I tracked my Porsche Carrera GT across the United States with an Apple AirTag! I recently shipped my Porsche Carrera GT across the USA to California, so I tracked its progress with an AirTag. Here's what happened!

As a truck driver(CAR HAULER) for 12 years, I've driven coast to coast well over 100 times. Everything you mentioned here is correct. What a great vid! I would add, we are limited to 11 hours of driving a day and 70 hours every 8 days. There's more detail than that, but that's the basics. Also, he was probably in Chicago for 2 days to perform his 34 hour reset off-duty, in order to reset his 70 hours. Not only do we deliver to dealers and individuals, but sometimes auctions as well. The hours of operation as far as businesses go is the number one limiting factor with what we do. Being capped at 65 or 70mph, etc. doesn't help either.
Is there great money to be made in hauling vehicles? I had my license since 2017 and now deliver 53 foot dry van for amazon, would be nice to change it up
@@techyin326 In my 23 years of driving I have found that it all depends on what you haul and who you work for. You have to work for a good company and they are not easy to find these days. I worked for 6 different companies before I got with the company Ive been with for the last 10 years and its been a really nice fit. Ive found that the smaller family owned companies are the better ones.
Are you capped to that speed by law, the limitations of the truck, or by the company you work for? Sorry if that's a stupid question
@@natedole8276 My dad is a truck driver so I have some knowledge too😂… but anyways it depends, some companies especially big companies do have electronic limiters, but the bigger danger is just getting pulled over for your speed in general. The laws are a lot stricter
@@natedole8276 it’s mostly companies like a lot of them electronically limit the speed of the trucks below the speed limit which is actually pretty dangerous not being able to get up to speed. But it could also depend on the truck and what’s being hauled because some trucks are less powerful and the loads can be heavier.
That’s one thing that disconnects Doug from most people of his “fame”. He puts effort towards understanding everything about everyone involved in everything he does. He feels actual empathy, compassion, pride in everyone involved in his journeys, and I absolutely love that.
GLOB ON HIS BALLS BRO ... THE DUDE HAS A MULTIMILLION SUPERCAR .. AND I LITERALLY NEVER HEARD HE EVER DONATED TO ANY CHARITY ... while pewdiepie who has 120 million + subs donates 200k a week to charities ... while driving a volvo suv while he's worth over 60 mill ....
Dont forget to check out CARS and BIDS
THIS!
I think that may be due more to his being on the spectrum more than some fanciful notion of "empathy" and "compassion" 🤣
And he honestly grasps my industry (trucking) better than most of my fellow drivers and supervisors. He'd love to do a deep dive on the insane loo logistics of LTL trucking, from coordinating 12-15 pickups and deliveries per day per truck to the PRO number barcode system to routing crossdocking, etc. It is honestly a very complex network and the truck is only the face of the industry. Doug seems to really grasp that concept and it means a lot to me.
Doug is the type of guy to know more about each of the dust caps on his car then I do about my odometer reading
And he's given them names too
what happened to the "less doug demuro" channel?
He's so intense 😂
That's what you do, when you know absolutely know nothing about the actual technology - which is the reason I like this channel.
Cauz he got time now . Not like us need to for money . He got money to work for him now
As a truck driver myself i relate a bit to this. Truck driving is limited by the Elogs, we have to sleep for 10h straight, then we open our shift and we can only drive 11h out of the 14h window you get when opening your shift. After you drive those 11h or less depending your day, then you go to sleep 10h and then you can begin your next day. Also you can not drive more than 8h straight, so before you reach 8h of driving you have to stop and make a 30 min break, and then you can complete your 11h of driving!
Thanks for sharing some transportation industry guidlines
Wow. That's pretty fascinating. Thanks for sharing. Everything your truck does ( including speed ) must be tracked then?
@@hob976 everything. Acceleration, speed, braking, cornering, seatbelt/ no seatbelt etc..
Yes it’s fun pulling in to park with minutes left on the clock. Nothing else like it.
@@michaelhatfield5808 hahah i can imagine, like beating a time trial in a game
Wanted to add that you should AirTag your car any time you drop it off for service. Beyond the interest of where it might go for a “test drive”, it is useful to know when your car is taken into the service bay and returned to the holding area.
Either an airtag or having a dashcam
