Truck Stop

I have a 19 F250 in transit and I called Ford yesterday and they told me it was in St Louis. I said ok is it on the way to the dealership or would it have to make other stops. She said on the way. Perfect I thought. Today they said its still in St Louis. Would anyone have any idea what it would be sitting there for? Or if the Ford rep has any idea what they are talking about. Cotus says I have 12 days left but if its on the way from St Louis it should get here today or tomorrow.

Maybe it’s waiting on a truck. Have you tried plugging your VIN into the shipping company’s site to see if anything comes up? My info was available here.

I live 100 miles from St. Louis and my truck sat at the train yard in StL for 2 weeks waiting for a truck to bring it to my dealer in Jefferson City. Talk about a painful wait!

I'm slightly south of you, outside of sullivan.

STL is a common drop off point for cars and trucks, they're then trucked to dealers or reloaded on trains.

Well that website was very helpful. I learned that there is three main carriers that pickup from the Wentzville Rail yard:

Facility Statistics

Haulaway Bays: 1685
Railcar Spots: 35
Acreage: 22
Manufacturer(s): Chrysler, Ford, GM
Haulaway Carrier: Fleetcar, Jack Cooper, JMN

Jack Cooper is who has my vin in their system and they are the ones who hauled it in KY. I was just told it was still on the rail and not picked up yet. Yes, it sucks to wait. Thanks for everyone's input, I was just hoping the delivery was going to exceed the cotus expectations. Guess not.
