Default Blend - what does it mean

Got my window sticker for my truck today. The blend date is listed as follows.

Does this mean the truck is scheduled to be build on or about July 18th? Any other pertinent info that can be derived from the window sticker?

Does "CONVOY" mean it is shipping vial truck rather than rail?

Thanks

My blend date is about the time COTUS started tracking my build IIRC. Mine says convoy too but was shipped via rail followed by truck as I believe most are. I believe someone told me all the KCAP- built trucks say convoy.

Depends on where you are at. I am in SE Michigan, my truck was trucked right to the dealership.

most of these trucks spend at least some time on a rail car unless you live right near the plant.
