Ask him / her to ping the car. That's how I've been getting info on where my car is ("Birmingham rail yard." "Birmingham rail yard." "Birmingham rail yard." ... ). The car will tell the DS where it is. They just have to query it.
If yours shipped by rail (very likely) then the DS really cannot influence the transloading schedule from rail to truck. It comes off the railcar when the railroad is ready to take it off. After that the DS may have some influence on priority of shipping the final leg. If my DS is any indication, they can find out a LOT about your car very quickly - shipping paperwork progress and such at the very least.
I'm going to check in with my DS later this afternoon (I've been doing that every couple days since the car was shipped) for an update ("Birmingham rail yard" probably).
When I finally broke down and called my DS, he told me that sometimes the car won't "ping" because of spotty signal when they are on the truck. Nonetheless, he thinks it'll be in Tampa today and we have a delivery scheduled for Tuesday morning. Only 3 days left to wait . . . 74 hours . . . 4,440 minutes . . . 266,400 seconds . . .
