Haha actually you can track the trucks...if you know what truck it's on (which is the trickier part.)

Our vehicles checked in the VDC at midnight last night and mine has already passed, assigned, and scheduled. ETA to Oklahoma City is 4/13! I'm not holding my breath just yet, but good news none the less. That would put me in the 6 week turn time!

Received a message from my MA today. He said my CM is now in transit! It should be in Balimore May 10th! Not sure what ship that is, he didn't say. Anyone know?
YEAH! WOO! <falls down and passes out>

Looks like the last update was ~ 9 hours ago around the Outer Banks. Hope it didn't sink.

Back out to sea this morning, so I'm assuming our cars are on the dock!! Let's hope they didn't get any scrapes or bruises, and they'll be out of the VDC & on a truck quickly!!

A police escort would be fantastic. I keep checking the OL and 866# waiting for status to change, or a delivery date to magically appear, but so far nothing. I'm way too impatient for this type of wait!!

Is anyone on the Florida Highway? My understanding is that it is due to arrive in Georgia on Sept 22nd. Am trying to find a way to track it but so far, no success. Tried the Shipfinder iPad app but it does not have this vessel in it's database. Any ideas on how to track?

You can try the website marine traffic.com. But if the ship is too far out to sea you won't see it. I think it has to be within about 100 miles of a major land mass before it can be tracked. After the Toscana left Southampton, I did not see it until it was almost to the port in Panama.

Another Florida Highway Stowaway!!

Hey All!!
Let's party hardy! Been tracking the Florida Highway on its trip from Bremerhaven to Southampton into the Celtic Sea. Seas look good and it should be smooth sailing. Find it strange that Florida Highway skips from Baltimore to Brunswick before stopping at Charleston...but...mine may get here two days earlier! Happy motoring all!
