Never mind. 15 minutes later it's back to showing "Pending" with no destinations. The sight was probably on maintenance or something.


I think Bob is right on the money about palsapp.com, I looked up three vehicles that I know were already delivered to my dealer and they still show pending on that site with no destination info. I don't know that their info will ever be reliable.

I think it is reliable if they move your truck, they just don't move all trucks, yet I think they have info on all trucks in case they do.

Hard to say but based on what I have seen and my expert analysis.

I just called the JCT KC Dispatch line for info on mine. They don't even show that they have it yet. Guy said that it was destined for the Argentine yard (?) but that it wasn't there and he had no idea where it was. Truck was supposedly built 9.5.17 and due to dealer this week according to COTUS. *****. No idea what is going on.

You're in the same boat I am. My lariat was ordered 8/10 and built 9/13. cotus shows it to be delivered to lawrence ks on 9/30. Cotus Original delivery date was 9/25 then went to 10/1 and now 9/30. Nothing on JCT. I'm guessing it went by rail from Dearborn to the KC Argentine yard like yours. I knew when I ordered it was going to be 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. but doesn't make the wait any easier.

JCT still shows my truck as pending. COTUS says it is estimated delivery by 9-30. My dealer says she shows my truck to be released from the factory and to be delivered this week.


All that is too good to be true!!

Mine still shows Wednesday, though it hasn’t shipped yet. I guess it is only a 5 hour drive from KC, so my dealer must be getting a direct line then if it’s still expected to show up in another day.

My reply to this will cast full light on my obsession with my order...
So, I've been following the VIN of a truck that is 2 numbers different from mine and is destined to a dealership in a nearby town. Yesterday it's status on palsapp.com showed as dispatched. When it has been dispatched, then a trip number shows up on palsapp.com. If you enter that trip number in to the same search bar, it gives the information for all vehicles shipped on that truck.
I then took that trip number and increased the last digit by one. Low an behold, the list of vehicles included in that trip number included mine!
Today that trip number shows as having been dispatched! I'll be stopping by my dealer this afternoon to confirm it is there!
(Also, that other truck with the really close VIN has been delivered today to the nearby dealership.)

It seems to show both.
My window sticker says "Convoy," but the first delivery receipt that I've downloaded for mine from palsapp.com is from KCAP to a railyard a very short distance away, and the new information is for a trip from a railyard in Edmonton, to my dealer.
Yours should be to you soon. Your distance from KCAP to your dealer is not much more than mine; we are both in western Canada; your VIN is only a couple hundred after mine; and your awaiting shipment on Cotus was completed 2 days after mine.
As there are no rail connections to the Island, it will probably be shipped rail in to the lower mainland, and then trucked to the Island. It might take a couple more days for that.
Here's to hoping!

Does anyone know where you can purchase an F5-key rebuild kit for a Dell keyboard?
