if you can afford it i would say go ahead and get it,,,i worked for prime and they go "or" went alot to the ports in south jersey and like ezx1100 said better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

I would like to comment on your future employer.
Dont sell your self short, while your waiting to hear from Prime, start hitting up some of the dream carriers jobs and see what happens. Your waiting anyway, and I hear many smart people around here say the good companies dont need to advertise for workers .
Hows that for free advice? -
aiwiron Thanks this.

I, too, am going to Prime as soon as I graduate with my CDL. My recruiter told me that they will front the money for a TWIC and take it out payroll deduct in small increments. Same goes for a passport, as I do not have one.
Best of luck to you! I plan on going to SLC, UT on Dec 17th. -
Guess my last company lied to me then & that form I signed was a forgery or false document the company made up. I really don't care. Had to give it up for my last paycheck there. I was required to show TWIC at some chemical companies & all port facilities. No need to beat a dead horse. -
One advantage to getting it on your own would be that if you knew you were going to get on with a company that goes to port, or chemical plants, you would already have it.
That would make you more marketable than someone who doesn't have it. Also saves the company time and money from having to either wait or pay for your TWIC card. -
