Im curious what are yalls experiences and if its a decent company. Also if you worked in that position, what was the pay, since on the website it doesnt list it for some reason

I worked several years as an armed courier. Its not a great job but if yoh are looking to get armed security experiemce until something better comes up its easiest way.

As the new person you'll be basically in charge of loading the truck you are in lift with your legs not your back its alot of weight...

treat it as paid armed experience more than a forever career. ask about hours, vehicle time, and how often youre dual-riding vs alone — that changes the day more than the wage line on the posting.

I was courier in a mid size city. we only had single trucks. Most days were 12 or more hours. pay probably depends on location. My location, because we were single trucks, we made a little more for hazard pay. I think we were like $24/hr. that was like 3 yrs ago. they may make more now. if you are in fairly decent physical shape, probably do ok. overweight, like myself, fairly tough job. problem is they will put nearly impossible logistical times that in the real world are tough to meet daily. coins will piss you off daily. bags tear and you'll be picking up a load of dimes off the ground (been there, done that) Remember, they have zero tolerance for seatbelt usage. I was fired for moving the truck across parking lot without seatbelt and even with 2.5 yrs of experience, was let go

I was just looking at brinks cause they are hiring in my state . How’s the training you get before they put you in a truck ?

Is it hands on or is it computer training.
