Oh well, at least it says "specialized" so we shall see just how specialized the truck looks when it gets to my house.
I will say one thing for 'AA' though. They keep you continually updated on everything that occurs, and they have a web page you can look up the "current status" of your freight.
This is part of an email I got from them today:
