Trucker union strike at brunswick port??? Wtf...

M4CXPBM · 11-12-2021, 04:25 PM

My service advisor told me my m4 is stuck at brunswick port due to trucker union strike. Just when I thought Id be celebrating thanksgiving being thankful for my m4 this happens...

Any info on whats going on over there? Cant find anything on google.

Can't find anything either. You'd think it would be in the news if true … at least local news. I'm skeptical.

Also waiting for my car in Brunswick.

My G80 left that port either yesterday or the day before, and was delivered to my dealer (last night or early today), so if there's a strike, it happened this afternoon?

Did you have a RAM stop sale that was resolved by chance? Build week?

Can anyone clarify if this is true?

Patton250 · 11-12-2021, 08:45 PM

It’s more the one carrier company that trucks cars out of Brunswick. They are all on strike?

Yes. Build week 37. RAM resolved in appx. 3 weeks after vessel arrived in NJ.

At this point, if you told me a tidal wave crash the port and took everything with it, I Wouldn't be surprised

Patton250 · 11-13-2021, 06:04 AM

I gave this some thought. If they actually are on strike this will get resolved immediately. Hundreds and hundreds of dealers are desperate for cars. I talked with my dealer yesterday and they have 3 freaking cars on the lot. 3!!!! They also have 75 at Brunswick waiting for parts of one type or another. Obviously they are not the only dealer waiting. They are probably overworking these truckers and they deserve some extra compensation at this point. I’m sure it will be resolved if it hasn’t already. Of course there’s also the possibility that our forum member whose dealer told him this didn’t know what they were talking about. But I’m sure more people will chime in today including myself. I will call my dealer again and ask. He will know because like I said he’s waiting on 75 freaking cars.
