Mentor has TWIC card and I do not.

He is a great guy by the way so hopefully it all works out even though I won't do containers when I am solo.

Well thanks to all of your helpful replies. I didn't have the chance to read them before I went out with my mentor today. I drove 442 miles today. We are actually heading to South Carolina. My mentor also said he hauls regular trailers too on the way back, not just containers. So hopefully it all works out. I think I will stay with him for my first 50 hours and see how I feel if I am getting the proper training I need when I solo out and do van. If I am not them I'll get another one then :/.

I forgot to add as a port driver you will also haul van loads. Sometimes more than containers but will always end up in southern California

It actually may be a better experience for you since you can learn another aspect of trucking. I don't do ports I do railroad but the containers and chassis are the same. There are some tricks to learn to save you time. Always good to know if something comes up later in your career. Sounds like you're getting the miles so far, stay safe.
