Where The Hell did you get those statistics from ?

“ 99.999%” doesn’t apply to any transport service - even mine …. down

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 … tsk

How many OEM's transport new cars in enclosed trailers? 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.
