Possibly place. When mine arrived in Portland (where it yet sits...

) it was "placed at industry."

So maybe it's cut off... To play.. could be placed ... But differently not the word industry

I think the industry word is probably a UP only term. Is Wayne around your unload point?

Wayne Michigan is my unload point .. the Michigan Assembly Plant where they build the big bronco... So hopefully there are lots of vehicles leaving daily is my thought .

Did you notice CSX connects to the Ramps and Norfolk southern is the tracks on the Southside of the plant... And the plant is 25 miles from my house.. and 3 miles less to the dealership

Good luck getting your ride out of that mess.

I did laugh out loud with your comment

Lying effing salesmen. He said no one at the dealership logs into United Road or Palsapp to view or manage their incoming shipments and that they just show up by surprise. He also said they don't have any general idea of how long it usually takes to get a truck from the railhead to the dealership. I'm fairly certain they've lost any hope of me purchasing so much as an air freshener from them after the vehicle arrives.

Serious question, do any of the dealerships have a way to track truck pickups and deliveries? I have purchased from 4 different dealers, all different brands, and none of them knew when the trucks would arrive or what would be on the truck.

It's about damn time

 

[WLK]

It's about damn time

it should be done just before they close the plant for two weeks.

What a relief ?

I suppose it's possible a business can exist having no visibility on the delivery of its main product, but that seems unlikely at best and quite sub-optimal. The JCT Pals Portal is what people used to search before they locked it down to dealers only. There's also United Road which some are still able to use to see where their vehicle is in the final delivery process. I plan to ask Tim Bartz (Ford Video Guy) tonight if dealerships really have no visibility on inbound shipments beyond the generic Ford estimate.

Interested in hearing what you find out!

I'm trying to catch up to see if I can find answers but I'm really behind. When does the standard Ford tracker start to say In Production at the top? I don't know if it's been that way since I got my first production date or not. I am scheduled for production next week (my 5th date) and did not get the Tuesday night email yet saying I'm bumped yet again.

So I checked the Ford tracker and it says In Production. I checked the special tracker that shows extra stuff and it has an invoice date of today. It also has a window sticker. Does that mean it started to be built already? Or that my next week date is actually happening? Also did the window stickers that just came out reflect the increased MSRP regardless of when you ordered? It's about 3k more than what the dealership told me I was paying.

It means the order has been sent to the plant and will be built in its turn for the production week.
