Frustrated! Built over 2 weeks ago but not yet shipped

[csb70]

Ordered my Gladiator on 10/13, has been build complete for over 2 weeks and it's still just sitting in storage and not shipped. Anyone else experiencing this?

I ordered 10/15, went to KZ (shipped) status on 12/7. Haven't been able to get any updates from Jeep Chat or the dealer other than "we show it has shipped."

I'm in PA, north of Baltimore, so not all that far from Toledo. Dealer told me that my truck would ride on 3 trucks, then rail to Jessup MD then a truck to the Dealership. They don't know anything about shipping or timing until it hits Jessup. She also told me that once it's in Jessup it usually takes about 2 weeks to get to them. So here I am, trying to keep my sanity.

I ordered a Ram in May. It was built in a reasonable time, but it sat in the rail yard in Petersburg, VA for almost a month waiting to be trucked. Got it in August. Not much that Jeep / Dodge can do about that part.

I am in the same boat. I my vehicle was built and sent to storage around 11/25 or 26 I think and has been there since. I think mine was among one of the first couple built yet there are lots of people getting theirs on orders a month after mine.

Totally get being frustrated but this is not Jeep‘s fault. If people would just get back to work and we had enough truckers this wouldn’t be an issue

Mine has been delayed a bit.
I totally get the frustration. But try to keep perspective.

If you are complaining about your new 60K truck purchase being delayed, things must be going ok in your life. Tis the season to be thankful if this is the biggest hardship you face in the near future.

Some folks here have stories before covid of their truck sitting in a yard driving distance waiting weeks. No magic words for ya but I hope the wait pain suffering eases

Then why are some peoples JTs being shipped to the same dealer that I have ordered from, and mine was built almost two weeks before theirs. And it still has not shipped? I know of four people so far on this forum who have already received theirs and were all ordered and built after mine. No reason jeep can’t prioritize deliveries better. Truck shortage or not mine and several others on this forum that I have talked to should have shipped first. Yea I know I’m bitter and jealous.

Going to be a lot of frustrated people for some time. The shipping and logistics is so backed up currently and likely will remain so into 2023 from last info I had seen. Rail and Overland Trucking is at an all time high due to lack of trucks and trailers. They cannot find anyone to take the jobs other than folks with criminal records or drug users both of which won't fly in today's market. The younger generations do not want the jobs even though they have tried offering more money and perks they still are not getting many candidates. We don't even bother with rail any longer. Our stuff gets stuck and lost where we have no access to it. We are only trucking everything now if at all possible

Same boat for me. I ordered 10/13 and truck was built and shipped to storage (status JS) on/around 11/30. It has just been sitting there since and Jeep Chat nor dealer know why. I agree that it is very frustrating seeing other forum members who ordered later than me receive their trucks before me. I understand that Jeep cannot control the number of truck drivers or other supply chain issues but in my opinion could better organize the shipping process to better mirror the order date. This is especially true when I see folks who ordered after me getting delivered to my dealer before me.

Once again highlighting the requirement for a factory pickup option ala the Corvette. Especially now with such shipping issues. I'd gladly pay $500 plus to pick it up from the factory.

You guys keep talking about less truck drivers. But never mentioned there are a lot less cars being pumped out as well. So it should equal out a bit.
