Answer 1

different companies have different procedures.

some use 2 man teams and the driver stays in the truck, the other goes and gets the deposit or makes the drop off.

other companies use 3 men one stays in the back (cab) the driver and guard enter the buildings.

many companies have change delivered quarters nickels etc because they are so heavy.

these days it's not uncommon for one man to make pick ups.

the bags are sealed and all he does is throw them in the back.

many companies are using GPS to monitor the trucks, they know how fast the truck is going, how long it sits still.

the drivers must radio in to stop for lunch or a bathroom break.

now and then you hear about a truck spilling money on the highway so stuff happens.
