PSA Regarding Bayed / Shipping

[foot 1]

I have a strange feeling our cars are not where Jack Coopers site says. I thought Rob said your car was delivered and that's why it's not listed ?? Did you call your dealer ??

I did call the dealer they said its still in Lansing , I've already traded my CTSV 3 in and paid the difference , just waiting .

 

[Akamai58]

I thought your car was picked up by a Roush transport truck .

LOL, I think they may have delivered it to the Lansing CN Yard and that's it. So far it shows my car with Burn813 parked and sitting. The dealer says it still shows Roush but that's it.

I think all the cars on trip # 0721218004 are still stranded .

@poor-sha There's another thread about how to track the train's particular rail car that has our cars in them, but I don't think you can do it until the car is actually loaded onto the rail car.

Not sure how long it'll be before it gets on the train, but I'm pretty sure mine is right there with yours.

Here's the rail tracking thread

How to Track Your Car by RailCar Number

As we look for ways to track our cars, I found this way to do it. Tried it and it worked. As of 10:26am this morning ... on 8/12 at 9:59pm railcar left Nashville (CSX). I got the railcar number from the Cadillac advisor, then used the telephone directions from the Stingray Forum thread...

www.cadillacvnet.com

But it's only useful if you're actually able to get the railcar number that your car is on. A couple of people seem to have been able to get that out of the Cadillac Virtual Assistant, but most of us have been unsuccessful in that where the assistant says they don't have that info and refers us to our dealers. YMMV.

My rep at the dealer has been very nice and sent me that picture from one of her tracking systems.

 

[burn813]

there is one other person here that is on the same trip #0721218001 as me @dwn4cause

At least you had more BW than others on your truck

Yes, but you have to understand that other than GM's Global Connect system, I can't see other dealers' orders with that level of accuracy as each dealer can. I can only see what's in the Order Workbench system, and where links are present to drill down, do not exist for me because I don't work for all Cadillac dealers.

Oh, got it, so GM system after it exits the plant isn't accurate but dealers systems likely are.

Is that a good thing?

I can't vouch for the level of accuracy. I can tell you that different screens will provide different information. Which is more accurate, I cannot say. In a previous post, I did mention that both GM's VINView and Jack Coopers tracking systems both suck and at times, are notoriously inaccurate.

Also, I wonder if that TripId is just for the trip from the Plant to the Yard...

Yes, based on my car. had no relevance beyond JCT shipping it to New Boston.

 

[DustinEarnhardt]

I wonder how long it sits at the rail yard before being put on a rail car?

Logistics companies typically have delivery time as an internal performance metric, so I would think they're incentivized to load them on cars and get them out quickly. Plus, the longer it's in their possession, the more liability exposure they have.

So is this saying that the map shows it in Toledo still but the tracking says it went back to Lansing?

Well it depends… some it seems like less than 24 hours… others (me, @Akamai58) they have become part of the yard
