RealCrapper · 04-24-2007, 01:28 AM

How long do they usually take to get from the VPC to the dealership?

lkraven · 04-24-2007, 01:49 AM

Depends on where the dealer is located. Priority 1 vehicles get moved up at the VPC, and being that it's the end of the month and both the longshoremen and the dealerships get financial rewards for padding the month's numbers, things tend to move a little quicker.

Could be anywhere from 2-14 days though... Usually somewhere around 5-7, I believe, is usual for getting out of VPC, then however long it takes to travel by truck to the dealership.

NPDAN · 04-24-2007, 08:49 AM

Yea, I've heard 5 to 7 as well.

Is it possible that the Cepheus Leader and Maersk Wave will switch places on the Port Hueneme schedule? I show the Maersk Wave still being off the coast of San Diego right now, well behind the Cepheus Leader. Possible that the Port Hueneme schedule is mixed up since it show the Maersk Wave today and the Cepheus Leader tomorrow?

The Port schedule says MW today and CL tomorrow, but it hasn't been updated since 4/19....

lkraven · 04-24-2007, 12:00 PM

Possible, but we won't know until after it it happens since the schedule won't be updated again until 4/26.

NPDAN · 04-24-2007, 12:06 PM

It's weird you mention that cause I heard back at the biginning of the month, not sure from who, that the CL was updated to arrive on the 24th... sh!t, dont remember which thread i read it from...

aaahhhhh maybe I heard read from one of your posts??? either way our ride are in town... just have to put up with a few more days...

lkraven · 04-24-2007, 01:38 PM

It's kind of academic anyway, regarding the time, because if the Leader has not already ported, it is scheduled to port at 3am Wednesday morning... only some 15 hours away.
