Are you planning on having your Limited shipped or are you going to go there and get it?

I was originally planning on flying there and driving back, but covid wiped out my time off for this year back in July, so I'm gonna have them ship it. As of this morning mine was in Illinois just across the river from St Louis.

I see you went to Gilbert for yours....did they give you a decent deal?

Somewhat, they have been great to deal with so far and I don’t have to go far to inspect and get it home. It sounds like your Truck is on Norfolk & Southern RWY system to St. Louis and then NS or BNSF to Louisiana. I used to work for NS and lived in Decatur Ill some years ago. (Norfolk & Western then). My truck is probably on same route but going west from St Louis on BNSF to Arizona. Good luck

How are y’all tracking it once it’s left the factory?
I think your dealer is the only avenue of information once its shipped. I was only speculating based on what I know having worked for the Norfolk Southern RR. They get a lot of the car factory shipments from Detroit area.

I spoke to a friend of mine today who retired recently from the Long Island Railroad and he said that usually a freight train hauling new vehicles will be only hauling that type of freight and they tend not to want to waste a lot of time in transit due to the high value of the cargo, so they try not to make too many stops along the way where the cars are sitting for a period of time.

That’s awesome. Hope they get our trucks to there destinations soon! I was looking at the route from St Louis to New Orleans and it may be the CN (Canadian National) that dominate’s the main line to New Orleans there. When I worked for the N&W they had Ford Trains and other named speciality freight trains that were really top priority. You didn’t do anything that would hold up those trains. So, Im sure he’s right.

The Laramie that I originally ordered was shipped on 8/4 and Mark Dodge emailed me that it arrived there on 8/20. If that same time frame applies, then my Limited should show up there by 8/31. Fingers crossed 🤞
