Awaiting transport

From the AWESOME "Ultimate ordering/tracking...." sticky above:

Quote:
Awaiting Transport
Your car gets loaded onto a train and is then driven to Bremerhaven, where it is unloaded and then has to wait for a ship. This is the painful part; you have no idea how many cars are ahead of yours in line to get on a ship, so you have to just keep hoping it doesn’t take too long. Mine took 8 days from production completion to getting on the ship.
Which has me thinking: given the huge inventories at ports like Bremerhaven ("Auto Sprawl"), I wonder if recently ordered cars will get to jump to the front of the line and get on the boat quickly? I mean, these cars are sold so nobody wants them clogging up the storage lots, right?
