On the order track website should I be seeing any info filled out in the Shipping Info Box. I have received my shipped email from Ford and the order track website says in transit, but no info is in that bottom box. Convoy is highlighted in purple but that is all. Just curious.

OH hey it's my other fellow Nebraskan and shipped truck. Probably on the same railcar as mine.

Mine was denied at 6:15 CDT today...maybe they found our trucks?

Mine traveled 6 miles... No idea where though

I was happy when my truck moved from the Ford area to New Boston on the 6th. I figured it’s checked in and all good to go waiting to be put on a auto rail. Then around 9:30am yesterday (July 8th), I got an alert that the doors opened. I thought this was it, and it’s being loaded. Nothing happened, and thought maybe they were just looking at the car. A bit later from there, I noticed my SoC dropped by 1%. So I refreshed the location and it was moved more towards the front of the rails. I also noticed on the VVR it was formally checked-in. Before that, I don’t think they had any idea it even existed in the lot. So I have no idea when it will load at this point. I am in the 6/13 build week, so technically you should get yours before me.

I have been looking at ways and procedures of loading a rail car, and it seems to go by how long you been at that location waiting, type of vehicle, and destination. Yes, that seems to help, but I have yet to figure out those large parking lanes. They fit 10 vehicles, and usually that’s the minimum they would carry, depending on the levels of the autocar and what vehicle is being loaded. Does it by by order - first in, first out, etc?

For pickups it is 8 per rail car - 4 up and 4 down. Some pictures posted a couple of days back of the loading area. They sit 8 deep in rows.

Maybe good news for you both - getting moved to the loading area or on to a rail car.

You need a good look at your VVR report. Hope it says Waiting Shipment or shipped.

Do you remember the post or picture location?

Maybe that’s why I/we haven’t loaded yet. They have a number of other cars they can load first, even with 3 tier autocars, that they can get out and get shipped. However they need to get trucks eventually, but the question is when. There is bound to be some sort of agreement or limit as to how long they can sit on the asphalt.

Several trucks were last reported in this lot for shipping. I95 and Schafer Rd in Dearborn - I just grabbed this from Google Maps. The trucks are 8 deep lined up for rail cars.

The auto-cars are configured for two high loading instead of 3 that smaller sedans can fit into.

I think it takes them time to load up multiple strings of these cars, many hours to a couple days then attaching the auto-cars in a sequence so they spend little time disconnecting a set of them along to travel route assuming they have multiple stops along the route, (central PA, eastern Pa), (mid-state NY, eastern-NY, mid-state-CT), Northern-NY Central-Mass) and similarly in southern & western runs.

I'm hoping the eastern run to New England has not departed yet so they can load my truck today or Sunday, if not then I'm waiting on the next run.

My truck is going to Newark and then getting loaded onto a transport to hear to long island... So hopefully is in one of these shipments....
