the travel security and packaging were part of the contract arrangements.

I know a husband and wife trucking team that once hauled a Van Gogh exhibit. They had armed security (several cars). They said it was great because their shipment was guarded the whole time-even when they had a break. The guards where relieved at certain points on the itinerary. She also said that several other decoy vans left with the same entourage-but their truck hauled the real McCoy. She said the best part was getting to see the painting up close so to speak. They are the coolest truckers I ever met. They would come up to see the Kindergarten class (her sister) once a year and we always heard some great stories.