My AirTag on the key ring was useful for when they “lost” the key. I found it in a drawer in the mechanic’s toolbox - they just lost it there and apparently forgot about it.
@@Grant_Woodford They will disconnect dashcams
@@edward1425 Exactly - all the time... if they have nothing to hide, they should leave it connected.
I dropped off my Honda Accord (the sport 2.0, so it's not like totally boring lol) at the dealer for an oil change and some other maintenance and took a rental somewhere. An hour later I was alerted from my tracking device (T-Mobile sync up drive) that the vehicle was going 100 mph On the highway by the dealership and doing hard pulls and breaking. One quick call to them and it turns out my next several services will be free :)
Funny thing is they initially told me something wasn't reading right until I showed up at the dealership in the car wasn't there and an employee sheepishly pulled in.
Like... It's an accord lol.
As a truck driver I love when people ask me about my job, and it makes me super happy that you did a video on this! It makes me feel so happy that people are interested in what I do and want to know about what things are like instead of assuming we have the easiest job in the world and don’t understand or know all the different things we have to consider on a daily basis
"honey I need a hug"
"cant, Carrera just stopped moving"
I drive and I have had customers track me with an air tag. Kind of funny. My customer had the same curiosities as Doug and my response was probably similar to the response that his driver gave. The commercial transportation business is crazy enough to make veterans of the industry curious. P.S. NICE CAR DOUG!!!!
Kudos to you guys 👍. I bet that you can talk all day everyday about the good and bad things that happen during your drive 😂☺️.....
Respect you for doing that job. Did you mind being tracked/ think customer's should be able to see your location anyway?
@@alexadeshigbin8129 truth is everyone carrying a cell phone is being tracked.
I guess some/(most?) trucking companies are already tracking their vehicles anyway
@@mpolfer do you guys still use the CB radio ( candy can)?
Honestly - did not expect much from this video. Thought it would be incredibly dull. But, as usual, Doug - you nailed it. Made "watching a dot travel across a map" quite exciting haha!
@@MalikChrom Same, but I guess some of it is secret ... but he could have bluredr some of it 😢🤣. Me the type of guy interested in the route of a car I will never see and could never afford, great job Doug 🤣🤣🤣
@@MalikChrom Dude he's not gonna share other people's addresses online...
He’s so freaking awesome at what he does lol I think America loves him. I know I do but no homo lol
@@MalikChrom or even the map on San Antonio.
@Terminus Est it can be decimating sometimes.
I’ve been a CDL driver for nearing three decades and I find it very interesting that people fail to realize all of the things that are involved. Your fascination and explanation and discovery, was very interesting. Congratulations on the Porsche.
I thought it got stolen.
Same here, gave me a mini heart attack
Click bait at it's finest 👌🏽. I aint mad though. Gotta hate the game not the player
@@theseaofoceans not clickbait
The video would be more entertaining if it was, just constantly
bragging about it, is very boring.
Possible title: My car is getting sent to Malta
Your excitement for the incoming delivery, love of cars, self deprecating analysis, credit given to truckers, and respect given to truckers, made this video incredibly wholesome. Also it's exciting and informative!
Interesting take for sure, Doug has showed alot more people how trucks operate. I don't know how possible it would be but if Doug ever reviews a Peterbilt 389/379 or Kenworth W900 it would be such an interesting video.
I have been thinking about this for awhile, mainstream youtuber doing a review and actually doing some driving, I think it would be an eye opener and also would reach a broad audience, it definitely would be a great educational material for viewers.
Please make it happen Doug
THIS... is a Kenworth W900 and today I'm going to show you all of its QUIRKS and FEATURES.
But first be sure to check out my new venture Trucks and Bids...
Lmao the American Truck Simulator starting trucks
I'd love to see him review and test drive one of those, especially if someone let him borrow and do a couple miles with an empty trailer.
As a fellow auto carrier. I appreciate this video you did. Gives info on the logistics that goes into transporting a vehicle. Hopefully the individuals that think it's only about their car are watching and learn a thing or two. Just because you are wealthy does not mean the world revolves around you. only comes down to number of hours being able to leagally drive. Believe me that if it was up to us we would continue driving till the job is done. TIME IS MONEY!

