    TWIC OR Transportation worker identity card. Is a card that gets you in sea ports. Not a really must have imho, when 1st starting out unless you hauling containers.

    So I may not need it right away, but what's the detriment to getting it right away? I guess I'm one that feels, "get it all done once!". Unless the upfront cost is prohibitive, while I'm at the DMV, just get it all done. Please shed some light for me if this is convoluted thinking.

    Just can't go to any dmv to get TWIC card. When I got mine I had to go to a separate office fill out paper work. But it might have changed I got them when they 1st out I was on a dedicated run pick up at port in Gulfport, MS and new Orleans. At time it was 135 bucks. And have to renew every 4/ 5 years unless that has changed let mine expire in 2013

    Unless you are planning on doing port work I would not worry about it. I looked into it one time and found that I would have had to travel from Columbus, OH to either Cincinatti or Cleveland to get it. Not worth it.

    We have an office right here in Rock Hill, it's only about a mile or so from the DMV office. I may be "retentive" about preparation but I'd much rather get it all done once and not have to worry about making time to go get more documents. I'm NOT happy any time I have to go sit in an office waiting on a <ahem>..........public servant.
