    i have two questions about the app i'm filling out. the first is they ask for my TWIC number. i see numbers on the top right corner of the back of the card and two sets of numbers under the bar code are either of these them? the second question is they ask what i expect to be paid is .32 cpm about right or am i too high/low with 3 years local experience no otr.

    I don't have a twic card, so I can't answer that question. 30-33cpm seems about right for 3 years experience. Are you going to be running local/regional? or straight city driving? If it is straight city driving, I'd look in to hourly pay. For that, something around $17-$20 an hour would be fair. Work it out to around $150-$200/day. But that's just my opinion, I am sure there will be many more, different opinions to follow mine.

    Could even be the numbers above the bar code.

    Never thought about it.

    there are many "sets" of numbers on a TWIC card.........frankly, i leave that blank myself.

    but if i get an answer, i'll post it here for all.

    update..........

    ok, i may be wrong, but this is all i got so far...........

    they cannot possibly mean our 6 digit PIN number...

    now upon searching for answers and using a whole lotta different search words/phrases, all i can see thus far is that 1.4 million cards been issued. now, that's 7 digits........at the top right corner (back of card) there are 8 digits.

    the first 2 (for me) are zero's.....followed by a 7 then other numbers. so, (and again i may be wrong) what I think, is that i have number 00700000 (not my real number, only the 7 is), meaning i am 7 hundredth thousand numbered card......

    because down at the bottom left, i have a 02XXXXXXX, and i hardly think i was only the 200th thousandth applicant issued a TWIC card..............

    just a theory................???
