10/18-24...but it flew from KTP, hoping for the front end of that ETA. Should be at the terminal tonight. It was pinging all of the stops across MO this afternoon, pretty cool.

How are you guys tracking your truck once it's built? Mine had a build week of 10/11 so it should be built but shows "In Production" on chat & the dealer. Dealer shows ETA 10/24-10/30. Chat shows 10/30. Again, what's the best way to track it from this point? Window sticker says "Rail" as method of shipment.

Once it's built, and ETIS populates, get a picture of the vehicle visibility report from your dealer. It will show all of the movement after the truck rolls off the line, plus the rail car number for shipping. Then you call the carrier (instructions are buried here and there on these threads...quick search) and you're off to the races. Good luck!

ETIS shows build date of 12.10.2016 I'm assuming this means 10/12/16 as it correlates with what my dealer has said. ETIS just today put this date up. The dealers vehicle visibility report will show movement from here on out? I hate bugging my dealer, I sound like a kid bugging mom about Christmas when I call but they have always been helpful.
EDIT: also wanted to mention, based on my vehicle visibility report, KTP, Jack Cooper trucking (gets SD's from KTP to the intermodal terminal) and all the rail lines work 24/7...there's activity throughout the night.

Thanks for all the help, will be bugging the dealer Monday morning! Sold my truck 6 weeks ago. Driving the wife's old Denali (which is sold soon as I get my truck) just isn't cutting it. Hard to haul anything in it and I just about blew out the rear air suspension towing a big trailer! LOL Anyhow, really looking forward to the new truck. Thanks again!
