Rambox/E-torque order tracking

[YoAdrian]

Am I the only one who attempts to interpret MOTS data....looking for patterns that probably aren't there? I'm trying to determine if trains destined to certain areas run on a fixed schedule. I see the train running to Nashville TN 3 times on a 15 to 20 day interval. If so, I have a 2 week wait at the New Boston yard. Anyone have any insight on how trains run?

No insights, but no you are not the only one who tries to see patterns in the chaos.

I’m trying to figure out why August Rambox orders WAY after many others are getting built now... colors? Pano roof? Wheelwell liners!? How do they sequence these builds on the line!?

IT IS OFFICIAL!!!! DAY 126

My truck was delivered to my dealer about an hour ago. I'll go do some paperwork tomorrow and shoot for a Wednesday or Thursday pickup.

I am *at this moment* the LEADER in the clubhouse for the longest wait for a RamBox equipped Truck to be delivered to a dealer from the time of order on this forum!
Check the Rambox Google spreadsheet

Records are made to be broken and I won't hold the title for long!!

Can't wait to see it in person and I hope everything checks out

What's your config? Hint - add it to your sig.
I was almost fully loaded in Ivory and I do think there is merit in the idea that the factory does runs of particular colors, configs, etc.

After studying the train patterns in MOTS and consulting my majik 8 ball, I have a(nother) theory....

The transportation tale is wagging the dog.

FCA is building vehicles they know they can ship based on constraints. Parts availability is a constraint...but so is transportation .

No shipping, no invoice, no money. Cash is King when decisions are made. Contracts for train and truck capacity are negotiated...and limited.

Thoughts?

I seriously can't believe how you are getting passed over time and time again. You must be going crazy

If their supply chain folks are worth a darn then you might be onto something.

I've seen this before in other industries. It certainly would explain the apparent random scheduling we're seeing here.

Especially when there are corporate bonuses to be had...
