Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to tell when you'll see your truck, and that duration and date are somewhat meaningless. Once shipped, you're at the mercy of the shipping company. Factors that will play a role include which plant in the US it's coming from, if it's rail, convoy or combination.

If it was shipped via rail, and you can get your dealer to give you a rail car number from the visibility report, you might be able to track its progress through the rail company and updated destinations, but even with that, there are many seeing their trucks reach the final railyard and sit for a long time while waiting on a truck to bring it the rest of the way to the dealer.

It's more sitting and waiting until you finally get the call.
