After five months of waiting my car as of 4/4/05 is on a convoy carrier. The dealer says it is scheduled for delivery on 4/18/05. That's a long time to take a one day long road trip. Does anybody have any knowledge of this situation? How many stops can there be for this truck? Does the car change trucks like a UPS package?

 

4/4 for me to with a ETA 0f the 15th, I see your in VA and I'm in NC. I was told my car would go on rail for the plant to lexington NC and then on a car carrier to the lot.

 

Mine was delivered two weeks to the build day.

 

Maybe all three of our are comming on the same rail car! I'm in SE Virginia, and shipped via convoy carrier as of April 4th. FINALLY AFTER 21 WEEKS!!

 

Make it four! I'm in Williamsburg VA and as of 4/5 shipped via convoy carrier. Dealer ETA 4/18. This will be the longest wait of my life....but hey, were all in the same boat... or least railcar.

 

Mine was shipped by convoy as of 4/1. Dealer is giving me an ETA of 4/9 to 4/12, but I'm all the way down in South Florida. At least it's finally shipped only 6 weeks after being built.

Ordred: 1/15
Built: 2/16
Shipped: 4/1 (Convoy)

 

I'd say you will probably have your new ride by tax day 4/15.

After you get her, the thoughts of the long wait will melt away with the miles.

Happy summer driving! :drive:

 

My car was put on the truck March 12th and I did not get it until March 28th.

 

my car is on the truck as of 4/3 also! and my dealer says it will be here week of the 18th........

 

sounds like that truck has alot of stops to make no wonder it takes two weeks. It looks like to me that the week of the 18th is a worse case scenario. Let's all hope for the end of this week.

 

The process usually is on a convoy carrier first, then to a yard, then loaded to a rail car, then unloaded to the yard, then put on a convoy carrier. So yours probably just starting, will be on a rail car, then unloaded at yard, then on a truck to dealer. Mine took a month from shipped on convoy carrier, supposedly due to rail car issues, not having enough etc. so it sat in a yard for two weeks. Hopefully there catching up with cars. Hope you get it soon.

 

Sounds Like we have a CONVOY

 

Well Mine took 9 days from the status of Shipped Convoy until it arrived at dealer. Now the car is in Minneapolis and I am in the Dominican Republic until next Friday. It's going to be a long week.

FYI - I think the status shipped by convoy on x/x means that ford turned it over to the trucking company on that date to be shipped. The car may not leave the shipping lot until days later.
