Unless you plan on loading out of Ports then I would say no. I load a lot of container stuff but its already in a warehouse from the port.

It's a good idea to have it, might help you snag a load. I needed it for chemical plants & seaports.

Have not used my twic card since i've had it and i got it the year they came out. Bin to the port of newark and other ports and places they say you need it and have never bin asked. When it comes up to renew it i will not. Some places do require it but you can still get in with an escort and by paying a fee. Just a big money grab if you ask me

Thanks for all great answers!
So if You see TWIC load is it generally paying better??? -
I always remind the broker that it costs money out of my pocket to maintain a TWIC card, and since the load requires one it should pay extra. I have been successful in getting add-ons, usually a rate increase along with $25-$75 to the driver. They had it budgeted to pay an escort for a non-TWIC driver, so why shouldn't I get that cash for having a TWIC?mp4694330 Thanks this. -
How do you go about gettin a Twic Card when you live no where near one of the offices?
