The "Port Ready" Requirements
Hauling shipping containers (Drayage) requires more than just a license. To enter the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) terminals, you need security clearance.
Intermodal trucking is one of the most stable careers in the industry. Local routes mean you're home every night while earning competitive wages.
What is a TWIC Card?
The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) is required for unescorted access to secure port areas. Apply through TSA - the process takes 4-6 weeks and costs ~$125. Start this BEFORE completing CDL training!
