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.

looks like somebody took their ball and went home?? Didnt get a chance to see the replies before they were deleted....that's a shame.... Yes I get the feeling these types of delivery mistakes are happening all over the country....maybe even in Canada....
