Update
Topic 9687 | Page 1
Hey Michael, are you going to try again somewhere?
I got sent home my first three attempts - that's right - I thought I had struck out. Finally I got my shot, and I've never looked back since!
Keep trying to get accepted somewhere else - with your good attitude, I'm sure you can land somewhere in a truck.

Are you referring to Paschall Truck Lines?
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
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.
