My wife works in local government and was shocked that I do not have Friday off. Not sure how she hasn't realized I haven't had that day off the entire six years we have been together.Probably have Friday off too.

The dealer just called me and said "Good news!!! your bronco has been marked released and built so you'll received a rail car number in the next day or so"
I had to explain to them that I have been built and released since early October. I'm tired of it.

I hate this part more than waiting on a build date. Asked if dealer had any info...
This is just ford passing the buck onto the rail company. Ford dropped the ball the trains are still doing train things. They just can't load the cars at the back which is where I assume we are.I hate this part more than waiting on a build date. Asked if dealer had any info...

Probably so. Not getting moved up, just passed by.

My badlands just built last week. Shipping now. Should have it around thanksgiving. Never thought I’d get this damn thing. Not getting excited until it’s in my hands.
I had a new ETA show up too. 11/15-11/21. You can't really blame trucker shortage on mine because it's rail and we all have watched Bronco after Bronco get shipped from Oct build week threads. Looks like I'll be making a trip to my dealer this afternoon. They called their dealer rep on Monday but I haven't heard anything back.

After sitting on some car ramp in NJ for a few days it’s been loaded onto a flatbed truck yesterday at 1:00.

Yeah same here. I don't think we have received any additional emails other than the initial ETA. Also no production line photos.
I'm beginning to wonder if I got scammed by a multi billion dollar company and financed a bronco that doesn't actually exist.
I really should just be awarded the ability to auto ban people with the gall. ( I did not actually report him and waste the mods time this is satirical)

There is obviously a logistics problem with Fords ability to load FIFO. If only we could get the qord out to some of these influencers or something.
But it qould have to be done right. The story is not that Ford is having trouble shipping, but that Ford has hundreds of Built Broncos that keep getting passed over for shipping with more recently Built ones.
I can see it know... "After waiting for over 2 years to be built, Dozens (hundreds?) Of Ford Bronco reservation holders sit in limbo while watching their completed Broncos continually get skipped over for shipping."

anyone else in the Carolinas? perhaps we can sub contract a carrier to pickup and deliver? I called my dealer today to ask an ETA, and was told 11/13. last eta was 11/9, but my status is still awaiting shipment.
At this point I feel like it would be faster to apply for a job @Ford Motor Company, go through screening, get hired, fly to MAP, load my bronco on a damn train, and walk off the jobsite. It is clear they do not care about our sub population.
I feel like this logistics nightmare, will be the stuff of research papers for a decade. My dealer has now had 3 blue Sticker dealer orders on the lot all produced after my blend date, and my 3 week later built date.

A possible answer for this is that some carriers are waiting until they can fill the trailer going back before loading up for the more "remote" areas. Nobody wants to deadhead at $5.50 a gallon . It's a 4 hour trip from MAP to our neck of the woods and I've been waiting for 2 weeks and 2 bumped shipping dats.
