TWIC card

[loaders]

Can anyone recommend or suggest a carrier who has a TWIC card for picking-up at a US seaport? I can only assume that there may not be many who have obtained this additional layer of security (???) that complicates our industry. Any assistance is appreciated.

Pretty much any local guys that services the port will have a TWIC card. If your driver doesn't you're going to have to get a local guy to pick up a the dock and then x-dock to your truck.

That's pretty much what I thought we would have to do. Thanks for the input.

some of the ports allow the driver to get escorted to load. This usually runs about $50 per hour based on our experience. I know of at least 1 port that even allows the driver to buy a day pass.

We tried the escort idea and were told no. The response we received from this port was " no TWIC card - no entry". We are persuing the local cartage pick-up solution. Thanks anyways.

Twic carded carriers

Deluxe Freight Services, and Truk-King(Zavcor) have Twic cards but only run reefers out of port. In case that helps.

You would think with the whole FAST and C-TPAT protocols that a FAST card would be the equivalent of a TWIC since you have to be security screened and approved for it.

Muskoka Trasport was making their driver getTWI cards. You may try them.

Can Canadians get their TWIC cards? The website seemed to be geared towards US drivers only
