Where are you all shipping from? It would be the last received line under your VVR before “In Transit”.

Shipped email early this morning. Delivery 7/23-7/29 to SAC.

That would be odd to find St. Louis is convoy only and seems a little doubtful. Candian Rail hauls everything out of Dearborn headed south and for those of us south of you, CR hands off the rail cars to UP for further delivery at Salem, IL. Salem doesn't look to be more than 40 miles from you. Just doesn't make sense you wouldn't ride CR to Salem - then truck delivery from there to St. Louis.

UPDATE: I may have overgeneralized, this may just be a St. Louis metro-east (Illinois) thing, as my ramp one is CE59 and appears to be the Salem, IL area as GDN notes. Either way, no rail involved, straight trucking from Detroit on Jack Cooper.

VVR shows shipped direct via convoy, Jack Cooper Transport (and I have a waybill #). No railcar in the VVR.

I believe my listed ramp comes back to Illinois, Salem seems about right as I'm closer to Salem, IL (40 miles) than Wentzville, MO.

Also heard back from the dealer that we may be delayed slightly on delivery as Ford Service is sending out its own tech to perform the PDI on my truck. Perhaps because it's the first one for this dealership? Or training? Who knows, but hopefully the schedule lines up.

Ask them for the railcar #.

I was at my dealer and got a printout for my rail car # from their VVR report - Canadian National Railways.

Yours might be on the same shipment as it looks like it will travel north first and then split off ?

For some reason they couldn’t give me a railcar # in chat - said there wasn’t one assigned in the database. Waiting for my dealer to pull a VVR for me tomorrow.

Ford never sent an in production date. After a few days, I got nervous as several posted that they eliminated the massage seat option after 6/30 build date and gave a $300 credit. I called Ford and was told it was built 6/24 and window sticker showed massage seat rather than a credit. You must have a better way of obtaining info from Ford than I.

Thanks, 6/24 is about right for your fellow 6/17 blend day partners, I'll go with that

BTW, the link I gave you above the snap shot takes you to the Canadian ford tracker, input your 4-digit order number from the WBDO order sheet along with your VIN and you will be able to see the dates up to BUILT and the ETA dates.

Man, the trucks needing to be shipped to FL must be slim pickings, I’ve been built since 6/30 and still no ship notice!

Thank you! Using your link, I see the in production date of 6/24.

6/18 blend date is in production on 7/11. Modules popped this morning.

So ford chat just told me I’m on Norfolk Southern Corp, rail car TTGX974088 ramp 58. Melvindale MI with an estimated arrival of 7/26.

What do I do with that information to get better tracking info?

There are sure some interesting waypoints involved there. I'm getting a delivery to Ford in Collinsville and I show ramp CA6K that puts me in Wentzville which makes me think I go by rail all the way there. Which is the same place I think all of the STL dealers and many metro-east dealers get their shipments into.

Your car should show up any day! I checked with ford chat and my status as of Jul 5th is it is still awaiting shipment:

"Your current order status is "Awaiting Shipment" and has been received Ramp 58, Melvindale, MI and has shipped convoy # 2376076 (Vehi-ship Llc ). The estimated delivery date is between Jul-19-2022 - Jul-25-2022. This information was updated on Jul-05-2022"

^ That appears to be a rail loading area so I think that is the last move by a local convoy company before I get on a rail car to Wentzville. Anyway - thanks for the info STL brother and please keep us all up to date.

Note that I'm 45 miles east of the riverfront, so "metro east" is starting to get fuzzy near me.

Either way, I'm told it is likely to arrive today and hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the special Ford service PDI guy to show up and do the work.

You can also call the Ford New Vehicle Support Team @ 800-334-4375. I have found them pretty helpful at times……

Also, this is what I’ve been able to track so far on my truck’s journey to the PNW:

Like others, got my Shipped email this morning. Oddly Ordertrack's special mojo isn't working and still doesn't see mine as shipped.

Just chatted w/ Ford Support and my railcar information is:

Railcar # TTGX987108 (Canadian National Railways ).

To lazy to track it more than that.
