Message:: [QUOTE="Hammer166, post: 12303630, member: 9823"]Exactly this last part. We had to hire a consultant to even get us to the right person to talk to about hauling spot buys. And it took a few years of doing those before they'd even consider allowing us to bid a ramp because they didn't think we were big enough. To the OP, as far as length of haul, for most manufacturers, the loads are at most regional, rarely more than 500 miles from origin. The higher line imports tend to ship from fewer points, and thus have a longer average haul, but true long haul is a rare thing in new cars. Even Tesla's putting more on rail now, and their long haul stuff was a total ####show from what I've heard.[/QUOTE]
