Even years later, a Monday build is not a great thing.

Pretty much an old wives tale nowadays. Having said that, I'd probably rather it be built on a Monday than a Friday. People are too eager to get-r-done and get out on Fridays, or they just take the day off and we have to work shorthanded. I know as I work on a large manufacturing assembly line (Boeing 737's).
Anyway, a big CONGRATS on the new truck! I too am jealous.

Not an old wives tale at all. Although quality is much improved from decade to decade, the fact remains that workers of all industries are more likely to take off on a Monday or Friday. What's left? In the auto industry it means that a "utility man" will take over the absentee's duties. Utility men are qualifed to work all positions but often are not as proficient as the person they are replacing. Mistakes often happen when regular workers are replaced. It's a fact of all businesses.
And as for robots now building cars; car building is still very much a hands on industry. Robots have taken over the difficult and repetitive jobs but the fitting of components are still very much hands on.
Anyway, good luck with your new vehicle!
