Guys, I have been doing a bit of digging and it looks like a couple of Jack Cooper trucks have now arrived at the Ingersoll shipping yard and then come back to London. So some cars are now on the move. The truck that arrived in London this week had a Z06 on it that was built January 23rd with VIN#5602963. The truck went directly to Ingersoll to drop off cars there and then came back to London to drop off at least 3 different Corvettes at Finch Chev. I also know that cars from the plant have been brought to Ingersoll for Brian Cullen's dealership this week as well.
I think by Monday or Tuesday your dealerships could be seeing a change in your status. Here's an update that I expect you will see next week on your cars:
SeaWolf, Dan your car was built Jan 26th, the one delivered here this week was built only 3 days earlier so I expect your Z06 to be moving this week.
Ned, your E-Ray built Jan 29th is waiting to be loaded on a truck and should be moving this week.
Barney, Graham your car is built Jan 10th and it will be on the first train leaving this week.
1stVette, with your car's ETA of April 18th as advised by Northgate, your car is going to need to be on the first train as well or it won't get to Edmonton by then.
Rommel, your car being built on Feb 7th will require you to move to Bayed status over the next 10 days before it's scheduled to be loaded on an Ontario bound truck.
RedPearl, Bahran with a Feb 2nd build and heading to Spencer's, I expect your car to moved to Bayed status by the end of this coming week and be scheduled for transport the next week. Jack Coopers as I expected is going by the date first built is the first to be shipped and not last in first out OR filling a complete load for one dealership. The Lansing transfer station is only 7 hours from the plant and the idea of this taking 6 days to reach by train makes me cringe for the guys out west.
GM Musl, Hal, last but not least, yesterday you reported still being at 3800 status with your build date of Feb 12th, cars are moving quickly to Finch and Morgan who's at the Spring Mountain Z06 school today and tomorrow should see yourself moved to bayed status in about 10 days. I don't think the fact that you have an E-Ray coming is going to push you along any faster unless your car is pulled especially and added as an extra on a load headed to Ingersoll with other cars headed to Finch. It happens from time to time. Your a couple of weeks behind some of the others but will still get here faster than going by train!
For all the rest, the 4B00 Bayed status -Vehicle waiting on transportation is the status you need to hear from your dealers. Your shipping will be with a few days once a truck has been assigned to your car. For the next month, there will be multiple trucks coming towards southern Ontario every day as a higher than average build cycle is planned for Canadian cars this month that have been pushed back in February and March. GM has said nothing but released all of the vehicles in Bayed status to Jack Cooper over the past 2 days. There are currently over 200 cars to go on trains and over 300 to be trucked to Ontario. Things will now move quickly as they have been waiting for the go ahead for almost 2 weeks. Smile guys and enjoy your long weekend!
Scott
