So I am on way back to Springfield for test out, but have almost no backing practice. I have driven thousands of miles, heavy traffic etc. What kind of support will I get?

Went in to exam. Passed pre trip, But when backing messed up the parallel. Figures I only got to do it twice the entire training

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
