Anyone who has been stuck in "Awaiting Shipment", see any movement?

Good to see so many updates today. Keep the pics flowing for those of us in limbo, it keeps the hope alive!

That is an awesome looking BaseSquatch!

Coming up on a month since it was built and starting to lose track how many times it has been kicked down the road for shipping. 5, maybe 6 times. Being "Built" doesn't mean anything if the $1500 destination fee can't even move you a state over by truck in a month. IMO it's basically like...

It's based on your proximity to the plant. MI and neighboring states to MI, you'll be hopping on the car carrier. Further away and you get the rail. AFAIK MI, IN, OH, PA, IL all get convoy from the plant. I assume WI, KY, maybe WV as well? The problem is that there are not enough trucks to...

The lesson I have learned from this, is that I would have gotten it faster had I ordered from an out of state dealer that was far enough away that it would need to ship by rail. I want to slap silly all the charlatans who have chased hard working people out of the trucking profession.

Also sitting at MAP since 3/20, built but no updates, no line pic either. Holding out hope that it will ship this week, but there are still a bunch of people in the 3/7 thread in the exact same situation.

Checking in here from the 3/14 build group. Similarly mine was built 3.5 weeks ago and is just sitting there at the plant waiting for convoy since then, and it only has a 6 hour truck ride to get to my dealer. There are a few others like this in the 3/14 group as well. Friday I was able to...

Got some new status message out of the chat today. "The vehicle is impacted by carrier equipment failure, off loading delays, yard congestion, or Diversion." Yeah, ya think? 😐

100 more dollars to still not even be able to ship what they have built. Convoy Mountain. 🌋

...and thus begins another day of refreshing the tracker, hoping for status to change to shipped, and seeing nothing...

aaaaaannnndd.... shipping ETA pushed back another week again. It's like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown.

In a way I miss the old days, when you just placed an order and didn't have any info until the dealer called you with a nice surprise, that it was ready to pick up.

Same, 3/16 blend , build finished 3/20. 6 hr convoy to IL and no shipping yet in sight. We're on Convoy Mountain.

Been in awaiting shipment for 18 days now, there are a few others that have been waiting even longer. And I am just waiting on a truck to take it from the plant, a 6 hour drive to my dealer which is now taking almost 3 weeks.

That's a great looking Black Diamond.

Another day of no shipping, and rapidly coming up on a month since the blend date. If it reaches a month I'm calling it Ship Mountain.

Yeah the price on these types of trailers is nosebleed territory these days. The prices on them have gone way up in the past 5 years.

It wasn't that long ago and many of these types of trailers new were about $3k - $3.5k. Limited number of small manufacturers, building a specialty product in low volumes, and every increasing demand. Input costs now way up, labor up. And a dwindling number of small surplus military trailers...

Will do. IMO if you want a trailer like this definitely make sure it can handle utility duty, unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket. While I use mine for paddling and camping a fair amount, the ability to strip all that stuff off and use it as a basic utility trailer for hauling...
