Called the ERl and now says " As of May 2nd your vehicle has been released to the convoy carrier pending convey shipment."

Is my car coming on truck the whole way to Oklahoma??????

Mine started out the same way. I was concerned that it would be on a truck all the way to California. Several days later, it changed over to rail carrier. If that happens, you can track the rail car...much easier than tracking a truck!

Scott,

Mine went out by convoy on 4/25 to Toledo, Ohio, then from there it left by rail Thursday 4/28 to OKC.

I'm not sure if I can trust the ERL or not, but I never had any message about rail carrier - so I can only assume that mine was sent by truck all the way to California.

Mine travelled all the way from the factory to San Diego via Convoy Carrier. Never touched a train. It took a while, but was fine when it got here. Also, I got that information from Ford Customer Service (checking their system) and the Dealer (checking their system). It also reflects that as the travel method on the sticker.

Mine was built April 28th and was pulled for Quality Inspection but has been released as of Monday to be shipped by the end of the week so they tell me.

Same here, mine came all the way to Los Angeles via convoy.

well usually I believe transit to be shipped convoy carrier, then gets on a rail car, ships, then gets put back on convoy carrier to dealer from ramp. So it will actually be on a truck twice, at least thats the way mine went.

Try this: Railcar Tracker

Also check a search using "railcar"...there's a toll-free number out there too.
Get the railcar number from your dealer.
