So frustrating, wish there was someone to call in Kansas. Even if they said yeah there’s a shortage of drivers but we should have one around this date it would be better than nothing.
I'm thinking KC is a hub not just for trucks but other Ford vehicles. My estimated shipping to Granger is 20 days with ETA 0731-0806. That seems like a lot of days and I think it's because the variables going into that estimate are too numerous and presently unpredictable for those day estimates to be more definitive. Getting a product to market has become a whole lot more complicated than pre-covid days and I think Ford, like many other companies do not have a firm handle on it. There have been posts here that it only took as little as 4 days from Dearborn to Dealer and the tracker was not accurate. It's quite possible that your or my truck gets to KC before/after another 'built' from Dearborn but then sits there because additional vehicles are destined to arrive and be shipped to say Granger. So we wait, a day, 2 days, 3, 4, .... . Then, when it's time and all the vehicles are assembled the carrier is not available. The weather is not conducive. An Order is changed or some other unforeseen circumstance delays to another day. OR your or my truck gets offloaded at KC, the delivery truck is waiting, fully loaded except for one more slot. Your truck comes off the train and onto the delivery vehicle, papers are stamped and it's off to Granger. Who Knows?!?!
Used to be a ton more action on this thread so I’m assuming everyone got their truck with that big truckload that showed up. Who else is in Kansas waiting?
Retired…? You probably have a lot more patience than me! I still think selling my truck before my last deployment was the right move though. Seems the trade in value cooled off 5-6K easily. So borrowing the wife’s for now. Just show up already!
Wondering why your eta changed while mine didn’t, mine arrived on the 27th in Kansas. The fact that it’s a 2 hour truck drive away is driving me absolutely insane. I wish there was someone to call, even bad news would be better than sitting in the blind.
Do you think there was a QC issue that they discovered?
Supposedly they do some kind of "final QA" in KC, but I would assume your delay is more due to lack of drivers for that last haul from KC to Granger. My truck arrived in KC on 6/28, and then didn't arrive at Granger until July 11 along with ~20 other trucks. Chip mentioned they hadn't seen any deliveries for a good 2-3 weeks before that batch showed up and that they get zero communication.
I hope my work never looks into how much time I spent on Palsapp and Ford tracker. Haha
