She's on the railroad!
Ordered 8/20, was D1 for at least 2 weeks. Now she has been shipped Union Pacific from Laredo, TX due in Toledo, OH 10/11.<br><br>I don't think I've been this anxious since well probably the last time I ordered a new truck

Re:She's on the railroad!
Hopefully your info is just out of date. I just checked mine yesterday and it was shipped, yet when I called last week on Thursday they said it was still D1. So either they move them through very quickly or they don't update their info quickly. My wife thinks I'm a bit obsessive so perhaps I should not have told her that now I know what rail car she is on

Perhaps that difference is something that was on hold?<br><br>Anyway, best of luck to you and we'll cross our fingers for your new girl's safe and expedient arrival

Re:She's on the railroad!
Quite a few different things on the options, but nothing to hold her up I wouldn't think, unless it is the silver paint.<br><br>Thankfully, DC is closed for the day to spare me the pain of calling and hearing it is still on hold<br><br>Good luck on getting yours!<br><br>Hunter

Re:She's on the railroad!
When she arrives in rail terminal, let dealer know she is there. Mine got lost in storage yard because trucking company just made up easy loads near the front of yard. My salesperson, Fleet Manager, says new trucking company is as bad as old one. >

Re:She's on the railroad!
Well then - I guess mine will get here in time to be a Christmas present. Ordered the "white ghost" Laredo LWB dually, HO six-speed on 10-10. When all dealer add-ons and accessory shop add-ons are completed, it will probably be Christmas before I trade in the old '89. Anxious already.

Re:She's on the railroad!
Dealer called yesterday. Truck is scheduled to be finished on 10/31 and expect three to four weeks shipping. Looks like we'll have a Thanksgiving present rather than Christmas.
