Anybody have or need to get the TWIC card. My employer messed around and now at the last minute wants us to go get one.
For those of you that have never heard of this card I will explain it.
It is a federal background check to allow un-escorted access to coast guard regulated sites such as ports or any place that has water (boat)access. Part of the Home Land security act.
I wonder if grain elevators that have river frontage are also included.
I can see this having big repercussions on the trucking industry or at least some entrepreneur starting up a small business to shuttle trailers into and out of secure sites. Think about it......... Many truck drivers do not load at ports very often so they will not have the card. They will either have to have someone that does have a card pull there trailer into the port for loading or pass on the load. That may drive up rates because not everyone will be able to haul these loads.
