Default Shipping question?

Great news that shipping is official!
Does anybody know how many haulers they are using? The annoucement said 1000 Corvetts in the next two weeks, with 11 cars on each we need about 90 trips.

It's not a question of how many haulers. They build full loads within 10 days of cars completion going to the same general area.

Have no idea how many trailers the trucking company has deployed. Do know, however, these trailers are special, configured to transport only Corvettes. Several years ago there was a burp in new Vette transportation because of a shortage of these special configured trailers. Further, the companies drivers are hand picked and receive special training. Which their going to need loading cars with the cover on.
