Another question on trucking

[oosik]

You, obviously, have your grapple by now. Hope it fits well and you are liking it.

When I bought the Taco Wagon ( Ram Power Wagon ) it was assembled at the Chrysler facility, in a small Mexican town - just south of the border. Saltillo, MX.

I was a very present "thorn" in the side of the local dealership. When will it ship, where is it, when will it arrive in Spokane, WA???

So.......finally it was assembled & had been shipped, by train. But NOBODY could find out where it was.

Come to find out - it WAS in Spokane. In the railroad - holding yard. The local dealership and I waited two weeks while the Taco Wagon was in this holding yard.

Waiting for the railroad to do a pre-delivery product inspection and release the vehicle to the local dealership.

Ain't life a *****.................

And we lament the demise of rail service in the USA. The service part was the first to go.
