Convoy vs rail shipping

[KKDivan]

I noticed on my window sticker it says "convoy". Does that mean the truck gets hauled on a semi from the factory to my dealer? Or will it still sit in a rail yard and on a train somewhere in between? I'm located just north of Minneapolis, MN

Typically, "convoy" means it will be transported by truck in a group with other vehicles, rather than being sent individually by rail. So, your vehicle will likely travel directly from the factory to a distribution center or your dealer's location by truck.

On a related note, I recently came across an interesting article about various shipping methods, including motorcycle shipping via rail. It explained how rail transport can be an efficient and cost-effective way to transport vehicles over long distances, offering a secure alternative to road transport. This might be particularly relevant if you're considering options beyond the standard truck delivery, especially given your location near Minneapolis, MN.

I hope this information helps clarify how your vehicle will likely be transported and provides some additional insights into alternative shipping methods!
