I wish... Just hit the lock button on the app and want to make sure it is always locked and not unlocked... Don't want to delay shipping

I would suggest unlocked since it would be a challenge for everyone involved to have a 'key', or even a 'master key'.... I'll bet they simply have the keys sitting in the center console and leave the doors open. It's a gated area, anyway.

I delivered Diesel MOTORHOME and other types from the factory lots in N Indiana for several years. Each manufacturer and transport company had their own way of handling this, with some having gated lots, requiring a code to enter, and leaving the unlocked motorhomes with keys in a designated place within each. Others required you to enter a building, where a staff member would hand you the key packet, then proceed to find your unit, etc.

Locking that many vehicles would be very problematic. I also imagine you won't be able to 'control' your vehicle remotely until it arrives at your dealer, who then is allowed to 'open' the remote connection.

Unlocked is the way to go. Locking it has a higher risk of delaying, as your truck might be holding up other trucks in line.
