So my truck has been built now more than 3 months a go and is still not shipping, and i can’t find any answers what the hold up is , how long did your truck got stuck at the plant before got delivered to your dealership

It must be one of the 90,000+ that is waiting on chips.

It's probably sitting in a field.

It’s normal today.

 

You make enough posts on the subject, haven’t you realized by now that this is the way it is when ordering a new truck?

There is also a shortage of trucks and drivers causing long delays.   Some areas of the country are much worse than others.  Friend is a truck driver for a big National retailer and he says, shortage of drivers is delaying everything.  They are offering drivers huge bonuses if they can recruit a driver for their team with starting salary of $97,500/yr.  He's been a driver for 22+ yrs and he says, back when he started everyone wanted to be a driver, now no one does.  Now its teachers and cops that are in demand.  Blame it on all the covid hype that started all this.
