Huh????????

Back to the original point though, they just put little ramps between the cars, they can unload 20 cars just as easy as one car. Good luck!

James, thanks for the info.
The truck was unloaded 3/14 @ 1702.
I just got a call from the dealer & they are saying it could take up to 6 days for the vehicle to reach the dealership! He also said in the message, that they cannot call the trucking company & place some vehicles ahead of others.
I need to call them & figure out why....At this point, I am thinking it may be a union issue, but I'm not sure.

Well, at least the salesman has learned to be proactive. He actually called the trucking company before I asked about it!
No idea what D1 means. Have you asked the salesman to decipher it? Does he have any idea what it means?

I talked to the salesman, after I posted last night....It could take up to 6 days before the truck could get to the dealership! What kind of crap is this? It took 12 days for the rail car to travel 600-800? miles, now it takes up to 6 days for the truck to move 20 miles?
Is this a union operation? And the american people wonder why the big 3 are having problems? Not trying to start a union-political discussion, just irritated that this is taking SOOOOOO long!

Well, I just confirmed that it is union....local dealer has NO influence; it'll get here when it get's here.
The salesman appears to understand my sense of urgency (no wheels nor truck right now), and he is keeping an eye out for it.
Geico266, yea, a watched pot never boils, but, if you don't watch it enough, how do you know when it boils and is ready for cooking?
Patience is a virtue.
Proejct management is knowing what is going on, when things are supposed to happen, and ensuring things are executing according to plan!
What does this all mean.....GET ME MY TRUCK! NOW!
At least I have some sense of understanding what is going on...no matter how frustrating it is
