Thanks for the information. I'm new to this process and thought the VIN meant it was in production. So how is the best way to know when it may be produced without bugging you each time I want an update? Thanks again for the rapid response.

I've come to that conclusion as well, that spray liner is not a definite hold up causing all spray trucks a delay, it only adds *potential delay* to the overall process by adding 2 additional wait spots. Some trucks have done very well at the body site. Each wait spot seems to be from 1 to maybe 25 days. And each spot seems to be a new random roll of the dice, you don't get any credit for having an extra long 1st or 2nd wait, each wait can be huge. If you didn't get spray liner you roll the dice once, if you did you roll the dice 3 times. For example I got a 12 and an 8 on my first 2 rolls, you got a 6 and a 4. We are waiting on our 3rd random number. It could be worse, like @quackslayer and @barbersbbq have currently waited longer than me.
Obviously I don't work at the plant to see the logistics of how things get loaded. But they do not use a FIFO. A huge label with the ETA date on each truck would be helpful so they know which ones have sat longest but it is likely done to optimize throughput and they grab the first trucks they can from the rows at the plant to keep the lines moving. If your truck is at the bottom of the barrel the longest it doesn't matter as the barrel gets refilled constantly and they just keep scooping them off the top. Sucks for us to be at the bottom.

It's to the body company for spray liner, and then back to the plant ramp. Pioneer confirmed that tonneau and wheel liners are put on after "produced" but still at the "rouge" plant, but I don't know if that means the 1st wait before body site, or the 3rd wait after body site. I would defer to what he says for the insider info like that.
