There are two on the same transport
Trying to temper my expectations, but if it is my truck and the driver wants to get yours delivered on time, mine should be dropped in the next hour or so. Dealer is in Mentor, OH.

I'm super jealous, that seems to be the pre-indicator that you're about to get a shipped date.

Come on Ford, get those west-bound trains loaded!

Oh I am watching that tracker too, but I've also heard of people never getting a 'shipped' notification and it just showing up at the dealer unannounced.
Those really short hauls will appear out of the blue, seems the SHIPPED data update is delayed long enough that the Delivery Prep status date hit's before it can post.

My Dealer Rep committed to send me a few pics as it rolls off the transport

Update on my two trucks.

My truck (unfortunately): still at 59....

Truck #2, received railcar number and called UPRR. Departed Dearborn on 10/6 and has an estimated arrival date of 10/8. Final destination is SoCal.

Unfortunately neither of my Ford Pass activation request were granted so can't get more granular with locations.

Well my truck is still sitting on a lot in riverside, one hour away. It had an ETA to the dealership of today but then we got notification from vin view stating it’s on repair delay…

weird thing is vin view says it’s in Michigan and still has an eta of today to my dealership….but my dealership can see it’s gps physically at the holding facility an hour away. And that view shows the truck with an ETA of the 11th to the dealership.

my trackers online with ford still don’t say shipped

I feel like I’m Charlie Brown, Ford is Lucy, and my truck is the football….

I've got some good news and bad news.

Bad news is I'm cancelling my order and leaving this fine group of people in the 7/31 build week.

Good news is that I picked up a new 2023 Lariat ER for cheaper than what I was planning to pay for my XLT ER on order. Got this baby for $69k out the door.

God speed to all of your trucks. I hope you get to enjoy then soon! Thank you to @TaxmanHog for guiding us through this process!

The latest news on my truck is that the transport didn’t show up at the dealer yesterday. Phone calls to the transport company go to voicemail because Saturday. Speculation from my dealer that they stopped somewhere in Ohio overnight. They have no contact information for the driver. Let’s see if the transport rolls in this morning.

Did yours arrive?
No one called me. I didn't roll by the dealer either. It's possible it showed up and my sales guy wasn't notified, it's a big dealership. Sorry to hear your truck is delayed, hopefully it's the last time.
