I'm surprised by the ETAs I am seeing coming to Michigan compared to some others people have been posting. Maybe I'm able to hitch a ride with some of the executive cars.

19 days and counting.
Is there trucking info from palsapp? Does everything have to be offloaded in KC before it gets trucked or trained? Or can some vehicles stay on auto racks and just get moved to another engine headed north?

My freight bill is my MME and a 2019 F150 that according to the VIN had some major recalls
? we are all getting more info that we need with this entire process - at least I feel I would not have been exposed to so much info around automobile production and shipping if not for the MME order - so so different from picking a car from the lot

No idea actually, just know the ETAs, which can be changed since they are estimated.

It's a 10 hour truck drive from KC so I'm guessing it finishes the ride on a truck.

I have In Transit status too as of today so it must be on a moving train? Palsapp shows pending with a freight bill number and when I check that freight bill number on palsapp it only shows two vehicles - one is my Mach Drop and another is F150. That is confusing - the only answer i can think of is that what is showing on the Palsapp is from KC to my dealer and to that dealer there are these two vehicles going? Otherwise cant figure out what the F150 is doing going from that plant to KC.
That's my guess too, that palsapp is showing just the truck transport from KC to our destination city. Especially since it shows KC as the origin. I would guess there's just 2 vehicles signed up for that truck so far but more will be added to fill it up. If it's like mine (late Feb ETA), that part is still weeks away, so plenty of time to fill the truck up.

Actually - this reminds of earlier posts - the palsapp is probably showing delivery from KC drop off ramp (from plant) to the next pick up point. So they may have scheduled our vehicles plus others to be picked up from train station and dropped off at next point which is usually a train segment - and there these F150s go where ever they go and the MMEs get loaded separately.

My ETA updated from 3/3 to 2/22 today. Looking at the Freight Bill on Pals App shows a 2nd vehicle on the same freight bill #. It's a 2019 F150 . . . wonder if the freight bill #'s get recycled. I doubt they are shipping a 2019 F150 still . . . . .
BTW - scheduled build date 1/4, actual build date 1/15, actual ship date 1/23 . . .headed to SoCal via KC. FE RR.

Cool - perhaps there is hope for me too as I have same build date and ETA date of 3/3 but In Transit today but coming south to SD county.

Mine too (2019 F-150). That's the 4th one I've heard now. That can't be accurate. Must be some quirk, or placeholder.

The VIN on the my freight bill's 2019 F-150 is 1FTEW1C56KKF31518. That wouldn't happen to be the same as the one you see, would it?

Its so funny to see these F150s - may be they are place holders? The F150 VIN I am seeing is incorrect missing a digit - 1FTEW1EP7KKF29968

Not the same VIN - 1FTFX1E51KKF27553

I personally think the freight bill is unique to each vehicle and they just recycle the numbers (since there is not an infinite amount . . . .
They wouldn't use a single freight bill for multiple vehicles that could have multiple drop off points.

Looks like we had the same suspicion at the same time. Ours are different VINs.
Yeah I was wondering if it was just a placeholder. But the idea that it's just a reused number makes sense. That or a bunch of 2019 F150s were really messed up and had to be sent back to factory.

Could still have the same dropoff points though. My palsapp destination is blank still. I don't know if that truck is going direct from KC to my Denver-area dealership, or to a central Denver depot where they offload and switch to smaller transport to various dealers, or even just transfer to another city for another transfer.
