Radio Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Paraphrasing an email I got from my dealer today. I asked him to estimate or guess at a production date for a truck I ordered 1st week of April "... our inventory manager ... said they are building 2021's through the end of (May), so it will be (June) before they start scheduling the 2022's." No problem with that part, but... "We were told the Kentucky plant, which was running 3 shifts a day, is going to one shift a day and closing 1 week each month through the end of the year." There are conflicting reports in media and various forums and from "insiders" as to when and how long various truck production plants are or are not going to be operating. It would be helpful if some folks who actually have first hand knowledge of what's happening at the plants to let us know what's going on.

fuzzymoomoo Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Even if I knew exactly what was going on, I couldn't tell you without it potentially costing my job What I can say is it's a very fluid situation and it changes on a regular basis. All I can tell you from there is try to be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 On another forum a poster reported "I work at (given plant) and we were at work today!" is the sort of information I am fishing for. But I do understand your position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cknox78 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 My question is. Will all the 21's waiting for parts be finished before 2022 production starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
