Hopefully shipping will be back to normal by the time Broncos hit the ground. Right now its a NIGHTMARE, prices are high and even then things are really hard to get moved. Buying program cars locally (around 250 miles), last year $200-250/car would get them to you in a couple days. Last programs I got it was $400 and took over 2 weeks. Broker I used said its because of the extra $600 unemployment none of the drivers are running since they can make more staying home, so after it ends this week, things might get back to normal, and shipping better be normal by next summer or I'm going to need to find either a new line of work or stock in Crown Royal.
I'd be surprised if you could get full loads put together, I just don't see enough volume, especially when you figure they'll arrive at all different times to get them hauled together. But getting full loads isn't that important (slightly cheaper that way) shipping one at a time isn't a big deal, we've done lots of specialty vehicles over the years and, yes, you need to plan for it to take a couple weeks scheduling before they find a truck to pick it up and a week for shipping, so I'd rough estimate 3 weeks to the coasts (some will be longer, some will get picked up first day if a trucks in the area head that way with an empty spot), but in the scheme of the wait is nothing.