Hi Doug, I followed you for a long time. I just wanted to say I myself am a truck driver. I personally don’t transport cars. I have transported a lot of things, and through my time being a driver one thing you get used to is being tracked. Most drivers are tracked on a daily basis, whether by our computer logs which is our hours that we are allowed to drive or my phone pretty much every company that ships anything from household goods to cars to raw materials, requires tracking. I love the videos and look forward to the next one eye one day. Also hope to have a nice car until then keep a safe and stay shiny side up.

Doug is an excellent example of being a student forever. You're the best Doug! Thanks for sharing this.
I was just thinking about this topic. Dad had a lower priced vintage car delivered to our very middle-class house, but it came in an enclosed Lamborghini branded trailer. After I asked, the driver listed a handful of recent deliveries that were all a few hundred thousand dollar cars. If you enjoy being on the road, it seems like a sweet job to drive all these vehicles (10 feet at a time), see awesome houses, and meet the super rich. My dad was eagerly waiting for the call that the driver was close, so interesting to hear about the stops and timing involved too.
I like how Doug described his endeavour as "a student". He said he got things down to a T and still called himself "a student" where other people could have easily called it "an expert" of a particular thing, acknowledging there must be other people who are more expert than him. I appreciate this tiny showcase of humility so much.
4:27 all students of road travel know it is toilet time and sex workers.
I genuinely wondered what was going on when I shipped my RS5 from CA to NJ… Thank you Doug and Cars & Bids for allowing me to purchase one of my favorite Audi’s ever created!

I love your excitement, It's no Carerra GT but I was just as hyped for my dream car (Subaru STi). Regardless of what dream vehicle it is, achieving it is awesome and so is watching others.
I’d be so excited just to be allowed to touch a Carerra GT. I can’t imagine how awesome it must feel to own one. I’m happy for you and your family Doug
Welcome to the life of a trucker, Doug. When I'm fully loaded, it can take me upwards of 5 MINUTES to get to 60mph if there's any sort of incline.
In that 5 minutes, you've already put on 5-6 miles of distance on us. Now add to that the time lost when we get stuck behind a Swift trailer doing 64mph or have to stop and fuel. Fueling plus cleaning the windows and adding DEF can take upwards of 30 minutes at a busy truck stop.
It really is a slow job. Back before electronic logs (which I support, btw), I could run from Louisville, Kentucky to Hookset, NH and back in 36 hours. 16 up and 16 back with a few hours of rest between. Now, it's a mandatory 3 day journey that often becomes 4 with delivery schedules. That's money lost for us and added wait times on loads. But it does make for a safer industry. Too many companies took advantage (and still do) of their employees and ruined the good thing we had.
I love this content. I appreciate your Indy to Albuquerque trip Doug. When I purchased my C7 Carbon 65 Z06 on Cars and Bids in November of 2021 I road tripped the car from Detroit to Los Angeles in 2 1/2 days. On Day 2 I went from Des Moines, IA to Green River UT. Over slept and didn't leave until 9AM and pulled into Green River at 11PM. I pulled 1002 miles that day in a C7 Z07 Corvette. I was very proud of that day and no one else cared. haha. I know exactly how you feel Doug.
Doug is the type of guy to drive a million dollar car through a whole continent, and we love it

Why not... cars are for driving!

I love these kinds of vids that Doug does. His enthusiasm is very entertaining. And every time I watch one of these vids, I learn a tond of new stuff, including things I've never wondered about but nontheless found very interesting. Great job Doug, keep them coming!!! :-)

I want to clear up some things that Doug mentioned as I’m a transporter with my own company, Pavs Trucking. Yes we are limited by time. 14 hours a shift and within that 14 hours only 11 can be driving so we can only get maybe 500-600 miles in a day. Also trucks don’t make enough money off one car, obviously, so we do stop frequently to pick up and drop off cars. And yes there is no way for us companies to have tracking like UPS or FedEx. Personally I like to call my customers once a day and update them on where I am as communication is everything. Besides I would want that if I was shipping my car no matter the cost. Great video Doug as always!
"And yes there is no way for us companies to have tracking like UPS or FedEx."
What's the reason why you can't?
I love the car reviews, but by far my favorite Doug videos are the random well-researched topics. Thanks!!
It's so cool to see Doug sitting in front of his Carrera GT. It brings a smile to my face ! Again, congrats Doug, it so well deserved !
During the COVID-19 pandemic I made 3 roundtrips from NY to Denver, each leg made in 2 days. I agree that one becomes pretty proficient as to what time you have to leave, what intermediate stop is ideal, how long, how often and where to stop. It's really great fun!
it's kinda funny to think how all the sad leftists were muzzled and stuck inside while the rest of us were enjoying the open road

