"Shippable" to "shipped" time frame

[pbzzz]

2022 2500 6.4 Hemi Ordered from Perkins Motors in Colorado Springs, Co. 3 weeks ago (06/06/2022) dealer informed me that truck just went "shippable" today . Question - what would you expect the time frame window to be of how long (weeks/days) between first "shippable" and the truck leaves Saltillo ? "Chugachuga choochoo . . . chugachugachoochoo" .? ? Guessing the long end of that question / answer is FOREVER like "my Charlie on the MTA " (old song). Asking FC gets me NOwhere .

there is no STATUS called Shippable

There is a Status called KZ

That's a good question. I'm hearing 4-6 weeks in some cases, but that's coming out of Michigan. The problem these days is shipping delays, because we can't get people off their asses, and back to work after the Covid fiasco. Good luck, I hope it's soon for you.

order date doesn't matter (I believe). I can't get an actual detailed "Status" from CF no matter how I ask (chat/phone/email). On 06/06/22 my dealer rep said "just went into shippable" status . . . whatever that means . When I call or chat CF they just say "it's still in Saltillo" , won't know anything else until arrives at dealer . Built date was May 21 (ya I know . . . weekend). This is frustrating - seems truck has fallen into "black hole" since "shippable" . . . WHATEVER that MEANS . All I am trying to do is get a window of time when this truck is expected to leave Saltillo . I realize the end of that window is ?eternity? Thanks for responding .

More then likely your truck has been loaded on to a rail car & waiting for said rail car to be filled, rail cars do not move until full thus no way for FCA to tell you when it will ship....

Also that freight car has to filled with vehicles that are going to

Rolla is just to the east of I-76 at exit 11 a bit north of Commerce City.

Union Pacific Auto Unload Facility​

Brighton Rd, Henderson, CO 80640

About 16 Heavy Duty Rams would be needed to fill a RR Freight Car with the destination of Colorado

06Dodge , GTYank - now that makes sense to me . Thanks to all for replies !

Found out last night from dealer rep that I'm in 'KZLD' status . . . the infamous "black hole" of CFA . No idea of what this means to me .

 

[GTyankee]

They are still waiting for the freight car to be filled
It won't leave with a partial load

 

[pbzzz]

Thanks GTYankee . . . that eases my mind .

scitkw - wrong answer . thanks anyway

 

[pbzzz]

FYI - For those who helped and responded . . . Dealer called "truck is on train and headed out of Mexico" .

 

[pbzzz]

truck arrived at dealer 07/28/22

So about 7 weeks from "shippable" to dealer. Sounds about right. That's what my dealer is saying right now.

Congrats on the new truck!
