Not sure how many miles it was, but I drove 13 hours straight one day last summer when we drove from BR to Las Vegas. Never again

According to Google maps, 744 miles.

Worst part was that I started out at 11:00 PM at night after being up all day. I drove from West Palm Beach, FL to my home at that time in north Alabama. I'd started the day out in the Bahamas and got back into West Palm Beach via boat that night. By the time I got home the next day (seems like it was mid to late afternoon) I was all but delirious.

Nonstop?


I would stop for a couple hours along the way and rest but never got a hotel.

Drove a Uhaul towing my Explorer from Birmingham to Connecticut only stopping for gas and food. No radio, no smart phone. Miserable trip.

i was gonna say--i don't remember it originally saying in one day.

Atlanta to Missoula without stopping to sleep, solo, with Uhaul is my record. Totally unsafe and will never do it again. Obviously that took longer than a day, but it was all one day to me.
