No more covered car carriers

Well, I guess BMW no longer uses covered carriers?

I don't travel like I used to but interstate 26 from Charleston port was full of them. Im not sure if they went to the dealers.

Perhaps as cars are reallocated they are not used on BMW transports?
Thus, the reason some are not covered. I say this because usually the cars have more transport plastic and foam on them for protection. Those cars look like they were prepped already.

No, they've quit using them on the west coast as well. One more black mark, I guess. They haven't been shy about increasing the transportation charge.

Anyone got a pic of covered carriers? I do not think I have ever seen one unless vehicles were all boxed up. Maybe I just do not drive on the major transport routes.
I thought that is why they had the External Skin Protection.
