Not clear....

If you apply for both you get a discount due to the background check being done already. Having TWIC like already mentioned, just makes you more valuable asset. You basically can enter any government bases, ports, etc.. It’s basically more convenient to have.

 

It’ll be separate from your actual drivers license. I let mine go because I never needed it for what I do.
You can use it also at airports which I did all the time. I only did it because it would aggravate some at the airports who didn’t know about it..I’m a real dink sometimes

 

Some fuel hauling carriers will want you to have a TWIC, as well.

Fuel delivery duty to port areas will often require it.

In my case -- I was hired (in part) for a fuel gig -- due to the fact that I already had a TWIC.

You can still go and apply for the TWIC and still get the discount. That’s because you already did the background check.

 

Yes, it would be great to do one background check for all credentials. But the government couldn't screw you over 4 times that way.
