Card issued if you check out. Easy enough but cost is about $100. TSA is a test and certificate issues. Landstar has the test for our contractors. They plan on opening it to our brokers. When it is available I'll send the link so you may participate and get TSA approved.
I have the TWIC card, it is now $135.

Will have to check on TSA, I thought that was part of TWIC.

In that case, the plant pumped it off, so sucked, I guess.

I thought FAST cards were for Canadians coming into the US?

Not sure about driving in Canada--cold, snowy, and they don't like Texans, is what I hear. If the pay was significantly higher, maybe, but I think the company pays the same cents/mile, so I'll just stay in the States. I was thinking about renewing my passport, but if I did, I would be tempted to travel again, and I am trying to save $$$.