@@DisappointedScrosh Pandemic*
9:42 This is insane. On my one cross-country trip in 2020, my longest day was from San Antonio, Texas to Tucson, Arizona - 12 hours and 17 minutes. My second longest day was from Boynton Beach, Florida to New Orleans, Louisiana - 11 hours and 17 minutes. Those days were TIRING and LONG. I can't even imagine spending 18 hours and 40 minutes in a car in one day.
It's bordering on dangerous.
@@brumby92 I mean, that's with the assumption that he did it himself. He does have a wife and possibly friends that came along as well, who could've taken turns driving. When I drove those 12-hour legs I was with my dad who drove around half the time.
Not a lot of us Doug's out there! Love your channel, congrats on your success and love that car!
Cheers,
Douglas
Imagine not loving this guy. You deserve it all, Doug. Congrats, onwards and upwards!
That was actually really fascinating and funny! Also a really good and benign use of an AirTag😂
This is an incredibly entertaining video!! Thank you always Doug :)
That WAS fun! I think a lot of us were smiling as we listened along. Lol, you wanted to interrogate the driver but I would hope the person would stand up and have fun with it but truly not divulge much details.
Shoutout from a fan in South Africa for the shirt. I love your energy and enthusiasm, and hope you have or will get the opportunity to do a few game drives in our beautiful country. 🇿🇦
Doug is the kind of guy to track someone’s location with just an AirTag
Doug, I've seen hundreds of your videos and I have to say this is now in my top 5 favorite ones.
One of the coolest videos I've ever seen Doug, and I'm glad it was yours. I was always intrigued about the car transporter experience trip wise ever since I watched Barrett Jackson/Legendary Motorcar all through my 20s and they always endorsed and showed off International Van Lines for transport after purchase.
This is actually a really good story. I recently shipped a vehicle and it’s great being able to track.
Yup I've driven across country drivers dozens of times and I know all my stops. I even have an amazing book that tells me what's at every exit along every interstate. Then I take a highlighter for the exits and places I can park my trailer. I every mark where I can park my 1 car trailer and where my 2 car trailer will fit! I did my first cross country trip by myself 3 months after getting my license at 16 in a Saab convertible in 1999 from Maryland to Carson City, Nevada!
What is this magical book called?
Great story Doug. I’ve done a few cross country trips using hand controls. I am a paraplegic but love driving. Anyway I loved your story! Keep on driving.🧑🏽🦽🚘
I'm a bus driver for a regional/city system.
Been a fan here for years.
This is my favorite Doug Demuro, and there's almost no cars.
Reason being, driving a bus is about the kinds of things this truck route required.
Love driving across the U.S. The longest trip I drove was from Toledo to Newport Beach, California. Probably the best part of the trip was driving U.S. 50 through Nevada and that roadway is known as "The loneliest road in America"
Legend! Why? Genuine as they come. Feel like I am with an old friend who is telling me a personal story.
Seeing that CGT in the background is soo satisfying! I've waited for it long ago!
I once drove from Bangor Maine to Oklahoma city in under 20 hours, 2000 miles. Highway patrol pulled me over and didn't believe me, but I had receipts.
Oh cool! I did the same thing with my Carrera GT when I shipped mine across the country!
imagine being doug‘s wife and walking into the living room and doug is just discussing with himself which route the truck driver has to take to arrive faster while shouting at the laptop
For some reason I feel that is not the quirkiest thing Doug does on a daily basis lol
I ate a Hippo
Doug is one of the biggest car yourtubers. And has the most sensibly price merchandise. Bravo for not overpricing your merch
Well, as an European trucker, I can say, that here in Europe rules are even more strict, than rule in the USA. For instance we can drive 9 hours a day, which we can extend to 10 twice a week. Our working day lenght is 13 hours, which we can extend to 15 three times a week. Respectively our daily rest is 11 hours normal or 9 hours shortened. Weekly rest is 45 hours normal. And of top of that the speed limit is 90 kmh or 56 mph. Of course there is a lot more rules and regulations, but this is simplified version.
P. S. : Nothing better, than seeing your dream coming true. I wish you thousands of kilometers pure joy and memorable moments with this car! Greetings from Bulgaria.
I just love Doug and his videos, this was a fun one reminds me of his old videos were Doug would do fun things with his personal cars.
Doug is the type of guy who deserves to get his dream car
I loved your excitement about the process. And of course I love the car you got.
I got to scratch a cross country drive from LA to New Jersey off my bucket list just before Christmas. I think my time was 1 day 19hrs.
