Dusty,
That is exciting that your new truck has been shipped. If your dealer can't track it then don't think you will be able to. Do you know who the shipping transport company is? They might be able to track it.
Not to rain on your parade but when I was working my new company van was lost for about 3 months. They just knew is was in the area somewhere. Lost on the storage lot.
Pix please when you get it.

Good Luck
I went to the dealer the last week of Dec. They ordered my new 3500 CTD on Jan 2. Called the factory and it was built on Feb 2. Called last Friday (Feb 16) and they said it was in shipment and I should call my dealer. Called the dealer and he said is SHOULD be here on March 16. That’s 4 weeks to build it and 6 weeks to deliverer it. At a cost of $900 for delivery, I not to happy.

Yeah there delivery is a joke!! extra money for them. I am a car hauler and I asked them about that because I can get into the factory to pick cars up and I said so I can take the build sheet and go get my truck and save the fee right? They said um uh well that fee is for all the parts that were shipped to dodge to build your truck!!
Yeah whatever!!
Yeah whatever!!

In some areas you can! If you are a federally licensed motor carrier and are approved they will sub out sometimes. Which I am.
What I was mainly getting at is the way the sum up the transport fees. Even if you buy your truck from the dealer just down the street you still pay a high shipping fee. That is the story they give you is that you are paying for all the freight that it took to get the parts in to build your vehicle.

The reason they charge $900 across the board is so that no one dealer can have a price advantage over another. It has nothing to do with parts delivery charges, your dealer sounds like a bonehead. Some units don't go that far away from the plant at all, but some go all the way across the country, it all evens out.
Not my dealer I was just responding to the guy that started the post! Just another way for the factory to recoupe some fees as well. Parts delivery charges is what the guys at the factory say not the dealer. I was at Fords Buffalo Ny stamping plant and that is what one of the guys up there said.
