You have to have one to work on River systems, like the Ohio and Black Warrior River in Alabama. You work at a Chemical plant on the river, you have a TWIC Card

I bought a Ford - for the first time in my life. The damned dealership can't keep a roof window from leaking. They fix one side, the other side leaks.

Bunch of retards.

Sorry snowflake. Don't want a TWIC? Go work somewhere else.

Seems pretty silly to bitch and moan about something that actually increases your marketability.


Based on what, exactly? What, specifically, can you do better than someone without the card? Is it a peter-pumping card?

but the good part is that now it gives you TSA pre-check automatically.


How does this work. Do you just show it at the pre-check entry?

Someone does not understand "marketability" at all.

The entire safety council program is a money grab. You’ll sit there all day to listen to OSHA tell you the rules, then listen to your company tell you the same rules then listen to (ex.) Exxon tell you the rules then listen to (ex.) Exxon in Baytown tell you the same rules as the last 3 classes you took...

And if you do turn-arounds you’re sitting through this 3-6 times a year.

My company pays for ours but I've always said, if I have a passport, why do I need a TWIC card? They both are the same background checks.
And if I have a TWIC card, why do I have to have a background check to buy a gun?

Felons can get TWIC cards. It’s kind of a pointless thing if the companies are doing background checks, anyway.

Also, If someone doesn’t have a TWIC card, they’re allowed access as long as they’re with someone who does. Which makes it even more pointless.

Ive escorted people who didn’t have them. They were just told that they had to be with me. Then they’d pick me up and leave the non TWIC people there to work while I went to a meeting. shite gets swept under the rug like everything else.

Even worse is when you go to different ports and the TWIC isn’t enough, you then have to get port ids at $25-$50 a pop. The price isn’t the problem it’s the additional bureaucratic BS every time you have to go to a different facility.

Your pre check number is on the back of the TWIC card. You just enter it when you book your flight or on your airline account.
