Current Shipping Delays

[JoshuaL450]

3 weeks since my build date, and my truck is still sitting at the KC plant.

I'm starting week 9 of my truck sitting in Dearborn.

Dealer told me 3 to 6 months to get my tuck when I ordered. Friday will be 6 months. My truck arrived at the Port of Wilmington yesterday, what's the chances I have it under the 6 month mark? Hopefully it gets loaded on a truck and delivered quick.
I wasn't able to closely track the journey since the Railcar tracing doesn't work for my Railcar. It does seem to have made the trip from ramp 58 to Delaware pretty quickly, maybe 6 days.
If anyone has trouble tracking on Norfolk Southern, choose option 3 and speak directly to a representative, they have all been very happy to look up and share information.

That is very fast for rail.

Left KC on 7/13. Sat at Gibson IN. Railyard 3 days. On day 4 sitting at Willard OH railyard. 2.5 hours from dealer. Has to make the shirt trip to Lordstown OH railyard.

Rail is a delay. So inefficient.

Update: Truck is now in waiting - “actual placement.” Fingers crossed I can pick it up this week.
Needs to make a 100 mile trip down the interstate, and get PDI.

How long have people had their truck sitting at Markham Yard in IL? Mine has been there at least 10 days now, less than 4 hours from dealership. A week and a half past it’s initial arrival date. Seen dealer get at least 2 loads of vehicles in so far in that time from other plants. The first 6 month wait was easy. Knowing it’s literally waiting for a ride to the dealership after a week and a half is testing my patience.

Try 60 + days waiting for a ride to the dealership since mine for sure is trucking from Dearborn to the dealership.

That’s awful for ‘in transit’ time. Longest I’ve seen so far personally is 83 days from a local dealer. Ordertrack has one in transit at 111 days. Wonder what that delay is about.

On the United road info page. Anyone know what the order type is? Some say “load child” some say “individual”.

Currently my United road order is inactive but has moved to actual placement at the Norfolk souther rail yard so it’s making its way to me. Trying to get Some level of delivery timing to try and do an in/out with my current truck which is probably an impossible task.

I have no idea what trucking company will move my truck to the dealer. When I put my VIN in it doesn't even allow me to enter the search

How did you get that status? My truck shipped rail NS and it’s been at the ramp now 2 weeks. Just a little over 3 hours away.

tracked it using NS’ automated phone system. Fortunatelythe truck has now been unloaded. Hopefully I’ll be picking it up this week, and ending this 112 day from invoice (or 7.5 month from order) charade.

Yours is with united road, I found it. Refresh the page and a captcha will appear. For some reason it doesn't load the first time and you can't hit the button without going through it.

Mine is finally showing pending delivery in united road. Only been looking at it for almost 8 months since the build date. Damn near brings a tear to your eye!

Lack of Truckers and Conductors. Below is just 1 rail company in 1 month.

"But in all those years, Snyder can't recall a time the railroad life has ever been as unkind as it is right now.

"You have this mass exodus of people mid-career that are hanging up their boots and finding something better, [a job] that's much more friendly to their families and to their health," he claims.

Just last month, the locomotive union reported 217 people left BNSF⁠—a continuation of a longer trend.
