Correct. The chassis builder aligned it during assembly. No coach body on it. So in one way it's loaded when you buy it, but loaded as for travel is the best way to have it aligned.
And if it's a Ford chassis, you need to find somebody who will align not just the Toe setting, but also the Caster and Camber settings. Those two will usually require changing the upper ball joint bushings. That shop should also set CASTER to the high end of the acceptable range. NOT the 3-degree center of the range, more like 5-degrees, bumping toward the 7-degree max.
