There are so many variables from Driver, to stops in between to unload to "resets"

To give you a idea, from Nashville to VA, which is a 9 hour drive non stop some approx times and time frames.

The driver left at 7PM on Thursday.
8:00 Stopped for the night
Friday
10AM left - Stopped two - three times and stopped for the night at 5
Saturday
10AM left - Non-Stop to his house arrived 4PM to "reset"
Monday
11AM left his house
12PM Arrived at stop #1
1:30PM Arrived at stop #2
2:30PM Arrived at stop #3 - My dealer.
Driver then told me he was done for the day at 3pm!

As you see it took him some 4 days to go "9 hours"

How did you find out your car was on the transport? I have an invoice and a built car but dealer says he does not know if car is shipped or not. BTW I live in southern Idaho. What color did you order?
