The Chargers go directly to the border Two hours further down the road. The Challengers are going to a company called Ground Effects in Windsor there is also a mini van plant there in Windsor so there should be plenty on mini vans to fill the loads. Why they did not address the issue about the car being to low I dont know but I made a big issue out of it after the I seen the damage on one of them. I also asked the engineers on that chat session and they denied that the Challenger was to low. So now they have about 70 Challengers with damage.

Budman,

I've seen a post quite a bit earlier that referenced a shipping issue that the cars were to low. Why hasn't Dodge corrected this issue. This had to be back in APRIL. How many trucks are being utilized to transport the challengers from Brampton to Windsor and from Windsor to Michigan? (1)? Why would they be waiting on mini vans to fit in the belly? Are the minivans produced in Windsor? Why not the charger or 300 they are built at same plant?

OK and here is why. As i posted before the tracker updates one time a day at 9:50AM EST Mon thru FRI and is one full day behind what your car is doing. And the plant worked on Saturday So your car went into frame Thurs then paint Fri and the trim Sat and by Sat night it went quality check

Budman,
One would have thought this would have been easily fixed. I'm not familiar with the intricate aspects of a car hauler But couldn't some kind of a shim be utilized, such as a 2x12 or something similar to be bolted on to raise the ride height?

They dont want to send loose parts and have the dealer put them on it costs more than they want to spend. They could use shock blocks There are a few car haulers that will take 8 but they are using them betewwn Brampton and Windsor and the update on the tracker is 9:50 AM EST you can try it around 9:30EST and it will tell you to contact your dealer and that is as good as calling INDIA.

I am just guessing but I would say about 2400 I will post a good number when I find out. Give me a day to dig in to it. I have something very important going on in the morning.
