My truck showed up today!!! I am really impressed with it. 1-20-15 order date. I'll post more pics when I get the lift, wheels and tires, and a few more goodies installed.

Anybody else loose their ETA like that and still get it close to the original ETA?


Mine went into In Transit on 3/11 heading to Long Island, ETA is 4/1. Wonder if I'll get mine earlier also.

I can not believe they shipped my truck from Atlanta to Birmingham AL to off load there when the dealer is right in the middle of the two rail yards. Rail tracking information showed released today!! I lost 4 days with it sitting in Atlanta!

I will be +1 on Cotus date tomorrow. Missed the dealer 9 March date by a bunch!

Will see how long it will take them to load it on truck and transport 100 miles.

At this rate Duck will get his before I do

I've been trying to check railcar info all day, but my car starts with "LD" and the automated system doesn't register the "D" when I say it. I get "LB, LV, OT, LE, but no LD". This system says you can key it in using the keypad but I can't figure that part out either. Anyone experienced with the rail car tracking have any tips on how to enter my car info?

Who were the two guys and did they claim their trucks were DONE on Sunday AM shift?
Both of us reported this morning that our screen changed to In Production. I don't think either of us said it was built because as every knows COTUS is not exact. We both provided screen shots. My estimation was my blend was not going to built until today's PM shift. I am just tickled to $@&$ that I have seen movement

Oh, and by the way my blend date on the sticker was suppose to be 03/10/15 just in case anyone wants to know. My blend # was 1033

Well, I'll join in on the getting anxious vibe here as well. My Blue Flame 2.7 Screw is in transit with 18 days estimated delivery...which puts it about April 3rd, on a Friday! Ordered initially on 31 January, way too long to wait, but still, glad it's almost time...

Ld is 5331.

Mine was also ld but is not the right number as it's supposed to have 4 letters and 4 numbers.

It is a bit confusing. LD would be 5331.

Looking at a phone keypad, the letter L is 5 and L is the 3rd letter for the 5 button, so L would be 53. J is the first letter for 5, so J would be 51, K 52, etc. D is the first letter for the 3 button, so it would be 31.

Mine got hung up in Shelbyville Kentucky for two and a half days. According to rail tracking sat in the same place that entire time. Finally at 8:30 PM today it had arrived in Danville. Bob, I wonder if they sat still for the weekend. Did your truck go through these same cities?
