New Truck transit time ?
Does anyone know, roughly, how long it takes for a new truck leaving Saltillo, Mexico to get to the Nortwest by train? Seattle, say? Also, about how long does it take from start to finish to kick one out the door? Thanks.

i used to work in a train yard where we unloaded new cars. after we unloaded and parked them, they were usually gone in about 2 or 3 days, so i'd say about a week from mexico to the nw

Did you order a Megacab? I think only the Megacabs (1500/2500/3500) are being built in Mexico these days. Everything else has been moved to St. Louis for MY 2006.
PS: April to July is three months.

Missed your second question, cant remember exact time frame but I think it was 3 or4 days once the build date is issued. Assuming no strikes and back orders on material etc. The transit time is the big delay.
