My car is currently on a CSX train headed to Jacksonville, Florida, which is scheduled to arrive Wednesday, August 30. Guess what else is now predicted to arrive on Wednesday? A hurricane!!! 🌀 Hopefully it ends up as a tropical storm or less. We’ll have to wait and see how it impacts my...
Not sure on convoy as I’m sure each railroad company and transport company have different systems. It’s a matter of finding out what company is transporting your car then doing what you can to see if they have any options for tracking.
I decided to start a separate thread with my order and tracking details now that my car is en route. Once I pick it up I’ll update the title and post photos and my thoughts on the car.

All of the discussion I saw prior to any cars being shipped stated “Convoy” on the window sticker meant it was being transported by truck, not rail.
Mine is currently traveling on a rail car, even though my window sticker says convoy. My rail car end point is about 2 1/2 hours (by truck) away...
For CSX tracking:
Call 877-744-7279
Options 2-1-3
After prompt, say: Location
After prompt, say: The 4 letter railcar prefix
After prompt, say: The railcar number
After prompt, say: Done
That will give you the last location as well as the scheduled arrival date at the end location.
My window sticker shows “Convoy”, but it is currently loaded on a train. All the comments I saw were saying if the window sticker says “Convoy”, then it would travel by truck the entire way from plant to dealer, but apparently that is not the case.
Update 8/21/23 - Even though my window sticker shows "Convoy" for shipment, the latest information I have been given is that it is currently shipping by rail. Ford customer support gave me the railcar number which I was able to track. It appears to currently still be at the New Boston, MI...
Yesterday, 8/18, Ford chat said my car was in transit with an eta of 9/11-9/17 after the tracker went from built back to order confirmed. The tracker went back to built last night, and this morning it went to shipped on 8/18. Now the tracker shows and eta of 8/24-9/6, so who knows when it will...
They told me 9/11-9/17 for delivery in Georgia. I agree those transport times seem long. My only thought is maybe they have been release to a carrier, but will be sitting in a lot for another few weeks before they actually get loaded onto a truck.
I just chatted with Ford as well. They said mine was in transit also and gave me the company name Precision Vehicle Logistics. The odd thing is the eta is September 11-17. That just seems like a long time (3 1/2 - 4 1/2 weeks)in transit from Michigan to Georgia. Does anyone know if any way to...
I just checked my order a minute ago and the exact same thing happened to mine. It went to built last night, and now it is showing as “Order Confirmed,” although it still has 8/17/23 under “Built.” Sounds like it may just be a glitch with their tracker.
