This is nothing new. I was the parts manager here at the dealership in 1988, and that was their policy back then. Either it came on the truck from the facing depot or it was shipped direct. If it were a stock order, then the slower route was used. If it were for a vehicle down, then they would ship overnight and you could be reimbursed for the special handling charges on the warranty claim.
What was old is new again. Kind of like bell bottoms.
