I waited 3 weeks to get it shipped from NJ to OH. Trucking company screwing around, I was not a happy female.

NJ to Ohio, you would think they would have dropped it off at a closer auto hub. Supposedly CSX hauls autos east of the Mississippi and has something like 28 auto hubs according to Wikipedia, (grain of salt), rail it all the way to Jersey from Wayne MI then truck it back to Ohio, I see your frustration!
At least a lot of us with build dates next week are starting to see window stickers so there is hope!

Here's a little interesting reading if you want to know where all the rail drop off points are for the various OEMs.

Hmm, I wonder if it stops in JAX or Orlando to get to Daytona? I'd guess JAX then I-95 SB?

Yeah it's interesting when you plug in the addresses on Google maps and see where some of the lots are located. I figure my truck went through 1 of 4 lots in Jacksonville. Still being reflected as "in transit" to the dealer in Lake City. Originally a 2/18-2/24 delivery window. Changed to 3/3-3-9. Told the general manager of the store here that locked it down for me that it wouldn't surprise me if that window moved again. Has to be related to a lack of transport truck capacity to the dealers. That's the only thing I can think of. My truck was released for shipping almost a month ago.

My trip into the dealer was a muli-stage event. Ist day they found one in Miamisburg, dealer would not work with my local dealer. So the next day they located one in NJ with all the options I wanted and a dealer willing to work with my local dealership. So then it was to ship the following week, then the next and it finally did the 3rd week. The trucking company kept putting it off on the shipping. I had a co worker check on it twice, (employed by the Big Blue Oval FYI) it kept listing as being in NJ. Got a surprise message at work it came in last Thursday and got out of work half a day to pick it up. Also took half a day Friday to drive it and spend time with the hubby.

Just a shot from yesterday. Finished the pin stripe on the driver's side before it got dark. Still have the passenger side to do tonight.
