Mark Dodge Order Delivered!

That's not completely true, they could stop using those drivers

They may already do that.

I'm not sure how often they use repeat drivers, though.

I think they use central dispatch, which probably feeds them new drivers all the time. There's tens of thousands of drivers that are moving all over the country. It's a pretty saturated industry.

That is very possible

I respectfully fully disagree.

This is simply a case of people not taking pride in their work (as is common in third world counties, and becoming more prevalent in ours).

You can "get the job done and move onto the next thing" without getting mud all over someone's truck.

Anyone who works even remotely close to the trucking industry, or even has to deal with today's drivers, knows exactly what I'm talking about. The industry is a shell of what it used to be.

This is what happens when you allow the 3rd world to infiltrate your country in droves.

If you think I sound crazy, just wait to see the state of things in 30 years and I'll say I told you so.

I respectfully agree with your disagree.


I drive from Albany to Buffalo and back every week. The amount of incompetence, disregard for vehicle traffic laws, cell phone use not being to interpret traffic signs and laws from these piece of shit truck drivers of “today” is overwhelming. Being on the road 8 hours a week on the NYS Thruway you will form the same opinion. 75% are non citizens and it fucking shows. Not going to get political, but whoever thought it was a good idea giving these dickwads who can’t read or speak English a CDL to drive a 75000 # +- block of steel down the road at 80 mph deserves a special place in hell. Fuck them . Rant over

Yeah it is what it is. The car hauler isn't too concerned about it. But hopping in with muddy gloves and boots

Lol. They are dudes doing a job. They are like a lot of us. Sometimes you just want to get it done and move on to the next thing. If you are so concerned about how your truck will be treated on the way to you, you should just fly to the dealer and pick it up yourself. Your literally paying someone to drive your truck a distance before you ever see it. That entails some amount of risk. You accept that risk when you pay someone else to drive your truck.

For what it is worth, I am accepting the risk as well. Someone will be driving my RHO from Mark Dodge to me. I just know that it will be in a less acceptable condition than if I picked it up myself from Mark Dodge. Now if there is permanent damage, then I would take that up with Mark Dodge. If it is dirty, well it would have been dirty if you drove it home too.

I ordered my Last Call Hellcat Challenger from Koons and had EXCEPTIONAL delivery service. Truck driver and sales person took a TON of photos and handled my vehicle w/ care. Maybe I just have high standards when I pay for a service and expect whoever is handling my things w/ consideration and care. You might be ok w/ somebody driving your RHO to you and the touch points of the car is covered in BBQ sauce because they ate in your brand new close to $100k truck but I’m not. To me it’s the consideration factor of being careful w/ other ppls belongings.

 

[SRT Estrella]

I had paint damage to my truck...MD didn't give two shits about it,they were Super Nice about not giving a shit if that helps...Contacted driver and he denied damage and blocked my phone number...Had to pay someone to wet sand and polish the paint....So hopefully you don't have any damage.

I was hoping MD tone doesn’t change AFTER selling the vehicle since I buy cars frequently and I’m a MoparOrNoCar guy own both wide body Last Call Hellcats Charger and Challenger and also the Durango Hellcat. I would buy multiple vehicles fr sales ppl that treat me right. If this is a great experience I would order the TRX through them but time will tell.

1000%!!

Mine showed up with paint damage, scratches on door and bed, plus deep gouges in door sill from shipping company...those shippers don't give AF!! Thankfully my dealer fixed everything at their cost.

 

[Banger]

Jeez, I was going to go with MD but decided to give my dealer a shot. After what I would have paid for shipping I got the same deal and I did not have to deal with that mess (and others I have heard about).

This is why I bought from a local dealer. Didn’t save quite as much, but if there was any damage to the truck, I could have refused the deal. Personally , I’d never buy a vehicle without being able to examine it first. I like predictability more than surprises in cases like this.

 

[bigchief44]

I just picked up my truck from Mark Dodge on Friday morning and before I arrived, I noticed the side steps were missing per the window sticker. I questioned it and MD discovered they weren't installed at the factory and their QA missed it also. They happily installed the steps before I arrived. The whole buying experience was fantastic and if you get a chance to speak with their Finance Manager (Devyn)...oh my...those that know, know.

The cleaning of the truck was not great...smudges on the windows, some residual dirt seen in the hood vents...almost like they sprayed it down with water and wiped it down (I plan on getting my truck ceramic coated to eliminate any swirls and contamination). I'm very OCD, so I ended up stopping at a self-service car wash with window cleaner in hand and cleaned the truck to my expectations.

As a side note, I drove from STL to Louisiana (Thurs/Fri), trekked to Fayatteville AR (grabbed my son from an AAU mini-camp), and back to STL. I think I drove around 28-30 hours in 2 1/2 days. The break-in period between LA to AR suckkkkkkkkkeeeedddd...two lane roads, speed between 40-55....took forever.

 

[Smedly]

You have every right to be pissed! Doesn’t matter if it’s a $90k car or $29k car. It should be treated with respect. As others have said if you are concerned about your car, I would always try a local dealer first. A little extra upfront t can save anxiety about these situations.

 

[RamPW]

Granger and Glover are the closest to me. I received quotes from them and MD. Granger happened to be the lowest. Easy choice.

For me, even if MD had won, it is must see TV and I would have flown in to drive out. Buying it in person is the only way to truly ensure the vehicle is as promised and as delivered to you.

 

[deeve]

I know many many people have been very happy ordering from dealers and having the truck shipped but with my luck, what could go wrong would go wrong.

 

[AusputzerAri]

Bought two RHOs now from MD and two times a very good experience. With the first truck they found a very small scrape when they put it on the transportation truck. They informed me immediately and gave me the choice, fix it there or here at my place. It was fixed at my place for $150 and they send me a check for $150, no questions asked.

 

[mghtymous21]

Just curious for anyone that had their trucks delivered from MD. Was the delivery done on one of those massive multi vehicle trailers or a much smaller (maybe 3 car) trailer. Just curious how close the drive will be able to get to my house.

You in Rhodes Ranch or something?

No, Southern Highlands

Worst case, you could have them deliver it to Desert 215 dealership...or maybe the Smiths or Walmart parking lot? Might be able to drop it on Cactus, that road is pretty wide now.
