A few members builds took a truck to Laredo from the plant, then trucked to their dealer from there. I don't have solid arrangements yet, but my VLS indicates it will be rail to a yard in San Antonio and trucked to Austin. No clue how they decide the route.
The truck from the plant to Laredo makes sense. My dealer says that once it enters shipping status they have trouble tracking it. May be that trucks bound for my dealer never get put on a train. Can’t track a rail car if it’s not on one…

Coming south to the Brownsville area. Still KZ according to my dealer, just trying to think how long it’ll be once it gets on a train. Thanks for the info.
What's the last 6 of your vin?

Yes it is
Canadian orders play by different rules - not sure what process looks up there, down here, you get VIN right away but someone speculated Canadian orders no VIN until truck built. I know Window Stickers look different. Suggest you ask about others with Canadian orders and their experience

Anyone have any estimates for delivery times to mark dodge? I believe my truck is either getting ready to ship or already shipped. Just looking at the calendar thinking of when I need to be calling in sick to work lol.
If it shipped, it's probably on the train to Port Allen and due to arrive on the 25th. Renae told me up to 3 weeks to get from Port to Mark Dodge.

One step closer wish me luck booked flight to Mark Dodge for 1/7 pickup…

How did you get a firm date that it would be at the dealer on 1/7?

Correct, no VIN until built or close to it. My dealer which I know pretty well was shocked when I told him US buyers get the VIN in a few days.

I did not get a firm date I just had to hedge my bet and pick a date based on a friend who’s picking up his truck that’s already arrived, have flexibility if I have to change flights wish me luck!

It kind of shows you don't have much experience with Chrysler or Ram in particular. This is my fourth Ram truck ordered and one Hellcat. I have learned they send it to you when they get good and ready. Out of all the vehicles the one I'm waiting on now has been the slowest. The rest of them averaged 8-10 weeks. The Hellcat was the quickest in more ways than one...

Whoa, 165 posts! I need to step up my game…what’s been happening? Merry Christmas Eve btw.

Window sticker popped up around 1am according to Cryptostickers. Maybe it's out of KZLD and getting on a train today.

Thanks for the info, I’ll just hassle my sales rep once a month then for a status update here in BC.
