Lansing Grand River Assembly has rail but no loaders needed to drive builds onto the rail autorack, therefore all are loaded onto a truck hauler. Those builds whose ordering dealership is less than six hundred miles away make their journey by truck with no rail involved.

Those going by rail are trucked to one of the rail heads equipped to load the autorack. These include Charlotte, New Boston and Toledo.

Once the build is released for shipping GM gives up control to the dispatching company, in our case Jack Cooper.

Timing of shipping and dealer delivery is unpredictable, but often if traveling by road figure three weeks from 4000 to 5000. West coast deliveries say about six weeks.

Haulers carry a mix of vehicles, making a Camaro only load a rarity.
