Storm95 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have a F250 that's been sitting on the lot in Kentucky for over 30 days waiting to be shipped down South. Now I've heard all kinds of stories from the hard winter caused a major back log, the shippers are holding out for more money, there is a shortage of rail cars, or there are giving priority to deliveries up North. So what is the real issue here? Shouldn't trucks that a marked as sold be given priority? You can't say its out of Ford's hands because it's at the shipper's location. Ford has hired and we have paid the shipping cost to get our trucks delivered so there are no excuses here. To the shipper, you've been paid to do a job now do it. Come on Ford! Lets give the customer what they have paid for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldwizard Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Shortage of rail cars/locomotives. Locomotives are hauling crude oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-150 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Shortage of rail cars/locomotives. Locomotives are hauling crude oil. This is true all over. Get that Keystone approved and built and rail will have capacity again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm95 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Sounds like you need a train to haul that load of BS you putting out there. Like I said, what is the real issue here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford truck guy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I consider myself lucky..... Had my truck on my dealers lot within 2 weeks of the build date.... I did hear that there was a few rail issues... Major rail work delaying certain routes... And a shortage of car carrying locomotives for some reason...not sure how true any of that is... But maybe it's time to step up and get a plan B.... Start moving the backlog on car carriers to central distribution areas to BeBe loaded onto other carriers to certain areas.???? I have heard stories of trucks sitting in transfer lots for 5-6 weeks waiting.... Just check out the vehicle tracker and see some of the built dates and revised eta's....
