Stealing distant deliveries is the most exciting part of the update

I am wary of inviting a random stranger into my posse to do delivery runs, as I'm not sure why they wouldn't just leave my posse just before the end, and shoot me in the back and steal my stuff.  Maybe I'm just being paranoid, and/or the financial reward for them staying in is greater than for betraying me at the end.

Not saying people wouldn't do that but amazingly R* seem to have set it up that its not worth the trouble. If you're doing a full 100 goods distant delivery, a posse member stands to make $312. If they do what you say and hijack the wagon I think they have to take it to their own camp to steal the goods (not sure, never done it) which is a major hassle to them as it may be a long trek from your delivery point and they have to fend off 1 extremely irate ex-posse leader to win.

Thanks for reply. I will check that menu and see if it can be scrolled down further, havent tried that.  I too like this mode, trading and delivery. I attacked a wagon that had 4 players with them. Killed them with deadeye but they of course got me and ganked me good and long for the wagon to escape again. Will there only be rockstar servers and never dedicated servers to have custom playmodes like the life servers on arma3?

Never tested that specific scenario, but I don't think they could. 

My hypothesis: last night a posse mate shot someone who killed his horse.  Player parlayed with the posse. I left the posse to avenge the horse, and I couldn't touch him due to the parlay, even though I didn't shoot him and wasn't in the posse anymore. So I doubt they could attack because they were in the posse when mission started. I am interested in finding out for sure though.  I'll test it tonight or tomorrow. I'm intrigued. 

But.....

In addition to that, you don't get money or goods for stealing a wagon. You get a portion of the "materials" . The traitor would still need to produce goods and deliver to make money, putting them even farther behind, when they could have gotten $312 already

And....

The chances of that happening are so remote I wouldn't worry.  You are FAR, FAR, FAR, more likely to lose your wagon to the biggest wagon thief in the game.....ROCKSTAR.

Thanks for all the replies - I've been running 100 goods distant deliveries solo until now, which carries its own frissant of excitement (had to deploy explosive ammo last night to discourage a lone opportunist), but will try inviting a posse next time, if its not worth them ganking me.

If you ever see me online when you need to make a run (I see that we're both Xbox), feel free to invite me to posse up to escort the delivery in.  I run better security than my dandy suit, fancy waistcoat and curly moustache would suggest!
