BUILT & SHIPPED !! Tracker update 2023: What's your status?

[Stangerous]

Does anyone know train lingo? My car was marked in constructive placement Sunday and was “placed at industry” yesterday. I gather constructive placement means they prioritized unloading so the train could leave but what the heck does placed at industry mean? The car is only 2 hours away from me at this point, work will have me passing by it this week

I’m in the same situation. Not sure what placed in industry means either. My dealer and my salesman are no help at all, they don’t even have the common decency or courtesy to return a call or text.

Time to do some digging in the Bronco forums then

Just checked with a train engineer friend of mine place in industry means, the car is spotted, ready for unload.

You're in Milwaukee? I'm in Appleton. Maybe we are on the same truck. Let me know if you hear anything. Mine will hopefully be here right after yours.

Yep, just got the call, the car is at the dealer!

Awesome Thanks for the heads up. If I get a call in 2 hours we were on the same truck.

Did your tracker go from Order Confirmed to Final Preparation?

My car just shifted to “Built & Awaiting Shipment” statuses - how long before it usually gets shipped and delivered? Flat Rock to Dearborn

Mine switched to “empty, released to customer” this afternoon.

Yep dealer sent me a video of it being unloaded around 2:30. Kind of nerve-wracking to watch.
I'm going to look at it in a couple hours. Hopefully bring it home tomorrow.

We had to be on the same truck. There was only one other on the truck with mine

My dealer claims to know nothing about my car and today they blamed @Ford Motor Company, even said Ford does not do a good job communicating with dealers. Said it’s just their bad business practice towards dealers and that they(the dealers) get stuck in the middle trying to keep the customer happy. I asked him how I could know more about where the car is than they do and he said the car was not in their system. I asked him how is that possible when you placed the order for me. Again, he blamed Ford for lack of communication. My car has been about an hour away at the rail yard since Sunday. So, @Ford Motor Company what say you?

I’m with this guy, Ford (mostly their hired/chosen transporters) has my blood boiling. My vehicle “shipped” 8/21 but hasn’t moved an inch. It’s still in Michigan.

Got my GT today. The Ford tracker and VINview were accurate.
