Orion highway 2023 (feb)

Bbs_sam · 02-05-2023, 07:33 AM

Morning fellas!

I just looked at it shows we’re in Dundalk.
We moved from Sparrows point.

I also don’t know how to upload photos or I would 😂

V8MAN · 02-05-2023, 08:18 AM

Good find,yea looks like the new VPC is located near where the ship originally docked (google maps actually shows the VPC at Sparrows point). Is possible that they unloaded the cars yesterday and now they are unloading something else at a different area.

At least we know the ship is at Baltimore, which is a good thing, but no idea what they are doing!

The ship appears to be in the correct spot for unloading to the VPC (with a short drive) as of early this morning. She is moored just upriver on the other side of the highway.

Interestingly, the first docking location (Sparrow Point) is closer to the VPC than the current one. Our cars may have been taken off at the first stop?

lol

Schedule hasn't changed, still showing sailing out of Baltimore today and arriving at Brunswick on Tuesday, lets go!

You heading to Brunswick? Not sure who else here is taking a ride to Brunswick on this ship also.

Nope my final destination was Baltimore. Then transport by carrier to Kentucky.
Just wanted to check if everything was on schedule!

Ah. Thanks for clarifying. Google maps should be updated!

Interesting. I’m about an hour north of Nashville yet my car did not have to come through Brunswick. I would’ve thought our cars would be on the same carrier with our destinations being so close.

yea that is very odd. I wonder if it is something at the dealerships discretion or just an automated decision that gets made when they place an order. Probably each dealership always gets their cars delivered from the same port.

At the port for me as well.

V8MAN · 02-06-2023, 06:58 AM

And for those of us continuing our voyage, we are on the way and not far from the Atlantic now.

Bbs_sam · 02-06-2023, 08:34 AM

Woohoo! I switched to “at port” as well!
Hope it’s less than a week to get this car! I’m excited!

G80beydoun · 02-06-2023, 09:15 AM

At the port !!!

SpinalTap · 02-06-2023, 09:41 AM

Genius tells me my car is scheduled to be on a truck 2/9 and at my dealer by the weekend.

G80beydoun · 02-06-2023, 01:31 PM

Genius told me estimated arrival at dealer 2/11 which is this week, but i hope it’s earlier usually it’s earlier right

My car is going to a dealer in Cleveland and my CA felt like it could arrive on the 10th but he was hesitant to give me too much hope. (Probably due to the weather in that area at this time of year.) if you are closer than my dealer you may have a shot at getting it sooner.

Pretty close by, dealer is at indiana

tommyguntragedy · 02-06-2023, 02:12 PM

Just talked to genius and they said loading on truck 2/9, delivery 2/11.

The guy was probably like you're the fifth baltimore port car to call in today what is going on LOL

G80beydoun · 02-06-2023, 02:19 PM

Genius told me the car got loaded onto a carrier, ETA went from 2/11 to 2/13, shouldn’t take that long tho right?

Yes, they may. I’ll be turning mine right around to head past Canton back to Western PA, south of the Burgh.

Fortunately, no snowstorms this week to slow the truck down!
