Update 2Update:
My dealer is legit....seriously thankful for that!! The dealer sales manager in Michigan did call me back and was totally kool & ok if my dealer would allow me to do the paperwork & pick it up. The Michigan dealer even said he would prep it for me if I wanted.
So I then made the 45 minute drive to my dealer to get the situation settled in person. My sales rep put me in touch with the sales manger who said the GM would not allow me to pick it up at another dealer because of the Pre delivery inspection issue. The sales manager also shared pics of the VIN, tailgate, and the hood which seem to show damage to the hood. So as bad as I want the truck I have relented to wait for the truck to be delivered to my dealer.
They offered to send employees to go pick it up and drive it back the 350 mls. and I declined. So they are trying to work with the Zone manager to figure out who's paying for the transportation! Obviously Jack Cooper messed this up, but if we wait on Jack Cooper to fix this it could take a month! Hopefully the Indy Area Zone Rep will approve 3rd party transportation so the truck can be delivered asap!
Finally, the reason I offered to go 350 miles to pick it was that I am an airline employee and can fly from Indy to Detroit for free. Also I have a family member who could drive me to the Michigan dealer. Plus had family plans in southern Michigan this weekend so I figured I would turn an unfortunate situation into an adventure!!

So some friends went by the Detroit dealer that had my truck to take some pictures & the dealer confirmed it was picked up yesterday by a transport.
So I call my dealer & they have no idea who picked it or where it is....priceless! Assuming Jack Cooper?
