Default last mile delivery issues

Ordered my 2021 F150 Powerboost back in January, the build happened in mid March with delivery expected in early April. The delivery to the dealer was showing and continues to show April 9 on Ford's tracking website. Over the last couple of days, the Ford tracking site keeps pushing the days to delivery out. On April 9, tracking said one day out, the next day two, then three and four. This evening, it's now showing 5 days out.

The truck is supposed to be in a town just 27 miles away and has been there since the beginning of April (well before the 9th). The salesman has no idea of what is going on though he's says he's checked.

Has anyone else here had similar experiences. Thoughts on what might be going on?

Thanks!

Yes, it arrived in the nearby town by rail (train). When it was on the train, we were able to track stop-by-stop.

Since then, it has gone "dark."

Haven’t dealt with shipments of vehicles, but freight has been a real mess for a while now.

Major shortage of trucks to haul loads nationwide.

This morning, the number of days went from 5 to 7! In the meantime, the truck arrived at the dealer!
