What you say is quite logical, which also means it is probably wrong.
Literally my employer in a nutshell lolWhat you say is quite logical, which also means it is probably wrong.
I still believe parts are a factor, obviously do not know their business intelligence/rules and how they rack and stack things. While the following hypothetical is completely fictitious and simplistic, lets assume the following:What you say is quite logical, which also means it is probably wrong.
My VIN is quite a bit before yours, we have very similar builds, and we live about an hour and a half away from each other, but my order is still languishing in D status.
Here's a build sheet for a Laramie G/T Night Edition.
Well if they are grouping orders why would they build one for Connecticut? I am in Ma. if that was a criteria then would they not produce some for the NE to ship with the one from Connecticut? What they are doing makes very little sense to me? They seem to be taking VIN's at random. There must be some sense to it from their end? I wish we knew what that was so we could figure out when we might get our trucks.
I'm not saying whether they are grouping by geographic location or not (I just don't know), but if they are then it's not likely "by state". It would probably be "by shipping zone". For example, trucks going to Connecticut are listed as "Zone 32-New York", along with trucks shipping to Maine, New York, New Jersey, etc. Just guessing here, but they probably load rail cars to these zones, and then they're broken down and dispersed within those zones.
Come on everybody knows the friends and family get there trucks first we have a long wait ahead of us till they are built.
I do not know if my theory is correct, but it makes sense. To me at least. I do not know the threshold of how many trucks it takes to justify to them to load on a train and send to a certain region by rail? From a business perspective though, it makes more sense to me to build and get out of the factory vs building in sequential order and possibly having to store trucks for weeks/months until you can get the truck on a train to be shipped to a certain region of the country. They're not going to build 200 trucks earmarked for the Northeast if the breakeven point to ship out there is 500 trucks.
Your theory could be correct. It makes sense. What is your VIN? I am just trying to find out where your order was to where mine is.

That is interesting mine is 120442. I guess you may be right about them grouping for shipping purposes. Seems like the 120XXX group has had no trucks built yet. I remember years ago when the VIN number could be traced back to the day when they built the vehicle.
Maybe but mine will be headed to Mark Dodge in Louisiana!! Along with ALL of their other trucks! So the speculation that Georgia orders fewer trucks doesn't hold water. I suspect Mark Dodge alone does more volume that just about any state. (No data at back that up)
I feel like we need a separate Mark Dodge tracker

I just used that as an example. The point being, there are numerous variables ranging from zone being shipped to size of gas tanks. It will never be as simple as truck A has Pano roof and B did not, which is why B was built first. Pi Esq (who VIN is 20k lower than mine) and myself are both in same region, have Limited on order, but he has more options than I do. When comparing him and I, it could have been a shortage of a single component that delayed his build and allowed mine to move forward. John Doe in North Dakota could have ordered 2 months before me with exact same build as myself and be waiting because there are not enough vehicles in his region on order to build his and ship there. That is really all I was trying to illustrate.
