The TSA is requiring all personnel that access a water supplied facility have TWIC (Transportation Worker Identification Card) credential by April 15, 2009 or earlier as the port designates.  The only site closer than Richmond VA is Huntington WV and their hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday.  Additionally the site requires an appointment for enrollment.  At issue is the distance to Huntington and its conflict with those of us that operate 24/7 on 12-hour shifts.  To be available during those hours most drivers would have to stop work and travel out there for the appointment.  In this time of shortages in product, drivers and HOS regulations, it is virtually impossible to get this done.
