If you got the name of the company on the truck, you should really email them the pics and location and time of the truck so they can track it down.

that's crazy people always in a hurry cutting corners instead of doing it the right way......i'm no transport driver so i cant vouch for the right way but i am sure the doing it the right wouldn't bend the frame

I thought I recognized the dealer. Elite Motors is a High-End luxury car dealer
on eBay. Could be one-in-the same.

Must be a newb driver (or just a complete idiot). A transport driver with any kind of experience knows you chain at the axles, not the frame. Look where the chains go... right to the end of the frame horns on both ends.

His insurance company is gonna love this. You even have the perfect photographic proof of his screwup.
