well that sucksWell looks like I’m still in shipping limbo hell and not on any trains. Or April is blowing smoke my way. Idk.
Agreed
I got the exact same response on Monday. Have you emailed the four executives? @Afisher83 and I both have and received a phone call from a lady name Felicia who is going to look into things when the 18th passes and we still don't have our trucks.Well looks like I’m still in shipping limbo hell and not on any trains.

FYI, my status from the CSX number called out BNSF (not UP) in the train that arrived in Richmond. UP and BNSF are the two main transcontinental railroads (so maybe they're now using whichever has space?).Checked my Rail car status and it just went thru Walbridge, OH (outside of Toledo) yesterday after 10pm. Now its heading toward Clearing Chicago (big rail hub) by Nov 19 after 8pm. Looking at the map I thought it would go further south based on the routes and then head west. The CSX automated trace said the train is "CSXT" so I'm not sure if anyone is on the same train.
I looked up the rail road map and here is CSX rail map in case anyone wants to track the route see the link below. I took a screen shot of the route Map and made a red line route that mine is going.
If you check the map you will see CSX stops at St. Louis, Memphis, NewOrleans so they don't go any further west.
Union Pacific takes over from there. Looking at UP they have 3 routes they can take to CA.

That makes sense so I guess we should check BNSF as well as UP whenever they make the switch from CSX in case.
Wayne is where the Michigan Assembly Plant ( MAP) is. Found this out when we wanted to see how far Summit Argo, Illinois was from the MAP, it's 4 hours. Our Bronco is still sitting in Summit Argo. So if it makes the new delivery dates of 3-9 Dec it will be 3 months since it was built. This is beyond frustrating.
. Its on the original path tho.
I haven't yet but ill look into doing that today. I was talking with a dude through their twitter account and he assured me it shipped. So the next day is when I asked the ford chat about it and got the response i shared.... It just feels like everyone is feeding the same excuse and they don't really know what's going on.
I get the same vibe that they have no clue whatsoever and can't really do anything about it. Feels like Ford needs to take some control of their operations and get things straightened out but it's just easier not to and shift blame elsewhere.
Yeah exactly my thought. just checked the backdoor site again and my delivery date got pushed again to nov 20th -26th. Which if its still at MAP I'm sure won't happen. But I'll stay optimistic for a Thanksgiving miracle.
I watched this live yesterday, to me its seems like a corporate company answer to the problem. Mainly because they're still shipping out vehicles to, even to the west coast. What real issues in mind seems to be that there is no organization to getting them shipped out. They get some into the rail yard but don't prioritize ones that have been sitting longer than others so you get pockets of people that get put in shipping waits longer than others that get their broncos shipped out way sooner than others despite being built after the people who have been waiting longer to be shipped. Maybe it isn't the case maybe it is. They wont ever tell you that though.
