Special truck, special rates, special schedule, special driver. Add Holiday and you get extra special rate. Hope I'm wrong but I think next not so special week.

Same status here as of last PM. Sat is still possible but I think early next week is best bet.

Monday flew to Richmond Va. , Started driving south hauling a 27' Grady White, overnight Holiday express in South Carolina , yesterday had breakfast at the Denny's On the 95 Exit for the Brunswick
port saw plenty of car carrying trucks , Reliable etc. , thought about going to the port with my comm# paper work to see if could gleam any info and decided that could be a frustrating so kept driving south thru rain and all arrived Palm Beach county by afternoon .
Beginning to feel like Cat "D" customer

I feel you. I was driving home from my office yesterday and saw a Truck. I decided to follow it to the dealer to see if I may get lucky. The driver told me that he has a white carrera in there but it turn out to be just a regular 911. I got excited for a moment.

One of the great guys, SA , at my dealer told me, often they receive

inventory cars before customer cars (sold ones like ours ) first

off ship and there is no priority other than weight on the truck;



and they only know when the truck shows up what is on it .

Was at my dealer on the weekend and he saw a truck pull out and proceeded to go outside to see what vehicles had come off. You seem to be right, they don't what's on the truck until they're unloaded.
