. Endorsements with no experience are endorsements with no experience. Besides who in the trucking industry uses a resume as opposed to filling out a job application usually online. Moreover, any employer that doesn't pay for your endorsements is an employer you don't need to work for.
