The Power Wagon is on the way.
Last week, the status was changed to "SHIPPED" on Jan 18, 2023. I received an email from Ram on 1/19/2023, saying the same.
Previous to this, the ram tracker website had an estimated delivery date of March 6, 2023. For the past few days (since the update on 1/19/2023), the estimated delivery was "TBD". This afternoon, the estimated delivery changed to Feb-10-2023. Interesting that the "Shipped" date in the tracker seems to update as the vehicle moves around on rail.
I also communicated with my MD rep. She said the truck in on the train, expected to arrive in Port Allen, LA on 1/30 and that it could take up to 14 days to get delivered to the them.
I see that the railcar departed from Saltillo ~ 1/18, went through Eagle Pass ~1/21, and has now departed San Antonio as of 1/22 at 8:14pm and is estimated to arrive in Addis, LA ~1/25/2023. From there it will take a short detour north to Port Allen, LA for railcar unloading. The carhaul company, Hansen & Adkins, will pickup and deliver to Mark Dodge.
My thought is that the dealership is managing expectations for the longest normal duration, and hoping for something much shorter. At any rate, picking up a new PW in early February is a fine timeline for me.
It seems that there is more fluidity in both production and rail shipping vs. a few months ago. I trust this bodes well for all of us that are eagerly waiting for our new HD truck orders. Good luck to all of us!

And the whole while it sat in Port Allen, on days I was working in Baton Rouge, on the way home coming off of the Mississippi River Bridge, I could see the holding lot wondering where my wide hipped dually was in the mass of metal.
...the tracker usually lags behind by days. But it's a computer program - garbage in, garbage out. Dealer is either on top of it or they're blowing sunshine up your skirt to make you feel on top of the world 
. Guess they finally found enough orders to ship to the MD/PA area.
