TWIC question

If you haul containers out of ny/nj ports you need whats called sealink card,to obtain or renew such card a twic card is needed along with the pin.

 

I have had my TWIC for 11 years, I needed my pin once, recently. I go to ports and do a lot of military. I think I needed my pin at Fort Hauchuca AZ

 

It is. If you got hazmat it's the same qualifications almost to the letter. Give us yer money

 

I didn't even get asked for it at Dundalk Marine terminal but later someone told me they started using it for sure....

 

I had to show mine last month

 

Had to show my TWIC card once at the port of Tacoma, WA. Never been asked for pin #

 

I think the pin is for if you don't have the card on you.

 

That may be correct, ( I don't really think so because I can't see them letting you into Jacksonville Port without your card, pin number or no pin number, but I could be wrong.) but I do remember them saying there are certain circumstances where you would need both your card and the pin number but I honestly cannot remember what they said those circumstances would be.

 

I've had to supply both the card and PIN twice. We had a driver that couldn't find his PIN and they wouldn't let him load unless we had another driver go in and load it for him.

 

Yeah, I bet that went over real well with the boss...

Where was that?
