I just set my new record at 6.5 hours. From somewhere in far NE Texas to Downtown Baton Rouge. 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan

ETA: Since this board is full of retards, I am talking about the longest you have driven without stopping the car.

Baton Rouge, LA to Breckinridge, CO.

Only stopped the car when it needed gas.

IIRC it took me about 19 hours.

ETA- But the longest I’ve spent in the car without a substantial amount of time not driving was a mandatory evacuation from Biloxi, MS. Drive straight to my brother’s house in North Louisiana. Because of the traffic I saw the sun rise in Biloxi and saw it set again before I made it through Baton Rouge. That was the worst traffic in which I’ve ever been stuck in my life.

The reading comprehension in this thread is proof of the decline of society.

I don't think you can drive from Dallas to Hong Kong. But, we get it, you're a pilot. We know.

For me, probably about 8-9 hours. Since we can't include gas stops. That trip was from BR to Right passed Tampa. I want to say somewhere by Sarasota IIRC.

Eta - you should change OP to say without stopping, even for gas. When I think of stopping, I think of a night off in the hotel or something. Not a gas break.

Cool.

But we're talking about on the ground.

Farthest I've driven nonstop is Baton Rouge to Richmond, Virginia and that was fricking brutal but worth it as time is money.

That's some really good range on a tank of gas.

They let y'all work 15 hour days? I figured y'all would be required breaks at some point.

That's a very strict definition of nonstop.

You're not going to get far on one tank of gas. My truck on one tank of gas can get as far as from BR to 50-60 miles past Houston.
