I remember this came up in a conversation a few weeks back so for clarification i've decided to post it here for everyone to be aware of. Can a unit be embarked in a non dedicated transport at the start of a game (or come in from reserves within one), or must they enter the vehicle during play.

The difference to a dedicated transport is that a dedicated transport must be either deployed with the unit that purchased it, or empty. Any other unit type that is allowed to be carried by the dedicated transport can only enter one during gameplay

Q: Can a unit start the game embarked in a nondedicated
transport vehicle? (p92)
A: Yes, as long as its unit type is allowed to embark
onto that vehicle and it does not exceed the transport
capacity.
