Pros: health benefits, lunch time taken at your discreation.
A typical day as Brinks would include a sign in. Then I would check the truck with a complete inspection, proceed to load the truck and head out to the stops on route. There are usually about 30-40 stops a day, which have to be done within a certain time limit. There is a mensenger that rides along with me to process each stop. Once all the stops have – more... been completed, I head back to base to unload the packages and take full inventory. The hardest part about my job is working through traffic to make the time constraints for each stop. What I enjoy the most about my job are my co-workers. They are helpfull and good company. – less
