What’s the ratio of rail to convoy in here?

I’m in Chicago so I would imagine it’s convoy 240 miles from Detroit. But we also have the blue island rail yard that ford uses as well.

I’m hoping convoy as the Chicago trucking shortage would just mean more delays. I’ve got friends who own trucking business that pull sea cans out of that yard. It’s a **** show there.

Forgot to mention.

I stopped by the interior shop today. They are going to do a two week build out on the new interior. Then off to detail to get the matte clear bra on.

If truck shows up next week my buddies will go grab it and QC it and drop it off at upholstery. I’m in Chicago third week in February for a couple days so might actually be able to see it completed in person!

A decent amount of us left are actually on a convoy, it seems like the people that received their trucks were mostly on rail. Splitting hairs here but maybe the trucking shortage is what's holding some of us back.

Sounds like CO finally started shipping! Got an email from my Ford guy on Saturday saying mine was on a train. ETA 1/31. Curious to see how true that stays...

that is the word, train is full of raptors! already was in chicago this AM and left on Friday apparently. my sales guy thinks i will have my truck in time for my trip to Jackson Hole (2/5), so hopefully that works out...

hopefully the gods don't have any more tricks up their sleeves
