Clipped a tree?

Looks more like they tried to load it on the lower level and almost got it stuck...

Wow. I would see about canceling the transport charge in lieu of whatever deductible you end up paying, if possible. There ain't no explainin' that one away.

my brother works for Manheim (the biggest auto auction and transport company in the country).

he's had dinners with actual truck drivers (they take him out to dinner to earn his business). he was pretty good friends with one apparently...guy brought down a tesla from his haul and offered him a joy ride. apparently taking joy rides with vehicles they are transporting is not unusual.

I had a 1960 Lincoln damaged during transport a few years back; 10k worth of damage. The shipping company wanted to fix the car at their repair shop, but I had to refuse their offer. They didn't like the fact that I wanted to have the car repaired at a shop of my choice, so they gave me the run around. I had to get my lawyer involved and in the end, the car was fixed and I got some extra coin in my pocket. The shipping company should have insurance. Hope it works out man.

I agree with @Terp that they tried to load it on a lower level and crushed the roof. I’ve seen new trucks arriving at the dealership get scrapped because of that kind of roof damage from transportation. I’d definitely be asking for diminished value.

That was definitely a tree hit, I transport new vehicles to the dealers (new cars only). The Raptors doesn’t fit on the bottom because they are two wide, top back or front of the trailer is the only place they fit. That guy hit a nice thick tree branch. Take those guys to the cleaners or get a lawyer, amateur hour with those guys. If you have a overhead hit you do whatever you can to make it right not be a douchbag and Weasel out of it.

"Lucky you spotted it"?
Stevie Wonder could've spotted that.
Get your insurance Co or a lawyer involved. I would push for a new cab. New roof with those big seams????
Probably won't get it but I would try.
