Twic card is for going to shipping ports and few other places if you are running out of those you need to get them otherwise it isn't worth it.

Hey-A TWIC card gets you in ports and related places.There's nothing directly related to hauling haz mat.Just a similar background check.Guess they don't want the same criminal history around either one.If you want access into places that need a TWIC card,it's a lot cheaper and easier to get the card.Take care.Brian

I have both TWIC and hazmat. I've only ever used the TWIC. I even used my TWIC before I got my CDL
edit: I have used my TWIC twice in nine months. One load I could not have done without the TWIC, the other I could have done without it, but would have had to pay a $75 'escort fee', and it would have taken more time to get loaded.Last edited: Jan 27, 2013
