Had mine for a couple of months,you won't see any extra freight right now(if ever) because it isn't required yet.

How many of the plants you enter on a regular basis have posted dates for having TWIC for entry? I've counted 8 so far...all on the Gulf Coast. My TWIC card has been sitting at the TWIC office in Beaumont since July...their computers were down...then the Hurricanes came by....last time I tried to get it...DHS turned me away....the TWIC office is at Ford Park...and so is FEMA's operation HQ.

Isn't the TWIC being enfoced on a rolling basis? Meaning there is a rolling deadline for various ports to require it?

Yes it's a "rolling" implementation. Here is the link to their FAQ page, look down to compliance. http://www.tsa.gov/what_we_do/layers...ired_twic_date
New England comes on this week and around the country until about April 2009. It's federal so there may be delays. I have to go through Portland, OR to get mine, same as I did for HazMat. If you have a background check for hazmat after 2005 you can save $50, but it expires the same time as your endorsement, otherwise it's good for 5 years. My company is paying $250 to anyone who gets the TWIC, sort of like free money, except for the hassle to get it.

As of Sept. 12, TSA and the Coast Guard had enrolled 41 percent of anticipated participants in the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program, which has a deadline of April 15, 2009, for 100 percent enrollment
The passes wont really be needed except at ports of entry, right? I will probably end up getting one just because my 'comfort zone' will be most of the east and gulf coast. But i haven't been advised i need to start thinking about getting it yet.

I've seen notices posted at Lucite Beaumont...Lyondell/Equistar/Millinium's in Channelview and Victoria TX. All seem to be shooting for Nov 15th for having TWIC in hand to get through the gate.
