    I did that for three years and no the trucks are not governed (at least ours weren't) they are just slow. Here is a little fact for you. Most armored vehicle robberies are inside jobs. ie a driver taking off with a truck. It happened once with the company I worked for. They caught the guy that day and he is still in prison. In the three years I worked there only one robbery happened and it was inside a Costco.

    What a #######. How far did he think he was going to get in an armored vehicle like that? Lol. All those guys have security licenses so all his information and mugshot is right there. At least think it through and make a respectable attempt.

    Lol I know right. From what I was told due to it happening before I started there was that he dumped the truck and took off with the money. He was caught because they tracked his cell lol #######.

    That’s what I was wondering, I was running 70 and I had one pass me with ease. Got me thinking about the others.

    They nab him anyway. But if you wanna go out like that, at least do it so you got time to live it up a few days first. Order some pizza, call over some strippers, have a good time.. then get caught. But get caught you will. If you want to get away with it, get into politics. Mafia learned with Al Capone and Nicky Thompson make people love you first. Now they are in government.

    OK everybody start calling all the federal marshals to keep them busy while these guys make their get-a-way. Stay out of those buckeye coops while running.

    I started at that rate in 2000 but we capped out at 20 an hour guys capped out averaged around 60k back then I think brinks and Loomis were a little higher than us and I do think we were governed ....plus we got free food from most of our customers on a route

    We had someone come into the barn at night from his run tied up the guard and the vault workers robbed the whole vault now that's the way to go ....had a few forget to lock doors and had money fall out the back. Allways wondered about that heard of one getting hit for another comp in my area and one did get killed on a route I did in long beach before I took it over but we allways got an off duty cop as back up on that run....

    You guys know there are little doors for them to shoot out of . One poster has hinted at it , that people try, but only got the cash in the store , not the money in the truck.
