    3526 for my 2015 V6.....Don't know about the GT or EB, seems like the GT might be heavier with the V8 in it ??

    You can bet that if it would work they would be doing it. I sure hated loading 10 for a city load with Cassens, but I admire the company so much now that I don't work for them that I try to think "what would Albert do" when running my business. No one in the carhaul business out loads them!

    I load Vettes and Camaros at least twice a week, they are a pain, it gets easier but manual shifts still get me nervous. I have tried loading them using the side mirrors like some guys do but I can't stay lined up or maybe I need to try harder.
    They both have 'mode' switches you can set to snow and ice, that helps. More so on Camaros. I was loading Camaros in Lansing, Mi. after a snow storm and could not get the wheels to spin, works great once you have some momentum.

    While we are talking about Cameros--I do have a funny story of one. I was loading out of a rail yard when I heard a SS start up. (Little different sound than the v-6 ). Anyways the new guy loading next to me, pulled it up to the back of his truck and revved the engine..whatever. So he had a grocery mix of vehicles and had no idea where to put the camaro. His belly deck was already raised flat across from loading the unit behind the cab. I had him back it in, and helped him position it with the rear end hanging over the 5th wheel. As I started to walk away, he revved the engine again...and....forgot he still had it in gear. That Camaro LAUNCHED itself towards the rear of the truck and did not stop until the rear tires were over the trailer axles!! The miracle was that the rear end never fishtailed one inch! Straight as an arrow it flew...he was shaking by the time he rebacked it....lucky man...

    We are bound to cross paths occasionally. I will look for a Lansing rig with Vettes going north.

    We already did this past Friday. You were going south on 71 just N of Lvl, I was going north. I hollered on the radio for Banker but you were out of range or trading on the Forex on your phone, lol.

    This is much less exciting, I still think it's funny. I had a dead (was there any other kind) Yugo loaded on a hi mount trailer over the 5th wheel. I was chaining it back and had a safety chain attached to the front to stop it from rolling very far once I got it rolling. It rolled off, hit the end of the safety chains and the hooks on the Yogo snapped off like a twig. It almost became one of the 1st self-unloading cars as it rolled back up over the trailer tandems, then settled into a back an forth ride in the belly. Fun to watch, stayed straight, someone's POS POV.
