Part of the problem is that Jack Cooper trucking is no longer in business and the majority of trucks being shipped by road are shipped by independents. Probably because GM thought they could squeeze a few more over inflated dollars out of the transport side. 

Friend is a driver for a very large big box store (his route in in the SE) and they are having a hard time recruiting drivers that stay. To the point they are paying existing drivers a huge finding fee.  A local firm here been in the trucking business for over 30 yrs and recently closed. Reason, can't get enough drivers to keep it going.

I'm also hearing that drivers are quitting and going into hiding due to the ICE deportations....many drivers are illegals....Which is good and bad for sure....

Soooo.....ends up my truck was DELIVERED 4-30-25 to the incorrect dealership, was not caught immediately, returned to Flint and bayed 5-12-25. My salesman believes it has now been put to the back of the line for correct delivery to my dealer....unbelievable.... why would they not ship it from the incorrect dealership to the correct one instead of returning it to Flint and baying it....makes no sense.....wonder how many more instances of this have occurred...

I have a copy of build sheet and workbench movement. He is not lying. Not sure why you would infer that...My salesman is a friend and would not mislead me. Everything posted is documented and I have a copy. I did not order this truck(Ordered for dealer inventory) but it was supposed to be in my dealer's inventory by now. It would have it were delivered to the correct dealership. I didn't know I needed to post I had proof.....The purchase agreement was completed thinking the vehicle would be shipped to the correct dealer within a few days of completion. It has now been 2 weeks with no further workbench updates. Dealer Rep involved with no result.

This happened to a dealer here a while ago.  I seen the truck on the lot and tried to buy it only to be told, not our truck. Left here over the weekend by mistake.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By CamGTP · Posted

      I have an Autel, works great for what it is. Can't do some specific things because you need say the GM tool, VCDS for Audi/Volkswagon and others of course. But those times are few and far between for me.   The other tool I'd like to try one day is the new Topdon scan tools. Seen several video's on them and many youtube people review them.    I've never subscribed for updates or payed to do that stuff on my Autel, so I'm sure I'm missing out on some of the updates but I'm fine with that for now.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.