Drove a late model Passat across(very comfortable and capable car. Handled the Midwest snow well) It felt like I was playing Out Run in VR!
I went the northern route and drove through those snowstorms. Saw so many abandoned crashed and disabled vehicles(they got the worst of it!) these were the lowest temperatures I’d ever experienced! (I’m from NYC) Picked up a Colorado hoodie during a gas stop. watched the landscape, the weather and the sky change. It was amazing!
I’d be curious to drive some of your recommended routes as that won’t be my last time. Here’s an idea, A vid about your favorite places, attractions or recommendations. Glad the delivery went smooth, Cool vid Doug!
Doug's like when I was a kid after Christmas when I had like $5 and couldn't wait for stores to open to spend my riches.
That was a VERY long time ago....when $5 would go far 🤣
So I am not sure if this was already mentioned but the AirTag most likely pinged the driver (if he had an iPhone) to let him know an AirTag was traveling with him so he most likely knew already. But I did love seeing Doug’s reaction with all of this. Just like me waiting for car parts or something to come in the mail!
Doug is the type of guy... that just makes me smile. Love you, Dougie. ❤️
I can’t believe you finally got your dream car! I’ve been watching you the last 7 years and content is amazing.
Had a car shipped 10 years ago. I didn't log the miles (worst mistake ever), so I have no idea what was done with it. Coffee was spilled all over the inside of the dash.
It's been a while since I shipped one of my cars, but how much fun would it have been if I could track it? Cool stuff Doug!
Awesome vid Doug would love to see more like this
Great story Doug and congratulations again! I bought my mid-engined Porsche from across the country as well tow years ago. Mine is just a lowly 981 Boxster S though lol. Not jealous I LOVE my car!!!
I looked for six months and found the car with every option I wanted save one- the X73 suspension so I’ve yet to do that, but I have the parts, so soon. Incredibly the car was in Phoenix where my brother lives. He’s been in the automotive industry for over thirty years and went to the dealer to check it out.
I found it on Car Gurus at a five star rated dealer.
The dealer had posted more than fifty photos and it looked immaculate. He specializes in used Porsches and Mercedes and arranged the shipping for me.
He said he had a hard time finding a transport company so I waited weeks. Finally it shipped but it was on top of an open hauler! When I finally got the car it was filthy! Nevertheless it was as good as the pictures implied once cleaned, and ran perfectly. I’ve enjoyed two years and 12,000 miles in my dream car.
There is nothing like a mid-engined Porsche. I understand the mystique now. My biggest problem now is not spending money on mods for it lol.
I’m so happy for you and hope you enjoy many years with your dream car as I will.
I once took an Amtrak train from around Indianapolis to Albuquerque, and it took over 36 hours. That is an incredible drive, especially in a single day. Props to your road-tripping skills Doug!
Doug is such a nerd….in the best possible way. That why we love watching you. 😊 😉
Awesome. Fascinating content. As always, Doug, you deliver. Yep didn’t know alot of this.
I am a truck driver and I applaud you for creating and posting this video. The general public has no idea what all is involved with the trucking industry.
One thing that I would like to add is that most trucks are speed limited, or governed. The common top speed that you will run into on the interstate is 60-70 mph. And now that you have learned what you described and the top speed limitation, it should help understand why sometimes you fun into two trucks running along side each other for quite some time and it's understandably aggravating to other drivers. But, with the limited time per day you have to work with, the faster truck wants to "keep the hammer down" as much as possible.
So the next time you're stuck behind two trucks and you wish you could push them out of the way, keep your aggressions directed to the slow truck. If they would slow down one or two miles per hour, the faster truck could pass so much faster and everyone could go on their merry way.
And the hours are limited to 11 hours of driving. It's a Fedral law. Applies to all states. There are state by state regulations, but those typically are for permit (commonly oversize) loads and some hazmat loads.
No comments?!?! Awesome car Doug I’m sure it feels amazing to own something like that lol
It’s more than interesting to follow the car you bought in transit, tracking your car will give you appreciation for everything a truck driver does within the scope of their job and that’s a wonderful thing. As a society we need more appreciation of others skills and knowledge!
Doug is such a Nerd and so am I! I appreciate it because I love knowing things I Ike this

