Security Standards - USA - American carriers urge 'common sense' to TWIC rule
Alexandria,Va.,USA -28 Sept 2006: -- The American Trucking Associations is reiterating its call to have the upcoming Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program streamlined with active security standards truckers are already complying with... The rule requires truck drivers who access ports -- and eventually other "safety sensitive" facilities -- do undergo yet another set of background checks and biometric security protocols... One background check and one credential for truck drivers would advance port security and benefit commerce, a top U.S. trucking executive testified before Congress on behalf of ATA...
