Advice On How To Get The Best Training Possible
Topic 28775 | Page 2
Okay thanks Kearsey - thanks all. At this point it's a matter of getting the Hazmat , TWIC and Passport and then just waiting for the right time.

HAZMAT:
Hazardous Materials
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations
TWIC:
Transportation Worker Identification Credential
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

At 8 mos Prime would basically put you through their"schooling" portion without giving you the exam. This is their "refresher course". You will deliver loads just like I did with my permit but the trainer will be in the seat next to you until you are ready to team. They wont charge you for this refresher but I suggest you continue working. Prime is very strict about work history.
