IM Z06 journey from BG to So Cal

[smajicek]

I read your first post as YOU were trailing a trucker.
I am guessing you are Onstaring and following.

Yes OnStaring it, when it gets 1 hour fom my dealer I will head there to take video of it unloading

Looks like driver has gone to bed, that is a good thing. He is at 1701 US-66 W, Moriarty, NM, been there over 1 hour now, he has 824 miles left from total 2,067 mile

C8zeb08,
I had MM activate the onstar b4 leaving BG, I am not sure if this is something that can be done after the car has been loaded up?

Thank you for this information! I will contact MM and see if they can do the same for my car. They probably won't because it is going to them but worth a shot. Last I've heard it's STILL sitting at BGA bayed waiting for shipment.

No update to the transport driver this morning, still parked in same place. It makes sense what is the hurry when there are another 12 hours to my dealer if he left now he would arrive late at night. I figure he is aiming for a Thursday morning delivery at the dealer.

Truck drivers can only drive for 12 hour intervals by law.
They are just resting knowing they have precious cargo.
AND, want to drive that last 12 hours hands 10 & 2 with eyes forward.

Ok we have movement after long sleep, looks like 11 hours to go

Which trucking coming are you using? I followed my c8's to my house using both onstar as well as Plycar and Reliable's tracking link. I found that onstar was not too accurate if they were not in a good wi-fi location. Don't be surprised if you find out that they are only a couple hours away. So exciting......

This is a courtesy delivery so whatever GM uses? I have a feeling he will get to my destination dealer Dellilo Chevrolet in Huntington Beach, California late tonight say midnight and park in front of the dealership to sleep and unload next morning? Does anyone know if they unload in the late night so they can get back on the road?

Don't forget that being this is a courtesy delivery it's just like any other corvette going to a local dealer in the SoCal area. You's might and might Not be the first to off load. A lot of dealers in the area getting corvettes.

I've seen them unload cars at my dealer on Sunday when they are closed. They just park them in the back and use the service department key drop. They might do the same at night.

[DannoHB]

if You call the fleet manager "Hollywood" at Delillo, He could tell you if they off load after hrs.

[smajicek]

I did and left a message, here is a text from him...
"Sorry I missed your call. I have No Clue when the driver is going to show up. You're welcome to sleep on Taylor Street that's where he drops them off, but we have No Idea when it's going to arrive. Until it gets here I can't do anything."

my question is "is it safe to sleep on Taylor street?" lol

[DannoHB]

I would camp out in the service lanes after hours. they are on Taylor drive.

Huntington Beach will probably be at the end of the day tomorrow. Mine was the first off the truck since my dealer is right off the I15 in Fontana. I saw the manifest and the other 8-9 cars were all south and west from there with the beach cities last. The trucker will probably stop and sleep tonight in Lenwood or Hesperia then get an early start into the basin.

[smajicek]

I just looked and he is in Needles CA, that's 4 hours away, I will head to dealer if I see him 45 minutes from dealer. looks like I wont sleep too much tonight.
