#1 - Open transport! Yikes!
#2 - Pic is so small, I don't know how anyone can read the plate.

Where The Hell did you get those statistics from ? “ 99.999%” doesn’t apply to any transport service - even mine …. No one who respects a car like that hangs it off the back of an open trailer to transport it unless they are a First Class Che@p@ss … Jim

“ 99.999%” doesn’t apply to any transport service - even mine …. So whats the difference? Your bias is obvious being a hauler and that makes your opinion easy to dismiss. Just because some use this mode of transport does not make them any less or more then ones who pay you.

That's the point. The vast, vast majority of cars end up being transported just like that at some point, including lots of cars worth as much as/more than that Super Bee. A number of high end companies like BMW transport their cars in enclosed trailers. Some low volume high end carmakers like Bentley even hire companies like Reliable to transport their cars from the port to dealers (A Reliable driver was telling me stories about how they need to be very careful picking up cars at the ports, as they aren't unionized and they've had union port employees offer to "help" load high end cars into the trailers and "accidently" direct them in such a way that they end up scraping the car!) Also, a number of OEMs wrap their cars in protective plastic for their shipping process. And another thing, the OEMs typically ship their new cars by rail, so the cars time on tractor trailers is for local transport, not cross country. The cross country part is on a semi enclosed railcar.

Comparing a classic car being transported to a new car is a nonstarter. One you can dial up the factory and get it replaced without much fuss. One you can’t. It’s not even in the same universe.
I want my fair share

The cross country part is on a semi enclosed railcar. You are correct for sure. I've seen the BMW trailers, the long haul shipping is by train, etc. Reliable shipped my Trans Am from Colorado, and when they arrived at my house, it was my TA, and 4 new Ferraris in the trailer. All 100% true. Still, the majority of cars are going to end up on an open trailer at some point, for some distance. Freaking out because this Bee is on an open trailer is silly.
