What is "blend date" actually?

[UNIKRN150]

Seems like Blend date is the start of production. It might not be completed on that date, but it's the date (and the sequence number) when the parts for the truck will be loaded on the line and blended until they form a truck ?

Traditionally that’s exactly right. It’s the date that they pull all your parts off the shelf and load them onto the assembly line for production.

But that was “pre-Covid”.

My truck was built the day before my published “blend date”.

Hopefully things will get back to “normal” soon and things like “blend dates”, “priority codes” and such will mean something again but right now it’s chaos at the plants.

They seem to just be doing whatever they can, however they can, whenever they can to get trucks on the train.
