Used to ride some Iron Butt motorcycle rides. Most I ever did was called a bun burner gold. Did a little over 1600 miles in a little over 23 hours. Much easier on a bike than in a car. Check out the Iron Butt Association.

About 11 hours, although the return trip was much longer due to inclement weather.
I was on the shit list of my manager at the time, fucker insisted I be present for a meeting in Charleston WV at 9am. I lived at the time in Martinsburg, 5 and a half hours away. I left at 3 am, arrived a few minutes before 9. The meeting was an hour or so, I turned around and headed home. Rain in Charleston turned to sleet by Fairmont. Which turned to light snow by the time I hit I68. In Cumberland MD there was 3 or 4 inches on the interstate, I didn't get home until about 10 pm that night. I was paid OT for all travel before 8am and after 5 pm. |

I drove from Charlotte, NC to Ft. Myers Fl. a little over 10 hours took me about 20 minutes to do what I was there to do and then I drove back. I have also driven straight through from Houston Tx. to Charlotte NC about 15 hours. I don't recommend doing that.

1985 - DAY 1 - Dallas to Los Angeles straight through with my employer's son in law pulling a show car on a POS trailer with an underpowered tow vehicle. Had a flat tire on the trailer at 03:00 because the trailer brakes would lock up. Worst road trip to date at that point.
DAY 3 - Los Angeles to Dallas straight through with my employer's SIL. No drama on the way home as we got new trailer tires and had the trailer brakes adjusted(wtf?!). SIL claimed to be a trailer guru cowboy horse person. Bullshit. Anybody know wtf was up with trailer brakes that go out of adjustment? I am still pissed off.  I drove most of the way as I did not trust my employer's SIL's driving. Of the 3k+ miles, I prolly drove 2k. Rant over. |

My BBG was almost 20 years ago, don't think I could do it today. Longest I've gone recently is NE IL to Forsythe, MT in one shot (on 4 wheels), about 1100 miles and 14 hours. |

1200 miles and then the next day turned around and drove it back. 2400 miles in two days. On 5 hours sleep. Haven't had a red bull since.... Oh I did the snowball challenge as well in 2017. 523 miles on a snowmobile in one day. 18 hours of nothing but riding. NO beer. No restaurants. Just ride. That's a day!!

I make an annual trip to Charlotte from NJ, that's about 10 hours give or take. I don't mind that drive at all.
Longest was probably NJ to Myrtle Beach, with some pretty terrible traffic, it was something like 15 hours behind the wheel. That sucked. The most ridiculous was 8 hours to go from Wildwood, NJ to New Brunswick, NJ coming back from the beach on labor day weekend. Normally a 2 hour drive (130 mi). It took 8 hours. That was probably the shittiest drive I've experienced. |

12 hours a couple of times. Once, 11:55 into a 12 hour drive some idiot kid just finishing his work shift ran a stop sign in his Jeep and almost totaled my car.
I routinely did 8-9 hr drives, listened to thousands of hours of podcasts and learned a hell of a lot about health, medicine, economics, politics, tech. Also spent thousands of hours on conference calls and afterwards Zoom (audio only of course). Total waste of time... |

Flew from Oakland ca to Portland Oregon. Had lunch, went to the DMV and drove back to Oakland in the span of 15 hours. Fucking sucked. Heavy rain on the way back for hours. Think 15 mph on I5 with maybe 20ft visibility.

NE OK to SW CO, 817 to 910 miles depending on route taken due to seasonal weather. 13-14 hrs one way, I do a round trip once per month, routinely. One tank of diesel gets me 500-600 miles w/o stopping. Probably going again next week.
I’ve done Moab, UT to Tulsa, OK (1,000+) in one setting a couple of times. Motorcycle, I’ve ridden 500-600 miles per day dozens of times, longest was 800+. I now limit myself to ~500 per day, since I’m 71. |
