Based on your calculations, I can say that you are assuming the load to arrive with a "loading slope" on node 1. But in fact, the load would be like an impact on node 1 and at the same time, it would have an upward slope for node 2. Hence, the arrival times will ALWAYS be the same for the first 2 nodes.
Hope this clarifies the doubt. Do let us know if further assistance would be required.
