Armored transport services standalone as a unique and specialized industry that requires equally unique and specialized equipment and technology. Because the primary function of any armored vehicle is to ensure the protection of its occupants as well as the valuable assets it contains in the event of a threat or attack, it must be outfitted as such. Armored trucks need to be able to endure gunfire, explosions, and the force of any other weapon that may be used against the vehicle or its occupants. Most importantly, armored trucks must be physically capable of performing despite dangerous situations or threatening situations ensuring that it can be driven safely out of any bad situation.
Keeping all of the functions of an armored truck in mind, it only makes sense that the materials used to construct such a vehicle should be durable, if not entirely bulletproof. However, armored trucks are not bulletproof; they are bullet-resistant. In fact, even the sturdiest “bulletproof” vest is technically not bulletproof but instead they are incredibly bullet-resistant. No matter how protective, thick, or sturdy a material may be, it’s impossible to call it perfectly bulletproof because with enough firepower, every material is ultimately penetrable. (1) Therefore, it’s vital that armored vehicles be made of the most durable materials so that they can withstand substantial attacks, giving occupants time to navigate away from an attack and drive to safety.
The glass that is used to outfit armored trucks consists of several layers that create an incredibly protective, thick bullet-resistant windshield. As a result, drivers may experience distortion in certain areas, specifically where the glass curves. Furthermore, the more protective the glass is, the thicker it is, and therefore the greater the visibility issues it may present for the driver. It’s important that all of our drivers practice driving these vehicles and learn how to account for that distortion, which may be even more prominent in the dark. At Blue Line Protection Group, our team of experts are experienced at driving armored vehicles fitted with bullet-resistant glass.
Glass aside, the rest of an armored vehicle’s exterior must also be built to withstand attacks resulting from all different types of weaponry and explosives. Different materials are certified at different levels of ballistic and explosive resistance, which classify the volume of firepower that it can withstand. Blue Line Protection Group’s fleet of armored vehicles incorporate all of the latest technology when it comes to safety. Our trucks feature some of the most durable bullet-resistant materials that are available industry-wide because we hold the safety of your assets as well as the safety of our team members in the highest regard. Our armed team members are trained to be the primary line of defense behind the armor of these trucks.
