So I ordered my Gladiator on 11/6. Apparently it is built but in a delay status because Jeep is having issues getting delivery drivers and trucks.
I can't believe the truck is built already! That was fast.
I am sure many on here are in the same boat.
Right now the delivery window to the dealer is 12/6 - 12/20.

FCA must be monkeying with the hauler rates again. THey did this in September and slashed the outbound hauler rates out of Toledo by a rumored 30% or more according to the chatter I saw on car hauler FB groups.

This caused massive delays when the car hauler companies told them to kick rocks. They must be doing it again.

I don't think it's a driver shortage. It's a pay shortage. Cost of everything is going up yet trucking rates have been stagnant for years.

The market will find an equilibrium. If FCA feels enough pain they will raise what they pay. If the trucking companies cave first, they won't have to.
