I’m in Minnesota and CN was the initial rail line and I’m using their automated tracing system, I believe BNSF now has my truck.

Dealer called, truck has arrived. Will pick up Monday. Order Track and Ford tracking still show in transit.

Hell yeah.

texted and emailed the Hansen&Adkins AUTO TRANSPORT operation at the Atlanta NS ramp yard, where the truck now 'sits'... since very early yesterday morning

This is what I was afraid of: "we have received your Truck and it has been entered into our system now that it has an assigned space. we don't know exactly when it will be loaded and delivered as we will have to wait until there is a full load. we also have to take care of 'aged' vehicles, first."
At least they DID answer my request. Maybe it'll help, in some small way.

so, the wait continues, even though I had a lot of hope since it arrived early yesterday morning... oh well, Big Breath, and on to Tuesday and Wednesday now.

I’d offer to Venmo a few bucks to load up first

@TaxmanHog I had an email conversation with my dealer and he said his system says 28th for my truck. I know you are tracking everything, but how many trucks arrive before the build notice goes out? That date seems like a stretch looking at your list, but would be very cool....

Just got an email from Ford saying the truck was shipped. Things are looking up.

I'm getting the following ideas from past responses from all these months on these forums:

'blend day': the day your truck was built, or at least mostly
'In Production' : really means your truck has been built
'Built' : really means it's already shipped, or sitting at a train loading ramp, etc.
'Shipped' : really means it's ALREADY been dropped off at your dealer
'Final Prep/Complete' : really means that you are not keeping up with your truck's progress, with impatience like the rest of us, and you didn't immediately RUSH to your dealer to pick it up - your dealer probably sold it to someone else : / sad.

Looks like you received a photo of yours coming off the assembly line. Never got one. Where does that fit in to your Ford dictionary

There was a time long ago when I believed the above was the case, but it's a fallacy.
Blend day is when they intend to put the truck together, does not always pan out
In Production day is when it's begun production
Built means Built, typically happens about 10-14 days after in production & modules have shown.
Shipped means it's been assigned to a transport mode, (Rail or Convoy), when it rolls is another story.
Final Prep means it actually landed at the dealer, this can be minutes, hours or a couple days, dependent on receipt & control process adherence at the dealership.

I've monitor the flow of 100's of builds including my own, and certain the intended steps are accurate.

I’m assuming your vehicle also made the interchange near Chicago. Can you still track with NS or do you have to call BNSF?

My truck seems to be stuck. Blend date of 7/29 and according to customer service it is sitting on the dreaded ramp 51 with an optimistic delivery of 8/29 to Texas. Vin: 1FT6W1EV7NWG11344.

Thanks @TaxmanHog - I feel a little better knowing I’m not the only one with no movement.