The Carrera GT looks so good in the back.
Thanks for the video! I'd be happy to see one about how you plan and execute your cross-country trips!
Thanks Doug! You gave me an idea I never considered before. Next time I get relocated and have to move. I’m going to make sure I AirTag the P.O.D.S container with all my stuff.
Last time I moved they lost it for about 48 hours and couldn’t contact the driver.
It will also be fun to track him on the road .
Feels weird to be this early
Doug’s the type of guy who’s more excited about what a truck driver did in Texas than him receiving his dream car

All the way from South Africa, Thanks for repping South Africa with that tee @DougDeMuro ZA
I'm so happy for you that you finally got your dream car. enjoy the ride.
Doug, like you I have lots of experience driving cross country. We drove from Ramona, Ca. to Grand Junction, Co. in one shot a few years ago. That's 827 miles and we were in our late 60's at the time. LONG day. We've since moved to Twin Falls, Idaho and I drove a 26' Penske box truck towing a trailer from Ramona to Twin Falls in one shot. That was a 17 hour day.

Hey hello there that's great content you give I thoroughly enjoy your content, I absolutely love your videos, God bless you and keep them coming, it's George from Kenya.
I'm a truck driver, I've driven to all 48 states (flatbed) but now I'm local tanker, and I have to say, coming from OTR where you are always waiting for a shipper or reciever, to an industry where everything is 24/7 is so nice. Not having to worry about what time I'm leaving because they don't close makes your day or week so much easier.
Ironically I'm more quick to click on these kinda doug videos than some car reviews these days cause I know there'll be some cool insight lol
I live in Mass and have always dreamt of a cross country road trip! The fact that you’ve done it is super impressive. I would love to see you vlog the experience next time, and give us tips and tricks for a successful trip!
I moved from MA to OR. My biggest piece of advice is do your long driving days in the Midwest. There's nothing to see. Once you get to the mountain and Pacific time zones, then take your time and stop at places you want to see. Some of the most beautiful parts of the world are in Idaho and Montana, which I was not aware of before driving across the country.
@@I_dont_give_a_care Yes, please keep ignoring the natural beauty we have here, we prefer it that way.
@@Ian.Murray lol. Sure thing. Enjoy your dirt farms. I think I might have seen a hill somewhere in the Midwest one time.
@@I_dont_give_a_care Yep, that's all we are! Please stay ignorant and FAR AWAY 😊😊
@@Ian.Murray I’m from the Midwest. I drove from Oklahoma city back to Chicago and the drive was one of the most boring drives I ever taken. There’s really nothing much to see honestly
I too, love me a good road trip and have made more that 30 trips comparable to yours. Gotta say, Indy to Albuquerque is impressive. 'Wasn't ready to give you props for a video enunciating the obvious but you earned it.
Doug, I felt you on the cross country trip .
Traveling from Tennesse to California
Is no walk in the park.
But its fun to take my sports car to all the locations and know how long each stop to get there.
I’d be exactly like Doug if I had to ship my carrera gt across Europe since I like geography and cars. Only him can do this kind of content

I don't why, but his excitement is really contagious. Cool story, dude!
I can’t believe this is my favourite Doug Video by far and absolutely the way too track your car
Doug the kind of guy to remotely track his own car
Dougs the type of guy to break the terms of service on a car haulier company
Hey Doug. Big fan. I drive trucks and haul cars occasionally. Yes 11 hrs a day legally to drive and have to shut down for 10 before a fresh 11 to drive again. Now as far as lumbering it depends on where you are, weather and type of roads. Flat out on the west coast somewhere outside of California.. you can ride at 70-75 mph consistently.
That was super interesting! I have done the cross-country trip alone and do these long distance drives pretty often. The longest I've traveled straight was from Los Angeles (La Canada) to Austin, TX. Just about 1400 miles and 21 total hours; the last two hours were incredibly difficult. I started at 10 pm and drove through the night, which was great because it was amazing seeing all the semi-trucks traveling through inland CA and Arizona (literally miles of trucks lit-up in the night without any breaks between them).
The truck drivers in the west coast, with what I've experienced as opposed to the east coast, are incredibly courteous. They made quick passes using turn signals and all of them stayed in the right lane, I mean literally the entire left lane was completely open the whole night. It rocked. The minimal grade changes there definitely has some part in that.

Doug would really be the type of guy to achieve his dreams and enjoy his well deserved success
I did the same thing with my new Mercedes when I got an update that it left the factory in Germany. They told me what port and what day and you can figure out what ship it was going to be on and you can track them across the ocean. Talk about slow, but relentless travel, 4500 miles at 18 knots, no stops until it gets to the port and then you watch it sit for 4 days before it unloads.
Doug is the type of guy to film a video about an AirTag he forgot in his car
