Possible Delivery Delay? (BNSF)

[idahospud]

I don't think this embargo will impact deliveries from Michigan (including the Lightning). A quote from the article..."This embargo applies to all commodities shipped to destinations in California from the following states in the BNSF network: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas, as well as Eastern interchanges located in those states."

Will they delay the build weeks for states they Are having trouble delivering trucks to?

With the resumption of builds on 7/11, the duration of manufacturing should put the 7/11 & 7/18 build weeks past the embargo, maybe a brief hold-load-go at the end of July.

Michigan isn't listed because bnsf doesn't operate direclty out of Michigan. Ford's trucks go to Illinois and get on bnsf... The last sentence above states this, but the source from bnsf is more clear:

This embargo applies to all commodities that are being shipped to destinations in California from the following states in the BNSF network: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. All eastern points of origin outside the BNSF network, which interchange through gateways located in the above states, are also included in this embargo.

Sorry, read the edited sentence. As noted earler in this thread, cars are interchanged to BNSF from eastern carriers, mainly through Chicago, Illinois.

Edit: missed gorwell's post

They probably still have plenty of parking in the area.
union, they need to keep people on the lines as long as they have parts.
they’ve been doing this a long time, not the first time rails have gone down.
mine sat parked for 60+ days. On its way any day.
not sure of my delay-part,chip?? But I also have 89 test miles before shipping.

Yours could have been used for QC. Have you seen your vehicle report from the dealer or asked online/phone for a status?

They’ll probably use UP for the Westcoast unless they are having the same issues, who knows

Our BNSF rail yard must have at least a hundred vehicle transport cars setting in the yard in Emporia KS
