    This must be the reason why they are getting rid of the penny?

    Brinks use a trailer to transport that kinda stuff? Not 1 of those cube vans with a driver and a security that kinda stuff? I kinda wonder how do they secure the load when the driver have to take a break, or go into the sleeper that kinda stuff...

    Probably the same way the military does on some of their loads.

    It would be a armoured transport they do not stop at truck stops. I met one of them once that Volvo they were driving was armoured, double glass side and bulletproof front and sides. They could not get into specifics about their work but that rig was really cool. I would think running team they do not stop for anything but fuel and food while they are loaded. Would have liked to get a few pics of the rig but was not allowed.

    Well guess Canada does not use armoured transports. Looks like they need to put them into a bulker and ship them back for rerolling. LOL

    Wonder if the police investigators get checked for pockets full of coins when they go home ?

    saw on the news they are allowing people with metal detectors in to the area to try to find " gold" at the spill site, they are ticketing anyone who parks on the highway, it's a 2 lane stretch, so they don't want another accident!!!
