Trying to track my car location

I bought a car from a dealer is LA and having it shipped to me in TX. The carrier is very late picking the car up and I want to keep tabs on it while it's in transit. The MB dealer said I can track it in Mercedes me but the location hasn't changed in 6 hours. I'm guessing the car location quits moving when the ignition is shut off? or maybe with the ignition off it only enables the beacon once every 12 or 24 hours? I have remote start so I suppose I could just start the car to see where it is? lol.

You can track the car with the ignition off on the Mercedes me app

Actually wouldn't surprise me, but it did move from the dealer's parking lot to a street two blocks away so the transport company either picked it up or my car is sitting out in the street somewhere.

I tried to remote start the car but it says the doors are unlocked. I tried to lock the doors and it is not responding.

I got the doors to lock and started the car and it updated the location, it's sitting at a truck stop in Iowa, LA haha. Now it's not letting me unlock the doors, I hope the guy didn't leave the keys inside the car. Oh nvm I got it. Problem now is I only have one more remote start left.

I had a BMW shipped to Texas once and used the BMW app to detect where it was located. It appeared that my transport tracker took loads of breaks. I couldn't tell if he stopped off at home for a weekend in Knoxville or what but it took 5 days to get from VA.
